If you have a tooth ache there may be inflammation or infection inside a tooth. A dentist will then need to do RCT. They will clean and fill inside the tooth to prevent further damage or infection. Root canal treatment can save your tooth from having to be taken out.

Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting your child’s teeth as they grow. They are a plastic coating that is applied to the biting surface of the back teeth. The sealant forms a hard shield that prevents bacteria and food getting into the tiny cracks and helps prevent decay. 

The process is usually quick and straightforward, taking only a few minutes for each tooth. The tooth is thoroughly cleaned, prepared with a special solution, and dried. The liquid sealant is then applied and allowed to set hard using a bright light. 

A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’.

Bridges are a great solution to fill spaces left by missing teeth. They are known as permanent restorations that can replace one or multiple missing teeth.

A bridge will use the teeth either side of the gap to anchor onto. It will only be possible if the teeth supporting the bridge are strong enough and if they have good bone support. The teeth either side of the gap are prepared, crowns are placed over the prepared teeth and these are attached to the artificial tooth.
