Dental treatment encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at maintaining oral health, preventing dental issues, and treating existing dental problems. Here are some common types of dental treatments:

1. Preventive Care:

  • Dental Cleanings: Regular professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, preventing cavities and gum disease.
  • Fluoride Treatments: Application of fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.
  • Sealants: Protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay.

2. Restorative Treatments:

  • Fillings: Used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay. Materials may include amalgam, composite resin, or ceramic.
  • Crowns: Caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, and strength.
  • Bridges: Used to replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth.
  • Dentures: Removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth.

3. Endodontic Treatment:

  • Root Canal Therapy: Removal of infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth to save the tooth from extraction.

4. Orthodontic Treatment:

  • Braces: Used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, improving bite and overall oral health.
  • Invisalign: Clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth without the use of traditional braces.

5. Periodontal (Gum) Treatment:

  • Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
