Worn teeth or a sore jaw on waking can have several causes, including teeth grinding.

Our Northern Dental Gordon team can assess your teeth and jaw and discuss suitable management. For some people, a custom-made occlusal splint may help protect teeth from grinding-related wear.

A splint does not necessarily stop grinding, and it needs to fit correctly and be reviewed.

Contact our Gordon team to arrange an assessment.

Has a sore tooth started feeling better, but a gum swelling remains?

Pain can ease even while a tooth abscess is still active, so symptoms alone cannot confirm that an infection has resolved. In our article, we explain what an abscess may look like, why professional assessment matters and possible treatments. Rapidly spreading swelling or difficulty breathing or swallowing needs emergency medical attention.

A filling and a fissure sealant may look similar, but they serve different purposes.

A filling repairs a tooth affected by decay or damage. A fissure sealant covers selected grooves on a tooth to help reduce the risk of decay.

At Northern Dental Gordon, we assess the tooth and your decay risk before recommending either option. We’ll explain what’s needed and how to care for the tooth afterwards.

Ask our team at your next visit.

Healthy gums deserve attention, too. Gum disease and heart disease share certain risk factors, although this does not mean one directly causes the other.

Daily brushing, cleaning between your teeth and regular dental visits can help keep your teeth and gums in good condition. ❤️

Does tooth decay always need the same treatment?

The approach depends on how far it has progressed. Early mineral loss may be managed with fluoride and changes to daily care, while a cavity usually needs restorative treatment. We explain the stages in our article, including why regular check-ups matter even when a tooth feels fine and how we assess which options may suit you.

Not every wisdom tooth needs to be removed. An examination and appropriate imaging can help us check its position, identify potential concerns and recommend the right next step for you.

Does your toothache flare with a cold drink, chewing or at night?

Noting the trigger and how long the pain lasts can help us understand your symptoms, but the sensation alone cannot confirm the cause. Our article explains common pain patterns, what a dental assessment involves and the warning signs that call for prompt attention.
