If you have ever suffered from a toothache, it is a pain that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Often, all the painkillers in the world can’t relieve it. A toothache is something that you shouldn’t have to put up with and at Pakenham Dental we place a priority on patients that are in pain from a toothache.
Thankfully, modern dentistry has made it so that we can often successfully treat a toothache without having to lose our tooth. In order to work out what is causing the toothache, we often need to take x-rays and test the teeth to help us determine what is causing the problem. Once we work out the problem, we can then offer solutions to treat a toothache.
Rest assured, at Pakenham Dental Care, your comfort is our priority. Call our friendly staff today.

Most of us do not have enough room in our mouths to accommodate wisdom teeth. Often, this can lead to pain, infection, or decay of the teeth around them. Sometimes they are buried under the gum and bone that many people do not even realise they have wisdom teeth until it causes them problems. That is why taking an OPG xray is so important in a checkup. It will help to find any wisdom teeth and help us in determining whether they need to be extracted or not. Taking them out early can prevent any problems that may occur later. Impacted wisdom teeth can also lead to infections near the back of the mouth which can be very painful or uncomfortable, and in rare cases, even life threatening.
At Pakenham Dental, we have the equipment and training to remove most impacted wisdom teeth. To know more, call our friendly staff today.
Think about how much use you get out of your teeth. Teeth go through an immense amount of chewing and biting actions, which place a lot of force on teeth. With time, these forces eventually weaken the teeth. As a result, teeth may break or chip especially if they have been filled in the past. Teeth with old amalgam fillings are particularly susceptible to breaking because being a metal, amalgam will expand and contract over time weakening the remaining tooth structure. Often these broken teeth will require porcelain crowns to strengthen them to withstand the normal chewing forces that we apply to our teeth.
At Pakenham Dental, we can help identify any potential cracks which may lead to further problems in the future, and treat them so that your teeth have the best chance of long-term survival. Teeth can also chip due to accidents. Getting them seen to early will lead to better outcomes for your teeth. Leaving them untreated for too long, may result in losing the teeth altogether.
Halitosis is the medical term for bad breath—an unpleasant odor coming from the mouth. It’s a common condition that can be temporary or chronic, depending on the cause.
Common Causes of Bad Breath:
Chronic bad breath is a serious issue. Not only is chronic bad breath unpleasant in interpersonal contacts but it can also be a symptom of a serious oral care issue or Dental Decay and Infection.
At Pakenham Dental, we can help you treat your bad breath or halitosis, so it will not have any impact on your day to day activities. To know more, call our friendly staff today.
At Pakenham Dental, we have special intraoral cameras that we use that can actually show you where the plaque is building up and where decay is starting so that you can start to use preventive measures to stop the destruction of your teeth. As always prevention is better than cure, so get into the habit of twice-yearly dental checkups and cleans. We can provide a tailor-made plan for you to help you keep your teeth, mouth, and gums healthy for a lifetime of smiles. We can also show you strategies and recommend products for you to help improve your oral health as well as providing dietary advice to minimise your chances of developing dental disease.
