Dental guides for Sri Lankan patients
Straightforward explanations of the treatments people ask about most. These guides are general information and do not replace an examination by a registered dentist.
How often should you visit a dentist?
Most people need a dental check-up every six to twelve months, but the right interval depends on your own risk of decay and gum disease.
What is scaling and polishing?
Scaling removes hardened plaque that brushing cannot shift; polishing smooths the tooth surface afterwards so deposits build up more slowly.
Root canal treatment explained
A root canal removes infected pulp from inside a tooth so the tooth can be kept rather than extracted.
Braces and orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects the bite, usually over one to two and a half years, and always ends with retainers.
Children's dental care
Good habits before school age prevent most childhood decay, and milk teeth need treating even though they will be lost.
How to choose a dental clinic in Sri Lanka
Registration, clear pricing, visible infection control and honest explanation matter more than how new the waiting room looks.
