The torture of toothache

Isn’t toothache the worst? I’m pretty sure that if you’ve ever experienced this excruciating pain you’ll agree with me. According to NHS Choices, toothache becomes present when the dental pulp inside of a tooth becomes inflamed, which can cause severe pain, often resulting in the sufferer needing to visit an emergency dentist. Buckinghamshire dentist, Dr Makhani, of Garden View Dental Care, advises his patients to contact their clinic as soon as possible if they need an emergency appointment, and they will try their best to accommodate them if an appointment is available. Many dentists understand and sympathise with the pain caused by toothache, and are available to help if toothache should occur.They do however strongly encourage people to take preventative measures,such as brushing twice per day, flossing, and avoiding sugary drinks.

The fear of dentists

Colgate Oral Care Centre says that a high amount of people possess a phobia of going to visit their dentist. One of the main reasons for this, is the fear of receiving an injection. The fear of needles is a common phobia, which can often be to the detriment of effective oral care, and minor tooth treatments. If someone experiences minor toothache, or has a crack, hole or chip in their tooth they should visit the dentist as soon as they can,to enable the problem to be treated in the early stages. However, the fear of receiving an injection often deters people from seeking initial dental treatment,which can then make the problem escalate, causing severe toothache and requiring a trip to the emergency dentist. Buckinghamshire clinic, Garden View Dental Care, offer a solution to this with their painless wand injections designed especially for nervous patients. The wand is an alternative to a needle and is used to administer anaesthesia to patients. It’s pain free, and as an additional benefit, will not numb the cheek, tongue or face. The use of the wand at the Garden View Dental Centre, will undoubtedly be greatly appreciated by its current and future nervous patients, and could encourage people to seek dental treatment when they initially notice a problem, hopefully decreasing the demand for an emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire.

Smiles all round with dental care at Garden View

We all hope to avoid dental disease. Daily brushing and flossing is a great first step but unfortunately isn’t enough.

Braces aren’t just for kids

Do you remember being at school and seeing at least half a dozen kids running around the playground wearing colourful or jewelled braces? Well it turns out that adults are doing the same thing… well… not exactly, but Sumathi Reddi of The Wall Street Journal says that more and more adults each year are opting for braces over other procedures to straighten teeth, close gaps, and correct their bite. Rather than the blingy braces we’re used to seeing, adults are going for a more understated look with porcelain or clear braces. Buckinghamshire dental practice, Garden View Dental Care recommends clear braces to their adult patients, as they’re often considerably cheaper than some other teeth straightening methods, so don’t be surprised if you notice an abundance of men and women sporting braces around Buckinghamshire! Clear braces however are designed to be discreet, so it’s highly unlikely that you would ever notice.

Are celebrities making braces cool?

Outside of the county of Buckinghamshire, clear braces have been spotted on the red carpet! That’s right, Hollywood! According to Fashion magazine Elle, celebrities have been wearing clear braces for years (how didn’t we notice? Oh wait…) Faith Hill wore braces during the 2013 Grammy Awards at the grand old age of 45, and older still, Fay Dunaway at 61 isn’t afraid to wear braces either. Ever wondered how Tom cruise maintains that celebrity smile with those perfectly straight pearly whites? You guessed it, clear braces. Buckinghamshire dental clinic, Garden View Dental Care, offer a package called ‘Six Month Smiles’. This involves patients wearing clear braces for just six months on average. The clinic is an advocate of these braces, as they’re shown to give some of the most conservative and predictable results, with prices starting from just £1900. To complete the look, the ‘Six Month Smiles’ package includes a whitening kit to use after the removal of the clear braces. Buckinghamshire patient Louis Dodd highly recommends the ‘Six Month Smile’ treatment he received from his dentist Dr Makhani at Garden View Dental, stating that he is “very happy with the results and it was completed within the estimated timeframe.”

Try clear braces for adults to help you achieve that perfect smile!

See an emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire when you have a tooth abscess

At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, emergency dentists will see you on the same day as you call if you have a suspected tooth abscess.

What is an abscessed tooth?

An abscessed tooth is a painful infection at the root or between the gum and a tooth. It’s most commonly caused by severe tooth decay. But if you visit, the emergency dentist may find other causes, such a broken or chipped tooth,gingivitis or gum disease.

These problems can cause openings in the tooth enamel, which canallow bacteria to infect the centre of the tooth (called the pulp). The infection may also spread from the root to the bones supporting the tooth.

How do I know if I should visit the emergency dentist?

There are several symptoms that indicate an abscessed tooth and require a visit to the emergency dentist. These include: a severe, continuous toothache, resulting in gnawing or throbbing pain or sharp or shooting pain; fever, pain when chewing, sensitivity of the teeth to hot or cold, a bitter taste in the mouth; foul smelling breath; swollen neck glands; general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling; red and swollen gums; a swollen area on the upper or lower jaw; and an open, draining sore on the side of the gum.

It is important to see the Buckinghamshire emergency dentist even if the pain subsides. This is because the pulp in the root of the tooth may have died as a result of infection. However, this doesn’t mean the infection has healed; the infection remains active and continues to spread and destroy tissue. Therefore, if you experience any of the above listed symptoms, it is important to see an emergency dentist.

What treatment will I receive from the emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire?

The emergency dentist may drain the abscess through the tooth by a procedure known as root canal therapy. Root surgery may also be recommended to remove any diseased root tissue after the infection has subsided. Then, a crown may be placed over the tooth.

The tooth may also be extracted, allowing drainage through the socket.Finally, the emergency dentist may drain the abscess by incision into the gum tissue.

A fast, gentle system to obtain the smile you have been waiting for

In Buckinghamshire, Six Month Smiles is a system of clear braces specially designed to give adults as well as teenagers the chance of a bright smile of straighter teeth in a period of four to nine months. At Garden View Dental Care in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Six Months Smiles is our preferred clear braces system.

Why Six Month Smiles?

Garden View has chosen to offer this system because we want our patients to have the most effective aspects of braces treatment, with a modern use of materials that fits with their lifestyle.

Six Month Smiles has replaced the use of metal with clear wires and tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your teeth. Six Month Smiles gently moves your teeth using light forces into their new position. Not only is the cost is usually less than traditional braces, but the experience is usually more comfortable because, although Six Month Smiles uses standardised mechanics, the emphasis is on the appearance of your teeth rather than the position of your bite.

Not only that but Six Month Smiles is a lower risk system because the forces used with the braces are lighter and fewer teeth are extracted. This means there is a lower chance of root damage.

Sounds great. What happens when the treatment is over?

As with all braces systems, you will have to wear a retainer to make sure that your teeth stay in their new position. This retainer is removable. If you do not want to wear a retainer after your Six Month Smiles braces have been removed, there is the option to have a bonded retainer fitted. This is also invisible.

How important is the dentist in your life?

Your dentist may be of relatively low importance to your life day to day but this can change very quickly if you have a problem with your teeth.

The best way to get out ahead of any difficulties is to keep up to date with your regular appointments. The dentist can often spot issues before they become too serious and use their skills to prevent that happening. If you have a minor concern, it is best to get it seen to as quickly as possible as your teeth can deteriorate quite quickly

dentist-in-Beaconsfield When you visit the dentist in Beaconsfield at Garden View, we hope that you will find the experience calm and professional so that you will feel more inclined to visit in the future. You may even wish to consider the luxury of a cosmetic treatment with us.

Choosing a practitioner

At Garden View, we take a holistic view of the patient experience. While the nuts and bolts of the treatment itself are very important, we also pay attention to the less tangible details. Feeling welcome and relaxed in our environment helps the procedure to go well. The happier you feel, the more likely you are to ask the questions you want to and give us the information we need to best serve you.

When you are looking for a dentist in Beaconsfield, we know that we can offer you excellence in all the areas that are important. All our practitioners will be happy to talk you through our general treatment process as well as give you clear specifics when the time is right.

Things to look out for

Caring for your braces in Beaconsfield

At Garden View Dental Care in Beaconsfield, braces are one treatment we love to use, because we know that at the end of your time wearing braces you will be so much more happy and confident about your smile. We use the Six Month Smiles clear braces system, which means that you can be more confident about your mouth when you go out. Our braces use clear or tooth-coloured wires instead of metal and these are barely visible.

This sounds great. Are they hard to take care of?

Braces must be treated with a certain amount of respect, and mouths can take a lot of wear and tear during normal daily living. You may need to curtail or alter some activities when you are wearing your braces in Beaconsfield (and everywhere else too!) Here are some suggestions for taking care of your braces: Certain foods should be avoided as they can break or loosen your braces. These foods include hard or tough-to-bite foods such as apples or crusty bread; chewy foods such as toffee and caramels; corn on the cob; hard, crunchy foods such as nuts, carrots, and popcorn. It is also not advisable to chew ice or chewing gum as these can break or stick to your braces.

I like playing sports. Will that affect my braces?

You can continue to participate in any sport if you have braces. When playing sports where there is a possibility of getting hit in the mouth, you’ll need to wear a specially designed mouth-guard. The mouth-guard, made of durable plastic, is designed to fit comfortably over braces and will protect the soft tissues inside your mouth.

How do I find out if braces are right for me?

If you are an adult (15 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth and you’re not looking for a major alteration to your bite, this could be the solution for you! Most adults are candidates for Six Month Smiles braces.

How do I contact you?

To find out more about braces in Beaconsfield, contact Garden View on 01464 674857, or email us at info@garden-view.co.uk. We would love to help you have the smile you have always wanted.
