Here’s a little story for you –

A patient visited our clinic wanting a check and clean, and to start their teeth whitening journey. The patient also let us know they hadn’t been to the dentist for 10+ years and this made Dr Tony ask, “what motivates you to see us today?”. As the discussion unfolded, we learnt that this patient was due to get married at the end of the year and wanted to have a beautiful smile for the wedding ceremony!

We performed a comprehensive examination and found a very deep cavity in a molar tooth. Fortunately no other major issues were found besides a few spots requiring better oral hygiene.

Since the cavity was found before it turned into a raging toothache, our patient had time to plan for their treatment and avoided the loss of tooth (or high expense of complex root canal therapy!).

This could have easily turned into a nightmare for our patient having to make wedding arrangements while suffering bad dental pain.

This patient is one of many that visited a dentist in a timely manner and saved themselves pain, money and other health problems down the track!

The moral of this story- listen to your body: a sensitive tooth needs checking! (also get regular dental check-ups!)
