Implant Decisions
Implants. What should we be aware of before embarking on implant therapy.
What are implants?
They are titanium “screws” that are placed in the jaw bone via a surgery to function as roots. Crowns or bridges are connected over the implants to replace missing teeth.
Due to rapid technological advancement in the field of implants, implants now
provide an improved alternative to replacing teeth with a reasonable to good long term success rate.
Healthy Mouth For A Healthy Life
Why is it important to have a healthy mouth at all stages of life?
Most dental diseases are silent till at an advanced stage yet most people only visit the dentist when there is a problem. Examples of dental diseases are gum disease, early decay, erosion, excessive attrition and early oral cancer.
So why is it important to make sure that our mouth is in a healthy state all times of our lives especially when we are medically healthy? This can be achieved with thorough check ups and Xrays as well as regular maintenance visits to the dentist. The reason is that when we are diagnosed with a chronic or terminal disease , there is often not enough time to make sure that our mouth is healthy before starting the treatment of our medical illness. If we have gum disease or decay in the mouth and should need dental care after the aggressive medical treatment has started, it is often very difficult to get an ideal result dentally. Also, there are some medical conditions that affect our oral condition and vice versa.
Importance of Dental Scalings
Are all dental scalings the same?
Why should we get regular scalings with a dentist even if we do not have a problem?
The gums and jaw bone form the foundation to hold our teeth in place. We need our teeth not only to maintain a healthy diet, to empower us with a socially acceptable smile as well as to ensure good health in general.
Decay (caries) and gum (periodontal) disease are the most common reasons people lose teeth and both can be prevented in most cases by removal of plaque.
What is plaque?
Plaque is that sticky, colourless film that constantly forms on your teeth. It is a film of bacteria and their by-products. It is like “moss” on wet ground and is not easily removed unless the correct way of brushing and flossing is implemented.
It sits beneath the gum line and hardens to become tartar if not removed within 3 days.
