• Due to lack of proper oral hygiene habits such as
  eating food and drinks that contain high amounts
  of sugar and then not brushing your teeth
  properly and regularly, the teeth start to decay.
  Sugary foods and drinks contain acid that wears
  away the enamel and causes cavities.
• The tooth is damaged because of trauma

  due to trauma for example by a sports injury, or
  by any mishap. The accident could be of a
  high-intensity and might have a direct impact on
  your teeth that damages it. In such cases where

Everything you need to know about Gum Contouring

• How Gum Contouring Works
• Gum countering, also known as gingival
  re-contouring or tissue sculpting, is a cosmetic
  dental procedure, which is used to shape uneven
  gums. It is mostly used to treat the overgrown or
  uneven gum tissue.
• In most cases, your gums after the procedure are
  healthier as the pocket depths of spaces that are
  formed between your gums and teeth are narrower,
  which makes it easier to clean and reduce the
  chances of plague.
• If your periodontist concludes that simple
  contouring is not sufficient to correct your gum
  line, they may suggest you crown lengthening. It
  is a procedure where part of the gum, and in some
  cases the underlying bone, is removed in order to
  change the anatomy of your teeth. If the surgery
  involves the alteration of bone, it will require
  stitches and the duration of recovery will
  generally be longer compared to a typical gum
  contouring.

Everything you need to know about Gum Contouring

• Is it painful?
• With the latest technology, the gum contouring
  does not require a tedious surgical process,
  therefore, becomes a fairly pain free procedure.
• Recovery
• After the procedure, your surgeon may instruct
  you to wear a dressing over the affected area for
  a week, sometimes longer. The possible symptoms
  that you may experience include tooth
  sensitivity, pain, or minor swelling, however,
  they are temporary and go away as soon as your
  new gum line is healed.
• You must also avoid cigarette and alcohol for a
  few days and use a straw to consume your
  beverages. Also, you may only eat certain foods
  that are suggested by your dentist or oral
  surgeon until your gum line is fully recovered.
  Moreover, you must also give consideration to
  your brushing technique and strictly follow your
  dentists advice to ensure you do not hurt your
  treated area of the gum.

What are the benefits of Laser Dentistry?

• Minimal Surrounding Tissue Damage.
• As the laser beam is focused on a highly precise
  area, cuts are extremely conservative, which
  reduces the damage to the soft tissues
  surrounding the affected area. It also results in
  less amount of swelling after the procedure.
• Minimal Bleeding.
• The laser beam contains a high form of energy,
  which facilitates coagulating blood vessels
  during treatment, significantly reducing the
  amount of blood loss.

What are the benefits of Laser Dentistry?

• Reduced Risk of Bacterial Infection.
• The laser beams also sterilize the affected area,
  which consequently reduces the risk of bacterial
  infection, saving you from future trouble and
  sufferings.
• Reduced Usage of Anesthesia.
• Dental lasers are specifically designed to
  operate without pressure, heat, or vibration,
  which means the procedure is pain-free. This
  eliminates the requirement of anesthesia in most
  of the procedures.
• Minimum Trauma to Teeth.
• Laser treatments do not involve risks such as
  hairline cracks in the teeth surface, which is
  often experienced while using high-speed drills.
  This means that the risk of small fractures which
  may require future dental work to fix is
  considerably low.

Importance of Dental Filling

• Reduces Pain and Sensitivity
• If you have teeth with cavities, you will find
  yourself being more sensitive to foods that are
  hot and cold. If you delay or procrastinate your
  dentist appointment for a filling, in a matter of
  time you will start to feel uncomfortable
  whenever you will eat cold or hot foods. In case
  if the cavity grows in size and starts touching a
  nerve, or even and reveals the dentine, that is
  the tooths inner part, you will suffer from
  continuous discomfort and pain.
• Prevents the Extent of Decay
• If you delay getting your cavities filled, the
  decay will persist and grow in size, making its
  way deeper and deeper in the affected tooth. When
  your dentist discovers the decay, its best to get
  a filling right away so the cavity does not grow
  further and cause you other problems.

Importance of Dental Filling

• Restores the Power of Your Tooth
• In case if you leave the cavity in your teeth
  untreated, it will continue to grow and
  eventually form a hole in the crater. Once the
  decay starts to spread, you will notice your
  teeth getting weaker and thinner. This will
  eventually lead to your teeth to crack and you
  will notice small chips of your teeth in your
  mouth. There may even be some extreme cases where
  the cavity starts to grow further and affect the
  tissues and nerves in your teeth. It may even be
  the case where the nearby teeth start to get
  affected and damaged. That is why it is better to
  get your fillings done on time.
• Avoids Infection
• If the tooth decay is left exposed for a long
  time, it will start to change into an infection.
  In case if it does happen, you will feel an
  intense amount of pain. At this point, it may be
  too late to get a dental filling and your dentist
  may eventually suggest getting the affected tooth
  extracted.

Why Is Root Planning and Scaling Necessary for
Your Teeth

• In the case of nearly every gum disease, the root
  cause is the formation of plaque. Plaque is a
  solid bacteria film that initiates due to teeth
  not being cleaned thoroughly and properly. This
  is one of the reasons why you should be aware of
  proper brushing techniques. Ask your dentist to
  teach you the correct way to brush and floss so
  you are able to take care of your teeth the right
  way.
• With the formation of plaque, the gums starts
  residing from the teeth. This leads to the
  creation of spaces in which the plaque is easily
  trapped. Once trapped, it is next to impossible
  to brush the plaque away. You will have to
  schedule a scaling appointment with your dentist.
  If the plaque is left untreated, it will
  eventually lead to bone and tooth loss.
