London dentist promotes that you should know what to do in the event that you or your child chips a tooth or teeth or knocks a tooth or teeth out. First and foremost, you should have the telephone number of your London dentist available to you at all times. Write the number in your address book, keep it in your wallet or purse, or place it on your refrigerator; as timing counts in these situations. Especially for knocked-out or severely damaged teeth, as these teeth begin to die immediately. We can’t over-emphasize enough that immediate emergency dental care needs to be received.
A chipped tooth is for the most part a common and straightforward treatable problem for your dentist. However, in the event that your child chips or knocks-out their tooth or teeth, the following instructions should be followed:
(1) For a chipped tooth, try to find the parts of the tooth that were lost;
(2) For a tooth that has been knocked-out in an accident or by trauma, find the tooth and do not touch the root portion if possible (handle it by the crown portion of the tooth). Do not clean the tooth, and if you can, place the tooth back into the socket. If you cannot place the tooth back into the socket, either place it in a cup of milk or water (if no milk is available). You can also place it into your mouth between the cheek and jaw bone area.
(3) For orthodontic braces that become damaged, you should make sure the wires and/or brackets are not sticking out. If there is anything sharp that can injure your child, cover it with sponge gauze or orthodontic wax.
Tooth/teeth injuries can occur when either the tooth itself is injured, or the adjacent soft tissues and/or pulp are injured. Although signs of injury are not overtly visible all the time, you may notice the tooth changing colour over time. It is important that you visit your dentist as soon as possible, as the tooth is most likely in danger. If your child plays sports, invest in a mouth guard. Custom-fitted mouthguards can be made at your London’s dental office!

Dental bonding is a procedure used for cosmetic enhancement and the repair of structural imperfections in the teeth. It is also known as composite or tooth bonding. It utilizes a composite resin consisting of glass and porcelain particles that are fused into a liquid plastic which is then matched according to the colour of the patient’s teeth. It can be used in a wide array of situations. It can repair chipped teeth, cover discoloured teeth, line-up crooked teeth, fill the gap between teeth, replace silver amalgam fillings and repair decayed teeth.
To begin the procedure, the London dentist will select a composite resin that matches the colour of the patient’s teeth. The dentist will roughen the existing tooth in order for the resin to bond properly. The composite is then applied to the tooth, shaped and smoothen until the desired look is achieved. High intensity light is used to quickly harden the composite. It is then buffed and polished to make the bonded tooth to appear the same as the surrounding teeth.
Tooth bonding has several benefits for patients in London. The tooth looks and feels natural. Unlike other procedures such as bridges, veneers or crowns, bonding is very inexpensive and fast. It usually takes a short period of time to complete and can usually be completed in one dental visit. Dental bonding is painless and no anaesthesia is needed in most cases since it does not involve any surgery or drilling.
Although dental bonding has several advantages, it is only a temporary replacement. Its quality is not the same as that of bridges, veneers, crowns and other forms of filling. That’s why bonded teeth are more prone to chip, break or stain. The patient should therefore first weigh the pros and cons of dental bonding before undergoing the bonding treatment.
