Most people should have a checkup and cleaning every six months. At Bhardwaj Dental Centre in Jaipur, the clinical team may recommend a different interval after examining your gums, fillings, and any implant or surgical work. This is general guidance, not a personal treatment plan.

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, limit frequent sugar, and keep scheduled cleanings. BDC offers preventive care at all four Jaipur locations. If you have a high cavity rate, a dentist can check diet, dry mouth, and existing restorations.

No. Extracting a tooth does not damage the eye. The myth comes from upper back teeth sitting near the maxillary sinuses, which are close to the eye sockets. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons at Bhardwaj Dental Centre routinely extract teeth in Jaipur; unusual swelling, vision change, or severe pain after surgery needs urgent review.

Soft tissue usually settles in 7–10 days; bone can take several weeks. Healing varies with the tooth, smoking, and medical history. Follow the aftercare sheet from your BDC surgeon. Persistent bleeding, fever, or worsening pain after a few days should be assessed at the treating clinic.

At Bhardwaj Dental Centre, common options are dental implants, bridges, and dentures. Implant and oral-surgery cases are planned by the practice’s oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Suitability depends on gum health, bone, and medical history — decided at consultation, not from this page.

With daily cleaning and regular reviews, implants often last 15 years or longer, and many last decades. BDC has placed implants in Jaipur since the practice began offering surgical dentistry in 1981. Longevity depends on bone, bite, smoking, and maintenance — your surgeon will set expectations after examination.

Not everyone. You generally need healthy gums and enough jawbone (or a grafting plan). Uncontrolled medical conditions and heavy smoking can delay or rule out implants. Bhardwaj Dental Centre evaluates this in clinic; do not assume you are a candidate from an online FAQ.

Many mild-to-moderate cases can use clear aligners such as Invisalign, which BDC offers in Jaipur (including with Dr. Harmeet Passi Bhardwaj). Complex bites may still need braces or surgery. Only an in-person assessment can say which option fits.

Persistent bad breath can come from gum disease, tongue coating, dry mouth, trapped food, or non-dental illness. A dentist at any BDC Jaipur clinic can check gums and restorations. See a physician as well if you have sinus, stomach, or metabolic symptoms.

White (composite) fillings match tooth colour and bond to enamel. Silver (amalgam) is durable in some back-tooth situations. Bhardwaj Dental Centre discusses material, bite, and aesthetics during treatment planning. Neither is universally “better.”

Professionally prescribed whitening under a dentist’s supervision is generally safe for healthy teeth and gums. Over-the-counter kits can irritate gums or over-whiten restorations. Ask BDC before bleaching if you have decay, recession, or existing crowns.

Bleeding often means plaque-related gingivitis, sometimes periodontitis, or overly hard brushing. Regular bleeding is a reason to book a periodontal check at Bhardwaj Dental Centre rather than wait. This page cannot diagnose gum disease.

When the first tooth appears, or by the first birthday — whichever comes first. BDC’s Jaipur clinics see children for exams and prevention. Bring the child earlier if there is trauma, swelling, or obvious decay.

Dental X-rays use a low radiation dose. Digital imaging, which BDC uses, lowers exposure further. Your dentist orders films only when they change diagnosis or treatment. Tell the team if you are pregnant so they can adjust the plan.

Rinse with warm salt water and gently floss around the tooth. Avoid placing aspirin on the gum. If pain, swelling, or trauma continues, call Bhardwaj Dental Centre on +91 76655 31451 to be seen at Shastri Nagar, Paanch Batti, EHCC, or Civil Lines. Severe swelling, breathing difficulty, or uncontrolled bleeding is an emergency — seek hospital care immediately.
