Asked Questions : Daniels Cosmetic Dental Clinic Cochin. |
1. I
have started seeing brown stains on my teeth, what can I do?
Stains maybe of two types, intrinsic (the
ones you have had since childhood) and extrinsic stains, this
is one of the most common conditions seen; this happens because
of some habits like smoking, pan chewing, even from consumption
of iron tonics or a cup of tea!!

a routine checkup every 6 months, this way you can keep

2. I have tooth pain for the past
few days, what should I do?
Most of us think about meeting a dentist
only when we have pain or some other symptoms like broken
tooth or when a swelling appears, well tooth pain maybe because
of several reasons like deep cavities , gum infections ,broken
tooth or secondary caries infection which maybe seen under
a already filled teeth .
Normally if the pain is not severe
or if its just sensitivity, it can be filled normally, if
the cavity is too deep this may need a more sophisticated
approach.
This condition can be solved by a simple procedure called
Root canal treatment, this is an absolutely painless experience
with our expert team of dentists, unlike the common misconception
that root canals are an extremely painful procedure.

4. Toothpaste: when should we begin using
it and how much should we use?
Fluoridated toothpaste should be introduced
when a child is 2-3 years of age. Prior to that, parents should
clean the child's teeth with water and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
When toothpaste is used after age 2-3, parents should supervise
brushing and make sure the child uses no more than a pea-sized
amount on the brush. Children should spit out and not swallow
excess toothpaste after brushing.
5. When I smile my gums looks very prominent,
I don’t feel confident to smile, is there anything we
can do about it?

reciprocated, we do it all the time, but how many of us are
truly happy with it? If you feel good about your smile, you

6. Why Is Root Canal Treatment Called
Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic is a word composed of two
Greek words, "endo" meaning "inside,"
and "odont" meaning "tooth." Endodontics
is that branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis,
prevention, and treatment of diseases that arise from the
soft tissues inside the tooth. These tissues are referred
to as the dental pulp and they occupy the root canal space.
Thus, endodontic treatment is also called root canal treatment.
7. What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a artificial tooth
that is embedded into your jaw permanently. It replaces a
decaying tooth or can replace the space for a missing tooth.
8. What can be done for a single
missing tooth?
In the case of a single missing tooth,
a dental implant can be placed in the jawbone area of the
missing tooth. The implant will serve as a replacement for
a tooth root and an individual crown. The total apparatus
is referred to as a single-tooth implant crown. Once in place,
the implant crown will look, feel, and function like a natural
tooth. They are cleaned and flossed just like natural teeth,
and best of all, they do not require any special tools to
clean around them like bridges. Although dental implants will
not decay, they require impeccable oral hygiene. |
