No it's Ultrasonics . Professional cleaning does only removal of extra Tarter deposited on tooth . Tenacious stains are removed by Air polisher which too doesn't manage tooth . It can be done once in a months or as advised by Dentist

Yes . When the cavity, decay or abbrasion of tooth is small ..the life of the Restoration is more.  So always earlier the better .

Yes. Decay Preventive Pit & Fissue sealants( PFS) are there to prevent decay . This is done for kids mainly . 2 - 18 yrs . Sometimes very small cavities are cleaned with Special Micro burs under Magnification and restored by Preventive Resin Restoration (PRR).

Yes. Now a days all fillings are mostly Tooth colored . They are called Composite Resin Restorations.  We have different shades to match your existing tooth .Once the Restorations are polished well the life of them is more. As well the regular check ups like 6 months ..we can monitor them. Your oral hygiene and maintenance plays a major role too. Brushing twice a day , using Dental floss , mouth washes at times as prescribed by us .

A deep cavity or an abraded tooth with sustained sensitivity or continuous pain could need RCT . It can be confirmed by an Xray - Radiograph and few test . Sometimes a CBCT( Cone Bean Computed Tomography) scan needed if prescribed by Endodontist. The success rate is more than 97% for a RCT .

A Dentist after graduating his 5yrs BDS degree then finishing his master for 3yrs in Root Canal Treatment is an Endodontist.

Yes , most of times it's needed to protect the remaining tooth structure from fracturing as well in aiding good function . Sometimes Dentist prefers other Restorations like Composite , Onlays which depends on the clinical situation,  forces of chewing,  age and more.

Re-Rct is the last option to save a Strategic tooth . The Endodontist needs a CBCT after clinical examination and Radiograph.  He discusses with the patient the pros & cons . Then if the success is above 75% Re-Rct will be a choice before tooth extraction. Mostly it is done in multiple visits for more success rate .

No , not so like olden days . Tooth extraction is more Atraumatic now a days . A good profound anesthesia is acquired by current technique and thin needles . As well tooth is removed by spliting . So the post operative swelling very less and minimal drugs prescribed according to needs . As well once the tooth extraction is planed it's done according whether Dental Implants are going to be placed immediately,  later or only a Dental bridge or a partial denture is needed.

Yes . We examine the situation and tooth thoroughly . We get a written medical opinion and go ahead to relieve your Dental pain ASAP . Mostly in this situation We try to save your tooth than extraction.        

A well planned Dental Implant with a Crown is more successful. We don’t grinding the neighboring tooth in this like for placing a bridge. Once the extraction is done and there is no infection ..Implant can be placed immediately too if adequate bone is available.  If not there a bone grafting with Membrane can be done . After Implant it's ideal wait for 12 weeks at least to get loaded on it with a Crown . During that time a temporary tooth can be placed according to the need . Dental Implant is absolutely not painful . It's mostly planed digitally with scans and CBCT to get to guide them into an exact place where the tooth will naturally emerge in its place.

Yes . Someone without any tooth or a side of jaw without tooth Dental Implant Prosthesis are an ideal option . It's fixed . So chewing can be done well than in a removable type of Denture

When a wisdom tooth is not coming straight in it's place eg, in a smaller jaw ..the best option is to remove them with their opposing wisdom tooth too . So, once the problem identified ..earlier the better before the gums in that area are infected . Sometimes the tooth are deeply or partially buried in the jaw bone . In that case we have to trim the covered bone over the tooth or either split the tooth crown /root for a easier painless removal. Some swelling near the tooth could be expected on that region next day . So, we prescribe Antibiotics, Painkillers and some mouth. Soft diet advised without hot . Sutures may be laid to close the wound for a faster healing.

Good question. It depends on the age of the child..

 If a milk tooth at age 11 is caries and after taking an X-ray Dentist decides to remove ..it can be removed as the permanent tooth is ahead to erupt. On the other , if a 5yr old boy has a chewing milk tooth decayed ..it has to be filled or root canal treated . If removed here ..it will affect the eruption of the permanent tooth's direction inside the jaw. So, the better choice is to consult the Dr and decide on the clinical situation to decide what's needed for your child.

After a RCT if there is less tooth structure. The permanent filling alone on the root canal pulp chamber is not enough. This might come off with the crown or inherently fracture too. So, a supportive rod like is placed inside one of the bigger roots to hold the permanent filling material . Together it's talked post & Core after RCT.  Now, after a check Radiograph the tooth is ready for a crown .
