What is a Root Canal?

When the inside of your tooth (the pulp) gets infected or damaged, a root canal saves the tooth by removing the infection, cleaning the canals, and sealing them. 🪥✨

It relieves pain, stops infection, and lets you keep your natural smile. 😁 Don’t fear it — it’s better than losing the tooth!

Always brush your teeth

Neglecting oral care during braces treatment can cause irreversible enamel damage, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. 🦷🪥

Wearing braces is a crucial step toward achieving a straight and beautiful smile, but it also requires a higher level of oral care. The brackets and wires create spaces where food particles and plaque can easily accumulate, making it more difficult to clean your teeth properly. If oral hygiene is neglected during orthodontic treatment, it can result in serious problems such as enamel decalcification, tooth decay, and gum inflammation.

Enamel damage appears as white spots around the brackets—early signs of mineral loss that can become permanent. Plaque build-up around the braces can lead to cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas, and increase the risk of gum disease due to chronic inflammation. Over time, this can compromise not only your dental health but also the final results of your orthodontic treatment.

To prevent these complications, it's essential to brush thoroughly after every meal using an orthodontic toothbrush or electric brush, floss daily with special orthodontic aids, and maintain regular professional cleanings. Good oral hygiene is the foundation for a healthy smile—before, during, and after braces.

Dental bridges replace missing teeth. They can restore chewing function, enhance your appearance and improve your oral health. A dental bridge consists of crowns (that fit over your natural teeth on either side of the space) and artificial teeth (that “bridge the gap” in your smile)

Frequent exposure to soft drinks—whose pH typically ranges from 2.7 to 3.5—drives enamel demineralization because enamel begins to dissolve at pH 5.5 and below. Phosphoric acid (in colas) and citric acid (in fruit-flavored sodas) chelate calcium and phosphate ions from hydroxyapatite crystals, weakening the enamel’s structure. Over time, this erosion not only roughens the tooth surface but also predisposes the dentin to further decay and sensitivity . Regular, prolonged consumption without adequate remineralization from saliva or fluoride can lead to irreversible loss of tooth tissue and increased risk of cavities.

Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and polishing, is a dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth. It's typically performed by a dentist or dental hygienist as part of a routine dental check-up, usually recommended every six months. The procedure aims to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems while also improving the cosmetic appearance of your teeth.
