Fine Feather Dental - Ahmedabad dental clinic, Root canal treatment

  Has your tooth ever been chipped, cracked, decayed or damaged? You are not alone. Millions of teeth are treated and saved from extraction through root canal treatment. It is the last line of defense when it comes to saving a tooth that has been severely damaged by tooth decay. Root canal has always been the treatment of choice, when you develop a severe infection involving your natural tooth’s pulp. When the tooth begins to decay, root canal treatment helps by removing the inflamed /infected interior of the tooth. While performing this procedure , the professional dentist will thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canal  of your tooth. He will apply medication to address the infection and seal the tooth with a rubber-like material. A crown is often used to protect the newly repaired tooth. This entire process takes almost an hour and patients aren’t allowed to chew for a few days until the tooth gets completely healed. So if you are somehow ignoring dental hygiene, your t...

  Prevention is better than cure, any day. Similarly, Preventive dentistry is always better than restorative dentistry! Dental sealants or pit and fissure sealants are the heroes of preventive dentistry. In most cases when you get decayed, you get a dentist to do a filling for you. However, fillings are considered restorative applications. A filling is used to repair the damage that has already occurred in the tooth, usually from dental decay. Once a decayed spot is discovered, a preventative filling cannot be placed. Both dental fillings and dental sealants are being used by a dentist to treat the teeth. But, a sealant can be used only if your tooth structure has not been compromised, in the first place.  Sealants, on the other hand, are preventive. These sealants allow your tooth structure to remain intact and to keep your teeth as strong as possible. Dental sealants are thin coatings that can prevent cavities (tooth decay) for several years. A sealant can be placed on a too...

We want our patients to enjoy strong, healthy teeth for their entire lives. But that does not mean you have to give up soda completely. THE SCIENCE : (SODA V/S TEETH)        When you drink soda, the sugar combines with bacteria in your mouth to form acid, which attacks teeth. Diet or sugar-free soda still contains its own acid, which also can damage teeth. HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF :       Each acid attack lasts about 20minutes and starts again with every sip of soda you take. Repetitive, ongoing acid attacks weaken tooth enamel. Kids and teens are more susceptible to tooth decay because their tooth enamel isn't fully developed. The 3 types of acids commonly found in soda are : 1) Citric acid: present in citrus flavouring sodas 2) Phosphoric acid: give...
