For 26-year-old Roma Chawla,a fashion designer working in Mumbai,it was really funky to get a smiley on her tooth. “It was just doing something different that attracted me to get a tattoo on my tooth,” says Chawla. For-27-year old Paras Desai,a real estate professional who had to undergo root canal treatment,it was an impromptu decision to get a tooth tattoo and he opted for an Ichiban (number one in Japanese).
“It doesnt hurt and can be removed if I decide to later,” says Desai,who simply had to wait for the laboratory technician to paint,glaze and bake the design on the tooth and get it fitted by the dentist!
Meanwhile Chivte’s dental clinic has launched a conscious sedation technology. “We have introduced a reflexology technique that helps patients overcome their fear of getting treated by a dentist. The foot reflexology guarantees that one can sit back and undergo the treatment without fear of pain.”
