Missing teeth refer to teeth that are no longer present in the mouth due to different reasons such as decay, injury, or extraction. These gaps can affect the appearance of your smile and your ability to chew and speak properly. Missing teeth can also lead to the shifting of remaining teeth and jawbone loss.
A toothache is a pain or discomfort in or around a tooth. It can be caused by various factors, including tooth decay, infection, gum disease, or injury.
Toothaches can range from mild to severe. It’s important to see a dentist promptly if you have a toothache to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
Crooked teeth refer to teeth that are misaligned or not in the proper position. This can occur due to genetics, early loss of primary teeth, or improper dental habits during childhood.
Crooked teeth may lead to dental issues, such as difficulty in chewing, speech problems, and an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Treatment for crooked teeth may include braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic procedures.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a condition where the gums are inflamed because of some bacteria in plaque. Early stages of gum disease, known as gingivitis, may cause redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become infected.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition where a person clenches or grinds their teeth involuntarily. This can occur during the day or, more commonly, at night during sleep.
Wearing a custom mouthguard can help protect your teeth from the effects of teeth grinding, such as worn tooth enamel, tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, and even damage to dental restorations.
Tooth discolouration can be caused by things like drinking coffee, smoking, or getting older. Sometimes, the inside of the tooth gets darker, too. Our dental team at Kedron Family Dental provides professional cleaning and teeth whitening options to help improve the appearance of teeth where clinically appropriate.
Sleep-disordered breathing refers to breathing abnormalities that happen during sleep. These conditions can lead to fragmented sleep, daytime drowsiness, and other health issues if left untreated. At Kedron Family Dental, we have treatments available for snoring, bruxism and sleep apnoea.
Tooth sensitivity involves experiencing discomfort or pain in one or more teeth when exposed to hot or cold temperatures. It occurs when the underlying dentin layer of the tooth becomes exposed due to factors such as gum recession, enamel erosion, or tooth decay.
It’s important to consult with a dentist to determine the cause of tooth sensitivity and to receive appropriate treatment.
Cracked teeth refer to teeth that have fractures or breaks on the outer layer of the tooth. This can happen because of teeth grinding, biting on hard objects, or trauma to the mouth.
Treatment for cracked teeth depends on the severity of the crack and may include dental bonding, a dental crown, or in severe cases, root canal.
Erosion and tooth wear refer to the gradual loss of tooth enamel. This is caused by acidic foods and drinks, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), or abrasive tooth brushing. Erosion and tooth wear can lead to symptoms such as tooth sensitivity, discolouration, and rough or transparent tooth edges.
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a common oral health concern that may affect some people’s comfort and confidence. It can be associated with factors such as oral hygiene habits, bacteria in the mouth, dry mouth, certain foods, smoking, and some underlying health conditions.
