Regular checkups help detect dental problems early, prevent tooth decay, and maintain overall oral health. Bi-annual visits are recommended.
Cavities worsen over time, leading to pain, infection, and potential tooth loss. Early treatment with fillings or RCT prevents complications.
Yes, modern digital X-rays emit minimal radiation and are safe for diagnosis. Lead aprons further reduce exposure risks
If decay is deep but hasn’t reached the nerve, a filling is possible. However, if the pulp is infected, a root canal is necessary.
Sensitivity can be due to enamel erosion, cavities, gum recession, or cracked teeth. A dentist can identify and treat the cause.
While rare, RCTs can fail due to reinfection or missed canals. A retreatment (Re-RCT) can fix the issue and save the tooth.
A root canal-treated tooth may become slightly brittle. A crown is recommended to restore strength and longevity.
Yes, options like veneers, composite bonding, or clear aligners can close minor gaps without traditional braces.
Results last 6 months to 2 years, depending on diet, oral hygiene, and habits like smoking or coffee consumption.
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. Regular checkups and oral hygiene are key to longevity.

Remove and clean dentures daily, soak them overnight, and visit the dentist if they become loose or uncomfortable.
The first visit should be by age 1 or when the first tooth erupts, whichever comes first.
Black stains can be due to plaque, iron supplements, or early cavities. A dentist can clean and suggest preventive measures.
Yes, clear aligners (Invisalign) are an excellent alternative for mild to moderate misalignment.
Treatment duration varies from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the severity of the misalignment
Gum disease (gingivitis/periodontitis) is caused by plaque buildup. Treatments include deep cleaning, medication, and in severe cases, surgery.
Gum recession is irreversible, but treatments like gum grafting can restore lost gum tissue and prevent further recession
If wisdom teeth cause pain, crowding, or infection, removal is recommended. Not all wisdom teeth need extraction.
Healing takes 1-2 weeks, but discomfort subsides within a few days. Proper aftercare speeds up recovery.
Laser dentistry is painless, reduces bleeding, and speeds up healing. It’s used for gum treatments, cavity removal, and teeth whitening.
