Prosthodontics
A crown
is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth.
Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a
tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement.
A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
- To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
- To cover a dental implant
A bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is
a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining permanently to
adjacent teeth. A bridge is fabricated by reducing the teeth on either side of
the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location
of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated.

is broken down with input from only the best oral experts.

of fluoridated toothpaste. Keep a rinsing cup and mouthwash on standby.
Start the cleaning process from the back most
molars and remember to keep the bristles at a 45 degree angle to the teeth, and
it is important to go in circles for approximately 20 seconds.
After the 20 seconds of circular motion, make a
sweeping motion in order to remove any plaque or food remains that you may have
missed.
Continue working in a clockwise direction, ending
with the lower molars on your left side. Repeat step two and three for the
inside surface of the upper and lower molars. Also follow through to the front
surfaces of your teeth.
Using a flicking motion, clean the backside of each
of the enamels, do this about 2-3 times in order to clean optimally.
Like in the previous step, use a flicking motion
and repeat the same for the lower teeth.
Known as the biting area, brush in a circular
motion, well, so that residue food which may remain will be displaced cleanly.

Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment is used
to repair and save badly decayed teeth. Spontaneous pain when biting,
heightened sensitivity to hot and cold foods and severe tooth decay are signs
that a root canal treatment may be necessary. Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy is a sequence of treatment for the infected pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and the
protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial
invasion. The procedure of Root Canal or endodontictreatment includes removal of the infected or damaged pulp from the diseased
tooth. After that the hollow pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, filled
and sealed. This set of procedures is commonly referred to as a root canal.
The most
common causes of pulp damage or death are:
- A cracked tooth
- A deep cavity
- An injury to a tooth, such as a severe knock to the tooth, either recent or in the past.
Once the
pulp is infected or dead, if left untreated, pus can build up at the root tip
in the jawbone, forming an abscess. An abscess can destroy the bone surrounding
the tooth and cause pain
