General Dentistry Services Include:
Periodontal disease (commonly known as gum disease) is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults. It is almost completely preventable with regular dental visits and good oral hygiene. Regular general dentistry appointments include a deep clean of the teeth and gums to remove the buildup of plaque, which is the leading cause of gum disease.
In simple terms, gum recession is when gums shift from their original position and move downwards in the lower jaw or upwards in the upper jaw, thereby exposing the tooth root. In technical terms, gum recession is attachment loss, resulting in the onset of gum disease, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. Tooth sensitivity can also become an associated chronic problem.
The following are some common factors that cause gum recession:
At Kennedy Heights Dental Centre, we offer the latest, minimally invasive, and highly effective gum repositioning technique called ‘pinhole gum rejuvenation.
Pinhole gum rejuvenation is a surgical technique that involves the making of pinhole-sized punctures using specific dental instruments after the administration of local anesthesia. The gums are then stretched and lifted upwards from their original position, and the pinholes are then filled with collagen for rapid repair of gums
Traditional surgery for gum repositioning requires grafts that are harvested from another place in the oral cavity, most commonly the palate. This graft is sutured to the receded gums and extended up to their original position. This creates a lesion at both sites, requiring sutures.
With the pinhole technique, there is no need for sutures, and thus, appointments are shorter, and recovery is more rapid. The pinhole method also enables dentists to treat multiple teeth in a single sitting. The traditional technique, on the other hand, can result in color mismatch and extensive discomfort when multiple teeth are treated in one visit.

Root Canals: What You Need To Know
A root canal treatment is not always as complicated a procedure as you may have been led to believe. Although it may require several dental appointments, the dentists at Kennedy Heights Dental Centre make sure that the procedure is performed smoothly and seamlessly.
When Do You Need A Root Canal?
When carbohydrate-containing food particles get lodged into tooth spaces, they undergo bacterial decomposition, in other words, oral bacteria release acids to digest the food particles for their use. These acids dissolve the calcium of the tooth surface; this can cause cavities, which, if they became deep enough, can eventually reach the tooth nerve and blood supply that are housed in the deepest parts of a tooth.
If the nerves of a tooth are exposed, it causes excruciating pain and discomfort. This is when you will typically need a root canal, in some cases, an intentional root canal may be performed. For example, when the tooth crown has worn off and if your dentist feels that placing a crown on that tooth will expose the nerves. they may perform an intentional root canal and then cap the tooth.
What Is The Procedure For A Root Canal?
It typically takes one to two dental appointments for a root canal treatment.
Your dentist at Kennedy Heights Dental Centre will first prepare an access cavity to gain access to the root canals. The root canals are then cleaned of bacterial contamination and prepared to receive an inert and radiopaque restorative material. The material is placed into the root canals, and the canals are then sealed, after which the access cavity is filled with composite material, and the tooth is reduced in size to accommodate a dental crown over it.
How Long Does The Procedure Take?
It may take anywhere between one to three appointments for a root canal treatment since the severity of the bacterial infection decides the duration of the treatment. Unless the tooth is severely infected, a one-time appointment will usually suffice
Is It Painful?
A root canal can be performed under local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or conscious sedation, depending on what you prefer. You will not feel pain during
