Daily preventive practices can avoid cavities, gum diseases, enamel wear, and other dental conditions. There are many ways to perfect your dental health such as regular brushing and dental cleaning. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting a dentist at regular intervals for preventive checkups. During your hygiene visit, the dentist would ensure your teeth are clean, strong, and in good health.

- Space MaintainersFixed orthodontic appliances are the most commonly used devices in orthodontics. Examples of fixed orthodontic appliances are braces, space maintainers, and special-fixed appliances. Braces consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands. The wires would pass through the brackets and would be fixed to the bands. The archwire is tightened and over time, teeth would be moved into its right position. Space maintainers prevent unguided tooth movement until the permanent tooth comes through. Special-fixed appliances help control tongue thrusting or thumb sucking in children.

- Resin CompositeDental veneers are thin, wafer-like restorations that can be bonded or cemented directly on the tooth’s surface. Veneers are custom-made and are generally made of ceramic, composite resin. Porcelain veneers are much in demand as porcelain material almost matches the color of natural teeth.

- Root Canal TreatmentNot every teeth condition could arise due to an external injury (fracture/accident). Some injuries can be internal and could be the cause of a pulp infection. The dental pulp is composed of several blood vessels and connective tissues that are placed inside the pulp chamber. The pulp chamber is situated deep inside the enamel. Such infection can now be treated with the help of a root canal therapy by trained endodontists.
