Frequently Asked
Questions

Listed below are the most commonly asked questions we receive from our patients.

I have a severe toothache, can I be seen right away?

If you have toothache for several days, visit your dentist immediately to receive prompt attention. The longer you ignore it, the worse it will become.

If your toothache is left untreated, the pulp in your tooth will eventually become infected. This can usually result in a dental abscess, with severe and continuous throbbing pain.

Pain relievers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, may reduce the pain and discomfort while waiting for an appointment. Children below 16 years of age shouldn’t be given aspirin.

I'm pregnant. Should I still visit my dentist?

Getting a check-up while pregnant is safe and essential for your dental well-being.

Not only can you take care of cleanings and procedures like cavity fillings before your baby comes out, but your dentist can help you with any pregnancy-related dental symptoms you might have.

Is it true that bad teeth can lead to bad general health?

Most people know that not brushing your teeth daily can lead to cavities, bad breath and tooth decay.

But recent studies find that poor dental hygiene can also have unexpected health consequences, such as increased risks for Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease.

What causes dental cavities?

Cavities are permanently damaged portions in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings.
They are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth well.

Do you treat children?

Yes! Our dental practice provides dental care to children and young adults.

Children’s dentistry has a wide range of approaches to help a child complete needed dental treatment.

A pediatric dentist makes a recommendation of behaviour guidance methods for the child based upon health history, special health care needs, dental needs, type of treatment required, the consequences of no treatment, emotional and intellectual development, and parental preferences.

What are your tooth replacement options?

Implant dentistry offers a great option for tooth replacements – dental implants!
Dental implants are metal posts, usually made of titanium, surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw as a replacement of the missing tooth root. The implants become sturdy anchors for one or more replacement teeth.

Another option is dentures. Dentures are custom-made appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and oral functions.

There are two kinds of dentures – full and partial dentures. A full denture is used when all of the person’s teeth are gone, and a partial denture is used when there are still teeth left.

How can I prevent cavities?

Good oral hygiene can help you prevent cavities. Here are some tips to help you avoid developing cavities. Ask your dentist which tips are best for you.

Brush with fluoride toothpaste soon after eating or drinking
Rinse your mouth
Visit your dentist regularly
Consider dental sealants
Drink some tap water
Avoid frequent snacking and sipping
Eat tooth-healthy foods
Consider fluoride treatments
Ask about antibacterial treatments
Combined treatments

Are denture repair kits safe?

We firmly discourage using denture repair kits. If you see breakage on your dentures, no matter how small, call and go to your dentist.
Denture repair needs the skills and knowledge of a dentist. Fixing the damage yourself by using denture repair kits can only cause further damage, which may make it more difficult for your dentist to fix.
