Help, I’ve got bad teeth

People often feel that they have ‘bad teeth’, if this is you, we’ve put together the following information to help you understand a little more about what can be done to help.

Can ‘bad teeth’ be saved?

If you have a tooth that is causing you pain, you may be wondering if your tooth can be saved, or if having it removed is your only option. This will depend on the reason that the tooth is causing you pain. Often the tooth can be saved by your dentist, who may prescribe a filling, root canal treatment, or a course of antibiotics, the treatment will depend on the specific problem that tooth has.

What causes bad teeth in adults?

Cavities, which are as a result of decay or caries in your teeth, are permanently damaged areas of the hard surface of your teeth. These can become tiny openings or holes. These can be caused by a number of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth regularly.

How do you fixed decayed teeth?

There are a number of options available to restore fixed teeth, your dentist will advise you which options are most suitable depending on your specific situation. They may suggest a filling, a crown (also known as a cap) or root canal treatment.

If you have any concerns about your teeth or gums, please call Evolve Dentistry in Portishead on 01275 842 550. We’d be happy to see you as a new patient, where we will carry out a full check of your oral health and discuss any concerns or issues that you may be experiencing.

How do you know if you grind your teeth?

Teeth grinding often happens without you realising — especially at night. In this video, Maggie explains some of the common signs to look out for, including:
• Jaw pain or soreness
• Frequent headaches
• Worn or flattened teeth

She also explains how your dentist can check for signs of grinding and, if needed, provide a mouthguard to help protect your teeth.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you might be grinding your teeth, this quick video is a great place to start 👇

Can mouthwash replace brushing?

In this short video, Carol explains why brushing for two minutes, twice a day is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy — and why mouthwash should not be seen as a replacement.

She also talks about:
• When mouthwash may be appropriate
• Why mouthwash should only be used if directed by a dentist or hygienist

Simple habits, done properly, make the biggest difference.
