With modern anaesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment is generally a pain free procedure. However it is likely that the patient will get some post-operative discomfort after the anaesthetic has worn off. In the vastmajority of cases this can be controlled with regular over the counter pain relief such as ibuprofen and paracetamol.

You may have visited the dental practitioner if you had symptoms of a pulp infection such as:

• Pain when eating or drinking hot or cold food or drink
• Pain when biting or chewing
• A loose tooth
• Swelling of the gum near the infected tooth
• Pus oozing from around the infected tooth
• Facial swelling
• The tooth getting darker in colour.

An x-ray of your tooth may show the cause of pain or infection. Antibiotics are not effective in treating root canal infections. The two treatment options are removing the tooth or having a root canal treatment.

Dental CBCT is a special type of x-ray equipment used when regular dental  x-rays are not sufficient. Your dentist may use this technology to produce three dimensional (3-D) images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways and bone in a single scan.

General dentists refer to orthodontists complex cases and patients that are still growing. Such cases need a specialist orthodontist. Orthodontists require additional education and training before they’re able to call themselves a specialist. While some orthodontists still practice general dentistry, most focus solely on their specialty.

Botox^® is a purified protein which when injected into a muscle leads to a temporary muscular relaxation. Frown lines, forehead, and laughter lines are all caused by the repeated contractions of facial muscles: relaxing these muscles with Botox injections is a quick, safe and effective way to smooth and soften wrinkles.

Dermal Fillers, like Teosyal^®, are modern medical gels designed to fill out and smooth away lines, wrinkles and folds, and to add volume to lips. This is an excellent treatment for nasal furrows, smile lines, lip enhancement and facial contouring.

The main component of Teosyal^® fillers is hyaluronic acid, a biosynthesized version of one of the body’s own natural substances. The amount of hyaluronic acid produced by the body decreases significantly as we age; as a result, the skin becomes dryer, thinner and less supple, rendering it increasingly prone to wrinkling. Injecting fillers into skin not only adds volume where the body’s own hyaluronic acid has been depleted, but also draws water into the area improving skin hydration and elasticity.
