When a cavity becomes too deep, or when the tooth starts paining then Root Canal Treatment or RCT is done to save the tooth and extend its life. Root canal therapy, also known as endodontics, is done to remove infection and inflammationfrom the roots of a tooth. By choosing endodontic treatment you are choosing to keep your natural teeth as a healthy foundation for chewing the foods you love to eat for years to come.

Dental cleanings are important to maintaining proper oral hygiene. Professional cleaning removes mineralized plaque that even with careful brushing and flossing, you can miss, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach. It is specially important to maintain the health of your gums.
Dental implants are considered a strong, long-lasting treatment option for patients with lost or missing teeth. Each implant consists of a fake tooth, and a biocompatible “root” made from titanium that is attached to the bone – just like a natural tooth. Dental implants can be applied to replace one or two missing teeth, an entire arch of teeth, and even an entire smile.

A dental bridge is a false tooth that is used to fill the gap created by missing tooth or teeth. A gap between your teeth can be potentially dangerous to your dental health, as it can cause your teeth to shift resulting in a change in your bite that could be painful. Dental bridges help alleviate this problem by using the two surrounding teeth as anchors to hold a false tooth in the place where the gap is. Typically, porcelain crowns are placed over the surrounding teeth, and the false tooth, known as a pontic, is fused between them.
Routine dental exams are important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. The Academy of General Dentistry recommends checkups twice a year for people of all ages.

These techniques allow us to check for cavities, cracked teeth and oral cancer. Through examination allows our dentists to make a customized treatment plan to meet all your dental needs.

Some people have upper front teeth that stick out and look unsightly. These ‘prominent’ teeth are more likely to be damaged, but orthodontic treatment can move them back into line.

We are told that brushing twice a day is essential for oral health. But ever wondered how we go about 12 hours without paying any heed to our dental hygiene, despite having some of our heaviest meals during the day. Most dental experts say that to maintain good oral hygiene, it is important to also take care of your pearly whites during the day. The shred of spinach from your last meal stuck in your teeth or the infamous onion breath can be a big put off for others around you. So here are some tips that you should follow through the day to maintain your dental hygiene.
Rinse after every meal – If brushing your teeth during office hours is not possible, thoroughly rinse your mouth after every meal. You can do it with simple water or a mouthwash.
Use a mouth freshener – If you have heavy meals during the day, it is best to use a mouth freshener
Avoid sugar laden treats – Having sugary snacks alone can disturb your dental hygiene. It is best to avoid it or have it with your meals.
Have veggies as mid snack meals – Instead of opting for packaged foods to curb your untimely cravings, munch on vegetable sticks and fruits. The fiber in them will act as natural cleansers for your teeth.
End your meal with cheese – Ending a meal with cheese increases the saliva flow and reduces the risk of cavities by cleansing the sugar in your mouth
Chewing gums – Sugarless gums are a great way to clean your teeth, if you can’t brush or floss. It also increases the salivary flow like cheese

When is the right time to take a baby to a dentist? Well, this surely is a complex question. For most of the parents, it is after the baby gets his/her full set of teeth, while for some it is not until they have some dental problem. But the right age is earlier than you might think.
As per the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, you should take your baby for the first round of check-up when their first tooth appears. That normally happens when the baby is between six months and one year. It is considered as the best age to start taking care of oral health, in order to avoid complications later.
