Dental Conditions
Understanding dental conditions is the first step toward optimal oral health. Explore our comprehensive resources on various dental conditions, their symptoms, causes, and treatment options.
At Indira Dental Clinic, we believe in empowering our patients with knowledge about their oral health. Our comprehensive resources are organized by anatomical regions to help you easily find information about specific conditions that might affect different areas of your mouth. If you're experiencing any dental concerns, we encourage you to schedule an appointment for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Tooth Conditions
Issues affecting tooth structure, integrity, and function
Tooth Decay
Progressive destruction of tooth structure caused by acids produced by bacteria, leading to cavities.
Tooth Damage
Physical injury to teeth including chips, cracks, or fractures affecting function and appearance.
Drifting Teeth
Gradual movement of teeth into spaces left by missing teeth, leading to misalignment and bite problems.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Third molars that cannot fully erupt into the mouth due to insufficient space or improper angle.
Jaw Conditions
Problems related to jawbone, structure, and alignment
Jaw Atrophy
Loss of bone volume and density in the jaw, often resulting from tooth loss, aging, or disease, leading to decreased jawbone height and width.
Mandibular Posterior Atrophy
Specific bone loss in the back part of the lower jaw, often creating challenges for implant placement due to the proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve.
Full Jaw Atrophy
Severe bone loss affecting an entire arch of the jaw, often resulting in significant facial changes and prosthetic challenges.
Tooth Loss & Replacement
Conditions related to missing teeth and their consequences
Complete Edentulism
Complete loss of all natural teeth in one or both jaws, leading to functional, aesthetic, and nutritional challenges.
Posterior Edentulism
Loss of back teeth (premolars and molars) leading to chewing difficulties and potential bite collapse.
Loss of First Lower Molar
Absence of the first permanent molar in the lower jaw, a key tooth for chewing efficiency and dental arch stability.
Multiple Missing Teeth
Loss of several teeth throughout the dental arch, creating functional and aesthetic challenges.
Pain & Sensitivity
Conditions characterized primarily by pain or discomfort
Infections
Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections of oral structures
Post-Treatment Conditions
Complications or issues following dental procedures
Post-Extraction Pain
Discomfort following tooth removal, ranging from normal healing pain to complications requiring intervention.
Failed Root Canal
Persistence or recurrence of infection after root canal treatment, often due to missed canals, inadequate cleaning, or reinfection.
Implant Failure
Unsuccessful integration or long-term failure of a dental implant due to various biological or mechanical factors.
Unsatisfactory Restoration
Dental work that no longer functions properly or appears aesthetically pleasing due to wear, damage, or poor fit.
