The Curing Light.

The Dental Curing Light is a piece of dental equipment used to polymerize resin-based composites. I like the sense of the "Curing Light" =p Crazy right?



The Keera Extension- At the Chairside I

Dental Myths in Pakistan... there sooooo many. Not a day passes without me getting to hear something from my patients; something new, absurd to a dentally-educated mind and yet familiar to someone who was once a patient not the dentist. We all had crazy dental notions and so did I. This is my reminder to me, to be patient with my patients.

 Yesterday I was suppose to extract a carious second molar and a small third molar next to it. My patient, a 26 year old gentleman questioned me twice whether the keera would extend to his adjacent teeth if I would extract them.

Q. Kia keera doosre daaton mein nahi phhail jayega nikalne se?

Ans. Well, firstly what is a keera? I'm going to share this picture from the page dental myths and facts


So that black thing that seems like it "ate" your teeth wasn't a parasite. It was the bacterial acid content decaying your tooth.. it doesn't "spread". And no, extraction will simply take the tooth out of your mouth it nothing to do with causing tooth decay. 

Keep brushing and ALL your teeth will remain healthy. =)
