Mouth and dental health

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is the process of removing color changes that occur in the structure of the teeth and cause aesthetics problems. Teeth whitening procedures can be performed by dentists in the hospital, or can be performed by the patient in the home environment with the instructions of the dentist.

Periodontology Applications

Periodontology applications are a set of procedures that enable patients who have problems with supportive tissues such as jawbone or gum to become healthy again. It is a form of treatment in which procedures such as making the area consisting of gums aesthetically necessary, reconstructing healthy gum tissue, correcting the growing gum with laser treatment. With periodontology applications, gingival recessions can also be prevented.

Prosthetic Applications

With removable prosthesis applications, patients can live a more comfortable life. Instead of the metal clasps of removable prostheses, which cause aesthetic problems, prostheses with sensitive attachments can be used in treatment.

Dental Implant Application

A dental implant can be defined as an artificial tooth root used instead of a tooth root. Titanium-based artificial roots are placed in patients who lose their teeth due to trauma, gum disease and decay. By adding fixed or removable prostheses to these roots placed in the jawbone, the tooth deficiency problems of the patients are eliminated.

In order to replace a missing tooth in a bridge prosthesis made by using traditional methods, two or more teeth must be abraded. In prostheses applied on the implant, support is taken from the implants directly added to the toothless area and the restoration process is performed. While the missing tooth problem is eliminated, the teeth adjacent to the problem area and the jawbone are also kept intact. The implant replaces real teeth and provides a natural structure. The implant replaces real teeth and gives a natural appearance.

Patients who are determined to have implants are subjected to clinical and radiographic tests. After the examinations, the type, diameter, size and prosthesis type of the implant application are decided. The process of fusion and integration of implants to the bone varies from patient to patient. The implanted area may also be effective in the union time. With the completion of the healing process, the transition to the prosthesis process is made. The determined fixed or removable prosthesis is attached to the patient.

Child Dentistry (Endodontics)

Endodontics or Pediatric Dentistry is a part of dentistry that deals with the treatment of pediatric patients for primary teeth before permanent dentition is completed and for young permanent teeth after completion. Processes such as practices that protect children from caries, treatment of caries in milk and permanent teeth, preventive methods from periodontal diseases, root canal treatments, early treatment of malocclusion are some of the areas that pediatric dentistry is interested in.

When a tooth decay is detected in a child’s teeth, determining the cause and protecting other teeth is of great importance. Making the teeth more resistant to decay with fluorine application and fissure sealants can be considered among the primary preventive treatment methods.

Children should be taken to dentists from an early age and their fears should be avoided. Children who meet dentists and the environment at a young age do not experience fear in their later years. In this process, parents can learn various information about how to protect their children’s dental health.

In children, for example, if tooth number 1 is lost for some reason, the other tooth number 2 may want to fill this gap. This may cause slipping in the teeth. This may prevent permanent teeth that will replace milk teeth from growing from their ideal places. If permanent teeth cannot develop as they should, they put pressure on other teeth and cause distortion. Orthodontic problems can be seen in children as a result of distortion. For this reason, fixed or movable placeholders can be applied for early loss of milk teeth in children.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the field of expertise that provides the fight against disorders related to the teeth, jaw and face area, the treatment of existing disorders and the implementation of preventive measures. Orthodontic treatment can be applied to all patients with healthy teeth and gums. Although orthodontic treatment methods are seen as aesthetic among the public, they can prevent many problems in essence. For example, the crookedness in the teeth is prevented and the potential for decay formation is reduced. With the improvement of the teeth, gum diseases are prevented. On the other hand, problems with chewing complaints are also solved. While preventing dental disorders that may cause speech impairment, it has also been observed that orthodontic treatments are sometimes applied in order to obtain better prostheses.

Dental Treatment with General Anesthesia

General anesthesia is a method of unconsciousness of the patient in a controlled manner performed by doctors. In this way, the patient can have dental surgery without pain. When the treatment methods are completed, the medication given to the patient is stopped and the patient starts to wake up slowly. In this process, all vital values ​​of the patient are monitored instantly by the general anesthesiologist. Therefore, general anesthesia should not be performed in dentist offices, but in a hospital environment where appropriate precautions are taken and all equipment is available. In oral and dental health treatments, general anesthesia is applied in patients who are afraid or anxious, patients who are still younger who cannot be persuaded for treatment, patients with a physical disability (such as tremor) and mentally disabled patients.
