Oral health is the window to your full body health. You must have heard this before. But did you know that your dental health really has a direct link to your body? A painful tooth not letting you eat properly? Leave it in and your whole nutrition is affected. Sensitive teeth not letting you eat hot or cold items? Your lifestyle basically changes. You can’t order your favourite things anymore. Bleeding gums every morning are never a good sight to see right? Apart from these there are many other dental treatments that can cause a hindrance in your day to day life.
Let’s take a look at the top 5 most common dental treatments that patients walk into our dental clinic in Vizag and how you can detect them early by yourself. Because early detection is what saves a ton of your time and money.

Dental cavities and how to detect them
When we talk about dental issues, cavities and tooth pain are the most common thing. You can actually observe and detect a cavity before it crosses the threshold and becomes untreatable or requires extensive treatment. Observe if you have any weird looking black or brownish spots on your teeth. Mostly on the top parts of your teeth. And if you feel any sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
If brought to the dentist at this stage, they can easily be treated with a cement filling. If you have unbearable pain throughout the night and day, you might need a root canal treatment. -
Bleeding gums
Sometimes when you brush you might see remnants of blood on the brush or the sink. Or even when you bite into something hard. This might be due to accumulation of debris, which has hardened and turned into calculus/plaque.
A dental cleaning is a must for this. Because plaque can cause severe harm to your gums and overall gum health. A dental scaling is a procedure where a high speed ultrasonic device is used to break away the plaque. This will also improve gum health tremendously. -
Wisdom tooth pain
Dental pain without any active cavities can also occur. Sometimes if you experience unbearable pain at the side of your jaw, not allowing you to eat or open wide, then it might be due to an improperly erupting wisdom tooth. These need to be visualised on an x-ray and taken out.
This is a common occurrence for people around the age of 21 - 30. The wisdom tooth extraction will be done under local anaesthesia and post care instructions will be given accordingly. -
Missing tooth
Let’s say by any cause, be it due to early removal of the tooth due to decay or gum issues, you have lost a tooth. Know that it is very important to replace a missing tooth as soon as possible. Or else you are putting the adjacent teeth and the opposite teeth at a risk of migrating into this space.
This only causes more trouble. You can get that single tooth replaced by placing an implant in the missing site, or getting a dental bridge by taking help of the adjacent teeth. -
Yellowish teeth
Yellow teeth are never a good sign. They might make you smile cautiously and give you insecurities around your smile. We don’t want that to happen. You can go for a complete teeth cleaning, polishing and the best of all - dental bleaching to get one shade lighter teeth instantly. Quick and easy chair side results.
Sometimes you may require more than one session to get the desired result. The treatment course and steps will be explained to you in detail by our experts.
