Everything you need to know before, during, and after your visit to ToothFix Dental Clinic.
We use advanced local anaesthesia techniques so most procedures are virtually pain-free. Our team is trained to ensure you feel comfortable at every step. If you experience any discomfort, just let us know β your comfort is our priority.
Routine checkups and cleanings typically take 30β45 minutes. More complex treatments such as implants, root canals, or orthodontic fittings may take longer. We'll give you a clear time estimate at the time of booking so you can plan your day.
Please bring any previous dental records, X-rays, or treatment reports if you have them β they help us understand your dental history and plan your care better. If you're on any medications, it's helpful to carry that information too.
Yes! We have a dedicated child-friendly environment designed to make dental visits fun and stress-free for your little ones. Our team is specially trained in pediatric dentistry to ensure a positive first dental experience.
With our modern rotary endodontic technique, most root canals can be completed in just 1β2 sittings. The exact number depends on the complexity of the case and the condition of the tooth. We'll explain the expected number of visits during your consultation.
Yes, absolutely. Our professional in-chair whitening treatments are safe for your enamel and far more effective than over-the-counter products. We use clinically approved whitening agents in carefully controlled concentrations to ensure both safety and excellent results.
With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant fuses with your jawbone and becomes a permanent part of your anatomy. The crown on top typically lasts 15β25 years depending on wear and oral hygiene.
We understand that dental treatments can be a significant investment. Please contact us directly to discuss flexible payment options that suit your needs. We'll do our best to make quality dental care accessible to you.
The ideal time is between 10β14 years, when most permanent teeth have erupted and the jaw is still growing β making treatment faster and more effective. However, adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment at any age. We offer a free orthodontic assessment to help you decide the right time.
Yes β certain health insurance plans in India cover dental treatments. Tata AIG's MediCare health insurance plan covers OPD dental procedures including root canal treatments, tooth fillings, and extractions. Note that OPD dental coverage typically has a 2-year waiting period. We recommend checking your policy documents or calling your insurer to confirm dental coverage. Our team can help guide you through the process.
We hear this from almost every first-time patient β and we completely understand. The truth is, modern dentistry has come a very long way. With advanced local anaesthesia, most procedures are completely painless. You'll feel pressure and movement, but not pain. At ToothFix, we take dental anxiety seriously. We take time to explain every step before we begin, and we always go at your pace. Many of our most anxious patients have told us afterwards that the anticipation was far worse than the procedure itself. You are always in control β if you need a break, just raise your hand. Our goal is to make every visit as comfortable as possible.
After an extraction: Bite firmly on the gauze pad for 30 minutes to control bleeding. Avoid hot food and drinks for at least 24 hours. Do not rinse your mouth forcefully for 24 hours β this can dislodge the blood clot. Take prescribed medicines as directed. Apply a cold compress (ice pack wrapped in cloth) on the cheek to reduce swelling. Rest and avoid strenuous activity on the day of the procedure.
Caring for braces properly will ensure faster, better results: Brush your teeth after every meal β food easily gets trapped around brackets. Use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean between teeth. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods (caramel, nuts, hard candy) that can damage brackets. Attend all scheduled adjustment appointments. If a bracket or wire becomes loose, contact us promptly.
We recommend visiting every 6 months for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. Regular visits help us catch small issues before they become bigger (and more expensive) problems. Patients with specific conditions like gum disease or braces may need more frequent visits β your dentist will advise you accordingly.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Hold it at a 45Β° angle to your gums. Use gentle circular motions β don't scrub. Brush for 2 minutes, twice a day. Don't forget your tongue! Change your toothbrush every 3 months.
Use about 18 inches of floss. Wind most around your middle fingers. Hold 1β2 inches tightly and slide it gently between teeth. Curve it around each tooth in a C-shape and slide under the gumline. Use a fresh section for each tooth.

Following these instructions carefully will help you heal faster and avoid complications after a tooth extraction.
