What kind of thing is a tooth cyst? Cyst is an inflammatory mass, a very dense capsule. It appears to limit the spread of the developing infection. Cysts are usually formed at the upper part of the root of the tooth.
Early stages of dental abscess when the abscess is not yet formed it can be cured with the help of specific antibiotics and pain relievers. These medicines to cure dental abscess must be prescribed by an experienced dentist. First of all the dentist has to exam the condition of the root of the tooth. In some cases removal of the tooth may be needed. The doctor will also recommend you all necessary medicines to cope with your problem. If the dental abscess has reached the purulent stage it is necessary to remove the purulent mass and sanitize the infected area.
Pulpitis is an inflammatory process of the soft tooth tissues (of the nerve). Pulpitis is caused by pathogenic bacteria. The main symptom is severe pain especially while eating hot or cold food. The symptoms of pulpitis usually worsen at nighttime.
The main cause of pulpitis is pathogenic bacteria that secrete toxins. These toxins get into the pulp through the carious cavity. The main causative agent of the disease is streptococcus. However, pulpitis can be caused by other bacteria like staphylococci or lactobacilli. The first soft tooth tissues to be infected are those placed near the carious cavity. Later bacteria and their toxins get deeper into the pulp.
Should pregnant women cure their teeth? In fact, many women ask this question. During the period of pregnancy calcium metabolism is changed. Teeth start losing calcium. It may lead to such
disease as periodontitis.
During the period of pregnancy calcium is an important element of the organisms of the woman and her child. That is why it is absolutely necessary to treat teeth during pregnancy. Even if you eat food rich in calcium it will not save your teeth from desrtuction. If you teeth are not very healthy you can simply lose them and even faster than if you were not pregnant.
It is recommended to see the dentist during pregnancy and treat the damaged teeth if needed. The best time to treat teeth is midpregnancy.
The two most widely spread diseases dentistry has to do with are periodontitis and caries. Both diseases cause the formation of cavities. Periodontitis is a cavity between the hard tooth tissues and the support. Caries makes cavities in the hard tooth tissues. Both diseases develop rather slowly but usually they are steadily progressing.
Statistics says that dentistry takes the first place according to the number of complaints. Sometimes complaints are not grounded and are caused by lack of understanding between the 2 sides of the conflict or unreasonable desires of the patient. Though, sometimes real violations of the patients rights may take place. How can one explain such facts?
The most classical way to treat caries is to use the filling. It is possible to restore the functional and the aesthetic functions of the tooth. The filling is made by the dentist directly in the patients mouth cavity. Fillings can be made of various materials. Nowadays the most popular materials for fillings are chemically hardened composite materials or light composite materials hardened under the influence of special blue light. Light composite materials are durable, attractive and can fully restore the color of the tooth and its transparency.
First of all try to understand that the dentist does not want you to feel pain. Modern dentistry is developing ways and methods to make dental treatment painless. Modern technologies and anesthetic allow treating dental diseases fast and painlessly. Nowadays every dental clinic is willing to do everything for their patients. They can even help you to relax before the doctor starts treatment. There are no queues that make you sit and wait. You will have no time to feel nervous. Do not listen to all horror stories told by your friends. Probably they havent seen their dentist for a long time. Do not feel nervous. There is no sense to be afraid of dentists. The fact is that nowadays it is possible to treat teeth without pain.
The scientific term for
fear of dentists is stomatophobia (or dentophobia). The reason of this fear is hidden in the persons past experience connected with the visit or visits to the dentist. The fear will be stronger if the pain during your last visit to the dentist was especially severe.
Many people are afraid of dentists and are willing to postpone their visit to the clinic as long as possible. There are many fears people have developed since the earliest stages of history and the fear of dentists is one of the most widespread fears. Seeing other doctors and preventing other diseases somehow seems to be less frightening. It is enough just to say something about dentistry or dentists to spoil some peoples good mood.
