Teeth cleaning may cause sensitivity, that will gradually subside in few days.Would suggest teeth polishing after cleaning.Dental polishing smoothens the surface of the teeth.
OPG is a (orthopantomogram) dental x- ray that provides an overall view of the teeth,jaws and joints.There are not specific risks involved in taking this x-ray.Cost of the OPG radiograph will be Rs.500
Health Tips
It's best to avoid any food or beverages that are especially hot or cold immediately after teeth cleaning and polishing.
