Dear, wearing braces or not will be decided by your treating dentist. But yes the usual procedure involves wearing of braces For teeth correction and later on wearing retainer For extended period....

A major cause of tooth sensitivity is root exposure. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need cleaning along with desensitizing procedures and / or artificial enamel filling and / or root canal treatment. Advance procedures can be done with laser too. You may consult me in person. Until then apply a desensitizing paste (Sensodyne Tooth paste) on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min until you brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight will be better.

hello vijay, first of all I want you to to know that halitosis or bad breath is never genetic and is completely dependent on your oral hygiene. deposition of plaque and calculus around teeth cause gum infection, swollen gums and bleeding gums. this is one reason for bad breath. another reason is deposition of yellowish white layer over tongue. there are various other reasons like gastrointestinal health, fever, use of some medicines, Etc. I advise you to visit a dentist for professional cleaning of your teeth. then follow the instructions given by the dentist very strictly. brush twice a day along with tongue cleaning. rinse your mouth after every meal. drink lots of water.

Hi, Take homoeopathic medicine - Borax 200/ tds and Becosule-forte/1 cap. od daily - both for 3 mths. Revert.

After treatment there will be no such changes and if any changes happened that will be in aesthetic favor. A picture of your front tooth region will clarify what exactly you want like braces or just trimming of upper front tooth. As you mentioned teeth shortening, that means you feel your upper front teeth are larger than others, in that case, if trimming is only 1-2 mms, it can be done easily without paying much. But if we have to reduce more, that may require capping with or without intentional RCT. Cost will be according to treatment and other related procedures. I. Case of braces, time duration and cost not will be increased. So please clarify what exactly is your need. THANK YOU.

Generally people are worried about yellowish shade of their permanent teeth. Even parents complain that permanent teeth are yellower in shade than previous milk teeth of their child.

Actually milk teeth are called milk teeth because they have the refrective index (in lay language whiteness) equal to milk. So those teeth are milky white. But permanent teeth are yellower in shade always. And every person may have different shade of teeth.

Due to some causes like chromogenic bacteria, tea, coffee, tobbaco, food colours, fluorosis, enamel hypoplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, etc there may be discolouration of teeth. In that case you need to visit a dental surgeon. Otherwise slight yellow shade of natural teeth is no matter of worry. So do not get confused with television commercials claiming to provide you pearl like white teeth. Tooth colour shade is just like you skin tone. No toothpaste can change your teeth shade. If you want to get a lighter shade then go for bleaching after consulting your dentist.

While watching tv or working on the laptop are your teeth in constant contact knowingly or unknowingly. If yes then it is not the cheeks that are paining but your tmj which is the joint holding both the jaws that pains. Do you also feel sensitivity in your teeth?

That black spot may be start of tooth decay or cavity. That cant be cleaned .Get it filled to avoid pain and infection. Rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine mouthwash. Brush regularly two times daily with soft bristle toothbrush.

Cuts on tongue can occur for various reasons. They are normal presentation in some. But in elderly aged people they may occur due to diabetes. Kindly once refer to an oral medicine m. D. S expert for correct examination. Based on your age it may be a normal presentation only. The pain may be because of some other reason. Hence kindly consult an expert in your local area.

May be some food particle is stuck in the decayed tooth which caused the swelling. Immediately visit a dentist nearby. He or she will open the tooth and ; swelling and pain will be relieved.

In my humble opinion you should not self medicate without knowing the exact origin of pain. Taking medicines blindly will cause more harm than good. You should first get checked by your dentist to evaluate whether the pain is linked to any dental problem or not. If not then you should consult an Ophthalmologist (eye specialist) or where the dentist refers you. Hope this helps.

you get your teeth cleaned professionally by scaling and polishing for hygiene. use a pain killer tablet for pain relief.

Brushing right is important for healthy gums, but do not brush too hard, simply apply some pressure on your teeth. Opt for a toothbrush that has soft bristles. These soft bristles won't cut or damage your gums. Also, twist your brush at a 45 degree angle so that the bristles won't damage your gums.

The cost varies between 20000 to 35000 depending upon the duration of treatment. There is no associated risk with the treatment.

1. Maintain good oral hygiene, brushing twice daily n flossing. 2. Rinse oral cavity every time you eat something 3. Mouthwash may help better 4. In between try chewing some flavoured chewing gums, elachi etc 5. Also, use a good tongue scraper to clean tongue on daily basis.

Accumulation of plaque usually leads to tooth decay and gum disease. This can be prevented by flossing on a daily basis.

There are no paste or creams that can make the teeth yellow until the cause is not removed... The causes can be Chronic bleeding from the gums. Or Too much tea Smoking etc... First identify the cause and then you can have whiter teeth...

These commercially available tooth paste are one n the same thing.Both says they work in reducing the tooth senstivity due to cold intake.These may help olny during the early stages but when there is sensation to both cold and hot drinks and pain, you need to visit a dentist.

Get scalling n polishing done by dentist use mouth wash regularly adopt proper brushing techniques visit your dentist to get it rotten teeth examined who'll guide later fr it's treatment.
