GENERAL DENTISTRY
Temporomandibular Joint Pain
Symptoms of a TMJ disorder may include limited jaw movement, clicking noises from the jaw joints, pain when chewing, yawning or opening the jaw widely, headaches and/or migraines, earaches, clenching, grinding. Face, neck, back and shoulder pain as well as muscle spasms and toothache. An accurate diagnosis is important to ensure that the right treatment is undertaken.
Root Canal
Root canals are usually done when decay has extended into a tooth towards the blood vessels and nerves (pulp) that supply the tooth with nutrition and sensation. Once this happens, one may complain of pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, difficulty chewing or eating on that side and sometimes spontaneous pain that keeps you up all night.
Inlays & Onlays
Where more tooth structure is broken or decayed, a white filling may no longer be suitable to restore the tooth. In this case ceramic porcelain is used to fill bigger areas and to repair moderately damaged back teeth.

Preventative Care
Prevention of dental problems is our first and most fundamental belief at Central Dental. A routine 6 monthly dental examination is essential to prevent dental decay and tooth ache, which can eventually lead to root canals and extractions if not addressed.
Paediatric Dentistry
At Central Dental introducing your child to oral health care practices and procedures need not be a scary event. Our paediatric check-ups and treatments are designed to be anything but intimidating – your children will enjoy visiting us.
Teeth Fillings
White composite fillings are made of plastic material mixed with small glass particles and are tooth coloured, rather than silver. They are suitable for repairing both the front and the back teeth.
Sensitive Teeth Solutions
Tooth sensitivity or otherwise known as dentin hypersensitivity refers to when one experiences pain or discomfort in their teeth due to being exposed to hot or cold temperatures. Many people are victims of tooth sensitivity, especially with hot or cold stimulus; however, it could also be a cavity sign.
Gum Disease
Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the gums and jaw bone. It’s typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) to build up on the teeth and harden. In advanced stages, periodontal disease can lead to sore, swollen and bleeding gums, painful chewing problems and even tooth loss.
Teeth Extractions
Our motto is always to save teeth first as there is nothing better than a healthy tooth. However, when there is extensive decay, trauma or fracture to a tooth, your dentist may advise you to extract it.
