At Chelmsford Dental, we diagnose and treat a wide range of common dental conditions. From tooth decay and gum disease to jaw pain and worn teeth, our goal is to help every patient maintain a healthy, comfortable smile with personalised care and lasting results.
If you’re experiencing discomfort, sensitivity, or cosmetic concerns, our experienced team can assess your teeth and gums to recommend the best treatment options.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often happens during sleep and can lead to jaw tension, headaches, or worn teeth. It may be linked to stress, an uneven bite, or sleep issues. We can provide custom night guards and tailored treatments to protect your teeth and ease symptoms.
Canker sores are small, painful spots that form inside the mouth. They can be triggered by stress, minor injury, or certain foods. While most clear on their own, sores that keep returning or are more severe may need attention. We can help manage flare ups and reduce irritation.
Cavities develop when acids and bacteria break down the outer surface of a tooth. If untreated, they can cause sensitivity, pain, and deeper damage. We offer gentle restorations and preventive care to keep your teeth healthy and strong.
Dry mouth occurs when the mouth does not produce enough saliva. This can cause discomfort, trouble eating, and a higher chance of decay. It may be linked to medication, dehydration, or certain health conditions. We can recommend treatments to improve moisture and protect your oral health.
Periodontitis is an advanced stage of gum disease that affects the tissues and bone supporting the teeth. Signs may include swollen gums, bleeding, or loosening teeth. Early care helps prevent long term damage, and our team provides effective treatment to restore gum health.
A cracked tooth may cause pain when chewing or sensitivity to temperature. Cracks can result from biting hard foods, grinding, or accidental injury. We can assess the damage and recommend treatment such as bonding, crowns, or root canal therapy to restore function.
Gingivitis is the early form of gum inflammation, often causing redness or bleeding when brushing. It is usually linked to plaque buildup and can be reversed with professional cleaning and better home care. We help patients restore healthy, comfortable gums.
Halitosis, or persistent bad breath, can be caused by food debris, dry mouth, gum problems, or oral hygiene habits. Long lasting symptoms may point to an underlying condition. We can identify the cause and provide treatment to freshen your breath.
Malocclusion refers to teeth that do not sit together properly when biting. This can cause difficulty chewing, uneven wear, or cosmetic concerns. We offer a range of treatments, including braces and aligners, to improve alignment and comfort.
Oral cancer can affect the lips, tongue, cheeks, or throat and may show as sores, lumps, or lasting white or red patches. Early diagnosis gives the best chance for successful treatment. We provide screening and guidance to support your health and wellbeing.
Oral thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth, causing white patches, mild soreness, or redness. It is more common in people with dry mouth, recent antibiotic use, or reduced immunity. Our dentists can diagnose the condition and provide antifungal treatment.
Tooth sensitivity causes a sharp, brief discomfort when eating cold, hot, sweet, or acidic foods. It may be due to exposed dentine, enamel wear, or gum recession. We offer fluoride treatments and protective options to strengthen teeth and reduce sensitivity.
A tooth abscess occurs when bacteria cause a pocket of infection around the tooth or gums. It can lead to swelling, throbbing pain, and a bad taste. Treatment is needed quickly to prevent the infection from spreading. We provide drainage and root canal therapy to relieve discomfort and save the tooth.
Tooth erosion happens when acids wear away enamel, causing sensitivity, thinning, or yellowing. Common causes include acidic drinks, reflux, or frequent snacking. We offer fluoride treatments, remineralising products, and restorative care to strengthen and protect the teeth.
At Chelmsford Dental, we combine advanced dental expertise with a caring, personal approach. Our focus is on helping every patient achieve lasting oral health through gentle, precise, and effective treatment.

The most common dental conditions include tooth decay, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, cracked teeth, and bad breath. Many of these problems can be prevented with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups at your dentist.
You may notice symptoms such as pain, bleeding gums, sensitivity, or persistent bad breath. Even mild discomfort or visible changes to your teeth or gums can signal an issue. A professional examination is the best way to confirm and treat it early.
Most dental problems do not heal without treatment. Issues like decay, gum disease, and enamel erosion tend to worsen over time. Seeing a dentist promptly can prevent more complex and costly treatment later.
We recommend a dental check-up and professional clean every six months. This allows your dentist to detect early signs of decay, gum inflammation, or enamel wear before they cause discomfort or damage.
Gum disease is caused by plaque bacteria that build up along the gumline. Poor brushing, infrequent flossing, smoking, and some medical conditions can increase your risk. Regular professional cleaning and good home care can prevent it.
Tooth sensitivity can result from worn enamel, gum recession, or exposed dentine. While not always serious, it can indicate underlying issues such as erosion or decay. Your dentist can diagnose the cause and suggest appropriate treatment.
If you grind your teeth (bruxism), a custom night guard can protect them while you sleep. Managing stress and maintaining good posture can also help reduce tension in your jaw muscles.
Yes. Frequent consumption of sugary or acidic foods and drinks increases your risk of tooth decay and erosion. A balanced diet with plenty of water, dairy, fruits, and vegetables helps strengthen your teeth and gums.
Persistent bad breath may be caused by trapped food, gum disease, or dry mouth. A professional clean, improved brushing and flossing habits, and treating any underlying dental issues can help resolve it.
You should see a dentist as soon as possible if you experience ongoing or severe tooth pain. Pain can indicate infection, decay, or injury. Prompt treatment helps relieve discomfort and protect your tooth.
