Tooth Decay

What is Tooth decay?

Tooth decay begins with a small patch of softened enamel at the tooth’s surface, often hidden from sight in the fissures or between the teeth. It can spread into the dentine (the softer, sensitive part of the tooth beneath the enamel). The weakened enamel then collapses to form a cavity and the tooth is progressively destroyed.

It is vital to detect decay in the early stages so we can treat the problem and prevent further damage to the tooth and surrounding tissues. If left undetected and untreated, the decay can lead to serious problems that require extensive and costly treatments.


Advice

We recommend the following steps for looking after your teeth, particularly if you have dental decay:

  • Brush twice a day for at least two minutes, just before bed and one other time of day
  • Ideally using a powered rechargeable toothbrush with a round head
  • For adults toothpaste should contain fluoride levels of 1350-1450 PPM
  • Do not rinse out toothpaste after brushing to retain correct fluoride levels
  • Reduce the number of times you have sugar, fruit juice and fizzy drinks
  • Attend dental check-ups and dental hygienist visits as often as your dentist suggests

  • I have nothing but praise for the El Nashar Dental practice. The whole team are very professional and friendly. Jo has done a fair amount of work over the years for me, and everything has been to an excellent standard. She takes a long term approach to my dental needs and I have full confidence in her work. As an anxious patient, Jo and her assistant, Mary are both also really caring and empathetic which is really important to me as I find any dental procedures quite stressful! Thank you.

  • I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful dental practice. The staff are efficient, reassuring and highly skilled and the treatment I have received over many years has always been exemplary. Recently I had to have more complicated treatment which evolved a tricky extraction. Whilst I have never been nervous about dental procedures I was a bit anxious about this. I was signposted to the sedation process, which was absolutely wonderful. For any nervous patient they can be guaranteed a relaxed treatment with absolutely no discomfort or anxiety. I feel so fortunate to have been treated by these marvellous professionals who have also helped to ensure that I still have my own teeth at the age of 76! Many many thanks to you all
