It is very easy to fall off the wagon and ignore your oral hygiene in an effervescent party-place like central Leeds- at least you’re having fun eh? But if you continue to do this and don’t look after your teeth and gums properly, they will bite back at you in the form of tooth decay. This will start by your teeth becoming sensitive and painful to the touch- get in now and a filling will suffice; leave it and the acids will break through the enamel and poison the inside of your teeth. If this happens, you will need root canal treatment to clear out the rotten rubbish inside your tooth, and the very mention of this procedure can conjure up horrible images for some people. It involves the dentist removing first the pulp and then the roots so that the tooth is completely free of all the infected matter within. Once this is done, then the tooth can be refilled, crowned and ultimately saved. Now in the past this was a spiteful and nasty little operation done with drills and possibly scalpels if the roots were complex, but fear ye not folks. Laser surgery has taken over from the drills and scalpels and the whole process can be done quickly and painlessly these days…but here’s the thing- try to look after your teeth in the future and avoid this procedure in the first place!
