Calling All In-house Dentists

@chiron: Depends on which dentist you are seeing, and in which city you reside. Still, I would call 25k for an titanium implant as reasonable.

@kippu: ABsolutely not. An extracted tooth has to be replaced, unless it is the wisdom tooth that has been removed. Normally, all teeth have a tendency to move towards midline, and similarly have a tendency to erupt continuously. The continuous eruption or the continuous drift towards midline is only inhibited by the presence of adjacent and opposing teeth. If you extract a tooth and do not replace it, the adjacent teeth will tend to move into this space; similarly the opposite tooth tends to erupt into this space. The end result is that, normal arrangement of teeth gets disturbed, leading to inability to clean teeth properly, hence resulting in more caries and gingival problems.

@Praks: Brush your teeth twice a day. More than the frequency, it is the method of brushing that is very important. Check out youtube videos for recommended toothbrushing method. At least twice a year, visit the dentist. If needed, he might do scaling to remove the calculus adhered to teeth.

@medpal: Seems you forgot my previous avatars... :P

Ok, I was wondering coz some I heard people get all their teeth implanted(though I guess the number of implants is less than actual number of teeth I guess) which would mean that procedure would cost a couple of lakhs :O
 
i got a root canal done, and yep the procedure barely hurts, i was done with it in 2 sittings, 1st sitting de-nerving , 2nd sitting root canal and 3rd formal hello how are you visit, crown seating.... Root canal these days is less painful than getting a tooth pulled
