Condition Managed

  • Dental Caries (Tooth Decay): Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a prevalent dental condition. Dental departments provide diagnosis, treatment (such as fillings), and preventive measures (like dental sealants and fluoride treatments) to manage tooth decay.
  • Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease): Periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Dental departments offer periodontal treatments, scaling, root planing, and periodontal surgeries to manage these conditions.
  • Oral Infections: Dental departments diagnose and treat oral infections, which can include conditions like dental abscesses, mouth ulcers, and viral infections. This may involve prescribing antibiotics or performing incisions and drainage when necessary.
  • Tooth Loss and Replacement: Conditions involving tooth loss due to injury, decay, or other factors are managed in dental departments. Dentists can provide solutions like dental implants, bridges, and dentures to replace missing teeth.
  • Orthodontic Conditions: Orthodontic conditions, such as malocclusions (misaligned teeth or jaws), are managed in dental departments through orthodontic treatment, which may include braces, aligners, or other corrective measures.
  • Oral Cancer: Dentists are trained to screen for oral cancer and other oral lesions. If detected, they can refer patients for further evaluation and treatment by specialists in oral medicine or oncology.
  • Tooth Sensitivity: Dental departments address tooth sensitivity conditions by identifying underlying causes, such as exposed dentin or gum recession, and recommending appropriate treatment or desensitizing agents.
  • Dental Trauma: Dental injuries resulting from accidents, falls, or sports activities are managed by dental departments. Immediate care may include treating broken or knocked-out teeth.
  • TMJ Disorders: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain and dysfunction. Dental departments can provide treatments like splints or refer patients to specialists for advanced care.
  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Dental departments address bruxism by diagnosing the condition and providing solutions such as night guards to prevent damage to teeth.
  • Malocclusions: Conditions involving misaligned teeth and jaws are managed through orthodontic treatments, which can improve function and aesthetics.
