FAQS

Tooth decay is a disease that occurs due to acid attacks on the enamel and gums of the teeth. It is often associated with poor oral hygiene and the consumption of sugary and acidic foods. Bacteria accumulate on the teeth, converting sugars into acids, which erode the tooth enamel, leading to cavities.

Brushing your teeth is crucial to maintain oral hygiene and prevent dental diseases. Tooth brushing removes bacteria accumulation, known as plaque, on the teeth, prevents gum diseases, and reduces the risk of tooth decay.

The treatment of gum disease can vary depending on the severity of the condition. In the early stages, cleaning of the teeth and gums, along with maintaining regular oral hygiene, may be sufficient. In more advanced cases, treatments such as cleaning of tartar, root surface modifications, or gum surgery may be necessary. The goal of treatment is to control the infection, restore gum health, and preserve the teeth.

Teeth whitening is generally safe but it needs to be done correctly. It involves the use of chemical substances to lighten the color of teeth. When applied by a dentist and following the recommended guidelines, it can be safe. However, excessive whitening or improper application may harm the tooth enamel. It is important to consult with a dentist before undergoing a teeth whitening procedure.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in the jaw to replace lost teeth. Implants are typically made of titanium and are inserted into the jawbone. The implant integrates with the bone, and a prosthetic tooth, usually with a porcelain or ceramic coating, is placed on top. Dental implant treatment is generally completed in multiple stages and involves a surgical procedure. It can be applied to individuals with good oral health and sufficient bone tissue.
