Crooked
 Alignment and Spacing
 Protruding
Irregular

Wisdom tooth is nothing but the third molar and seen last teeth to surface. Generally, there are four wisdom teeth present, one at each end of the arch. A wisdom tooth usually erupts at an age of 16 to 20 but sometimes it may erupt early or late. If your wisdom teeth is troubling you then you should visit DR. Kamana Vijay Rai  Varalika dental clinic as early as possible where the treatment is done by wisdom tooth removal specialists in Ranchi.

What does it mean when wisdom tooth erupt?

When the tooth moves into the oral cavity through gums, it is called eruption. Sometimes, it erupts completely without interfering the adjacent tooth, soft tissue or bite, but in some cases it erupts partially, disturbing the bite and soft tissue. It happens because of the short jaw as the tooth does not have enough room for the third molars as a result of which they develop wrongly and become ‘impacted’. The Impacted tooth has to be removed as it will cause infection to the adjacent tooth and tissue.

Is it like, every Wisdom Tooth has to be removed?

No, Not really! If the tooth erupts correctly in the mouth, and does not cause any discomfort to the adjacent tooth or gums then there is no need to be removed. However, it might need to be extracted in cases it causes you any discomfort. We recommend an early evaluation at an age of 15th-17th or even earlier if there is the pain.

When do I need get my Wisdom Tooth Removed?

If the wisdom tooth can’t erupt properly, there it needs to be removed or else it may result in several oral problems. Some of the symptoms you experience are:

 Food lodgment between the teeth
 Jaw pain
 Inability to chew
 Swollen gum around the tooth
 Bad breath
 Fowl test
 Difficulty in mouth opening
 Cavity formation
 Cyst formation within the bone

Say the word - root canal treatment in Ranchi and most patients pale a couple of shades. The pain/discomfort of an RCT is so well known that hardly anybody is willing to undergo the procedure without a great deal of coaxing.

However an root canal treatment is lifesaving - for your tooth of course. Basically an root canal treatment allows you to retain a tooth in your mouth and serve you for a good many more years. The only other alternative to treating a tooth indicated for an root canal treatment is to remove it(extract) it. Many patients think (erroneously) that removing a tooth is the easy and cheaper way out. However not only are they wrong about it being the shortcut - it generally turns out to be more expensive too.

A natural tooth is a natural tooth - ask anyone who has had to live with artificial teeth. Therefore every extra bit of effort that is taken to save a natural tooth is worth it. If your tooth is indicated for an root canal treatment - get it done Today.

Service Details :

A Dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root & commonly it is screw or cylinder shape made of titanium.

The implant procedure does not take much time, during the treatment the implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at a precise location of the intended tooth. Once fitted, these implants provided foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.

If you are missing just one natural tooth, then all it will need is a single implant to provide a replacement. However, larger space that are created by two, three or more missing teeth does not necessarily needs one implant per tooth, however the exact number of implants will be depend upon the quality & volume of bone at each potential implant site.

Even if you have no teeth at all, you now have the opportunity to have complete set of fully fixed teeth with as minimum as 4 implants in the jaw. If you want to get done your dental implant treatment in  Ranchi, then we recommend to visit us for Dental Implant Treatment in a day.

With a certain number of implants, decided by your jaw size & few other factors, fixed teeth are possible precluding the need to the typical removable set of dentures which are not only uncomfortable to begin with but highly inconvenient, considering that they must be removed every night, stored in water & cleaned outside the mouth.

Service Details :

A crown or a cap is used to protect the tooth structure after root canal treatment whereas a bridge is prepared to replace missing teeth. Many patients are unaware that many artificial caps and crowns made of metal or lined with metal have a nickel component. Since precious alloys are used much less these days - most metal caps/crowns/bridges are made with what is called in local slang - 'white metal'. White metal would mean combinations of alloys like cobalt -chromium, nickel chromium and/or others.

Nickel is a metal which causes allergies quite frequently. If you are wearing artificial jewelry causes skin reactions- there is a likelihood that your gum may react the same way (though most gum allergies are relatively more subdued than skin reactions). However there is a way to eliminate the use of nickel and those are 'All ceramic crowns'. These basically are crowns which do not have any metal component whatsoever - much less nickel. This means that the surface closest to your gum will be of the same friendly material as the rest of the tooth.

The next time you visit your dentist - ask about metal free crowns. Do remember when a dentist talks about a 'ceramic crown' he most likely means "METAL CERAMIC'. This means the outer layer is ceramic but the part of the crown that touches your tooth and is closest to your gum is METAL. Many patients walk into the clinic and claim that they have ceramic crowns - a simple examination is enough to tell the difference.

Another common mistake or misunderstanding is with the term - "METAL FREE crowns". Again - metal free does not necessarily mean ALL CERMIC. It may mean Acrylic (PLASTIC) which is neither long lasting nor as friendly to your gum as an all ceramic.

Gum disease pictures the infection, swelling & soreness of the gums because of bacterial growth. The primary reason is plaque build-up which has not been removed carefully during brushing and flossing. This forms calculus & bacterial growth followed by destroying the healthy gums surrounding your teeth. If left untreated, it results in underlying bone infection causing teeth to become loose and even fall out.

What are the types of Gum Disease?

Gingivitis

This is the mild form of inflammation of the gums caused by the development of plaque along the gum line. In this condition, the bone surrounding & supporting the teeth is not affected.

Periodontal Disease

If gingivitis is ignored & not treated on time, it results in Periodontitis. At this stage infection of the gum tissue spreads to the inner attachments of the teeth such as surrounding bone and the tooth supporting tissue. This results in shifting or loosening of teeth which eventually fall or need to remove by a dentist.

How to know if I’m having a gum disease?

If you are suffering from gum problems, you can find some common symptoms listed below:

 Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
 Red, tender or swollen gums
 Reducing gum line
 Bad breath
 Pus between teeth and gums
 Loose teeth

What can you do if you have above symptoms?

Even if you have any of the above symptoms, it is not necessary that you are suffering from a gum problem. We would recommend you to consult us, so that we can do the diagnosis and suggest you if any treatment is required.

What are the treatment options?

The treatment option depends on the severity of problem. Sometimes you may be advised some medications or we may advise you treatment options like Deep Teeth Cleaning, Gingival Curettage but it’s difficult to suggest without checking your oral health status.

If you have any doubt, feel free to consult us.

There are two options for teeth whitening 1st is to get it done at dental clinic and 2nd at home. Out of the two you can get in-office whitening that gives faster results as it’s done with more powerful whitening gel compared to at home treatment.

However, few might need to wear the mouthpiece for a longer period.

The bleaching effect totally depends on your eating and brushing habits. If you maintain a good oral hygiene and avoid food that cause staining then you won’t need treatment for years.

There can be some conditions where you might have to go for it in short intervals. We will be able to guide you on what is best suitable for you during the consultation.

What are side effects of Tooth Bleaching?

Some patients might experience sensitivity immediately after the treatment is done. However it is subjective and vanishes automatically in few days without any medication in most of the cases.

Its 21st Century, Silver Filling is now obsolete. We use a composite (white) filling is used to treat a decayed tooth which is as strong as silver amalgam and no one can figure out if the tooth is treated or not. The material is inserted into the tooth where it then prevents the further spread of decay or repairs any damage.

The composite white filling is a synthetic combination of acrylic resin and glass which has a white color thereby enabling it to match the color of the tooth. This is also chosen for aesthetic reasons as many people prefer to have fillings which match the rest of their teeth rather than the distinctive silver filling. Composite white fillings have a natural color which is similar to the color of your natural teeth and so blends it well with them. ..

Dental porcelain in right hands can make for spectacular tooth imitations by mimicking tooth enamel perfectly.

Porcelain veneers within reason allow for the alteration of tooth position, shape, size & color. They require a minimal amount of tooth preparation (approximately 0.5 mm of the surface enamel) – and are, therefore, a more conservative restoration than a crown. Although not the only alternative for all aesthetic abnormalities, they are truly a remarkable restoration when they are treatment of choice.

Though Veneers can be fabricated in composite too - the preferred material is ceramic hence the rest of this discussion shall be keeping in mind porcelain veneers.
