Onlay

Compared to a crown, an onlay is a less aggressive restoration when one can be performed, as less tooth structure needs to be removed in order to place the onlay. The costs are similar, but an onlay is a little cheaper than a crown. As such, an onlay is actually the preferred restoration when possible.

Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth. Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.

Periodontal pockets

Periodontal pockets are spaces or openings surrounding the teeth under the gum line. These pockets can become filled with infection-causing bacteria. Periodontal pockets are a symptom of periodontitis (gum disease), a serious oral infection.

Dental amalgam

Well, the debate has gone on for decades and up to now there is no conclusive evidence that dental amalgam is in any way harmful to health. However, the use of dental amalgam has recently been banned in the UK in children under 15. In Sweden, the use of mercury was banned in 2009 – that’s TEN years ago.

Why Keep Dentures in Water

Whenever you are not wearing your partial or full dentures, it is important to always keep them submerged in water or denture solution. Otherwise, the acrylic can dry out over time and lose its shape, causing the dentures to become brittle and not fit as well.
