Toothbrushes are invented to keep your mouth clean and remove bacteria that live in
dental deposit and food debris. But keep in mind that using a dirty toothbrush will do you no good because you will only infect yourself. It is recommended to use the same toothbrush for not more than 3 months.
The main task of a professional dentist is to do everything possible to save the bad tooth either completely or partially but do not remove it. There are a lot of methods that make it possible to save the tooth. One of such methods is removal of tooth pulp.
Let us introduce you a new trend in dentistry: treatment of teeth with the help of a laser. Laser (or quantum oscillator) is a device that produces focused, coherent, polarized, monochromatic flux of electromagnetic waves. Laser possesses unique properties. It is used in many areas of applied medicine and stomatolo9gy is not an exception.
Alveolitis is an inflammation of the maxillary alveolar socket. Alveolitistis is usually caused by an infection that may appear after traumatic removal of a tooth. Alveoplitis develops because of violations in the postoperational regime: excessive mouth rinsing washes the formed thrombus out of the alveolar socket and pathogenic bacteria can freely cause inflammation. Alveolitis can be also caused by the lack of the mouth cavity hygiene or when food debris gets inside the alveolar socket.
Diastema is an incomplete contact between incisors. Diastema is a visible defect of the denture and makes the smile look less aesthetic. If diastema (distance between the frontal group of teeth) is from 1,5 to 7mm it may make the patient worry.
The form of treatment of fluorosis depends on the stage of the disease. If the only symptom of the disease is the change of the color of dental enamel it is enough to bleach the teeth professionally and undergo demineralizing therapy. The dentist will also recommend you to take calcium-containing pills. Your teeth will be ok again in 6-8 months of treatment. Pigment spots on the enamel show that it is necessary to repeat the course of therapy. Do not forget about the rules of the mouth cavity hygiene and use a toothpaste with demineralizing effect.
Dental fluorosis is an endemic disease observed mostly with people living in places with high concentration of fluorine in soil and water. Fluorine is an important component of almost any organ though the highest concentration of
fluorine is in teeth and bones. The first symptom of fluorosis is injury of teeth.
Dental granuloma is a small purulent mass (like a cyst). Even despite the small size it is not recommended to neglect is as the consequences may be sad. Granuloma can develop and exist causing no pain but when it becomes acute pain will be horrible. Granuloma is also a serious source of infection and can easily cause diseases of kidney, heart, and other organs. That is why it is so important to treat granuloma in time.
Usually cysts are formed unnoticed. Only in some cases it is possible to indicate the cyst while it is still developing. Mind that while the cyst is growing the tooth tissue is being destroyed. The earlier you find the cyst the more chances you have to save your tooth. Pain, discomfort, and fever may appear at later stages of the disease.
First of all a cyst of the tooth is a dense capsule. This capsule is lined with epithelium and covered with connective tissues. There is a
root canal in the middle of the tooth. This way all infections get into the jawbone. Cyst needs a lot of empty space to be formed. A big carious cavity is needed for that. This way the pulp of the root canal becomes infected. Usually the whole process is painless. We learn about the disease only when the saliva washes necrotic tissues and creates a perfect environment for pathogenic bacteria.
