We think more sugar we consume more cavities we will get. This is a myth. Actually frequency of sugar intake is important than the amount of sugar intake. When we consume anything, bacteria present in our mouth start digesting food and produce acids. Lactic acid act on tooth and start demineralizing it meanwhile buffers present in saliva start neutralizing those acids. This whole process takes 30-45 mins. More frequently we eat more acid production, tooth stays in non-acidic conditions for less ...more

Myofunctional appliances are those appliances in orthodontics, which take help from the muscles to act on the desired treatment plan. The conventional orthodontic appliances make use of mechanical force in order to alter the position of tooth/teeth into a more favorable position. The scope of all these fixed appliances is limited to a great extent by certain morphological conditions. These are caused because of aberrations in the process of developing the neuromuscular capsule surrounding the or...more

Root canal therapy (RCT) followed by a crown is the most common mode of treatment for severely decayed teeth. However, this is not devoid of failure. In another case, if a tooth could not be salvaged by RCT, then extraction followed by a bridge (replacing the removed tooth with support from adjacent healthy teeth) became the next best option.
In both cases, especially latter, healthy teeth are being manipulated to support the tooth being replaced. The next quest was to work without touc...more

Dental implants are generally identified as substitutes for tooth roots. Besides replacing damaged or decayed teeth, implants also provide a strong foundation for both permanent as well as removable replacement teeth.
Advantages
There are loads of advantages to implants. These include:
1. Better overall appearance of teeth since they are made to fuse with the bone.
2. Unlike removable dentures, implants are much more comforting as well as convenient

It is said that oral health is the best indicator of a person's health. Bad oral hygiene translates down to the rest of the organs, reflecting poor health. And, like all other organs of the body, the oral cavity also is ageing and therefore, requires extra attention to maintain good health and requires a longer time to heal and get back to its original state. So, as the old adage goes, prevention is better than cure.

A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma. The term "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals inside the tooth's root.

Ever wondered how good it would be if a tooth lost can be placed back in place? That is just what the dental implant does. Unlike the dentures, which replace only the crown portion of the tooth, the implant replaces the crown and the root portion of the tooth.

People with diabetes are at higher risk for oral health problems, such as gingivitis (an early stage of gum disease) and periodontitis (serious gum disease) because they are generally more susceptible to bacterial infection, and have a decreased ability to fight bacteria that invade the gums.
If diabetes is left untreated, it can cause following symptoms in the mouth:
- you may have less saliva, causing your mouth to feel dry. (dry mouth is also caused by certain medications). ...more
