Porcelain Fillings known as inlays or onlays are the best way to keep your teeth looking natural when fixing large cavities. In addition to looking much more natural than other options, porcelain fillings provide a longer lasting solution to cavities. They also reduce the sensitivity of teeth because they don’t transmit the temperature from foods or drinks as quickly as other materials which are used. Make an appointment at our clinic in order to explore the filling options available for your tooth.
Causes of Yellow Teeth
Do you want to know what causes yellow teeth? The first well known reason is the foods and drinks that stain them directly.The second less commonly known reason is acids in certain foods and particularly drinks that wear away your teeth’s white enamel coating. When it is at its thickest, tooth enamel, the outer layer, is naturally white. Unfortunately as it is worn down it becomes translucent and starts to show through to the next layer of the tooth underneath called dentin. Some of the foods that are acidic and cause stain are Black tea, Sugary sweets, Red Wine, Cigarettes, Tobaco, Cola, Soda and certain fruit juices. Make an appointment with us to get your teeth cleaned and whitened.
Benefits of Fluoride
Did you know kids can benefit from more fluoride exposure? Fluoride is a mineral that helps teeth become more resistant to decay (cavities). You can help prevent your child from getting cavities by making sure they drink fluoridated water and brush at least twice daily with fluoridated toothpaste. For many children, this daily fluoride exposure is enough to protect them from new cavities. Make an appointment with us to know more about the benefits of fluoride.
Brush your tongue to prevent bad breath!

What are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of back teeth (the premolars and molars) to prevent tooth decay. They can protect teeth from decay for a few years, but they need to be checked for chipping or wearing at regular dental check-ups. Fix an appointment at Acharya Dental to get a thorough dental check-up.
Get a crown for your damaged tooth
When a piece of a tooth’s chewing surface breaks off, often around a filling, it is known as a fractured cusp. It rarely damages the pulp, and usually doesn’t cause much pain. But it is best that you get a crown placed over the damaged tooth to protect it to prevent problems in the future. Visit our dental center to get a crown for your damaged tooth.
Did you know that cavities develop faster during the night time than the day?
During the day, the constant movement of the tongue and saliva prevent bacteria from staying in our mouth and causing cavities, whereas during the night time there is very less movement and almost no saliva. While you sleep, the bacteria residing in the mouth feed on the foods present in the mouth and release acids that cause tooth decay. Make an appointment with our dentist to learn more about cavity prevention methods.
