Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems. You have some form of cavities unless you take good care of your teeth. Remember that cavities occur gradually such as losing minerals, weakening the enamel, and eventually a hole will form. It means you can save a decayed tooth if it is treated timely. In contrast, many people neglect cavities due to which they invite serious problems like gum diseases.

You might know cavities penetrate deeper inside a tooth and affect the adjacent teeth. Surprisingly, the toxic microbes in a rotten tooth are linked to various long-term health issues. Researches show that some illnesses have their root from infections in teeth. When the oral microbes in a rotten tooth move to the bloodstream, various deadly diseases will occur.

Such clinical consequences of untreated cavities are explained here.

Dental implant restoration is proclaimed as the best solution to replace missing teeth regardless of the number of teeth a person lost. As implant teeth mimic the appearance and behavior of natural teeth, revamping missing teeth with implants allows you to eat whatever you want without pain. You might aware of the advantages of dental implants.

The implants trigger some dilemmas when they become old. Besides this, implants have further complications that are mainly categorized as surgically-related problems, peri-implant-related problems, mechanically-related problems, and hardware-related problems.

The teeth shape and size should be proportional to the jaw size. When they become disproportionate, it would force the teeth to develop smaller or larger than normal. Teeth smaller than the average size are referred as “Microdontia” whereas one tooth or a group of teeth that grows bigger than the standard tooth size is clinically termed as “Macrodontia”.

Despite the altered tooth size appears a benign condition, it might be the oral manifestation of various genetically inherited conditions, hormonal imbalance, etc. In this post, we are going to see about Macrodont teeth which are highly seen in Asians than others.

When tooth decay or tooth trauma is left untreated, they open paths with which the oral bacteria enter the tooth and damage the tooth’s pulp chamber. The pulp is made up of nerves, blood vessels, connective tissues, and other fibrous particles essential for a tooth.

It means the bacterial contamination in the pulp chamber makes a tooth more painful and troublesome. Hence the damaged pulp should be removed surgically to stop the infection progresses. Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a straightforward therapy and it aims at disinfecting the tiny channels inside a tooth root, shaping the canals, and filled with a special material to preserve the diseased tooth.
