Hi
I am Dr. Meenakshi Aggarwal, the proprietor of Aditya Dental Clinic. I have done BDS from BRS Dental College, Panchkula in 2007. After completing the dental course, I got appointed in Eklavya Dental College, Jaipur as a lecturer. After doing various certificate courses including Endodontics in New Millenium, Implants Dentistry, Materials in Oral health and practicing in various clinics, I opened my own clinic –ADITYA DENTAL CLINIC where we give quality dental care to our esteemed patients. I am an active member of IDA Faridabad branch.
Most of my patients whether a child or grown-up are quite scared of dentists owing to some past painful dental experiences or dental fear inculcated in their childhood as a punishment for some misdeed. So, the first visit of my patients generally goes in counseling making themselves comfortable to the dental environment liberating their fear. According to me, children can be better patients than adults as they are willing to learn and understand. We show equal respect to the emotions of the child as we do to adults. My pedo patients happily allow me to render help to them with their aching teeth. In one case, a child made his reluctant mother; who was quite scared for her son, agree to save his tooth after my counseling!
One of my youngest patient was 28 days old baby! You might be wondering such a small baby don’t have a single tooth in his mouth. Wrong! Sometimes, natal teeth are present since birth which are to be extracted if they interfere with breastfeeding.
When Patients Generally Come To Us?
A patient generally shows up to dental clinic only when he/she is in acute pain with a notion- Get the painful tooth out of my mouth! But this is a misconception. No matter how much pain you are in; we always try our level best to save the original tooth while relieving your pain. Still, if there is a need to get it extracted, then we have the option of implants to replace the lost tooth.
When You Should Ideally Come To Us?
You should make it a habit to undergo a routine dental check-up at least in 6 months. This will ensure good oral hygiene. Any cavity and yellowish or greenish hard layer over the teeth which we call calculus will be detected within time and treatment can be rendered with good prognosis. Any type of oral swelling, patches on mucosa etc can also be detected ruling out any cancerous growth. To make a long story short, why to make the matter worse when the problem can be resolved so easily?
SOME OF THE TABOOS IN DENTISTRY
Q. Tooth Extraction Will Affect Our Eyes
A. Absolutely not. Sometimes, a toothache is felt in eyes and head over the side with the painful tooth which makes people feel that tooth extraction will weaken their eyesight.
Q. Scaling Of Teeth Will Make Them Weak
A. Scaling is just professional cleaning of teeth. It is required to remove the tenacious calculus layer formed at the junction of your gums and teeth which is mainly responsible for swollen and bleeding gums, bad breath and pyorrhoea. You cannot remove that layer yourself by normal tooth brushing. Once formed, it can only be removed by scaling thereby restoring good oral hygiene. So, how can maintenance of good oral hygiene make the tooth weaker? Actually the things are other way round. After scaling, teeth get firmly attached to the calculus free healthy gums.
Q. There Is No Need To Worry About Kid’s Teeth As Milk Teeth Will Shed Off
A. This is the most common taboo mainly responsible for increased cavities in permanent teeth just after the eruption. If the milk tooth is infected by the cavity, it will automatically transfer the cavity to permanent tooth bud present just below it. When the affected permanent tooth will erupt, you will wonder when and how the cavity developed in that tooth despite brushing the teeth two times a day. So the cavities in milk teeth must be restored there and then.
Moreover, milk teeth are needed to maintain the space until the permanent teeth erupt. If the deciduous (milk) teeth will shed off before its tenure, there will be crowding of teeth due to migration which will require correct alignment of teeth by braces.
PATIENT’S REVIEWS
I was unable to undergo dental treatment as I have the problem of gagging whenever any instrument touches my tongue. But at Aditya Dental clinic, the doctor did my RCT so gently that now I can enjoy the food from both sides of my mouth. Thanks for your patience and dedication.
