 Have you ever experienced a persistent toothache or sensitivity that just doesn’t go away? It might be more than just a cavity — your tooth could be infected deep inside, and the solution might be a root canal treatment (RCT). Despite common myths, root canals are safe, effective, and often the only way to save a natural tooth from extraction. At Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic, Ambattur, we believe in educating our patients before starting any treatment. So let’s understand why a root canal is sometimes necessary — and how it can save your smile. 🧪 What Exactly Is a Root Canal? A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the infected or inflamed pulp inside your tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels. If it gets infected due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscess or bone loss. ⚠️ When Do You Need a Root Canal? Here are common signs you might need a root canal: Continuous tooth...

Most patients say they feel nothing during the procedure. 🦷 Step 3: Access Opening We make a small opening on the top of the tooth to access the infected pulp inside. This is done gently and precisely using rotary tools. 🧼...

Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually erupt between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people may have all four, some fewer, and a few don’t develop them at all! ⚠️ Do They Always Need Removal?

 🦷 Don’t Ignore That Small Cavity – Why Early Dental Visits Matter 📍 From Shree Jayam Oral and Dental Clinic, Ambattur 📞 Call us: 7550090462 | 9150990462 🤔 “It’s just a black dot… I’ll get it checked later.” We hear this from patients all the time. But what looks like a harmless discoloration or tiny hole could be the beginning of a deeper dental problem. Tooth decay doesn’t stop on its own—and by the time pain starts, the damage is already serious. 🔬 What Really Happens to That Small Cavity? Cavities are caused by acids produced by bacteria that live on sugary food and plaque. Here’s how they progress: 1. Stage 1 – Enamel Decay: The outermost layer gets demineralized. At this stage, you may not even feel it. 2. Stage 2 – Dentin Involvement: The decay progresses into the softer inner layer. You may start noticing mild sensitivity. 3. Stage 3 – Pulp Infection: Once the decay reaches the nerve-rich pulp, you may experience severe pain, swelling, or even abscess formation. 4. Sta...

Crooked or misaligned teeth can affect more than just your smile — they can impact your bite, speech, and oral hygiene. Fortunately, orthodontic braces come in several types to suit your needs, lifestyle, and budget. Here’s a quick guide to the most popular types of braces: 1. Metal Braces (Traditional Braces) 🔩 The most common type, made from high-grade stainless steel. ✅ Durable and effective for complex alignment issues. 🎯 Suitable for children, teens, and adults. 2. Ceramic Braces 🦷 Tooth-colored brackets blend with your natural teeth. ✅ Less noticeable than metal braces. ⚠️ Slightly more fragile and may stain if not cared for properly. 3. Self-Ligating Braces ⚙️ No elastic bands – uses a special clip system. ✅ Faster adjustments and fewer appointments. 🪶 More comfortable with reduced pressure. 4. Lingual Braces 😮 Placed behind your teeth — completely invisible from the front. ✅ Ideal for those concerned about appearance. 🧑‍⚕️ May take time to adjust speech; not suitable for ...

  By Shree Jayam Oral and Dental Clinic, Ambattur Dental implants have become one of the most reliable, long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth. However, many patients often wonder – “Is an implant possible in my case?” Let’s break down the facts! ✅ When Is a Dental Implant Usually Possible?

 Many patients believe that a painful or infected tooth must be removed. But here’s the truth: ✅ Root Canal Treatment (RCT) can save your natural tooth in most cases! 🔍 When is Root Canal Better than Extraction? When the tooth structure is still strong.

📍 From the desk of Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic, Ambattur 👋 Introduction We’ve all been there — a bit of food gets stuck between your teeth after a meal, and the closest thing on hand is a toothpick. But did you know this tiny stick could be putting your oral health at serious risk? At Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic in Ambattur, we often see patients with gum injuries or infections caused by improper use of toothpicks. Here’s what you need to know. 🚫 Why Toothpicks Are a Bad Idea 1. They Damage Your Gums Toothpicks can puncture delicate gum tissue, causing bleeding and creating an entry point for bacteria. 2. Risk of Splinters Wooden toothpicks may break off inside your gums or between your teeth — leading to painful infections or abscesses. 3. They Can Widen Gaps Between Teeth Repeated use can push teeth apart, creating gaps or causing misalignment over time. 4. Enamel Erosion Some users scrape their tooth surface with a toothpick, unknowingly wearing down their prote...

🚫 Habit : Using Your Teeth as Tools ❗ You might be doing this every day: Tearing open snack packets Opening bottle caps Chewing pens or biting nails Holding things between your teeth It seems harmless, right? But here's the truth… ⚠️ What Happens When You Use Teeth as Tools? Chipped or cracked teeth Worn-out enamel (your teeth’s protective layer) Jaw strain and sensitivity May even lead to root canal treatment in the long run! ✅ What You Should Do Instead: Always keep a scissors or opener handy Never bite nails or pens — it’s unhygienic and dangerous Teach kids early to treat their teeth gently 🦷 From the Experts at Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic : “Your teeth aren’t tools. They’re treasures. Treat them that way!” 📍 Visit Us: Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic 📍 21/2, Devarajulu Street, Ambattur, Chennai – 600053 📞 9150990462 / 7550090462 💬 WhatsApp Us Directly

🧁 Introduction: We all love a good snack — a biscuit with tea, a piece of chocolate, or a handful of chips while scrolling through Instagram. But did you know that frequent snacking is one of the biggest silent culprits behind cavities and enamel erosion? ❗ Why Frequent Snacking is a Problem: Every time you eat, especially sugary or starchy foods, the bacteria in your mouth produce acid. This acid weakens the tooth enamel — and it takes around 20 to 30 minutes for saliva to neutralize it. 👎 When you keep snacking throughout the day: Your mouth stays in an acidic environment Teeth don’t get time to recover and remineralize This leads to cavities, gum issues, and even bad breath 🍬 What Snacks Are the Worst? Sticky sweets like toffees and gummies Chips and namkeens that stick between teeth Sugary drinks or flavored sodas Constant tea/coffee with sugar Even healthy snacks like dry fruits or biscuits can be harmful if consumed too often! ✅ What You Can Do: Stick to 3 proper meals and 2 s...

 Did you know that losing a tooth can lead to losing part of your jawbone too? Bone loss in the mouth is a silent condition that can affect your smile, speech, and ability to chew — and many patients don’t even realize it’s happening until it’s too late. At Shree Jayam Oral and Dental Clinic, Ambattur, we help you catch it early and treat it effectively. 🟡 What Is Dental Bone Loss? Bone loss refers to the gradual shrinking or thinning of the jawbone. It most commonly occurs when: A tooth is missing for a long time Gum disease is left untreated Dentures are worn without bone support There’s trauma, infection, or poor oral hygiene 🔴 Common Causes of Bone Loss: 1. Missing Teeth – Without a tooth root, the bone underneath begins to dissolve. 2. Advanced Gum Disease (Periodontitis) – Bacteria destroy not just gums but the bone underneath. 3. Ill-fitting Dentures – Constant pressure causes the bone to shrink over time. 4. Smoking – Reduces blood flow to the bone and affects healing. 5....

🟢 Why Replacing a Missing Tooth Matters A single gap can lead to drifting teeth, gum problems, bone loss, and an older facial appearance. Replacing it early protects your bite and confidence. 🟠 Deeper Dive into Dental Implants 1. Looks & Feels Natural – Crown emerges from the gum, so no artificial “wing.” 2. Protects Neighbouring Teeth – No cutting or load-sharing. 3. Prevents Bone Loss – Implant acts like a real root and keeps the jawbone active. 4. High Success Rate – 95–97 % when placed by experienced clinicians. 5. Upkeep – Regular brushing, flossing, and 6-month professional cleanings. Ideal for: Patients with good overall health, enough bone volume, and who want a “fit-and-forget” solution. 🟡 Understanding Dental Bridges 1. Fast Turnaround – From tooth prep to final bridge in as little as a week. 2. No Surgery – Helpful for medically compromised or surgery-averse patients. 3. Cost-Effective Initially – Lower upfront investment. 4. Important Caveats Requires aggressive enam...

 “Why Early Dental Visits for Children Are Important” Many parents wait until their child experiences a dental problem before visiting a dentist. But did you know the first dental visit should happen by age 1 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing? 🧠 Why Early Dental Visits Matter: 🍼 Prevention is better than cure – Catch issues like baby bottle decay early. 🦷 Track jaw and tooth development. 🪥 Build healthy oral habits early. 😊 Reduce dental anxiety with early, positive experiences. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Educate parents on proper brushing, nutrition, and fluoride use. 🩺 What Happens During the First Visit: A gentle examination of teeth, jaw, and gums.

Myth Busted: “Scaling Will Loosen My Teeth!” Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic, Ambattur, Chennai Many patients hesitate when we recommend scaling (professional teeth cleaning), fearing that it might loosen their teeth. It’s time to set the record straight! ❌ The Myth: > "Doctor, after scaling, my teeth will become loose." ✅ The Truth: Scaling does NOT loosen healthy teeth. If your teeth feel loose after a cleaning, it’s usually because they were already being held tightly by tartar and plaque, not healthy bone. 🦠 What Actually Happens Plaque and tartar build up around the teeth and gums. This causes inflammation (gingivitis) and bone loss (periodontitis) over time. Tartar can act like a fake “support” structure. Once we remove the tartar, the real condition of your gums and bone is revealed. So, if your teeth feel shaky after scaling, it’s because: 👉 The gums were already infected 👉 Bone support has already reduced 👉 The tartar was artificially "holding" ...

✅ MYTH: “Baby teeth aren’t important. They’ll fall out anyway.” ✅ TRUTH: Baby teeth play a vital role in your child’s dental development.

Healthy baby teeth = Healthy permanent teeth! 🧠 They may be temporary, but their impact is permanent. 📍 Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic 21/2, Devarajulu Street, Ambattur, Chennai – 600053 📞 91509 90462 | 75500 90462

✅ MYTH: “Cavities are caused only by eating too many sweets.” ✅ TRUTH: While sugar is a major factor, it’s not the only cause. Cavities form when harmful bacteria in your mouth feed on carbohydrates (not just sugar) and produce acids that erode enamel. 💡 Other Common Cavity Triggers: Frequent snacking (even healthy foods like fruits or crackers) Poor brushing habits Not flossing Acidic drinks like sodas or juices Dry mouth and low saliva flow 🧠 It’s not just what you eat—it’s how you clean after eating! 📍 Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic 21/2, Devarajulu Street, Ambattur, Chennai – 600053 📞 91509 90462 75500 90462

✅ MYTH: “If I don’t feel any pain, my teeth must be fine.” ✅ TRUTH: Most dental problems—like cavities, gum disease, and early infections—start silently without any pain. By the time you feel pain, it could already be advanced or serious. 💡 Why Regular Dental Checkups Matter: Catch problems early before they become painful or costly Detect hidden issues with X-rays and exams Prevent future complications with cleaning & advice 🧡 Prevention is painless.

Gum bleeding is one of the earliest signs that something’s wrong with your oral health — and it should never be ignored. While occasional bleeding might happen after brushing or flossing, persistent or frequent bleeding is a red flag. Let’s explore the common causes and what you can do about it. 🔍 Top Causes of Gum Bleeding 1.

Brushing Too Hard Using a hard-bristled brush or applying too much pressure can injure your gums. > Solution: Us...

✅ What Is Tooth Mobility? Tooth mobility means a tooth is looser than normal. Some slight movement is normal, especially in children — but in adults, loose teeth may be a sign of underlying problems, especially with the gums or bone. Ignoring it can lead to tooth loss, infection, and difficulty eating or speaking. 🚨 Common Causes of Tooth Mobility: 1. Gum Disease (Periodontitis) Infection weakens the bone and tissues holding the teeth. 2. Injury or Trauma A sudden blow or grinding habits (bruxism) can loosen teeth. 3. Bone Loss Often caused by advanced gum disease or osteoporosis. 4. Excessive Bite Force Uneven chewing or clenching puts stress on certain teeth. 5. Infection Severe tooth decay or abscess can damage surrounding bone. 6. Orthodontic Movement (Braces) Temporary and normal during treatment, but should be monitored. ❗ Warning Signs to Watch For: Teeth that wiggle while brushing A feeling that a tooth is shifting Spaces developing between teeth Bleeding gums or bad breath Gu...
