She pointed to a premolar tooth on her upper right side. Whenever she smiled in the mirror, she could see a little brown dip right by the gum.<\/p>\r\n<p>She looked at me and asked: can you bond a premolar, or do you have to cut it down for a crown?<\/p>\r\n<p>I said: don&#8217;t worry, we can bond that up in twenty minutes.<\/p>\r\n<p>Premolars sit between your sharp canines and your back molars. They get a fair bit of chewing action, but they aren&#8217;t subjected to the massive grinding forces of back teeth. Her problem was classic toothbrush wear. She had been scrubbing her teeth with a hard plastic brush, which gouged out a tiny ditch near the gumline and exposed the root.<\/p>\r\n<p>I told her to sit back and relax. I didn&#8217;t use a drill at all. I washed out the little notch with warm water, dabbed on blue dental conditioner, and brushed on our bonding glue. Then I patted a tiny smear of white composite paste right into the ditch.<\/p>\r\n<p>I set the paste with our blue curing lamp and buffed the edge flush with her enamel.<\/p>\r\n<p>She took a sip of cold water from our cup right away zero twinges. She hopped out of the chair without any numb lips and drove home happy.<br \/><br \/>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lady came into Envy Smile Dental last Friday complaining about a sharp zing every time she drank iced tea.
