Thank you for giving me the confidence to smile again.

    Why have this?

When you can have this.

This patient first came to us with sever pain from her lower molar. The tooth had previously been heavily restored with a large mercury silver filling. The tooth required endodontic treatment which also contributed to further weakening of the tooth.

Traditionally full coverage crowns are used to help reinforce badly damaged teeth. The above picture illustrates what a typical gold crown looks like. As part of the preperation for the full gold crown more tooth tissue needs to be removed further weakening the tooth. With the use of an all ceramic onlay it is possible to restore the tooth full function whilst improving the appearnace and strengthening the tooth structure.

Almost 90% of all headaches are considered “primary headaches” which are frequently caused by TMJ disorder. This is caused by an imbalance in the relationship of the jaw to the skull. The TMJ joint allows the jaw to open, close and move to the side and forward. It plays an important role in jaw functions such as talking, chewing and yawning.

Symptoms of TMJ disorder may include:

• limited jaw movement
• difficulty in opening the mouth
• a stuck or ‘locked’ jaw
• clicking, grating or popping noises from the jaw joints
• pain when chewing, yawning or opening the jaw widely
• pain in or around the ears and cheeks
• headaches, and occasionally, migraine-like headaches and nausea

 Dr Hassan has spent a year at the Dawson’s Acadcemy and has undergone extensive training to treat these problems and help relieve people from unecessary discomfort. If you feel you are suffereing with TMJ disorder and would like to see Dr Hassan to discuss your treatment options then call the practice  on 01924 373697 and make your first appointment.

Dr Hassan and Natalie are available for out of hours emergency appointments. If you wish to be seen please call the emergency number 07964 614209 leave a message and the dentist will call you back.

The cold snap has returned with a vengence on what is traditionally the chilliest day of the year. With plenty of ice and the lack of grit it is making it hazardous around southern areas of the country. Here in Wakefield city centre the snow has almost melted and the roads and path ways have been heavily treated making your journey to Pollards a little bit easier. We are open as usual from 9.00am till 5pm, we look foward to seeing you.

I would like to say a big thankyou to all the team at Pollards who were very helpful when I was in a great deal of pain. I had not been to a dentist for many years due a bad experience that had left me terrified. After suffering with severe tooth ache for a few days I decided to do something about it. When I called the practice and told the recepionist my problem she was very reasuring and promised me an emergency appointment that same day. When I entered the practice I was very nervous but the friendly staff put me at ease. Dr Hassan was very helpful and explained all my treatment options and even worked through lunch to get me out of pain, enabling me to go home and get a good nights sleep.  Once again thankyou!
