During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form and the tooth might require removal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ff2e9e59e9d9453011c9c9/1627596125225-1J1T8OR992XBVHLFB5K6/bigstock-X-ray-Of-Teeth-Molar-Tooth-Im-228107533.jpg What We Can Do For You - Surgicals and Orthodontics referrals XMM Dental Group has a number of partners who have the expertise to provide treatment for a wide variety of surgical and orthodontic needs.

Use a smear of fluoride toothpaste on a soft, small-headed toothbrush Brush twice a day, morning and night, for two minutes and brushing last thing at night time before bed is very important Encourage your child to spit the toothpaste out after brushing and not rinse the mouth Hold the brush at 45 degree angle to the gum line and brush gently by moving the brush back and forth in short, tooth-wide strokes Make sure you brush the outer, inner and chewing surfaces of all the teeth in upper and lower jaws Check your child's brush regularly and replace it every three months or soon after the bristles start to wear out -source- The New Zealand Dental Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ff2e9e59e9d9453011c9c9/1630381499826-19GK9L2G0HEJGLTW0OSR/Older+People.jpeg Oral Health Education for the Whānau - Older People Healthy eating, effective home oral care and regular dental visits are the three essential steps to maintain healthy teeth and gums for all age groups. It is important than an older person, just like anyone else, limits the intake of sugary food and drinks, brushes twice daily, and regularly visits the dentist. Tips to keep your mouth healthy Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste Clean between the teeth at least once a day with floss or inter-dental brushes Reduce the intake of sugary food and drinks, ideally limiting them to meal times Keep hydrated with water, especially if you have dry mouth, and chew sugar-free gum if possible If you are a denture wearer, thoroughly clean dentures daily, and soak them overnight in denture cleaner Visit your dentist at least once a year so any problems can be detected early and treated Quit smoking - it's bad for teeth and gums as well as everything else. If in doubt about your mouth, see your dentist. -source- The New Zealand Dental Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ff2e9e59e9d9453011c9c9/1630381007072-L307V1J057Z2Y8081NB1/Baby_brushing_2018_430_285_80.jpeg Oral Health Education for the Whānau - Infants Start brushing as soon as the first baby tooth comes through the gums. Brush twice a day with one brushing at night before your baby goes to bed. Buy a soft, small-headed brush and make sure that you only use a smear of fluoride toothpaste. By having your infant sit or lie on your lap, both facing the same direction, you can get easy access to his or her mouth. -source- The New Zealand Dental Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ff2e9e59e9d9453011c9c9/1630382263441-JULVM6W9I4ZVAZJYZZ4X/Screen+Shot+2021-08-31+at+3.54.39+PM.png Oral Health Education for the Whānau https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ff2e9e59e9d9453011c9c9/1630382112895-2QRS9BHLLL519BDL5TJA/Screen+Shot+2021-08-31+at+3.53.37+PM.png Oral Health Education for the Whānau https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ff2e9e59e9d9453011c9c9/1630382216250-2CC7MOJGY19ZT52D6OSC/Screen+Shot+2021-08-31+at+3.54.12+PM.png Oral Health Education for the Whānau https://www.xmm.net.nz/child-protection-policy daily 0.75 2024-02-25 https://www.xmm.net.nz/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-06-07 https://www.xmm.net.nz/donate daily 0.75 2025-05-09
