My name is Saumitra Saravana. I have been a Dentist for over 16 years. After practicing Dentistry in India, I came to the U.S and pursued additional training at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA. It has been my priority to be the best Dentist I could be. I did this by staying current with all the developments in the field and have consistently focused on improving my skills.
In my "Dental Journey", I was fortunate in having many experienced practitioners act as my mentors. As a mark of my training and accomplishments, I was awarded Fellowship of the Academy of General Dentistry (F.A.G.D) in 2011.

The disease starts mostly when a layer called Plaque, accumulates on the teeth.
When plaque is not promptly removed, calcium from saliva hardens on to the plaque to form - Tartar or Calculus.
Your body naturally tries to fight off these invaders with an inflammatory attack, sending white blood cells to the area to destroy the bacteria.
It is this inflammation that causes the gum tissue to bleed easily when you brush or floss.
There is some evidence that this inflammation adds to the inflammatory burden in your body resulting in a possible increase in other systemic diseases such as Strokes, Heart Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis etc. Once the body starts to fight off this infection, there is an unfortunate "friendly fire" type damage that occurs to the supporting structure of your teeth, the periodontium.

Most of us have three sets of molars.
Molars are the big chewing teeth that are to be found further back in your mouth.
The first set comes in when we are around 6 or 7 years old, followed by another set at around 12 years.
The last set of these teeth also known as Wisdom teeth have a wide variation in when they come in or if they do come in.
Most of us do not have enough room in our mouths to fit these teeth and its a common finding to see these teeth stuck half way in the mouth.
These half erupted teeth tend to collect food and debris and set off gum infections or cavities in adjacent teeth.

A Root Canal is a procedure done to clean infection in the deeper parts of your teeth also knows as roots.
This is not unlike a cavity filling where the dentist would mechanically and chemically rid the tooth of the infection and seal the defect with a filling.
The Root Canal is similarly a restorative procedure undertaken when the deeper parts of the tooth is affected by a bacterial infection of the tooth.
This is not unlike having a high blood pressure problem that has gone unnoticed for a long time.
