A cavity isn’t just a hole in a tooth — it’s an active infection.

What begins as a small brown spot on enamel can, over time, spread through the root, invade the jawbone, and even reach the bloodstream.
Yes — a simple cavity can, in rare cases, become life-threatening.

Tooth decay is driven by bacteria that feed on food sugars and release acid.
This acid dissolves the enamel — the hardest tissue in the body — then invades the softer dentin, finally attacking the pulp where nerves and blood vessels live.
Once there, infection can travel beyond the tooth.

When bacteria reach deep tissues, they can cause a dental abscess — a pocket of pus that may spread to the face, jaw, or bloodstream.
Severe untreated cases can lead to endocarditis (infection of the heart), brain abscess, or sepsis — a body-wide inflammatory reaction that can be fatal.

Pain often appears when it’s already too late.
That’s why dental check-ups aren’t cosmetic — they’re preventive medicine.
Treat cavities early, brush after meals, floss daily, and never ignore tooth sensitivity.
Because a healthy tooth doesn’t just protect your smile — it protects your life.

Children with special needs sometimes exhibit fear or anxiety during dental treatment, which can complicate routine appointments and necessitate specialized behavioral management techniques. In these cases, it is deemed necessary to render the dental procedure in the Operating Room. This approach is often required due to the inability of these children to cooperate, stemming from a lack of psychological and emotional maturity.

BRHMC Dental Unit is a referral center for pediatric dental cases, which often include children with special needs whose conditions necessitate general anesthesia for comprehensive oral rehabilitation.

We also render dental procedures in the OR for neurotypical children who are uncooperative and impossible to treat in the dental clinic.

This video is posted with consent from the parents of our patient. Thank you, Sir and Ma'am for entrusting your child’s oral healthcare to our dedicated team at BRHMC Dental Unit, underscoring the critical role of specialized dental interventions for children with special needs.

When a tooth is lost and not replaced, it sets off a silent but steady chain reaction. The neighbouring teeth start to shift into the gap, while the opposing tooth over-erupts, disturbing the bite and creating long-term alignment problems.

With time, the jawbone beneath the missing tooth begins to resorb due to lack of stimulation. This bone loss can alter facial structure, reduce lip support, and make future restorations more complex or less stable.

As teeth drift, tiny spaces form between them, trapping food and bacteria. This leads to cavities, gum disease, and even infection, often progressing unnoticed until significant damage occurs.

Early tooth replacement isn’t just about appearance — it’s essential for maintaining bone health, bite balance, and overall oral function. Modern restorative dentistry offers reliable options like implants, bridges, and dentures to restore natural stability and prevent further complications.
