Dentistry
in India has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last two
decades. Now we are in an age of Preventive Dentistry where,
by means of SIX MONTHLY CHECK-UPS we can prevent untimely
loss of teeth due to tooth decay. The time when people only
visited the dentist when they had a tooth ache is long gone.
Some
Salient Points
With the advent of root canal treatment most decayed
teeth can be
salvaged and preserved.
With the use of fixed bridges and dental implants missing
teeth are
being replaced permanently.
Discoloured teeth can be made to look white and attractive
again.
Oral cancer if detected early can be treated successfully.
Prominent jaws can be treated with surgery to get good
cosmetic
results.
Fractured jaws are now treated with mini plates thus
avoiding having
to wire them together for 6 weeks.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics specializes in the prevention and correction of
dental and facial irregularities. Crooked and crowded teeth
are hard to clean and maintain, leading to tooth decay, gum
disease and tooth loss. An attractive smile wins a lot of
hearts and is a vital asset to ones self confidence. A
persons self esteem often improves as treatment brings
teeth, lips and face into proportion. Thus, orthodontic
treatment can benefit social and career success as well as
improve ones general attitude towards life.
