## Is it painful?

Painless treatment is how we work. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthesia before we begin, so you feel pressure, not pain. Dr. Sneha explains each step before she starts.

## Aftercare

- Sip water often and chew sugar-free gum if your mouth is dry.
- Use fluoride toothpaste to protect exposed roots.
- An electric or thick-handled toothbrush and interdental brushes make cleaning easier.
- Clean dentures daily, remove them at night, and keep them in water.

See us promptly for any mouth sore that does not heal within two weeks.

## Cost

Dr. Sneha confirms any treatment cost at the visit, before anything is done.

Consultation from ₹100.

## Questions about care after 60

**Is it too late to save my teeth?**

Rarely. Many teeth can be saved with cleaning, fillings, root canals or crowns.

**Why is my mouth always dry?**

Many common medicines reduce saliva. Sipping water, sugar-free gum and saliva substitutes help, and we check for decay more closely.

**Does diabetes affect my teeth?**

Yes. It raises the risk of gum disease, so regular cleanings matter even more.

**How should I care for my dentures?**

Clean them daily with a denture brush, remove them at night, keep them in water, and never use hot water.

**How can I replace missing teeth?**

Options include bridges, implants and dentures. Dr. Sneha will explain what suits your health and budget.
