Dental Conditions

Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) occurs due to an abnormal fusion of the muscles of the soft palate when the baby is developing in utero. In the case of submucous cleft palate, the cleft is underneath the mucous membrane, which is the tissue that covers the palatal roof.

A cleft lip is seen as a split commonly on the upper lip and a cleft palate is formed when tissues that make the roof of the mouth don’t close together.

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary or inherited defect that interrupts the process of formation of tooth enamel. This condition affects the enamel which is the outer most layer of the tooth and makes it very thin and fragile.

Swelling of the lip occurs due to the accumulation of fluid in the extracellular area. Swelling of the lip occurs due to the trauma, allergy, infection, etc. Home therapies like an ice pack, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, etc. act best for the swollen lips.

Translucent teeth can be a sign that there is something wrong with your teeth. It is mostly related to thinning of enamel (outer most layer of the tooth), leaving your teeth more vulnerable to damage and caries.

Black tartar on teeth is a pigmented form of the traditional yellow tartar. Calcification of dental plaque forms yellow or tan colored tartar. Dental plaque is a colorless film coating our teeth so we can't see the plaque.
