Message From Dr. Muruga

Dentists are not everybody's favorite person. Due to the fear of pain in the Dental Surgery, people often associate dentists with pain. Let me tell you otherwise. Modern dentistry is not like dental treatment in the days gone by. To start with, we have new materials that need no drilling to fill. That means all the dentists has to do is clean and fill - especially for big and deep cavities. Sometimes, however, the dentist has to 'open' the cavity with the drill to help clean it. This process is very minimal and once again, no pain. Don't take my word for it, experience it yourself at your next dental visit.

"Smiles" are becoming an important part of our appearance. We pay a lot of attention to our "looks" as we know, projecting the right impression, is important for our self-esteem and confidence, which is turn, is important for progress in our careers, good relationship with loved ones, and social acceptance. Since your smile is a prominent part of the face, it pulls a lot of attention. The good news is, there is a lot that can be done for an inadequate or ugly smile. That is what "Cosmetic Dentistry" is all about.

Tooth-colored fillings, crowns, bridges and orthodontic treatment(braces) are possible choice of treatment or options to correct the defects in your teeth to get the perfect smile. Don't be deterred by the cost as these range of treatment may cost a bit more. However, the satisfaction and benefits in improved self-esteem and 'feel good' factor, far outweigh the cost implications.

The new millenium poses many challenges, but as we race into it, let us not forget that health is an important priority - "your mouth is the gateway to your whole body". Take care of your teeth and gums and it will serve you well. All you have to do is brush your teeth at least twice daily and visit ypur dentist, even if you have no problems.

I look forward to have you at our Tropicana Dental Surgery. Come and experience Dentistry as it should be in this new Millenium.
