1.What is a Dental Filling? Is way to restore a tooth by removing the decay and cleaning the affected area. The cleaned out cavity will then be filled.2.How do I know if I need a filling? Your dentist can advise you if you have a cavity that needs to be filled. 3.How will I feel afterwards? Some people feel sensitivity after they get a filling. Tooth may be sensitive to pressure, air and temperature. This usually lasts only for a few days.  4.What happens if you don’t treat a cavity? With time these harmful bacteria will create a little hole in the tooth, if it’s not repaired with a filling in time, the cavity will simply continue to grow. Overtime it becomes painful in which case a Root Canal Treatment is needed to save the tooth. 5.How much does a dental filling cost? Filling prices vary due to a few factors: depends on which teeth needs to be filled depends on how deep the teeth decay is?

Our dentists can perform root canal treatment to stop the infection from spreading and will preserve as much of your tooth as possible. Using specific techniques and advanced equipment, you will receive a local anaesthetic and the treatment overall should feel no different to having an ordinary filling placed. The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection. A temporary filling is put in and the tooth is left to settle.The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled. Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure and most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits.  To keep your mouth in tip top shape we recommend you come in for regular hygiene appointments and dental check-ups. Is it painful?Today root canal treatment is as comfortable as getting a filling. With advanced local anaesthesia options and techniques it shouldn’t be painful.  Although pain can be experienced, this is because of the infection in the tooth. Pain isn’t caused by the root canal treatment. I’m not feeling any pain, so I don’t need a root canal treatment.Your dentist will see and advise you if the pulp of your teeth is damaged or infected. If this is the case you will need root canal treatment. You may end up with the teeth needed to be extracted.

Laser Teeth Whitening is the most usual method of tooth whitening. Your dentist will be able to tell you if you are suitable for the treatment. Using a mouthpiece all of your teeth would be exposed to make it easier for the gel and light to work. After this a whitening gel will be applied to your teeth. Then a light or laser is shone on the teeth to activate the chemical. The light speeds up the reaction of the whitening product and the colour change can be achieved more quickly.
