It’s very common for patients to tell us that a new filling doesn’t quite feel right in the days after treatment. Some describe it as feeling high, tight, or ‘compacted’ when they bite together. Understandably, this can feel worrying - especially if the tooth was comfortable before.
As Principal Dentist of tooth in Waterloo, I want to reassure you that this sensation is usually temporary, and in most cases, settles naturally as your mouth adjusts.
The start of a new year often brings a renewed focus on health and wellbeing. Many of us set intentions to feel better, look after ourselves, and address things we’ve been meaning to for a while. From a dental point of view, the New Year is an ideal opportunity to reset habits and prioritise your oral health.
For many people, visiting the dentist can bring a sense of anxiety, and at tooth, we understand that completely. Dental phobia is far more common than most people realise, and it often stems from previous negative experiences, fear of pain, or simply feeling out of control in an unfamiliar environment. At tooth, we’ve worked hard to create a calm, open and reassuring experience for every patient, especially those who feel nervous.
Modern dentistry has changed more in the last decade than in the previous fifty years. At tooth, we’ve invested heavily in advanced digital technology to ensure your care is more comfortable, more accurate, and more predictable than ever before.
If you’ve ever wondered how new tools such as 3D scanners, CBCT scans, or OPG imaging improve your visit, this blog will walk you through exactly what they mean for your dental experience.
