🦷 When Should You Fill a Decayed Tooth?

 A small cavity might seem harmless—but tooth decay never stops on its own. The earlier it’s treated, the easier and more comfortable it is to fix. Here’s how to know when it’s time to fill a decayed tooth . πŸͺ₯ 1. As Soon as You Notice a Cavity If you see a brown or black spot , rough surface, or small hole, the decay has already started damaging enamel . ➡️ Early filling prevents it from spreading deeper into the dentin and causing pain. 😬 2. When There’s Sensitivity or Mild Pain If you or your child feel discomfort while eating sweet, hot, or cold foods , it’s a warning sign. ➡️ Filling at this stage can save the tooth and avoid pulpal involvement (which would later need root canal or pulpectomy ). 🦷 3.

Are You Using Mouthwash the Right Way? Here’s What Most People Get Wrong!

🦷 Why Mouthwash Matters Mouthwash is more than a breath-freshener — it's a powerful tool in your daily oral hygiene routine. But did you know that most people don’t use it correctly? At Shree Jayam Oral & Dental Clinic, we’re here to clear the confusion and help you make the most of every swish! ✅ Step-by-Step: How to Use Mouthwash the RIGHT Way 1.

Swish the liquid vigorously around your mouth for at least 30 seconds. Not just a quick swirl — give it time to work. 4. Don’t Rinse with Water After Once you spit it out, don’t rinse your mouth with water. This allows the fluoride and antibacterial agents to continue protecting your te...
