Broken tooth might not be the first thing you’ll be worried about on a daily basis but I feel everyone should know 1 or 2 facts of what to do if that happens! Social media will show you about CPR, how to fix a broken…
When a dental cavity is left untreated or unnoticed, it can progress to the deeper parts of the tooth and reach the pulp (where the blood vessels and nerves are). Since a cavity is full of bacteria, the pulp gets infected and inflamed, causing a…
Dental crowns are caps placed on top of damaged teeth. Crowns are used to protect, cover and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings don’t solve the problem.
You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:
Ms E came to our clinic requesting for a crown on her upper front tooth which has been root canal treated many years ago. She did not like how it looked due to discolouration and stained filling.
At the same time, she informed us that she feels nervous whenever she visited the dentist due to her past experiences. To calm Ms E, I reassured her that the procedure will be painless.
Upon examination, it was noted there were also discoloured fillings on her other teeth. I suggested that we get them replaced so that they would match the colour of her natural teeth. Ms E agreed.
We started off by replacing the old fillings and subsequently prepared the root canal treated tooth for a crown. A temporary crown was placed while we wait for the lab to make us a permanent crown.
When the permanent crown arrived, we informed Ms E so that she can come and get it placed onto her tooth. Ms E was very happy with the result and she could not differentiate which tooth has been crowned because the crown looked natural and blended very well with her other teeth.
Ms E can now smile confidently again! And most importantly, she is no longer nervous to visit the dental clinic anymore.
