Why do i need dental x ray?
Answered on 25th Apr '23
Dental X-rays are an essential tool for dentists to help diagnose and treat dental problems. They provide valuable information that cannot be seen during a regular dental exam, allowing dentists to detect and monitor issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Here are some common reasons why your dentist may recommend a dental X-ray:
To detect cavities:
can reveal cavities and other hidden dental problems before they become visible to the naked eye. Early detection of cavities can prevent further damage and the need for more extensive dental work.
To evaluate the health of tooth roots and jawbone: X-rays can help detect issues with the roots of teeth, such as infections, bone loss, or other damage that may require treatment.
To assess developing teeth: Dental X-rays are often used to monitor the development and growth of permanent teeth in children, as well as identify potential issues with the eruption of new teeth.
To plan for dental procedures: X-rays can help dentists plan for various dental procedures, such as fillings, root canals, and extractions, ensuring that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.
To identify other dental problems: X-rays can help detect other dental issues, such as impacted teeth, cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities that may not be visible during a regular dental exam.
It is important to note that dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation, and modern digital X-rays further minimize radiation exposure. Your dentist will only recommend X-rays when necessary and will take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety. If you have any concerns or questions about dental X-rays, don't hesitate to ask your dentist.

How long does a root canal last without a crown?
Answered on 15th Mar '24
A root canal is a dental procedure that involves removing infected or damaged tissue from the inner part of a tooth, known as the pulp. After a root canal, it is common for the tooth to require a dental crown to protect and strengthen it.
While a root canal can save a damaged tooth, it is important to understand that without a dental crown, the tooth may be weakened and more prone to fracture or further decay. How long a root canal lasts without a crown can vary depending on various factors such as the tooth's location in the mouth, how much of the tooth's structure was affected, and the patient's oral hygiene habits.
In general, it is not recommended to delay getting a dental crown after a root canal. A dental crown can provide the necessary support and protection to ensure the tooth remains functional and healthy for a long time. Your dentist will typically advise you on the recommended timeline for getting a dental crown after a Root Canal Treatment, and it is important to follow their advice to avoid any potential complications.
If you have already had a root canal without a crown and are experiencing discomfort or notice any changes in the tooth's appearance or sensitivity, I recommend contacting your dentist to discuss the situation and determine if a crown or other treatment may be necessary to maintain your oral health.

Sir I have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis. I have inflammation and pain. Which periodontal disease treatment is suitable for my case? Do I have to remove my tooth also?
Answered on 15th Mar '24
As a Dentist, I can understand your concern regarding the diagnosis of Chronic Generalized Periodontitis. This condition is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the tissues supporting your teeth, including the gums, ligaments, and bone. Without proper treatment, it can lead to tooth loss and other oral health problems.
The good news is that there are effective periodontal treatments available to manage Chronic Generalized Periodontitis. The goal of treatment by dentist is to remove the bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar) that accumulate on the teeth and roots, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
Periodontal treatment usually involves non-surgical and/or surgical procedures. Non-surgical procedures include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), which involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline, and sometimes laser therapy or antibiotics. Surgical procedures may include flap surgery, bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration, or gum grafting.
Whether or not your teeth need to be removed will depend on the severity of your condition and how well it responds to treatment. In some cases, advanced periodontal disease may require extraction of one or more teeth. However, this is usually a last resort when all other treatment options have been exhausted.
It is important to note that periodontal disease is a chronic condition, and ongoing maintenance and monitoring will be necessary to prevent further damage and maintain your oral health. This may include regular periodontal cleanings, frequent dental check-ups, and a good home oral hygiene routine.
I recommend that you schedule an appointment with a periodontist to discuss your individual case and treatment options. With proper care, it is possible to manage Chronic Generalized Periodontitis and maintain a healthy smile.
