Playing sport with clear aligners: mouthguards, contact sport and keeping to wear time

An aligner is not a mouthguard. Dr James Tran explains when the tray comes out for contact sport, which mouthguard fits while teeth are moving, and how to keep to 22 hours a day on match days.

Can you whiten your teeth with a tooth infection, an abscess or a tooth that needs a root canal?

Whitening gel reaches the pulp, so an infected or abscessed tooth is treated first and whitened about two weeks after the root canal is sealed. Dr James Tran explains the order and why it matters.

Drinks coming out of your nose after an upper tooth extraction

Why drinks or air can pass from an upper extraction socket into the nose, how often the sinus opens, what to avoid while it heals and when to call.

What to expect in a dental emergency

Call us and we will get you in as soon as we can, often the same day. Tell us what is happening and we will give you advice to manage things until you arrive.

When you get here, our first priority is to relieve your pain and settle the immediate problem. We explain what is going on before we do anything.

Once you are comfortable, we talk through what caused the problem and your options for fixing it properly, so it is less likely to happen again.
