Young dentist: Relax, don’t worry, it's my first extraction too.

The Names of The Teeth
Digital Panoramic X-ray
We are using the latest dental technology
Posteroanterior X-ray
Scaling
Removal of dental plaque and dental calculus from the surface of a tooth, from the surface of a tooth apical to the gingival margin accumulated in periodontal pockets, or from the surface coronal to the gingival margin.
Polishing
Smoothen all the exposed tooth surfaces with a rubber cup, a brush, or by an air polisher driven by a slow-speed hand piece or water unit.
Filling
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material.
Desensitation
Tooth sensitivity is tooth discomfort in one or more teeth that is triggered by hot, cold, sweet or sour foods and drinks, or even by breathing cold air. The pain can be sharp, sudden, and shoot deep into the nerve endings of your teeth.
Bonding
Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the tooth to restore or improve an individual's smile.
Inlay
Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown.
Denture
A removable appliance used to replace teeth.
Veneer
A veneer is a thin covering over another surface. Veneer (Dentistry), a thin layer of dental restorative material.
Crown
Restoration of teeth using materials that are fabricated by indirect methods which are cemented into place. Crown also known as "caps", is a dental procedure which includes reshaping a tooth and reducing its size by 25%.
Maryland Bridge
Dental prosthetic replacing a missing tooth by a bridging piece which is glued to the backs of the adjacent teeth.
Bridge
A bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal procedure: unhealthy or injured tooth, drilling and cleaning, filing with endofile, rubber filling and crown
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Some people never develop wisdom teeth but you could have up to four - one in each corner of your mouth. Wisdom teeth don't usually cause any problems and so don't need to be removed. However, if there isn't enough space for them to grow at the back of your mouth (impacted wisdom teeth), they can cause pain, swelling or infection. Having your impacted wisdom teeth surgically removed (extracted) can help relieve your symptoms.
Crown Lengthening / Gum Recontouring
Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed by a dentist to expose a greater height of tooth structure in order to properly restore the tooth prosthetically.
Dental Implant
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement and is used in prosthetic dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth.
