Teeth will not become loose because of the cleaning procedure. The teeth are held firmly in place due to the gums and the bone around them. The tartar (food debris and bacteria) gathered around the teeth causes infection of the gums and bone. This infection leads to receding of bone and gum levels and thus creates gaps between teeth (Pyorrhoea). This tartar, if not removed periodically (once in every 6 months) can cause loosening of teeth. The cleaning procedure will help remove tartar and stop the gum and bone from receding. This will increase the life and integrity of the teeth and gums.

It depends on each dental patient’s particular oral needs as every patient is different. Some patients are simply more prone to having dental issues, making it necessary for them to see a dental professional more often. Other patients will experience hardly any dental issues at all, which means it is likely that they will need to have their teeth cleaned on a less frequent basis. General guidelines state that patients should make an appointment for a professional dental cleaning every six months. While this is ideal for most people, some will need to come in every three months and others will only need to come in every nine or 12 months.

Inside your tooth, beneath the white enamel and a hard layer called dentin, is a soft tissue called pulp. This tissue contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, which help grow the root of your tooth during its development. Whenever a tooth decay/cavity reaches and infects the pulp of the tooth, the only way to salvage the tooth is removal of this infected pulp along with its nerve and blood vessels. This procedure is called root canal treatment (RCT). Here the tooth is remains intact in your mouth and functions normally after the procedure. With technology backing dentistry a RCT is a very routine and painless procedure like a filling. It is usually completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective. You’ll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time.

A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed/black deep cavities, cleans this affected area, and then fills the cleaned-out portion of the tooth with a filling material which is biocompatible. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-coloured fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).

If your tooth is broken, chipped or fractured, see your dentist near you as soon as possible. Otherwise, your tooth could be damaged further or become infected. You could possibly end up losing the tooth. Treatment for a broken/ chipped tooth will depend on how severely it is damaged. If only a small piece of enamel/ the outer white surface is broken, the repair can usually be done simply by filling with a good tooth coloured material. A badly damaged or broken tooth may require a root canal treatment/crown/dental veneer.
