How do I care for my tooth afterwards?2022-02-06T19:56:50+03:00

Root-treated teeth should be looked after just the same as any other tooth. Remember to clean your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day, with a fluoride toothpaste. Cut down on sugary foods and drinks, and have them only at mealtimes if possible. See your dental team as often as they recommend for regular check-ups.

Will I lose my tooth?2022-02-06T22:36:47+03:00

In some cases the tooth may need to be taken out, but not always. So it is important to get advice as soon as possible.

My teeth are stained, what toothpaste should I use?2022-02-06T21:06:43+03:00

There are toothpastes which can help to remove staining. These are often called ‘whitening’ toothpastes. It is important to realise that these toothpastes can only help you to restore the original shade of your teeth and will not change their natural colour. If you feel you need something stronger to whiten your teeth, talk to your dental team about how this could be done. If you are a smoker, there are special smokers’ toothpastes that will remove the staining that can build up over time.

Do I have an implant for each missing tooth?2022-02-06T21:26:07+03:00

If you have a single tooth missing, you will need an implant to support it. If you have a number of teeth missing, and these are next to each other, you could still have one implant for each tooth. Or you may find that, if you have two or more implants, they may be able to support more than one tooth each. Your dentist will talk to you about the best option for you.
