It is very important to monitor the health of the primary teeth. Neglected cavities can and frequently do lead to problems which affect developing permanent teeth. Primary teeth or baby teeth are important for proper chewing and eating, providing space for the permanent teeth and guiding them into the correct position and permitting normal development of the jaw bones and muscles. Primary teeth also affect the development of speech and add to an attractive appearance.

For patients who have lot of decay, the pediatric dentist may recommend extra fluoride, either as tablets or drops, or as a varnish painted onto the teeth. A pediatric dentist can also seal off the decay before it happens, by applying pit and fissure sealants on the tooth surface.

Nothing is as good as a natural tooth! And sometimes your natural tooth may need root canal treatment for it to remain a healthy part of your mouth. If you've been told you need root canal treatment, you can find the answers to your questions below.

Why would I need an (RCT) procedure?
It is necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.

What are the signs of needing root canal treatment?
Signs to look for include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, tenderness to touch and chewing, discoloration of the tooth, swelling, drainage and tenderness in the lymph nodes as well as nearby bone and gingival tissues.

How does Root Canal treatment save the tooth?
The dentist removes the inflamed or infected pulp, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the canal, a channel inside the root, then fills and seals the space. Afterwards, the dentist will place a crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth.

Will the tooth need any special care or additional treatment after Root canal treatment?
You should not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have had it restored by your dentist. The unrestored tooth is susceptible to fracture, so you should see your dentist for a full restoration as soon as possible.

A Dental Implant is nothing more than a titanium screw that is placed into the jaw bone. It acts as the root of your missing tooth and anchors the false tooth or a set of false teeth. Once an implant with a false tooth or teeth is perfectly constructed neither the patient nor anyone else will have any hint that an implant is there. All people will see is the tooth! Moreover implants are very durable and can last a lifetime. They require the same maintenance as natural teeth, this includes brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups.
