What factors cause tooth sensitivity?



Tooth sensitivity can be caused by various factors. The most common ones are exposed tubules (small channels) in the dentin of the tooth, which can result from enamel wear, gum recession, or dental deposits. These open channels allow stimuli (such as cold, heat, or acidity) to reach the nerve endings, leading to painful sensations.

How is the procedure of dental implantation performed?



The dental implantation procedure involves replacing a lost tooth with an artificial root (implant). First, the surgeon places the implant into the jawbone beneath the site of the missing tooth. Then, a healing process (osseointegration) may take several months as the bone grows around the implant, making it stable. Once the implant has integrated, a dental technician creates a crown that closely matches your natural tooth and attaches it to the implant.

What are dental fillings, and how do they restore damaged teeth?



Dental fillings are materials used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay or minor fractures. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the resulting space is filled with a suitable material such as composite resin or amalgam. Dental fillings help restore the tooth's function and prevent further decay.

What is the role of fluoride in dental health, and how is it applied?



Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay. It can be applied topically through fluoride toothpaste, mouthwash, or professional fluoride treatments at the dentist's office. In some communities, fluoride is also added to the public water supply to improve dental health on a broader scale.

What is the process of root canal treatment?



Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure performed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. During the treatment, the dentist removes the infected pulp from the tooth's interior, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then fills them with a special material. Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling to protect and strengthen it.

How does orthodontic treatment correct misaligned teeth?



Orthodontic treatment, commonly done with braces or aligners, applies gentle pressure to the teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. Braces consist of brackets bonded to the teeth and wires that exert pressure to guide teeth into alignment. Aligners, on the other hand, are removable, transparent trays that apply pressure to shift teeth gradually. Orthodontic treatment helps improve dental health, aesthetics, and bite alignment.

What is the importance of early orthodontic evaluation for children?



Early orthodontic evaluation allows dentists to detect potential orthodontic issues in children at an early age. By identifying and addressing problems such as crowding or misalignment early on, dentists can create an appropriate treatment plan that may help avoid more extensive orthodontic interventions in the future.

What are the different options for replacing missing teeth?



There are several options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Dental implants are the most permanent and natural-looking solution, as they replace the tooth root and provide stable support for a crown. Bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors to support a prosthetic tooth, and dentures are removable appliances that replace multiple missing teeth.
