CROWN LENGTHENING:

Crown lengthening procedure is to improve a "gummy" smile because your teeth appear short. Your teeth may actually be the proper lengths, but they're covered with too much gum tissue.

During the dental crown lengthening procedure, excess gum tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile.

GUM SURGERY:

Sometimes gum recession causes the tooth root to become exposed, which makes your teeth look long. This recession can happen as a result of a variety of causes, including periodontal diseases.

Gum graft surgery and other root coverage procedures are designed to cover exposed roots, to reduce further gum recession and to protect roots from decay.

In excessive gingival recession cases, gum grafts are used to cover the roots or develop gum tissue.

LASER GUM DEPIGMENTATION:

Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching, is a procedure used to lighten or remove black spots or patches on the gums caused by melanin.

FRENECTOMY:

A labial frenectomy is a form of frenectomy performed on the lip.

The labial frenum often attaches to the center of the upper lip and between the upper two front teeth. This can cause a large gap and gum recession by pulling the gums off the bone. A labial frenectomy removes the labial frenum  and help with closing a front tooth gap.

Root canal treatment

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

A ‘Root Canal Treatment' is used to repair and save a tooth that is decayed or become infected. During root canal procedure, the infected pulp is removed and inside of tooth is cleaned and sealed.

Without treatment, tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected, resulting in pus formation known as ‘abscess ‘.

AFTER THE ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Procedure:

Signs you may need root canal therapy includes:

FRACTURED TEETH

SEVERE PAIN OR SENSITIVITY

DISCOLORED TOOTH

A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums.

                 

DEEP DENTAL CARIES

DECAY ON FRONT TEETH

Prevention:

The necessity of a root canal procedure can be easily avoided by preventing cavities, early detection of cavities, sealants and fillings. In case the tooth is already affected, then a root canal treatment must be carried out without any delay.

Correction of malaligned teeth without braces

INVISIBLE ALIGNERS

Everybody wants a perfect smile with beautifully aligned teeth. But sometimes to do that you need orthodontic correction of teeth. Many patients specially adults shy away from braces because of various factors. Now-a-days it is possible to correct the alignment of teeth without the traditional metal wires and braces. It is done by using Invisalign/ Invisible aligners.

They are not like traditional braces. There are no wires, brackets or elastics. Invisible braces are a series of removable clear aligners that move the teeth like traditional braces. These aligners are customized individually for the patients according to their treatment plan. The aligners are changed for every 2 weeks to get the desired result.

Advantages of Invisible braces over traditional braces-

·         No metal – These clear aligners replace the metal wires and brackets so no metal is visible during the treatment. Most people won’t know that you are having orthodontic treatment. So patients feel more confident socially and at the workplace. 

·         Comfort – If for any reason, the wearer of teeth aligners wishes to remove them for brief periods of time (to eat or drink), he or she may easily do so.
          Diet - There is no restrictions in diet but in traditional braces sticky and hard foods to be avoided.
·         Less chances of caries- The brackets of conventional braces can often have plaque buildup that results in caries. Clear aligners do not cause any caries in teeth.

·         Better gum health- Invisible braces allow you to brush and floss teeth normally. So the patient has healthy gums and teeth as compared to the traditional braces that make gums sore and are difficult to clean.

·         Duration of treatment- The time taken to complete the treatment with Invisalign is less than the duration of traditional braces.

Cavities to milk tooth

DENTAL CARIES IN DECIDUOUS TEETH

Tooth decay begins as a superficial lesion which appears as a white spots on the tooth enamel. However, if no appropriate treatment is given early, the decay may development into a deep cavity inside the tooth, penetrate into its tissues and cause inflammatory process. Dental caries mostly affects the teeth that perform the masticatory function, upper milk incisors.

CAUSES: 

• Poor oral hygiene.
• Excess consumption of carbohydrates.
• Continuous use of pacifiers and feeding bottles in night.
• Fluoride deficiency in child's nutrition.
  

SYMPTOMS:

• White or brown spots which cannot be washed away.
• Unpleasant feeling while eating.
• Child chews food only with one side of teeth may be an indicator of toothache.
  
  
  
  

  

  EARLY DECAY- WHITE SPOT LESION

  
  

  

  MODERATE DECAY

  
  

  

  SEVERE DECAY

TREATMENT:

If carious part doesn't involve soft tissues, called pulp, filling alone is enough to save the tooth.

If caries involve inner soft tissue, then the carious part of the tooth and soft tissues that are infected by bacteria, are cleaned then sterilised & filled. This process called as pulpectomy. This procedure followed by a crown

Thus, the treated deciduous tooth will be functional until it is replaced by the permanent tooth.

PREVENTION:

• Start brushing your kids teeth when first tooth erupts in the mouth.
• Well balanced nutrition.
• Make sure that sufficient amount of fluoride is there in drinking water.
• Regular dental examinations for every 6 months.
