RELAX IN OUR LUXURIOUS

Lasers help people who suffer from sensitive teeth. When combined with a fluoride treatment, certain dental lasers can reduce sensitivity for upto 12 months. The effectiveness of this treatment depends on the type of laser used, and varies according to each individual patient. Dental lasers assist in the uptake of fluoride within teeth. These enhanced laser fluoride treatments are longer lasting and provide better protection for your teeth against decay.The laser procedure takes only ten minutes per session and two sessions are more than sufficient to take care of most of the tooth sensitivity problems.

Implants replace missing teeth, including the root. They are implanted in the jaw bones in place of missing teeth.

After a healing period of about 3 months, the titanium implants will be firmly anchored in the bone. This process is called osseointegration.

When the implant is successfully "fused to the bone"? an abutment is screwed onto the implant on which a new tooth in the form of a crown is constructed.

NTI-tss stands for Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition. Nociceptors are nerves that sense and respond when the body is harmed. They tell the brain of impending damage, injury, or irritation. Trigeminal refers to the nerve which has three sensory divisions within the face and neck. The lower case tss stands for tension suppression system.

Full mouth rehabilitation cases are one of the most difficult cases to manage in dental practice. This is because such cases involve not only replacement of the lost tooth structure but also restoring the lost vertical dimensions.

Full mouth reconstruction is basically a set of procedures that are aimed at correcting an improper bite position as well as restoring chipped or worn out teeth. Improper jaw position is implicated in various neuro-muscular disorders as well as in headache and neck ache. Correcting the jaw position not only restores proper function, but also helps in enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the patient.

Oral cancer or oral cavity cancer, a subtype of head and neck cancer, is any cancerous tissue growth located in the oral cavity. It may arise as a primary lesion originating in any of the oral tissues

Bruxism ("gnashing of teeth") is characterized by the grinding of the teeth and is typically accompanied by the clenching of the jaw. It is an oral parafunctional activity that occurs in most humans at some time in their lives.

In most people, bruxism is mild enough not to be a health problem. While bruxism may be a diurnal or nocturnal activity, it is bruxism during sleep that causes the majority of health issues and can even occur during short naps. Bruxism is one of the most common sleep disorders

During sleep, the subconscious processes become active, while the higher control is inactive, resulting in bruxism. Some bruxism activity is rhythmic (like chewing), and some is sustained (clenching). Researchers classify bruxism as a habitual behavior, and a sleep disorder.

It is theorized that certain medical conditions can trigger bruxism, including digestive ailments and anxiety.

Dental bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, is a common procedure in general dentistry but most especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry.

There are many methods to whiten teeth: bleaching strips, bleaching pen, bleaching gel, laser bleaching, and natural bleaching.

Traditionally, at-home whitening involves applying bleaching gel to the teeth using thin guard trays. At-home whitening can also be done by applying small strips that go over the front teeth.

Oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide are used to lighten the shade of the tooth.

Power bleaching uses light energy to accelerate the process of bleaching in a dental office.

The effects of bleaching can last for several months, but may vary depending on the lifestyle of the patient.

Factors that decrease whitening include smoking and the ingestion of dark colored liquids like coffee, tea and red wine.

In dentistry, a veneer is a thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface.

There are two main types of material used to fabricate a veneer, composite and dental porcelain.

Bonding is the application of a tooth-colored composite resin (plastic) to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored tooth. Bonding can be done in a single visit. The procedure is called bonding because the material bonds to the tooth.

Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatmentof malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both.

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth.

smile is considered a "gummy smile" if a significant amount of gingival tissue (gums) can be seen as a person smiles. Although a gummy smile is considered a normal variation of human anatomy, many people with gummy smiles are very self-conscious when smiling. Fortunately, these smiles can be corrected with simple periodontal surgery procedures.

Teeth (singular tooth) are small, calcified ,whitish structures found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates that are used to break down food.

Each tooth has four main parts, including the following:

• ENAMEL -the outermost layer of the tooth, it is the tough, shiny, white outer surface of the tooth
• DENTIN -the inner layer next to enamel and the main part of the tooth..It is hard but porous tissue located under both the enamel and cementum of the tooth. Dentin is harder than bone.
• PULP -the soft center of the tooth. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves; it nourishes the dentin.
• ROOT-that part of the tooth that secures it into the jaw.
• PERIODONTAL MEMBRANE/ LIGAMENT -the fleshy tissue between tooth and the tooth socket; it holds the tooth in place. The fibers of the periodontal membrane are embedded within the cementum.
• CEMENTUM-a layer of tough, yellowish, bone-like tissue that covers the root of a tooth. It helps hold the tooth in the socket. The cementum contains the periodontal membrane

People have two sets of teeth in their lives, the primary teeth which are also called the baby, milk or deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth which are also called the adult or secondary teeth).

Children have 20 primary teeth; they are replaced by the permanent teeth by about age 13. Adults have 32 permanent teeth.

Dental caries , also known as tooth decay or cavity.

It is a disease wherein bacterial processes damage hard tooth structure

These tissues progressively break down, producing dental caries or in simple words cavities, holes in the teeth...

If left untreated, the decay or caries can lead to pain, tooth loss, infection.

Correct brushing technique is also vital. A lot of people brush their teeth too hard, and this damages the calcium surrounding the teeth.

The calcium is what makes your teeth look white so you need to do all you can to look after it. That is why you should use a soft toothbrush and gently let the bristle do the work instead of brushing vigorously.

You should brush the front of your teeth from side to side first and then in a circular motion for a short amount of time. If you follow this advice you will definitely see and improvement in the whiteness of your teeth in the span of a couple of months.

Firstly it is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day and preferably three times. This keeps your teeth clean of plaque and bacteria that can cause staining and/or decay.

It is a good idea to leave brushing your teeth 20 minutes after you have eaten a meal as your teeth are softer after eating, and will therefore damage more easily if you brush immediately after. After brushing you should then floss and rinse your mouth out with mouthwash to get rid of the bacteria in places that brushing can't reach.

Other cancers caused by tobacco include cancer of the pancreas, nasal cavity, urinary tract, oesophagus, pharynx, larynx, intestines and the stomach

Good oral health is an essential component of our overall health.It is even more important for the growing children as oral diseases have implications beyond the mouth and can cause significant general health problems, pain, interference with eating, and lost school time.

Dentists can play an important role in preventing oral diseases by screening risk assessment, preventive care and treatment.They can also form a strong oral health foundation by educating parents and children, the importance of a healthy mouth.

Pit and fissure sealants are clear plastic substances, which protect tooth surfaces, which are more prone to tooth decay from getting affected.

• Persistence of a thumb/finger sucking habit can cause teeth to be pushed, create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problem.
• Many children respond well to counseling and other may need habit breaking appliance to bring them out of the habit.
• Most common habit observed is thumb sucking alongwith others like nail biting, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, etc.
• Major ill effect of this habit for prolonged period of time is change in position of teeth & shape of jaw leading to improper permanent teeth arrangement.

Space maintainers are small appliances which are either fixed or removable type, used to maintain space in the jaws if a milk tooth is lost or removed prematurely.

Endodontic treatment involves involves the nerves and blood vessels in the center of the tooth, called the pulp.

Symptoms that may indicate a need for endodontic treatment include:

• Pain from a tooth during the day or night for no apparent reason
• A tooth that is highly sensitive to temperature changes
• Sensitivity from a broken tooth with exposed pulp

A dental extraction also referred to as exodontia is the removal of a tooth from the mouth..

GINGIVITIS (inflammation of the gum tissue) is a term used to describe non-destructive periodontal disease . The most common form of gingivitis is in response to bacterial bioflim also called plaque adherent to tooth surfaces, termed plaque-induced gingivitis, and is the most common form of periodontal disease.. In the absence of treatment, gingivitis may progress to periodontitis, which is a destructive form of periodontal disease.

A wisdom tooth is in humans any of the usually four third molars Wisdom teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25.

Most adults have four wisdom teeth, but it is possible to have more, in which case they are called supernumerary teeth.

Wisdom teeth commonly affect other teeth as they develop, becoming impacted or "coming in sideways". They are often extracted when this occurs.

Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. , Crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

What are sealant?

• Sealants are thin resin coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth.
• By covering the chewing surfaces of teeth sealants protect the tooth surface by keeping decay causing bacteria out.
• Sealants are painted on as a liquid and quickly harden to form a shield over the tooth.

Importance of placing sealants

• The chewing surfaces of back teeth are rough and uneven because they have small pits and grooves.
• Bacteria can stay in the pits and grooves which can not get cleaned by toothbrush bristles.
• These bacteria can create decay in mouth.
• To prevent decay formation sealants are placed in milk as well as permanent teeth.
• Children should get sealants on their permanent molars as soon as the teeth come in before decay attacks the teeth.
• Teenagers and young adults without decay or fillings in their molars also may get sealants.

• Botulinum toxin, is a natural, purified protein which is used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles.
• It can also be used to treat medical conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
• Botox is the original and best-known brand name and the most tested product
• This treatment is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Botulinum toxin is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) for a short period of time.
• It can also be injected into the area around the side of the eyes to improve the look of moderate to severe crow’s feet lines.
• The treatment of wrinkles with dermal filler will usually involve injecting the naturally occurring product (HA) through a tiny needle.

• Microderm abrasion is a cosmetic procedure for the skin that involves the mechanical abrasion and removal of all or part of the stratum corneum and is used to rejuvenate the skin and to treat skin blemishes or imperfections.
• Microdermabrasion stimulates the production of skin cells and collagen which gives the skin its youthful appearance.
• The results may be subtle, but it is a good alternative for people with skin that is sensitive to chemical peels.
• Chemical Peels provide significant benefits by helping smooth rough, dry skin, improve the texture of sun damaged skin, superficial acne scars, minimizing fine lines and softening deep wrinkles.
