Does Silver Diamine Fluoride treatment can be prescribed to adults. As is there any clinic in kolkata which provides silver diamine fluoride treatment.

Asked anonymously on 24th June, 2022 at 12:18 pm

silver diamine fluoride can be used but it stains the tooth. so not recommended. older generation can still use it, those who cannot afford costly dental treatment

you can switch to strontium based tooth pastes

Dr. Suhrab Singh

The top front teeth of my mouth were given crowns for cosmetic reasons last year. My upper canines are now in continual agony. A dentist performed an examination and x-rays, and it was discovered that the teeth were infected. When my teeth are covered with crowns and I brush them every day, how can they get infected? Is there a problem with the crowns?

Asked anonymously on 23rd June, 2022 at 3:00 pm

I'll need an xray to confirm this & clincal examination is needed to comment on this further.

you require to visit a local dentist & get a deep subgingival scaling done. if the issue of bleeding gums is not resolved with it then further procedure needs to be carried out.

for yellow teeth , teeth whitening can be performed.
