My teeth have some brownish spots. It doesn't go with brush. It looks very dirty. What should I do?

Answered on 23rd May '24

brownish discolouration is mostly fluorosis and physically covering or laminating the tooth is the only option. veneers and crowns or laminates are your options. bleaching might help a little (clinical evaluation required)

Asked for Male, 37

How long does a root canal last without a crown?

Answered on 23rd May '24

it depends on the structure of tooth left after rct, so better get it done as earlier as possible so that maximum tooth structure can be saved. usually when 3 to 4 walls are intact, prognosis is better, and we can avoid crown. also in front teeth we can avoid crowns.

so the doctor will evalaute clinically and make the right decision

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

Answered on 23rd May '24

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

Asked for Female, 23

Hello doctor, my gum has been swallowed for the past few weeks and now it has started bleeding and inflammation. Is it periodontal gum disease or something else? How can I get rid of it? Kindly help

Answered on 23rd May '24

Yes it is a periodontal gum disease. Bleeding gums are a sign of gingivitis, or inflammation of your gums. It's a common and mild form of gum disease, and it's caused by a buildup of plaque at your gumline.
To prevent bleeding from gums go for proper cleaning , brush your teeth twice a day, use fluoride contained mouthwash, consume vitamin c contained foods, prevent sugary foods and beverages.

Sir my father is 69 years, what will be the best treatment for him between periodontal scaling and root planning?

Answered on 23rd May '24

Periodontal scaling goes deeper than a typical cleaning. The scraping is done not only at the gum line, but below it, closer to the root. This more extensive procedure to remove hardened plaque and calculus.
Root planing involves smoothing the exposed surface of the roots after the plaque has been removed. This helps the gum tissue reattach to the root and tooth so healing can begin.
So it's better if you will go for both the procedures.

If your tooth is retained then no need to remove your tooth. First go for non surgical treatments like scaling and root planning, maintain oral hygiene, stop tobacco use and smoking , prevent further accumulation of plaque.
If you have advanced periodontitis, treatment may require dental surgery, such as flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery), Soft tissue grafts, Bone grafting , Guided tissue regeneration. and Tissue stimulating proteins
