Frequently asked dental questions
Clear answers for Rustenburg patients.
Use these answers as guidance—not as a replacement for a dental examination.
Should I wait if my tooth pain stops?
No. Pain stopping does not always mean the problem is gone. Decay, infection or nerve damage may still be present.
Why does my tooth hurt when I chew?
Pain when chewing may be caused by decay, a crack, infection, gum problems or a damaged filling.
What happens if I ignore bleeding gums?
Bleeding gums can progress into gum disease, bad breath, loose teeth and long-term oral health problems.
When should a tooth be removed?
A tooth may need removal if it is badly infected, broken, loose or too damaged to repair.
Can dentures help if I struggle to chew?
Yes. Denture support can help restore chewing, speech and confidence when teeth are missing.
Does my child need a dentist if there is no pain?
Yes. Regular children’s dental visits help prevent cavities and monitor healthy tooth development.
Can cleaning help with bad breath?
Yes. Professional cleaning can remove plaque and bacteria that may contribute to persistent bad breath.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional whitening support is designed to reduce risk, but teeth and gums should be checked first.
