Always talk into your dentist’s right ear instead of their left!

Whether your dentist lives in London, Dublin, NY or wherever, no matter which rating you’ve read here, always talk into your dentist’s right ear!
Requests heard through the right ear are more likely to be heard and granted.
This is because sounds coming into the right ear are processed by the left side of the brain, and the left side contains the area involved in language comprehension and establishing contacts.
-
The left ear, on the other hand, is responsible for identifying dangerous or negative sounds. Studies have proved this!

Receding bone around implants

Bone sometimes tends to recede slightly around implants. You may not even feel any pain!

About 0.2 mm a year is considered „normal“. This is usually attributable to the implant system used, for example Astra® and Ankylos® implants hardly cause any recession at all. Actually, these systems often cause bone to accrue beyond the head of the implant, due to the conical connection of the abutments. Watch a video on this topic here.

If bone recedes more than 0.2 mm, this may be due either to a bad positioning of the implant or an inflammation. Dentists call this peri-implantitis. This can only be treated in the initial stages, making regular check-ups‚ called re-calls, after implantation a must. This can help save your implant!

An x-ray plainly shows the outlines of the bones.
