Reimplantation of an Avulsed Tooth – Save it. Don’t lose it. Reimplant it.

Image
  A tooth that gets completely knocked out of the mouth is called an   avulsed tooth . Many people assume that once the tooth is out, it is lost forever. However, this is not true. If managed correctly and quickly, the natural tooth can often be reimplanted back into its original position, allowing it to function normally again. Time is the most critical factor. The sooner the tooth is placed back into the socket, the higher the success rate. If immediate reimplantation is not possible, the tooth should be kept moist in milk, saline, or the patient’s own saliva — never allowed to dry. At our clinic, our Expert Team of  Specialist Endodontists  is trained in the advanced procedure of reimplantation of avulsed teeth. The method involves  cleaning, Root Canal Treatment , reposition, and stabilize the natural tooth inside the socket,to help preserve its long-term health. Saving your own natural tooth is always the best option when possible. If an accident occurs, st...

How Gum Treatment Restores Oral Health and Prevents Tooth Loss

Image
Gum treatment addresses gum disease, a common infection caused by plaque and tartar buildup that leads to inflammation (gingivitis) and, if untreated, more serious periodontitis. This condition affects the supporting structures of the teeth and can eventually lead to tooth loss if not properly managed. Treatment options vary based on the stage of the disease, from non-surgical deep cleaning to surgical procedures for advanced cases. For early-stage gingivitis, treatment focuses on a  professional dental cleaning , which removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. This, combined with improved at-home oral hygiene like regular brushing and flossing, can reverse the condition and restore gum health. If the disease has progressed to  periodontitis , which involves bone and tissue loss, more involved treatments are needed. Common Gum Treatment Options Scaling and root planing:  A deep cleaning procedure performed under local anesthesia to remove bacteria and s...

Chemical Peeling 101: Best Peels for Acne, Pigmentation & Aging

Image
Battling acne, dark spots, or those really early signs of aging? Chemical peels can be a game-changer. A chemical peel is a professional skincare treatment where a solution is applied to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath. Many people opt for chemical peels as part of their Acne Treatment or Acne Scar Treatment routines. There are different types of peels, depending on your skin concern. Superficial peels use gentler acids, such as glycolic or lactic acid, and are suitable for mild acne and dull skin. Medium peels most often use TCA, targeting deeper pigmentation and fine lines, and noticeable results can be seen within days. Deep peels are stronger formulas for severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, or stubborn spots, and should always be performed under professional supervision. Choosing the appropriate peel is important. In cases of acne and breakouts, salicylic acid peels help unblock pores and lessen inflammation, making them ideal for Acne Treatment ....

The Importance of Retainers After Orthodontic Treatment

Image
Completing orthodontic treatment—whether through braces or clear aligners—is an exciting milestone. Patients often feel a sense of accomplishment once their teeth are aligned and their bite is corrected. However, treatment does not end when the braces are removed or aligners are finished. The final and equally important phase of orthodontics is retention, maintained by retainers. Why Retainers Are Essential After active orthodontic treatment , teeth are not yet entirely stable in their new positions. The supporting bone and surrounding soft tissues, including the gums and periodontal ligament, need time to adapt and remodel. Without adequate retention, there is a natural tendency for teeth to relapse—that is, to shift back toward their original positions. Retainers play a critical role in preventing relapse and preserving the results achieved during treatment.  Types of Retainers Orthodontists prescribe different types of retainers based on each patient’s treatment plan and individ...
