On your first visit, you got to go through a thorough dental examination.

After the required examination that also includes full set of x-rays, your Personal Dental Care Plan is charted.

The plan includes recommendations for cleaning, restorations and preventive treatments depending on the assessment.

In most cases, patients receive a cleaning at their first visit.

Dental care for kids begins at an early age that is when they are half a year old.

It is around this time, a child’s first teeth usually begin to break through the gums.

Dental experts recommend that the best time to start child’s dental care is at 12 months of age.

Your dentist will tell you have a cavity and you need to fix that with a filling. Fillings protect the tooth from further decay.

You may go in for either the metal fillings or the tooth-coloured fillings.

The options available for dental fillings cater different patients.

In case you are looking for something durable and quick, the metal filling is the option to go with.

However, you are looking for a tooth that looks real and give you a new smile that is aesthetically pleasing then you the tooth-coloured filling is the option to go with.

The choice between tooth-coloured filling and metal filling is generally up to you.

Yes, the metal coloured filling will be easy on your wallet and durable on your gums.

Assuming you are alright with the sparkle of metal twinkle every time you Laugh Out Loud. The tooth-coloured fillings on the other hand cost more than the metal coloured fillings. But in that price, you get natural looking teeth and an unhesitant smile.

The procedure of dental fillings begins after the anaesthesia is administered.

The filling materials used are highly effective.

In fact, you can begin to chew on something soft within 30 minutes of the surgery; ideally after the anaesthesia wears off.

In case the tooth does not have a nerve and your dental crown is being prepared, you may not need a local anaesthetic.

For a few days, there may be some soreness after the procedure.

And that is due to pressure and temperature sensitivity. It will gradually subside with proper care and meds.

Ideally, two or three hours after the procedure, you can start having soft food and fluids. As long as the anaesthesia wears off.

This depends on your dental situation and clinical needs.

A good quality restoration will take time. But then haven’t you heard that with time good things come.

Two sittings and you will have a twinkle twinkle little stars in your mouth

The nerve supply of the tooth also known as the pulp lies in the centre of the tooth. In case the pulp gets infected, the infection may spread through the root canal system of the tooth.

Symptoms of a root canal are as follows:
If you’ve ticked all the above symptoms, you can call up on our dentist and fix up an appointment.

With the state-of-the-art technology and varied local anaesthetics around, the root canal treatment will be virtually pain-free.

For the first few days after treatment, it is normal for your tooth to be sensitive to biting.

You can ask for over-the-counter meds to seek relief from the discomforting pain.

Tooth whitening is a highly effective way of to lighten discoloured tooth and remove stains from the enamel and dentin of the teeth.

The dentist will first assess your dental structure and tell if you are suitable for the treatment.

The procedure begins with the dentist taking preventive measure he will put a rubber shield or a gel on your gums to protect the soft tissue. After that the whitening product is applied to your teeth using a specially made tray which fits into your mouth like a gum-shield. The ‘active ingredient’ in the product breaks down during which oxygen gets into the enamel on the teeth and the tooth colour is made lighter.

Your bright and white smile can last up to three years.
