Aren’t you scared of extracting your teeth? Come on! Most of us are! So now you are in your twenties and something at the end of your palette irritates you? Yes! That’s it! The wisdom tooth! Wisdom tooth removal Dubai can be simple or surgically done. Simple extractions are usually performed when the tooth is visible, already loose and only require dental forceps to lift it. While the surgical extraction involves the removal of teeth that cannot be easily accessed because they have not fully erupted or they have broken under the gums. This can be done either by extraction the tooth at a stretch or by splitting the tooth into multiple pieces.

Some more details

What is this wisdom tooth? It is the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often they are misaligned and require removal. When wisdom teeth are misaligned, they may position themselves horizontally, be angled towards or away from the second molars or be angled inward or outward. Poor alignment of wisdom teeth can crowd or damage adjacent teeth, the jawbone or nerves. The partial openings of the wisdom tooth can invite bacteria which can result in pain and swelling. It is also prone to tooth decay and gum diseases since it’s hard to reach for brushing and flossing.

Steps for wisdom tooth removal Dubai

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are metal (titanium) posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

How do Dental Implants Work?
Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures. Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges.

The American Dental Association considers two types of implants to be safe. They are:

• Endosteal implants— these are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post-individually, or grouped on a bridge or denture. This is the most commonly done type of impant.
• Subperiosteal implants— these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.Not longer done regularly.

Oral Care Specifics to IMPLANTS

If you are considering implants, you must have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. If your bone is too thin or soft and unable to support an implant, you may require a bone graft. Or if there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, you may require a sinus lift. . You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.

Teeth whitening in  Al Warqa Dubai

There can be many reasons for discoloring of the teeth. It can be because of the food, caffeine drinks such as tea & coffee, red wine, smoking etc.  Calculus and tartar can also be the reason for the color on the teeth. Continuous medication, especially antibiotics can leave a stain on the surface of the teeth.

There are several methods for the teeth whitening. One of the most common methods is that of professional bleaching. It can be done once in six months according to your dental conditions. The procedure is simple and painless. Initially, the dentist analyses your teeth and gum condition and recommends which treatment is suitable for you. For the bleaching, they will apply a gel on your teeth for guarding it against the chemicals and then move ahead on applying active ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

Radiographs can be broadly divided into two categories.

• Analogue x-ray- which is film based

And

• Digital x-ray.

While digital radiography is more common to see in hospitals. However, if we are to compare the two, there are quite a few benefits to digital radiography, specifically for a dentist’s office:

Less radiation needed to produce the same quality image as film (digital X-rays gives 70% less exposure to radiation than conventional X-rays).

The image is immediately processed and available to view on a computer,

You can enhance the digital image (such as alter brightness and contrast) with a series of processing techniques.

X-rays are an essential part of any dental care treatment plan. They are diagnostic, but they can also be preventative, by helping a dentist diagnose potential oral care issues in a patient’s mouth before they become a major problem.

Dental X-rays are divided into two main categories, intraoral and extra oral.

Intraoral is an X-ray that is taken inside the mouth.

An extra oral X-ray is taken outside of the mouth.

Intraoral Radiographs
Intraoral X-rays are the most common type. They give a high level of detail. These X-rays allow dentists to:

• Find cavities
• Look at the tooth roots
• Check the health of the bony area around the tooth
• See the status of developing teeth
• Otherwise monitor good tooth health

The various types of intraoral X-rays show different aspects of the teeth:

Bite-wing X-rays 

Dentists take one or two bite-wing X-rays on each side of the mouth. Each X-ray shows the upper and lower molars (back teeth) and bicuspids (teeth in front of the molars). These X-rays help dentists find decay between back teeth.

  Periapical X-rays

Highlight only one or two teeth at a time. A periapical X-ray looks similar to a bite-wing X-ray. However, it shows the entire length of each tooth, from crown to root.

Occlusal X-rays

Are larger than most X-rays. They highlight tooth development and placement in children. Each X-ray shows nearly the full arch of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw

Extra oral Radiographs
Extra oral X-rays are made with the film outside the mouth. These can be considered the “big picture” X-rays. They show teeth, but they also provide information on the jaw and skull. Extra oral radiographs are used to:

• Keep track of growth and development
• Look at the status of impacted teeth
• Examine the relationships between teeth and jaws
• Examine the bones of the face

Panoramic X-rays  

 Show the entire mouth on a single X-ray. They include all teeth on both upper and lower jaws. This type of X-ray requires a special machine. Because the machine moves in a set path, you have to be positioned carefully. Devices attached to the X-ray machine hold your head and jaw in place. All this may look and feel intimidating, but the process is very safe. It often uses less radiation than intraoral X-rays

Cephalometric projections are X-rays taken of the entire side of the head. They are used to look at the teeth in relation to the jaw and the person’s profile. Orthodontists (Doctor for Braces) use cephalometric projections to determine the best type of orthodontic treatment.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CT) provides three-dimensional images. You stand or sit while the machine rotates around your head. The cone-beam CT is particularly useful for dental implant selection and placement.

At Smilecare medical center, we offer our patients the convenience of digital X-rays including panoramic and cephalometric on a walk-in basis with no appointment necessary. For more information visit our website www.smilecaredubai.com or contact us on +971 4 2855066.

In case the teenage bubbly butterfly needs braces for the perfect smile, again visiting a dental clinic is mandatory. In spite of taking antibiotics without the consent of doctors for tooth ache, a proper consultation in a dental clinic may cure your illness.
