FAQ

What is an abscessed tooth?

An abscess of the tooth is an infection. An abscess can include pus and swelling of the soft gum tissues surrounding the tooth. An abscess can develop from tooth decay or tooth trauma, such as a broken tooth. If there is an opening in the enamel of a tooth, such as a cavity, bacteria can get in and infect the pulp (centre) of the tooth and cause an abscess. Once an abscess happens, the infection could spread throughout the mouth and body. If you suspect that you have an abscessed tooth, you should see Aoife and Niall right away.

Which toothbrush is better, manual or electric?

The most important thing to consider when deciding which toothbrush to buy is which one you will actually use. Both electric and manual toothbrushes have some pros and cons, but both will be useless if not used. The Irish Dental Association recommend that you brush your teeth twice a day for 2 minutes. After that it is personal preference as to whether you use a manual or electric.

What is tooth sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity means experiencing pain or discomfort to your teeth from cold air, hot drinks, cold drinks, ice cream, sweet things or even when brushing or flossing. Several factors can contribute to tooth sensitivity including cavities, a fractured tooth or worn enamel. As a rule these can all be treated easily. One of the main reasons can be gum recession where the gum has been worn away and the root surface has been exposed. The enamel on the root surface is thinner and temperature changes are felt more by the nerve. Sensodyne toothpaste can help relieve some of the sensitivity over a period of time. Come in and discuss options with Niall and Aoife.

What is a root canal?

A Root Canal is a dental procedure to fix a tooth by removing the pulp chamber of the tooth (not the roots of the tooth) and filling it with a suitable filling material. A root canal is usually performed when the tooth cannot be filled or restored any other way because the decay has reached the nerve of the tooth or the tooth has become infected. Today, with modern technology and better anaesthetics, root canal treatments are no more painful than having a filling. Most root canals can be performed in two surgery visits. It is important to remember that after a root canal treatment you will need to make a follow up appointment with your dentist to have the tooth permanently restored. After the pulp of the tooth has been removed, the tooth can become very dry and brittle. Having a permanent restoration placed will help protect your tooth from fracturing.
