Teeth will not become loose because of the cleaning procedure. It is the treatment of choice for Bad Breath also known as Halitosis. The teeth are held firmly in place due to the gums and the bone around them. The tartar (food debris and bacteria) gathered around the teeth causes infection of the gums and bone. This infection leads to receding of bone and gum levels and thus creates gaps between teeth (Pyorrhoea). This tartar, if not removed periodically (once in every 6 months) can cause loosening of teeth. The cleaning procedure will help remove tartar and stop the gum and bone from receding. This will increase the life and integrity of the teeth and gums.

It depends on each dental patient’s particular oral needs as every patient is different. Some patients are simply more prone to having dental issues, making it necessary for them to see a dental professional more often. Other patients will experience hardly any dental issues at all, which means it is likely that they will need to have their teeth cleaned on a less frequent basis.

General guidelines state that patients should make an appointment for a professional dental cleaning every six months. While this is ideal for most people, some will need to come in every three months and others will only need to come in every nine or 12 months.

Bad breath or halitosis is a common oral health problem which could be prevalent not only due to dental problems but also some systemic diseases like respiratory problems, diabetes, stomach upsets etc.

Babreath can arise due to negligence of oral hygiene, pyorrhoea in gums, food lodgement in decayed teeth and unclean tongue. You could be either suggested the use of a mouthwash, taught proper brushing/flossing techniques and treated for dental decay or gum problems.

The first tooth usually appears around 6 months old. The first tooth to appear is always the lower front teeth (the lower central incisors). Most children will usually have all of their baby teeth by age 3.

There is a wide range of variability of when a first tooth may appear. Some babies may not have any teeth by their first birthday!

Around 3 months of age, babies will begin exploring the world with their mouth and have increased saliva and start to put their hands in their mouth. Many parents question whether or not this means that their baby is teething.

Children start being cranky when teething, since they may experience the signs like drooling, irritability, restlessness, and loss of appetite. Fever, illness, and diarrhoea are also some symptoms of teething but, if your child presents with these signs later, they need to be evaluated by some child specialist doctor. The best solution to comfort the child is to have the child chew on a cold or frozen rubber teething ring. Topical anaesthetics/gels are not advisable.

Yes, it is necessary to get your babies teeth filled.

Children need their teeth to chew, speak, and smile till they grow in adults and have their permanent teeth. Baby teeth hold the space for permanent teeth. If your child loses a baby tooth too early, the adjacent teeth are more likely to tilt or drift into the empty space and create limited space in the jaw for the permanent tooth to erupt. If left untreated, the permanent tooth can come in crowded or be blocked from erupting.

Decayed baby teeth can cause pain, infection and problems with eating, sleeping and going to school. Some baby teeth stay in the mouth until children are 12 or 13, which is too long to be suffering with toothache and soreness.

While preferable age for braces is teenage, people of any age can avail this treatment. The treatment time may however be longer for adult patients as the bone is denser in them. Having said that, with newer treatment options like invisible, ceramic braces, aesthetics and time of treatment are also not a problem.

The second trimester is the safest trimester for any dental treatment.

Since hormonal changes are rampant in pregnancy, teeth and gum cleaning by the dentist is necessary as and when required.

The mouth is a major gateway to the blood vessels and digestive system. Your oral health can be a good indicator of your overall health. Hormone changes and certain medications can increase the risk of periodontal disease and dry mouth.

Inside your tooth, beneath the white enamel and a hard layer called dentin, is a soft tissue called pulp. This tissue contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, which help grow the root of your tooth during its development. Whenever a tooth decay/cavity reaches and infects the pulp of the tooth, the only way to salvage the tooth is removal of this infected pulp along with its nerve and blood vessels. This procedure is called root canal treatment (RCT). Here the tooth is remains intact in your mouth and functions normally after the procedure. With technology backing dentistry a RCT is a very routine and painless procedure like a filling.

It is usually completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective. Hi-Tech Dental care is a well known centre for root canal treatment in Pattambi. You’ll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time.

A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed/black deep cavities, cleans this affected area, and then fills the cleaned-out portion of the tooth with a filling material which is biocompatible. Tooth filling is the best treatment option to prevent further tooth decay and damage.

By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include a composite resin (tooth-coloured fillings).
