#Chipped tooth

[venturezzz]

When venture was eating ice cream they didn't have a brain freeze, their chipped tooth ended up touching the cold ice cream causing them to have a reaction... prove me wrong. In the clip you see venture licking the ice cream instead of biting it, because of their tooth sensitivity... primarily licking ice cream warms it before eating it, avoiding the shock of the cold temperatures of ice cream while still enjoying it.

Because there's no way you can get a brain freeze from just licking ice cream.

thinkin bout the first time i chipped my tooth

[greentrickster]

So, back when I was ten I managed to wonk my face on a piece of metal playground equipment and knock a tiny chip off the bottom left corner of my front left tooth. It didn’t hurt, there was no blood, and when we moved back to the States a few months later the dentist put a little bit of white tooth-replacement stuff on it, and I went along my merry way.

Flash forward to the night before last, and I’m brushing my teeth and notice, hmmm, something’s off- oh! The chip in my tooth is visible again, the fix must have popped off. Better call the dentist about that.

So I went and saw the dentist and it got fixed right up, easy-peasy, didn’t even need any numbing agents or pain killers, tooth all fixed again, yay!

Except... they did a really careful job matching the new fix to the colour of my tooth. And the old fix had been a decently different shade than the rest of my tooth, not hugely noticeable, but enough.

And now for the first time in twenty-four years, my front left tooth is a uniform colour, and I’m not sure I like this. Probably not a complaint they usually get.

[allthefandomss]

Just dropped my phone on my face and kinda chipped my front tooth. Because I totally needed that right now

Advanced Gum Care: Protect Your Smile's Foundation

Gum Disease Treatment Sydney | General Dentistry | Smile Concepts

Our dentists are experts in gum disease treatment in Sydney, with laser gum disease treatment we can save your teeth as long as we tackle the cause of the problems.

Gum disease affects most people at some time during their life.

It is usually caused by a build-up of plaque on our teeth.

Plaque is a collection of millions of bacteria that cause an infection around your teeth and gums.

The body fights this infection and destroys the gum tissue and ultimately the bone that supports your gums.

Once the bone is lost you will risk losing your teeth. That is why your oral health is so important! Regular brushing and flossing will decrease the chance of getting periodontal disease. In the meantime, make sure that you brush your teeth twice a day would help support the health of your oral conditions.

SO DO NOT LOSE YOUR TEETH!! Once your teeth are lost, you will face a lot more tooth loss treatments such as dental implants or even all-teeth-on-4.

What are the signs and symptoms of gum disease or periodontal disease?

One of the common signs of gum disease is bleeding gums.

Red swollen gums, toothache, pus extruding from gums, receding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, bad taste from mouth are all other signs of gum disease and gum infection.

Gum disease treatment with meticulous cleaning of teeth at least twice a day can help prevent gum disease. It’s worth noting that early gingivitis can be reversed with healthier hygiene practices, such as brushing your teeth regularly. However, if the disease has progressed you need to be seen by us to make sure we can help prevent further destruction.

How do you get swollen gums?

When bacteria produce the toxin that destroys gums, the body responds by sending our own body’s defence cells to attack the toxin.

This leads to collection of fluid under the gums leading to swollen gums.

What about sore gums?

When the fluid collects under the gums, after the attack from the bacteria and our defence cells, this leads to pressure building up in the tissues.

This process is called inflammation and it could lead to sore gums.

This is also when we would recommend seeing your dentist as soon as possible to give you medical advice on what you can do to get rid of sore and swollen gums.

Does Gum DiseaseEvolve?

Gum disease evolves with time if warning signs are ignored and your oral health is not being taken care of.

Gum Disease – Gingivitis

Gingivitis is early gum disease, which occurs when dental plaque is allowed to build up on teeth, and becomes hard ‘calculus’. This happens when your oral health is not done correctly and there’s a lack of brushing and flossing regularly.

This is most common where the gum margin joins the tooth.

The characteristics of gingivitis are bleeding, redness and swelling of the gum, sensitive teeth and gums that bleed easily.

Gum Disease – Gingivitis

Periodontitis is advanced gum disease that occurs if gingivitis is not treated.

The gum margin that seals to the tooth is weakened, allowing bacteria and their products to cause more inflammation in the structures below the gum margin.

These structures include the covering of the tooth root (cementum), the bone, and the fibres that connect the cementum to the bone (periodontal ligament).

As the disease destroys these structures, spaces form between the tooth and the gum, as the bone is lost.

These spaces are called ‘periodontal pockets’.

Further signs of periodontitis include bleeding, swelling and receding gums together with bad breath, a bad taste in the mouth and loose teeth.

That’s why it is important to get gum disease treatment as soon as the signs arise and get professional cleaning every 6 month to prevent the gums and teeth getting from these diseases.

4 Stages of Gum Disease

Normal, Healthy Gingiva (Gums)

Healthy gums and bone anchor teeth firmly in place. Great Oral hygiene and oral condition.

Gingivitis

Plaque and its byproducts start to irritate the gums, making them tender, inflamed, and likely to bleed. Gum becomes more sensitive to touch and brush.

Periodontitis

Unremoved, plaque hardens into calculus (tartar).

As Plaque and calculus continue to build up, the gums begin to recede from the teeth, and pockets form from between the teeth and gums. This is a warning sign of advanced periodontitis.

Advanced Periodontitis

At this stage, the gums recede farther, destroying more bone and the periodontal ligament.

Even healthy teeth may become loose and need to be extracted due to poor oral hygiene and the developement of gum diseases.

Causes & Risk Factorsof Gum Disease

The main cause of periodontal disease is bacterial plaque, a sticky, colourless film that constantly forms on your teeth. Meanwhile, the following risk factors may also affect the oral health of your gums and teeth.

1. Gum Disease due to Smoking/Tobacco Use

Smoking leads to closure of micro blood vessels that transport essential oxygen to tissues so the gum can heal and survive.

Therefore if these blood vessels are closed then there is no nutrients or oxygen reaching the tissues.

This causes the gum tissue to die and ultimately lead to loss of teeth.

2. Genetics

Research proves that up to 30% of the population may be genetically susceptible to gum disease.

3. Pregnancy and Puberty

Changes in hormones during pregnancy can lead to an increased response to bacteria leading to swelling and bleeding of gums due to hormonal changes. It is always recommended to practice good oral hygiene and help prevent any complications during these periods of time.

4. Stress

As you probably already know, stress is linked to many serious conditions such as hypertension, cancer, and numerous other health problems.

Stress is also a risk factor for periodontal disease.

5. Medications

Some drugs, such as oral contraceptives, anti-depressants, and certain heart medicines, can lead to an increased response to gum disease leading to swelling and bleeding of the gums.

6. Clenching or Grinding Your Teeth

Clenching or grinding your teeth can put excess force on the supporting tissues of the teeth and could speed up the rate at which these periodontal tissues are destroyed.

7. Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that causes altered levels of sugar in the blood.

If you are diabetic, you are at higher risk for developing infections, including periodontal diseases.

These infections can impair the ability to process and/or utilize insulin, which may cause your diabetes to be more difficult to control and your infection to be more severe than a non-diabetic.

7. Diabetes

A diet low in important nutrients can compromise the body’s immune system and make it harder for the body to fight off infection.

Because periodontal disease is a serious infection, poor nutrition can worsen the condition of your gums.

8. Poor Nutrition

A diet low in important nutrients can compromise the body’s immune system and make it harder for the body to fight off infection.

Because periodontal disease is a serious infection, poor nutrition can worsen the condition of your gums.

9. Other Systemic Diseases

Diseases that interfere with the body’s immune system may worsen the condition of the gums.

How to preventGum Infection?

You should clean your teeth carefully every day with a soft, small headed toothbrush.

The area where the gum meets the tooth should also be cleaned to ensure the gum tissue and supporting structure remains healthy.

The careful use of dental floss between teeth also assists in removal of plaque.

This will prevent the formation of a gum infection. While it is tempting to avoid cleaning your gums when they are inflamed and bleeding, brushing will help improve the situation.

Professional scaling and cleaning at smile concepts, as one of the gum disease treatment,  allows you to keep your smile healthy and disease free.

If you’ve already lost a tooth to gum infection, you may be interested in dental implants the permanent tooth replacement option.

Miranda Dental Centre Always Have Your Back If You Need Emergency Dentist Sydney

Miranda Dental Centre

Top rated Emergency Dentist Sydney

At Miranda Dental Centre, we have a team of expert dentists with years of experience & advanced technology to treat any dental emergency in Sydney, Miranda, Kingsway, and Sutherland Shire. So whether you cracked your tooth, dislodged it, had a traumatic accident or felt a severe toothache, we are here to help.

We understand how painful these emergencies can be. So we are always ready to offer you the best dental care to minimize the pain & damage.

Sudden Toothache

The first step is to ensure nothing is stuck between your teeth. So rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. Next, try removing the stuck particles with floss, if any. Finally, if the swelling doesn't recede, try placing a cold compress outside your mouth.

You can visit your nearest Pharmacist for any OTC (Over-the-Counter) Medicine for pain relief. If the pain persists, it’s time to visit Miranda Dental Care.

Knocked-out tooth

This situation often arises due to an accident or sudden trauma. It will be painful, but you need to keep calm. Find your natural tooth & rinse it with your saliva if its got dirt. Try to put the tooth in the socket. And if you can't, keep it wet by putting it into milk or saliva (DO NOT USE WATER). Once done, get in touch with the dentist immediately for an emergency appointment. The more time you waste, the less are the chances of saving your natural tooth.

Cracked or Chipped Tooth

Clean your mouth with lukewarm water. Place an icepack to reduce the swelling in your mouth. Just like a knocked-out tooth, time is of great importance. Call the dentist for an emergency appointment & rush to the clinic.

Lost Crown/Filling

This often results because of the loosening of the crown due to the underlying cavity. As the lost crown or filling exposes the sensitive part of your tooth, it's extremely painful. So the moment you feel you have lost your crown/filling, call the dentist for an emergency appointment.

Chipped Tooth Dilemma: Why Dental Bonding Might Be Your Ideal Solution

A chipped tooth can be a source of discomfort and embarrassment, affecting not only your oral health but also your self-esteem. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers various solutions to restore the appearance and functionality of a chipped tooth, and one such effective and minimally invasive option is dental bonding. If you find yourself facing the chipped tooth dilemma, read on to discover why dental bonding in Ventura might be your ideal solution.

Understanding Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that involves the application of a tooth-colored composite resin to repair and reshape a chipped or damaged tooth. This versatile and cost-effective treatment is gaining popularity for its ability to address a range of dental issues, including minor chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. The composite resin used in dental bonding is carefully matched to the natural color of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.

Advantages of Dental Bonding:

Cosmetic Enhancement: Dental bonding is an ideal solution for addressing minor cosmetic issues, such as chipped or discolored teeth. The material used in bonding can be color-matched to the natural shade of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking restoration.

Quick and Painless: Unlike some other dental procedures, dental bonding is a relatively quick and painless process. In most cases, it can be completed in a single office visit, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules.

Conservative Approach: Dental bonding is a conservative method to treating chipped teeth, as it typically requires minimal alteration of the natural tooth structure. This makes it a less invasive option compared to procedures like dental crowns or veneers.

Cost-Effective: In comparison to other cosmetic dentistry procedures, dental bonding is a cost-effective option. It provides an affordable yet impactful solution for individuals looking to enhance their smiles without breaking the bank.

Versatility: Dental bonding is a versatile solution that can address various cosmetic issues beyond chipped teeth. It can be used to close small gaps between teeth, reshape uneven teeth, and even cover exposed tooth roots in cases of gum recession.

The Dental Bonding Process

Now that we've highlighted the benefits of dental bonding, let's explore the typical steps involved in the process:

Preparation: The dentist begins by preparing the tooth surface, ensuring it is clean and free of any debris. In some cases, a minimal amount of enamel may be removed to enhance the bonding process.

Application of Bonding Material: The tooth-colored resin material is applied to the prepared tooth. The dentist skillfully sculpts the material to attain the desired shape and contour.

Curing: A special curing light is used to harden the bonding material. This step ensures the material bonds securely to the tooth and becomes durable.

Finishing Touches: Once the bonding material is hardened, the dentist makes final adjustments to the shape and polish of the bonded tooth. This step is crucial to achieving a natural and seamless blend with the surrounding teeth.

In conclusion, if you find yourself facing the dilemma of a chipped tooth, dental bonding in Ventura may be the ideal solution for you. This versatile and cost-effective cosmetic dentistry procedure offers numerous benefits, from its aesthetic appeal to its minimally invasive nature. By opting for dental bonding, you can restore both the appearance and functionality of your smile.

Remember, a chipped tooth doesn't have to be a permanent blemish on your smile. With the advancements in cosmetic dentistry, you can regain your confidence and enjoy a flawless smile once again. Consult with your dentist in Ventura to explore whether dental bonding is the right choice for you. Your journey to a brighter, more confident smile may be just one dental bonding appointment away.

Laser root canal treatment Sydney to save the tooth from being lost with pain-free solution, we complete most root canal treatments in a single visit.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

The procedure of a root canal treatment is where there is removal of the dead or dying nerve inside your tooth that is causing pain.

Almost all the time, there is formation of an abscess inside your teeth just like a pimple on your skin and this needs to be ‘popped’ and drained. NO PAIN of course.

Once that is done we need to clean the ‘canal’ that the nerve was in with LASERS, OZONE and other chemicals and then seal it with a special filling called a root canal filling.

Modern treatments used for the steps of root canal treatment Sydney including lasers and ozone, allow us to complete most root canal therapies in a single visit.

Therefore there is no waste of your time and multiple injections and multiple visits.

How does dental pulp in the root canal affect our teeth?

The dental pulp is a soft tissue located in the roots within the teeth.

It provides nerves, nutrients, connective tissue, and blood vessels to the tooth.

Before the invention of root canal treatment, the tooth was often removed and discarded, but now root canal therapy allows us the chance to save the tooth from being lost.

What are root canal symptoms?

First of all there will pain. This is a throbbing pain.

Then you won’t be able to sleep at night.

Root Canal Treatment Sydney

What causes root canal pain?

Root canal pain is perceived if you have one of the following:

First, if decay reaches the nerve of your tooth, the bacteria can infect your nerve and therefore cause really severe pain.

Furthermore, if a new filling has been placed which is very deep and near the nerve, that can also cause severe toothache.

As a result of these situations it can lead to root canal pain and therefore needing the root canal therapy.

Finally at Smile Concepts Sydney CBD & Five Dock you will get the best care and comfort knowing it is painless and done in one visit.

Before Surgery

What is the emergency management of root canal pain?

The first thing you need to do is call the emergency dentist Sydney (in this case that is us)

Our direct number is 02 8064 9130.

Whilst you are waiting for the emergency dentist, you can take some pain killers that may relieve you pain temporarily.

Sometimes antibiotics are needed.

But the main thing is to get rid of the infection by seeking dental care. Do not delay.

What happens if I wait too long for root canal therapy?

If you wait too long to get root canal therapy then the bacteria infecting the tooth could spread and cause the bone and even more teeth to become infected.

Eventually pain, inflammation, and swelling will occur.

Consequently, several teeth may have to be removed if root therapy is not done in time.

Why does the pulp in the root canal treatment need to be removed?

When the infected pulp is not removed, pain and swelling can result.

Certain by products of the infection can injure your jaw bones.

Without treatment, your tooth may have to be removed.

What happens after a Root Canal Treatment?

Once a root canal Sydney treatment  is completed we place a crown on the tooth to protect it from:

further infection

fracturing and therefore loss of the tooth

It is very important to place the crown on the tooth and should not be taken lightly.

How long will the restored root canal tooth last?

Your restored tooth could last a lifetime, if you continue to care for your teeth and gums.

However, regular check-ups are necessary.

As long as the roots of a treated tooth are nourished by the tissues around it, your tooth will remain healthy.

W hat is the root canal cost?

Root canal cost varies form tooth to tooth depending on several factors. This includes:

The position of the tooth in the mouth

The number of nerves in the tooth

The curvature of the roots of the teeth

The difficulty of the root canal treatment

The root canal cost starts from 1,000 to 2,500 depends on the complexity of the case.

If you have already had a root canal therapy in the past and the tooth has got infected again then the root canal cost increases, as you have to redo the root canal.

Sometimes it is better to remove the tooth and restore the space with a dental implant.

What is the root canal procedure?

Below are several steps involved in the root canal therapy.

Our team carries out the entire root canal procedure.

Sometimes an endodontist is needed in some cases.

An endodontist is a professional dentist that specializes in root canal treatment and root therapy.

We are not an endodontist but dentist that have special interest in endodontics.

Following are the steps of a root canal procedure:

Who is an endodontist?

An endodontist is a dentist who has specialized in doing root canal treatment.

Is it worth noting that most dentist can perform root canal procedure in Sydney.

However if there is a difficult case then we would refer you to an endodontist.

Another thing to note is that we are not a specialist endodontist.

We are a general dentist with a special interest in endodontics.

What are the alternatives to root canal treatment?

The main alternative is to extract the tooth.

As a result you will have a missing tooth.

This should be replaced with a dental implant to prevent the movement of other teeth and its resultant effects.
