I want you to have an idea,how would your favourite actress will look like,if they didn’t take care of their tooth.

Hope you have had an idea about the importance of tooth when it comes to beauty. But, remember this isn’t about your beauty, as a dentist I’m worried about the important function of teeth, that is chewing.

Before reading, I want you to have guess an approximate cost of replacing a tooth, given below are the different prices of replacing a tooth,take a guess,and keep in mind.

For a patient,who has lost a tooth,and considering the patient is below 40years of age,with no systemic conditions like diabetes,hypertension or any other systemic conditions, it would approximately INR30000 to get that tooth replaced,whether Dental implant or Bridge

And, if the patient has a badly damaged tooth, that is been giving pain or the patient is avoiding chewing on that tooth due to the fear of pain,it would cost approximately 10000 for a root canal and crown thereafter.

Considering an average of the essential tooth required for the normal chewing process,the average cost is taken as 3,00,0000 INR

But, remember “where there is a will,there is a way”, there is a simple way to save 3,00,000 on your dental treatment charges,and that is very simple.
