What is dentistry?
Dentistry is the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions, disorders, and diseases of the teeth, gums, mouth, and jaw.Often considered necessary for complete oral health, dentistry can have an impact on the health of your entire body.
Who is a dentist?
A dentist is a specialist who works to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems.
Your dentist has completed at least eight years of schooling, and received either a BDS
(Bachelor of Dental Surgery) degree, or a MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) degree. If
your doctor is a paediatric dentist, this means that he or she specializes in caring for
children from infancy through their teen years. A paediatric dentist has received the
proper education and training needed to work with young kids. Other specializations
include: • Endodontics (root canals) • Oral and maxillofacial (Dental surgery) •
Orthodontics(Braces Treatment) • Periodontics (gum disease) • Prosthodontics
(dentures and prosthetics) • Pedodontist (child dentist).Implantology(Implants)

Why is visiting the dentist so important?
Visiting the dentist regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will
also help to keep the rest of your body healthy. Dental care is important because it:
- Helps prevent tooth decay
- Protects against periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to tooth and bone loss
- Prevents bad breath – brushing, flossing, and seeing the dentist regularly will help reduce the amount of bacteria in your mouth that causes bad breath
- Gives you a more attractive smile and increases your self-confidence
- Helps keep teeth looking bright by preventing them from becoming stained by food, drinks, and tobacco
- Strengthens your teeth so that you can enjoy healthy, beautiful smiles for the rest of your life!
How often should I see a dentist?
The Indian Dental Association (IDA) guidelines recommend visiting a dentist at least
twice a year for a check-up and professional cleaning. If you have not seen a dentist for
a while, schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
What should I expect during my consultation appointment?
When you first arrive at Triveni Dentals, you will be welcomed by a friendly staff member
who will work with you in gathering your medical and dental history. We will examine
your teeth and gums, make X-rays of your teeth as needed and complete a TMJ
(temporomandibular or jaw joint) exam, screen for oral cancer, if required. If treatment
(such as a root canal, braces or oral surgery) is necessary, your dentist will thoroughly
explain why it is recommended and the benefits of receiving and disadvantages of not
receiving that treatment. The dentist will also answer any questions you have. If you
decide to move forward, our treatment coordinator will discuss fee payment options and
set up a treatment appointment so that you can be on your way to happier and healthier
teeth. During regular follow-up visits, we will examine your teeth and gums, thoroughly
clean your teeth and make plans for treatment, as needed. We will discuss any pain or
problem(s) you may be experiencing and answer any questions you have.
Why do I need Dental X-rays?
Radiographic or X-ray examinations provide your dentist with an important diagnostic
tool that shows the condition of your teeth, their roots, jaw placement and the overall
composition of your facial bones. X-Rays can help your dentist determine the presence
or degree of periodontal disease, abscesses and many abnormal growths, such as cysts
and tumours. X-rays can also show the exact location of impacted teeth. They can
pinpoint the location of cavities and other signs of disease that may not be possible to
detect through visual examination (such as changes in the jaw bone structure as a result
of systemic disease).Triveni dentals is equipped with RVG AND OPG facility in house.
How safe are dental X-rays?
Exposure to all sources of radiation -- including the sun, minerals in the soil, appliances
in your home, and dental X-rays -- can damage the body's tissues and cells and lead to
the development of cancer. Fortunately, the dose of radiation you are exposed to during
the taking of X-rays is extremely small. Advances in dentistry over the years have lead to
the low radiation levels emitted by dental X-rays. Some of the improvements are new
digital X-ray machines that limit the radiation beam to the small area being X-rayed,
higher speed X-ray films that require shorter exposure time compared with older film
speeds to get the same results, and the use of film holders that keep the film in place in
the mouth (which prevents the film from slipping and the need for repeat X-rays and
additional radiation exposure). Also, the use of lead-lined, full-body aprons protects the
body from stray radiation (though this is almost non-existent with the modern dental X-
ray machines.).X ray machines at Triveni Dentals are AERB approved & Quality
assurance has been done for Patients safety.
My tooth was knocked out. How soon should I see the dentist?
Immediately. Getting to a dentist within 30 minutes can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth. When a tooth is knocked out:
- Immediately visit us at Triveni Dentals for an emergency appointment.
- Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Touching the root (the part of the tooth below the gum) can damage cells necessary for bone reattachment.
- Gently rinse the tooth in water to remove dirt. Do not scrub.
- Place the clean tooth in your mouth between the cheek and the gum to keep it moist.
- It is important not to let the tooth dry out.
- It is not possible to store the tooth in the mouth of the injured person, wrap the tooth in a clean cloth or gauze and immerse in milk.
What does “painless dentistry” mean?
We understand that going to the dentist can make some people feel anxious. Painless
dentistry is a means of ensuring your total experience in our office is as stress-free and
pain-free as possible.
Is it true that the dentist does not have time for people who are nervous and who need a lot of encouragement and support while dental treatment?
At Triveni Dentals, we have specially trained staff who has had numerous such
experiences to support and work with patients nervous about undergoing dental
treatment. It is not unusual to be anxious about the dental treatment. There is absolutely
no need to think that you are making your dentist’s job difficult. We, at Triveni Dental
make sure that you certainly have a comfortable, almost pain free and happy dental
treatment experience. It is in fact a part of our job.
When I go to the dentist I have no idea of knowing what is going on and have no control whatsoever. Does this result in my fear?
Yes. It is unfortunate to say that most of the dentists in their clinics fail to give time in
explaining the reason about their discomfort to their patients in detail, the steps involved
in treatment, the pros and cons of treatment and its alternatives, if any and lastly the
pros and cons of getting and avoiding the treatment done. When you walk in at Triveni
Dentals, we assure you that the dental treatment experience is going to be different but
happy. We shall be more than happy to provide help to you at every step. We strongly
believe that it is the right of our patient to know every minute detail of their treatment.
How can I overcome my dental treatment fear?
At Triveni Dentals, we primarily focus on few behaviour management techniques that
can be used to help you overcome your dental treatment fear. Only after the patient is
comfortable with our team and the armamentarium, we start with the dental treatment.
Will the dentist be completely shocked and appalled by the state of my mouth?
At Triveni Dentals, we have seen countless people with extremely poor oral health. You
will certainly be nowhere near the worst that we have seen. We are trained to help you
correct the bad condition of your mouth in a professional manner. If you feel that your
mouth is in bad condition, then it is a great reason to visit us at Triveni Dentals
I'm interested in changing the shape of my teeth. What options are available?
Several different options are available to change the shape of teeth, make teeth look
longer, close spaces between teeth or repair chipped or cracked teeth. Among the
options are bonding, crowns, veneers, and recontouring.
- Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-coloured resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied to the tooth surface and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth.
- Dental crowns are tooth-shaped "caps" that are placed over teeth. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
- Veneers (also sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured materials that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth.
- Recontouring or reshaping of the teeth (also called odontoplasty, enameloplasty, stripping, or slenderizing) is a procedure in which small amounts of tooth enamel are removed to change a tooth's length, shape or surface. Each of these options differ with regard to cost, durability, "chair time" necessary to complete the procedure, stain resistant qualities, and best cosmetic approach to resolving a specific problem. Talk to your dentist to see which one is right for you.
Why is orthodontic treatment important?
An attractive smile and improved self-image is just one of the benefits of orthodontic
treatment. Alleviating and preventing physical health problems is just as important.
Without treatment, orthodontic problems can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bone
destruction, chewing and digestive difficulties, speech impairments, tooth loss, and other
dental injuries.
Why do I need braces if my teeth are straight but my bite is off?
Orthodontics are not only for pretty teeth. A good healthy bite helps eliminate other
health problems in later years. It also helps save teeth from excessive wear.
At what age should orthodontic treatment occur?
Orthodontic treatment can be started at any age, however the Indian orthodontic Society
recommends all children get a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age
7. Orthodontist can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some
baby teeth are still present. . Early treatment may mean that a patient can avoid surgery
and more serious complications.
Can I wear braces even though I have crowns and missing teeth?
Orthodontic treatment can be started at any age, however the Indian orthodontic Society
recommends all children get a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age
7. Orthodontist can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some

What is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ Dysfunction is a condition of the jaw that occurs when the Temporo Mandibular
Joint is misaligned or malfunctioning in a way that subjects the joint to excess pressure.
TMJ can seriously affect how your mouth works and often includes side-effects such as
blocked nasal passages, neck pain, headaches and difficulty chewing.
