Top tip for emergency dental treatment near Fleet

May 2nd, 2013

Time Dental near Fleet in Hampshire provides top tips for dental emergency abscessWhat can you do when you have a dental emergency in the evening?  There are a number of different types of dental emergencies and not knowing what to do can leave you feeling pretty vulnerable.

A true dental emergency can be caught before getting to a state where it is acutely dangerous to your general health. A dental abscess resulting in a facial swelling, fever and difficulty swallowing is such an emergency.  Normally this condition can take time to build up to a facial swelling so seeing your dentist for your healthy mouth reviews is crucial to prevent this type of situation from occurring.

If it does happen take some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (as long as your medical history allows it) such as Ibuprofen; place a cold compress (ice cubes in tea towel or a bag of frozen peas) to the affected area; and alternate with rinsing the mouth with a warm salty water.  This helps to reduce the swelling and keeps things under control. Immediately contact your dentist for any additional advice or treatment.

Tooth whitening is still as popular as ever.  It very easy and safe to do when carried out using the professional tooth whitening products supplied by your dentist.  There are two main methods:

In-office tooth whitening.  This is where a concentrated tooth whitening gel is placed on the teeth for an hour and can make instant results.  Some gels need light activation. sometimes called “laser” tooth whitening other systems do not need the light and are chemically activated and can achieve the same result.

The other method is professional at-home tooth whitening.  This is where specially made custom fit whitening trays are loaded with a gel and the trays are worn in the mouth for 1 hour.  Some systems require you to wear them over night.  This depends on the type of gel used and the concentration of it.  Your dentist will be able to advise.

Dental Implants by cosmetic dentist near Fleet

November 1st, 2012

Dental Implants are now part of comprehensive dental care.  Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is now becoming common place.

The fixed options for replacing missing teeth are either dental bridges or dental implants.  The advantages of dental implants are that adjacent teeth to the gap do not need to be ground down which is required for a bridge and the dental implants also help to preserve the bone in place.

A patient came to Time Dental near Fleet having broken his front tooth in an accident.  We discussed the options above and he opted for a dental implant.  The dental implant is a titanium root that replaces the root of the missing tooth.  Once it is integrated a tooth is attached to the implant.  Dental implants have a success rate of 98% and can make a huge difference to your dental health as well as cosmetically.

Calm your anxiety at dentist near Fleet

August 16th, 2012

A patient came to see us at Time Dental who was very anxious even for his first comprehensive dental health check.  He described himself as a having a dental phobia and had a bad experience in the past and since then he had been very nervous.

This is a very common reason for dental phobia and anxiety and its easy to see why people become nervous about coming to see the dentist.  In order to help the patient Dr Rashid first discussed with him what the bad experience was.  In this case the patient had felt all the treatment that was being carried out and found the experience very painful.

Dr Rashid listened to the patients concerns and came to an understanding of how and why the patient was feeling nervous.  He then explained that there are different levels of local anaesthetic that can be given and sometimes extra anaesthetic maybe required to ensure complete numbness.  He then talked the patient through very specific breathing exercises that are proven to help reduce anxiety and stress.  These breathing techniques can be applied to many different situations where people can feel stressed and tense.

Dental treatment can be worrying for nervous anxious patients, but with the right advise and care you can still get the best care with reduced stress.
