🦷 A Broken Tooth Should Not Be Ignored

A broken or damaged tooth can create an area where food and bacteria are more easily retained. Over time, this can contribute to dental decay and further breakdown of the tooth.

If decay progresses deep into the tooth, bacteria can reach the dental pulp (nerve). This may cause inflammation, pain and, in some cases, loss of pulp vitality and infection.

What may begin as a relatively straightforward problem can then require more complex treatment, such as root canal treatment or, where the tooth cannot be predictably restored, extraction.

The important message is simple: if a tooth is broken or damaged, having it assessed early can help determine the appropriate treatment and preserve tooth structure where possible.

🦷 From hidden decay to a healthy, restored tooth.

This tooth had significant structural breakdown and active dental decay that had progressed beneath the surface. Like many cases, there may be little or no pain until the damage becomes more advanced.

The photo shows the immediate result after removing the compromised tooth structure and placing a supportive restoration to help protect the tooth and restore normal function.

Early dental assessments can often identify problems before they become more complex, allowing for more conservative treatment and better long-term outcomes.

Treatment recommendations are based on an individual clinical assessment.

🦷 Small Area. Bigger Impact on Tooth Health

Dental decay does not always look significant at first, but it can progress beneath the surface and weaken the tooth over time. Early assessment is important, even in the absence of symptoms.

The focus: Stability and preservation

Management in this case involved removing decayed tooth structure and restoring the tooth to support function and seal the area. This helps to:

• Limit further progression of decay
• Support normal biting function
• Protect remaining tooth structure

Treatment recommendations are based on an individual clinical assessment.

When teeth show significant wear areas like these, it indicates that the protective enamel has been lost, leaving the softer internal dentine exposed.

From a clinical perspective, our goal is a structural health priority.

-Halting Rapid Erosion: Dentine wears down much faster than enamel. Restoring these surfaces shields the remaining natural tooth from further loss.

-Preventing Sensitivity: Sealing exposed areas protects the nerve pathways from external triggers and potential inflammation.

-Bite Stability: Rebuilding the tooth's height helps maintain a healthy jaw position and prevents uneven strain on surrounding teeth.

When a tooth has significant decay, it is not just a spot, it is a structural issue. Left untreated, decay can reach the inner nerve, leading to discomfort, potential infection, and even bone loss.

The Goal: Stability
The focus of this restoration was purely about health and structural integrity. By removing the damaged tissue and sealing the tooth, we:

- Halt the spread of bacteria to neighbouring teeth.

- Restore the biting surface so the jaw can function properly.

- Protect the root to maintain the long-term health of the jawbone.

A healthy mouth is the gateway to a healthy body. If you have been putting off a check-up because "it doesn't hurt yet," remember that prevention is always simpler than a cure.

🤷‍♀️Why is there pain when my wisdom teeth are coming through?
1. Tooth pushing against your other molars
2. Bacteria trapped under gum flaps (called pericoronitis)
Red flag signs: redness, swelling, or tenderness =time to see a dentist!

🤷What happens if my wisdom tooth is close to a nerve?
We use precise digital scans to check tooth-to-nerve proximity and plan the safest removal, always prioritising your safety.

🤷‍♂️Do you offer same day emergency appointments?
Yes, absolutely. We keep spots open daily for people in proper pain (you know the kind: throbbing, cannot sleep, ibuprofen not cutting it).

Just call us first thing on 08 8327 2737 the earlier you ring, the better chance we can squeeze you in today. Just help and relief.
