Preventive Dentistry in Kolkata

Thorough dental check-ups to spot early signs of decay or gum issues.

As part of preventive dentistry in Kolkata, dental hygiene is the best practice for maintaining clean and healthy teeth. It focuses on removing plaque and debris while ensuring gums stay pink, pain-free, and do not bleed when brushing or flossing. 

Our expert dentists in Kolkata perform thorough cleaning using advanced ultrasonic scaling technology to remove buildup from hard-to-reach areas.

We also guide you on effective brushing and flossing techniques to maintain optimal oral hygiene at home. With routine dental checkups, X-rays, and professional cleanings, you can keep your teeth strong, gums healthy, and your smile fresh.

• Scaling & polishing — Professional teeth cleaning in Kolkata for plaque removal and fresher breath.
• Fluoride treatment — For strengthening enamel and lowering cavity risk.

Pit & fissure sealants — protect deep grooves in molars from decay.

Pit and fissure sealant is a thin, protective coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) to help prevent tooth decay. These teeth have grooves and pits (fissures) that can be difficult to clean with a toothbrush, making them more susceptible to cavities.

Before applying the sealant, your tooth is cleaned and dried, and an acidic solution is applied for better adhesion. The sealant is then applied in liquid form to flow into the grooves and hardened with a curing light, creating a smooth surface that’s easy to clean.

Sealants are highly recommended for children and teenagers once their permanent molars appear. However, adults can also benefit from sealants, especially if they are at high risk for tooth decay.

Enameloplasty — minor reshaping to reduce food traps and sensitivity.

Enameloplasty, also known as tooth reshaping, is a quick and conservative dental procedure that enhances the appearance and function of your teeth. During the procedure, small pieces of tooth enamel are removed to alter the size, shape, length, or surface of a tooth.

This cosmetic dental treatment smooths uneven edges, corrects minor imperfections, and can even help prevent plaque buildup on overlapping teeth. The result is a more even, confident, and natural-looking smile.

Sensitive Teeth– Protect Your Smile from Painful Triggers

Tooth sensitivity often causes sharp discomfort when teeth are exposed to hot, cold, sweet, or sour triggers. It often occurs when enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the underlying dentin.

Oral cancer screening — routine checks for early signs and timely referrals.

Oral cancer screening is a procedure that is used to detect early signs of oral cancer or pre-cancerous conditions in the mouth. It helps to identify any abnormalities or lesions in the mouth that may be cancerous or pre-cancerous so that early intervention and treatment can be initiated.

Oral cancer screening in Kolkata is performed by our doctors during a routine dental check-up. Our dentists carefully examine your tongue, gums, cheeks, and throat for any unusual lesions, discolouration, or tissue changes, which may not be visible to the naked eye.

Risk factors for oral cancer include:

• tobacco use
  
• excessive alcohol consumption
  
• a history of oral cancer or pre-cancerous lesions
  
• exposure to the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Preventive care not only protects your smile but also reduces the need for complex treatments such as implants or restorations. Regular cleanings and dental checkups improve your oral health, boost confidence, and contribute to your overall well-being.
