Dental department is working since Hospital came into existence. During the last two years, it has remarkably changed regarding the delivery of services with new themes of sterilization. To meet the new challenges presently, we are offering many more procedures than ever before. We are struggling to overcome the current issues. We believe that in not so distant future we are going to provide teaching level facilities. Dental department continues to deliver its motto to deliver the services with kindness. Our crew comprises of Dental surgeons, bio-technologist, dental technicians and other allied staff. Dentistry usually encompasses practices related to the oral cavity. According to the World Health Organization, oral diseases are major public health problems due to their high incidence and prevalence across the globe, with the disadvantaged affected more than other socio-economic groups. The majority of dental treatments are carried out to prevent or treat the two most common oral diseases which are dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal disease (gum disease or pyorrhoea). Common treatments involve the restoration of teeth, extraction or surgical removal of teeth, scaling and root planning and endodontic root canal treatment. All dentists in the United States undergo at least three years of undergraduate studies, but nearly all complete a bachelor's degree. This schooling is followed by four years of dental school to qualify as a "Doctor of Dental Surgery" (DDS) or "Doctor of Dental Medicine" (DMD). Dentists need to complete additional qualifications or continuing education to carry out more complex treatments such as sedation, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dental implants.
