If you are dealing with missing teeth, you may already know that particular moment: you run your tongue along your teeth and feel a gap that was not there before, or you glance in the mirror and notice something is missing. Whether a tooth has been extracted, knocked out, or simply crumbled away over time, the reaction is almost always the same, a mix of concern, self-consciousness, and the nagging question of what you are actually supposed to do about it. If that sounds fami

Is a chipped tooth considered a dental emergency? The short answer: it depends on the severity. You bite into something hard, feel that horrible crack, and your stomach drops. In the next few seconds, the questions come flooding in: Is this serious? Do I need to go somewhere now? Is my tooth going to fall out? At Wigmore Smiles & Aesthetics, calls like this arrive regularly, and the first thing the team always says is: take a breath.

On Friday 18 September 2026, I had the pleasure of attending the MiSmile Conference & Gala 2026 at the Hilton London Metropole in London.

It's 11pm. What started as a dull ache a few hours ago has become a deep, throbbing pain that no amount of paracetamol seems to touch. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, severe toothache causes range from a straightforward cavity to a spreading infection that needs same-day care, and understanding the difference matters enormously. Severe tooth pain is one of the most distressing things a person can experience, and it almost never gives much warning before it takes ho

It happens more often than you might think. A patient comes in for a routine check-up, mentions in passing that they had a back tooth out a couple of years ago, and when we ask whether it was ever replaced, the answer is almost always the same: "I didn't bother. Nobody could see it." At Wigmore Smiles & Aesthetics, that conversation happens regularly, and it is one of the reasons we wanted to put together a clear, honest picture of what actually goes on when a gap is left unt

Many people notice their teeth shifting colour gradually and quietly assume the cause is poor hygiene. They brush a little harder, switch toothpaste, and wonder why nothing seems to change. The reality is that the cause of discoloured teeth is rarely that straightforward, and the reason discolouration forms in the first place shapes everything about how it should be treated. Patients frequently come in describing the colour change accurately but with little idea of what has a

Will crooked teeth get worse if left untreated? It's one of the questions we hear most often at Wigmore Smiles & Aesthetics, and it genuinely deserves a straight answer rather than a vague "it depends." Many adults with crowded or crooked teeth wonder whether ignoring the problem is a reasonable choice or a risk that will catch up with them later. The honest truth is that teeth do shift with age for the vast majority of people, and the consequences of leaving significant misa

If you're wondering what causes crooked teeth in adults, you're not alone. Picture this: you look at a photo from ten years ago and notice your teeth looked straighter back then. Maybe you even had braces as a teenager. Now there's a slight overlap at the front, or your lower teeth feel more crowded than you remember. It's unsettling, and it's also extremely common, roughly two-thirds of adults have some degree of misalignment, and many genuinely don't understand why it's hap

Many adults sit in the dental chair and say some version of the same thing: "My teeth used to be straighter. I haven't done anything differently, so why do I have crooked teeth now?" Anecdotally, at our clinic, Wigmore Smiles & Aesthetics in Luton, it is one of the questions we hear most often, and the honest answer is that crooked teeth rarely have a single cause. There is almost always a combination of things going on, some of which started before you were even born.
