Plaque is a soft sticky layer of germs that can form on teeth, over time. Plaque buildup causes cavities which make the dental condition more critical. Hence it is advised to keep plaques away with regular check ups
Children’s Dental Care
It is advised that children visit a dentist around 6 months after the appearance of his/her first set of teeth. Ensure that either one or both parents accompany the toddler to create a comforting environment. Our trained team of doctors help create a fun, fear-free dental visit for your little one!
A Flowering toothbrush
A ‘flowering toothbrush! ‘ Do you know what that is? Read on… A brand new toothbrush feels and looks new. The tufts are in an even row. Your mouth feels clean and plaque free after you brush. A month later the bristle tips get softer and the rows seem to be wider. Cleaning is not so effective. Three to four months later, it happens. The brush flowers open and now there is no control on where these will go when you brush your teeth. As a result, the tooth brush loses its effectiveness and your gums may get injured. So how often should you change your brush ? Once in 3- 4 months is a good practice. If your brush gets frayed earlier it may be a warning that your technique is too aggressive and you may be wearing down your enamel or hurting your gums. Look at your toothbrush once in a while and make an educated guess as to when you need to get a new one.
Calcium for healthy teeth
The inclusion of milk and other dairy products in your diet is vital for healthy teeth. Calcium is the key ingredient in a mineral called hydroxyapatite that helps strengthen tooth enamel while cheese is rich in a protein called casein that helps stabilize and repair tooth enamel. Ensure that you and your loved ones consume a calcium rich diet for good healthy teeth.
Toothache? Aspirin is not going to help.
It’s a common misconception that placing crushed asprin next to an aching teeth can help reduce the pain. Not only does the asprin do nothing to reduce the toothache but it can also leave a chemical burn on the cheek and gums adjacent to the tooth. A toothache is often a symptom of a deeper problem.

Teeth Tartar
Calcified or hardened plaque that attaches itself to the enamel of your teeth is called tartar. Unlike regular plaque, tartar can be easily seen because it forms a yellow or brownish deposit below the gum line. Once formed, tartar can only be completely removed by a professional dentist through a process called scaling. Click here to request an appointment https://acharyadental.net/request-an-appointment/
Dental Visit
Regular visits to the dentist are a must! Visits to the dental clinic should not determined by the pain that you experience in your teeth. Cavities occur under the surface and are not visible to the naked eye. Decay can damage the nerve in a tooth and hence big cavities also get missed.

Care for gums bleeding
People often refrain from brushing once they notice their gums bleeding. Gums bleed due to the inflammation caused by leaving plaque on the teeth. Hence brushing and flossing regularly is the only way to make gums heal and become healthy again. Visit https://acharyadental.net/ for the best dental care for your teeth and gums.
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.
