Matakatia

With university done for the year, I went up to Matakatia for a few days to stay with a friend at his family's bach. 

We had a fairly mixed bag of (mostly poor) weather, but when blue did appear in the sky we went for some wanders around the bays and I managed to take some photos.

Matakatia is a small beach on a very shallow bay on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, about an hour north of Auckland. Once upon a time it would've been a world away from the city, but today the area is really just a commuter suburb. 

Fortunately that means it is still rather quiet during the day, which made for a very restful trip after exams.

The water was such an incredible blue colour that is so iconically New Zealand. 

I really quite liked the pair of Norfolk Island Pines in the photo above, they just stood out among the landscape... it was quite hard to pick my favourite photo of them, so I've uploaded a couple in this post!

What To Do About A Broken Tooth

Even though your teeth are very strong they often break, chip or crack. There are a few things that can cause a tooth to break including:

Getting hit in the mouth or face

Tripping and falling

Biting something hard like nuts or hard candy

Having a tooth weakened by decay

Old fillings that give way

Sometimes, a tooth breaks and you are not aware of it. You might be able to feel a sharp edge if you touch it with your tongue. If it is a large break, then it might hurt, but a small chip might not be apparent. When a tooth is broken, the pain might be intermittent or it can be constant. Many people do feel some pain when chewing since that puts extra pressure on a tooth.

What should I do?

If you have a broken tooth, you need to see a Pediatric dentist. They can look at your tooth and determine what caused it to break. Once they know why the tooth broke, then they will create a treatment plan to repair or replace the tooth. Typically, they will repair it if it can be fixed, if not it might need to be pulled. It will depend on the severity of the break.
