If you suffer from tooth sensitivity, a simple solution is to rub sensitive toothpaste all around the area with your fingertip after brushing and flossing your teeth. Please remember not to rinse with water afterwards and allow the sensitive toothpaste to remain in place for the entire night. After 10-14 days, the sensitivity may well have disappeared. If the sensitivity remains or gets worse, then there may be an underlying problem that your dentist will be able to detect. It is important to see your dentist as soon as possible to ensure that any underlying problem is diagnosed early. 

We recommend very specific pastes for tooth sensitivity, please call us and we will advise you personally.

Missing teeth can be an embarrassing and unsightly issue, especially at the front of the mouth. There are a number of options to replacing the space including a dental bridge.

A bridge is where the adajcent teeth are used to anchor the missing tooth. This may be an excellent option if the adjacent teeth require treatment with dental crowns to protect them or already have successful crowns which could be converted to a bridge.

The following case study demonstrates this exact scenario. A front tooth was lost due to gum disease which left a major cosmetic issue. After careful planning, a dental bridge was provided as an ideal solution to a tricky problem. Below are the before and after photographs.
 

A report has revealed that nearly half of five year olds in Fulham and Hammersmith have tooth decay. The report, which was released by the Children's Oral Health Task Group, showed that 45 percent of five year olds in the borough have decay, a figure which is significantly higher than the London average, which currently stands at 33 percent. Nadeev Pooni, from the Central London NHS Trust, said that it is very important that parents take responsibility for their children's oral health and encourage them to adopt good habits from a very early age.

The Children's Oral Health Taskforce is a new group, which was formed with the aim of identifying and addressing causes of poor oral health. The report made a number of recommendations to try and improve standards of oral health among children, which included campaigning for a consultation on adding fluoride to the water supplies in the area. The most important method of prevention is to ensure regular dental examinations and hygiene treatment. Diet is also crucial and try to avoid sugary snacks and drinks during the day. It is best to keep these treats at mealtimes only. Children of registered parents are seen for an initial consultation free of charge. 

We provide only the best treatment and materials for children. We do not use amalgam metal fillings and have a very strong emphasis on prevention of disease.
