Anjali Singh Rajput/Lucknow: You must have seen gold teeth in the teeth of villains in Bollywood films. Not only this, in olden times even elders preferred to have their teeth made of gold. But is gold tooth still made today or not and if so, how much does it cost?
Dr. Promila Verma, Professor Head of the Dental Department of King George Medical College, said that in the whole of India, gold teeth are made only in King George Medical University. Along with gold fillings in hollow teeth, gold caps are also made on the demand of the patients. The biggest reason for this facility being available only here in the entire country is that a special kit of tools was procured from Japan for this. This kit is only in KGMU. He also told that even today there is a craze among people for getting gold fillings and gold caps. But due to it being a bit expensive, people avoid getting it installed because they do not know its benefits.
Only 24 carat gold is used
Professor Promila Verma told that the Dental Department has its own lab. Here only 24 carat gold is used to make caps for special fillings of hollow teeth, because 24 carat gold is thin and soft. It can be stretched and shaped in every way. It takes at least a day to prepare the gold cap or gold filling. There are no side effects of 24 carat gold. People always use only 24 carat gold in food.
this is the price
He told that if someone wants to get a full cap made of gold, then it depends on what is the price of 24 carat gold per 10 grams or per gram and if someone wants to get it filled only in the hollow teeth, then it will cost between four and four carats. It can be done for five thousand.
Benefits of gold teeth
Professor Promila Verma said that the benefits of getting a gold tooth or gold filling are that it does not deteriorate throughout life. Its color always remains and gold never gets spoiled. Even if your tooth falls out, it can be used again, whereas any other metal cannot be used again and the price of gold always increases, so in such a situation, the patient has to face all the problems of getting a gold tooth or a gold filling. There are benefits.
Can be made from old jewelery also
Professor Promila Verma told that if someone brings his old jewelery or jewelery, then a gold tooth can be made from it or its filling can be done. He told that the work from melting the gold to beating it is done right here in the lab of KGMU. Everything happens in front of the patient due to which the patient does not face any problem.
