Scaling is a common dental procedure for patients with gum disease. This is a type of dental cleaning that removes plaque buildup. There are two basic methods for scaling teeth.

• Hand Scaling- If your dentist uses handheld instruments; he or she will scrape plaque from the tooth using a metal tool known as a dental scaler and curette. 
• Alternatively, your dentist may choose an ultrasonic instrument to scale your teeth. This features a vibrating metal tip combined with a cool water spray. 
• Dental scaling is typically followed by a procedure known as root cleaning. Root cleaning reaches deeper to address the surface of the tooth’s root. Root cleaning smoothens the surface of the root so the gums can reattach properly.

Before and After Scaling

Before and After Scaling

The following dietary factors are important to prevent dental caries-

• Reduced intake of sweets during the day decreases the number of 'acid attacks' by the digestive breakdown of these foods, thus reducing tooth decay.
• Expectant mothers must be particularly careful with their diet and must make sure that it contains all the necessary nutrients and vitamins, since the foundation of a child's teething is laid early in the second trimester.
• A balanced diet must include all food groups such as fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, cereals as well as other grain products. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, meat, poultry and fish provide the essential nutrients required.

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canals, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed There are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal:

• Severe pain while chewing or biting
• Pimples on the gums
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
• Deep decay

The following procedures constitute a root canal treatment

• The inflamed pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned

• The dentist determines the length of the root canals

• Small wire-like files are then used to clean the entire canal space of diseased pulp tissue and bacteria

• The debris is flushed out with large amounts of an irrigant (normal saline or sodium hypochlorite)

• The canals are also slightly enlarged and shaped to receive an inert (non-reactive) filling material called gutta percha

• The root canals are filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha 

• Afterwards, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection and will continue to function like any other tooth. Since patients are given anesthesia, a root canal isn’t more painful than a regular dental procedure, such as a filling or getting a wisdom tooth removed. 

A dental crown is a type of replacement dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. You will need to make at least two visits:

• The first for the preparation of the tooth, impression, shade taking and fitting the temporary crown;

• The second to fit the permanent crown. The second appointment is scheduled based on the laboratory time required for fabrication of the crowns.

एक दंत क्राउन दंतबहाली का एक प्रकार है जो पूरी तरह से एक दाँत को ढंकता है या घेरता है| जब एक बड़ी गुहा एक दांत के चल रहे स्वास्थ्य को खतरे में डालती है तो  क्राउन की अक्सर जरूरत होती है । वे आमतौर पर एक दंत सीमेंट का उपयोग करके दांत से बंधे होते हैं। 

• आपको कम से कम दो दौरे करने की आवश्यकता होगी, दांत की तैयारी के लिए पहली, छाप, अस्थायी मुकुट लेने और फिटिंग, दूसरी स्थायी ताज फिट करने के लिए। 

• दूसरी नियुक्ति निर्धारित की गई प्रयोगशाला के समय के आधार पर की जाती है|
