The Happy Bride

Brides-to-be usually look radiant and happy. This was not the case with Rehana* who walked into Acharya Dental three days before her wedding. She was very unhappy with the gaps between her teeth. She had always been conscious of them but with the many photographs being taken at this time she realized that they were too obvious and marred her smile.

Did we have a solution ? We decided on the fastest and easiest way of solving her problem. Quick, with no downtime . In a single session, we closed the gaps with Nanotechnology based Hybrid composite resin and used a method called light assisted bonding. See the results for yourself. Rehana’s smile was transformed into the confident smiling bride she wanted to be on her special day.

All the best, Rehana. Congratulations from team Acharya Dental!

Knocked-out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth should be picked up by the chewing surface and not by the root. If dirty, the tooth should be gently washed in warm water without scrubbing or drying it with a cloth. The tooth should then be ideally placed in milk and kept moist at all times. As the next step, one should visit the dentist immediately. Visit our clinic for timely help.

Effects of Alcohol

We know that alcohol affects our system and is linked to many diseases. Have you thought of its effect on your mouth? Alcohol erodes the enamel of teeth, which is further worsened by vomiting in heavy drinkers. The acids in the stomach can wear away the teeth and cause darkening and sensitivity. Frequent drinking also affects the gums. Gum disease, sores and ulcers do not heal fast and blood clots do not form quickly after an injury or extraction.This may make minor gum procedures or tooth extractions very complicated.

Oral cancer is the most serious dental problem for chronic heavy drinkers. Alcohol does not directly cause cancer but such people are more vulnerable to the effects of known cancer causing agents such as smoking and chewing tobacco. Alcohol can be fun in moderation and makes for great light-hearted evenings in our stressed lives. It has become the fabric that is woven into all sections of society, we cannot deny that. As long as we are aware and informed about the risks, we are safe.

Tipplers, beware. Sometimes a little could become too much!

Dental X-rays

Dental X-rays involve passing electromagnetic radiation through the jaw to produce images of the structures inside. The dental technician places a protective apron over your chest. Next, the X-ray sensor or film is placed in the patient’s mouth for capturing the picture. X-rays can detect cavities, erupting teeth, jaw position, and gum disease. The amount of radiation exposure with digital dental radiography is extremely low and even multiple x-rays are considered safe for the patient.
