Preventive Dentistry

Preventive dentistry is the unglamorous work that stops you needing the expensive work. It is also, rupee for rupee, the best value in this entire clinic.

What we actually do

Fissure sealants. The biting surfaces of back teeth have deep grooves that a toothbrush bristle cannot enter. A sealant flows into those grooves and sets hard, closing them off. It takes minutes, needs no drilling, and dramatically cuts decay in children's permanent molars.

Fluoride application. A concentrated varnish that strengthens enamel and can reverse the very earliest stages of decay before a hole ever forms.

Diet analysis. Not a lecture. The single biggest factor is not how much sugar but how often — a bottle of cola sipped over two hours does far more harm than the same bottle drunk in ten minutes. We look at your actual daily pattern and find the two changes that will matter most.

Brushing and interdental technique. Almost everybody misses the same spots. We show you yours, in a mirror, on your own teeth.

Recall scheduling with reminders. Your interval goes into our system and you get a WhatsApp message when your check-up is due, so it does not quietly slip by two years.

Children

We see children from around age three. The first visit is deliberately short and positive — a ride in the chair, a count of the teeth, a sticker. Nothing is done that we have not explained first. A child who is not frightened of the dentist at six is an adult who still has their teeth at sixty.

Early warning signs to bring in

• White chalky patches on the enamel — the reversible stage of decay
• Gums that bleed when brushing
• Sensitivity to cold that lingers
• A tooth that has become slightly darker
• Grinding noises at night, or a jaw that aches in the morning

The plain arithmetic

| Preventive care | What it prevents |

|---|---|

| Check-up, Rs 1,500 | Filling, Rs 3,000+ |

| Scale and polish, Rs 2,500 | Gum treatment and eventual tooth loss |

| Sealant, a few hundred rupees | Root canal and crown, Rs 23,000+ |

Cost

Preventive appointments start at Rs 1,500 and take 20 to 30 minutes. Sealants and fluoride are quoted per tooth and are inexpensive.
