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

What Our Patients Say About Us


  • I am a new patient to the dental practice. Made to feel welcome, staff all friendly and guided me through all the processes. Felt very comfortable with all aspects. The dental practice looked very clean and modern. Definitely pleased I chose this dental practice as my ongoing dental treatment. I followed up with a visit to the hygienist, Terri. Took me through full procedure. No pain encountered. Explained benefits of brushing and provided dental appliances to assist. Mary took x rays. Again all perfect here. Now I've got my homework to do before my next visit in dental hygiene. Can't fault the dental practice.

  • After my first visit today I can only say how pleased I am to have chosen El Nashar for my dental care. The staff who greeted me in reception were very welcoming and helpful and Chris was very thorough with my initial examination and explained everything in great detail to me. I really feel that I’m going to be very well looked after here and I’m looking forward to my next visit now to see the hygienist. Update…..I’ve now seen Terri my hygienist and she was amazing! Made me feel very relaxed and welcome. She explained my oral health results to me in great detail, answered any questions I had and informed me of how I can improve my oral hygiene myself with cleaning methods etc. I can’t rate my experience with Terri highly enough and I’m confident that I’m in the most competent and able hands with her for the coming years! Many thanks again to Terri and all the lovely staff at the practice.
