    Happy Gas

    Also know as "Laughing Gas", or by its correct term "Nitrous oxide sedation", happy gas is a safe and modern way of alleviating anxiety while having dental treatment performed. A small mask is placed over your nose and you breathe in the soothing gas and start to feel relaxed. It is not uncommon to get the giggles as you become more at-ease. The effects of happy gas are mild and you’ll remain awake while inhaling. You will not lose control and will still be able to ask questions and communicate with your dentist. Happy gas has a very short recovery time very few side effects.

  • Toothache / Lost filling / Broken tooth

     

     

    What should I do in an event of a dental emergency?
    Please call the practice immediately so that we can arrange an appointment as quickly and conveniently as possible for you.

    What should I do to cure a toothache?
    If you are suffering from a painful toothache, something is wrong that requires attention. Contact us immediately to organize an appointment as quickly and conveniently as possible for you. Painkillers such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol are recommended; do not exceed the maximum dose.

     

    What should I do if I have a swelling?
    Swellings are caused by an infection. Contact us immediately to receive treatment or antibiotics.

     

    What should I do if I have fractured my tooth?
    Fractured teeth can usually be restored so there is no need to panic. If the tooth is painful, avoid hot or cold and avoid eating or biting on that side i.e. relieve the tooth from extremes of temperature and pressure. Painkillers such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol may help. Pain-free treatment is usually available by contacting us quickly.

     

    What if I have lost a crown?
    Keep your crown safe so it can be re-cemented as soon as possible to avoid damage or the need for root canal treatment. Contact us immediately.

     

    What if I have knocked a tooth out?

    • The tooth needs to be re-implanted into its socket immediately.
    • Try not to handle the tooth root to protect the fibres around the root surface.
    • If possible, place the tooth back into the socket and splint in place with silver paper.
    • DO NOT place the tooth in water.
    • DO place the tooth in cold milk or on one side of your mouth between your teeth and cheeks
    • Contact us immediately

    What if I have broken my denture?
    Broken dentures can usually be repaired relatively easily, often on the same day. Please resist the temptation to glue them together yourself as this often makes a repair very difficult. Contact us to organise the repair to minimize any problems.

  • Your first dental appointment

    Your dental check-up/examination:

    The first people you will meet will be our friendly reception staff, who will ask you to complete a medical form.

    Our dentist needs to be aware of your general state of health as this can often impact upon the condition of your teeth and gums and may effect medication such as anaesthetics and antibiotics we may use for you.

    At your consultation you will have the opportunity to discuss any dental concerns you may have or how you would like your teeth improved.

    Your dentist will give you a full oral assessment to help accurately plan which treatments would be best for the health of your mouth. During this examination we will be looking at -

    • Teeth and the way you bite
    • Original restorations  – Filling, crowns, veneers etc
    • The health of your gums and surrounding bone around each tooth
    • Your tongue, throat, cheeks & lips for signs of oral cancer
    • Jaw joint evaluation

    Dental X-rays will also be taken of your teeth to check for -

    • Decay inside the tooth or between the teeth.
    • Abscess or cysts on the roots of your teeth.
    • Root positions
    • Bone loss

    Once the examination is complete the dentist will discuss the findings with you.

    We will then create a treatment plan with alternative options for you, including all the benefits and risks of each procedure and the costings. This will allow you to decide what is best for your long term dental health.
