In a nutshell…

Tooth decay isn’t just caused by sugar or bad brushing—it’s an infectious disease. The cavity causing bacteria Streptococcus mutans feed on sugars, releasing acids that erode enamel and create cavities over time.

These bacteria spread through saliva, often from parent to child by kissing, sharing utensils, or blowing on food. A baby’s mouth is sterile at birth—bacteria enter only through contact.

Once inside, they attach to teeth and multiply rapidly in sugary environments. Early colonization means even milk teeth can decay quickly if hygiene and feeding habits aren’t carefully managed.

Believe in a second chance.
Unable to eat properly due to broken or missing teeth?
Implant supported crowns can be the answer. They are made if titanium and porcelain, being very strong while unaffected by decay.

Loving it when patient brought us food. This beef and mussels seaweed soup is so good. Always appreciate some home cooked dishes.

Built like tanks; these zirconia crowns and bridge are very strong; they can chew through almost anything, aside from construction nails.
9 years on and still look like new, thanks to patient’s diligent daily hygiene.
