What are the real risks?<\/h2>\r\n

In our clinic at 3 Goldhawk Road in London and talking with people who travel down to see us from Manchester the primary danger is gum irritation along the new border.<\/p>\r\n

The secret to keeping gums happy is the emergence profile. When a tooth is narrow, packing extra composite down near the gumline can leave a tiny ledge. Food debris crawls under that border, making gums puffy and sore until the margin gets polished like smooth glass.<\/p>\r\n

Your upper lip also has to glide over a thicker surface. If the resin gets sculpted too bulky, your lip catches on the edge whenever you smile.<\/p>\r\n

Plaque mainly threatens the gumline boundary. You have to brush in gentle circles right where the resin meets your gum, or tea and red wine will leave a faint dark ring along the border. Gritty whitening toothpastes are a bad idea here because they scratch the gloss.<\/p>\r\n

Beyond that, leave hard boiled sweets alone. Don’t chew on pen tops when you are concentrating at work. A basic night splint will sort out any clenching while you sleep.
