- Dental ExaminationAs part of the comprehensive examination, the doctor will examine the mouth to detect if the patient experiences pain or other abnormalities while swallowing. During the oral cancer screening process, the dentist may perform oral CDX brush test to remove cells from the oral cavity. VELscope (Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope) system is used by the dentist to help differentiate between normal and abnormal cells, utilizing the blue light excitation. The dentist may also use a special tool, nasopharyngolaryngoscopy, which is a flexible fiber optic camera for detecting head and neck cancers. The flexible fiber optic scope is passed transnasally into the nasopharynx to thoroughly inspect larynx and pharynx.

- Dental SealantsRoot canal treatment is performed by a qualified dentist who is specialized in Endodontics treatment. In the past, most people feared root canal treatment. It is time-consuming and the pain lasts for a long time. Due to modern advances in Endodontics technology, the root canal procedure is painless as getting a cavity filled. The entire root canal procedure will be completed in 2 or 3 visits to the dentist's office. An endodontist could spot the infected tooth through a routine exam and X rays. Local anesthesia is administered for endodontic pain, isolating the infected tooth from the saliva with a rubber dam. An opening is made through the side of the tooth to flush out the diseased pulp and the nerves with water. After cleaning thoroughly, the root canal is filled with a sealant. The cleaned root canal is sealed with the standard filling material, gutta percha, a natural polymer prepared from latex from the percha tree. Sometimes a plastic rod is inserted to provide structural support to the root canal. A dental crown is properly fitted on the tooth to restore the natural shape and color of the tooth. Once a crown or filling is done, a person can use the tooth as before. Loss of a dental nerve will not negatively impact health and affect your daily routine activities.

During your next visit the inlay or onlay will be placed into your mouth and set with cement. Your tooth will look natural and you or anyone else won't be able to tell the difference.
