Sometimes injuries leave the face affected with a possible displacement, breaking or cracking of jaw line or teeth; the situation calls for immediate maxillofacial surgery. Dentists provide modern time tested solutions for treatment of different oral problems and correction of bite or upper-lower jaw alignment apart from in-time preventative and restoring treatments which check cavities, tooth decay, and gum diseases.
Treatments
Damaged teeth are filled or extracted according to the patient's oral status, and for treating deep rooted decay, treatments like root canal are performed. Any treatment is preceded by several tests most common of which is a mouth X-ray and physical exam for assessment of extent of decay. Cosmetic treatments like whitening, use of implants, and placement of crowns, dentures, or bridges are also included.
Latest Technology
Different techniques have been in use for cosmetic enhancement of teeth and gums, and the same goes for corrective surgery of jaw line, teeth alignment, and other structural issues. In fact this stream of treatment has witnessed rapid changes in technology. Scanners using digital technology, computer guided equipment, and laser equipment are being regularly used for different treatments.
Care & Counsel
A dentist extends preventive care to growing children and ageing adults with special care to the age specific needs. As children grow they need to be counseled on correct oral healthcare routine to follow including regular brushing, flossing, and preventing an acidic environment inside the mouth. If they have occlusion issues, these need to be addressed in time to prevent a permanent unshapely alignment.
