Tooth discolorations-dark teeth

Posted by Dental News Team On August - 31 - 2010

The colour of our teeth is crucial for the charme of our smile! Tooth discolorations and dark teeth can be treated…

We know that full lips appeal attractive, but without beautiful, white shining lips, “Angelina Jolie” lips would not be perfect.

First of all: Teeth are not white! The yellowest tooth is the canine, the lateral incisor is darker than the central incisor-you’ll get more on aesthetic dentistry if you use this link! Now we know: Teeth are not as white as curtains!
-

The smile line of the visible teeth is usually surrounded by the lower lip and ends in the gums between the fourth and fifth upper jaw premolar.

-

Without having healthy side teeth no healthy front teeth! More on this in another article-stay tuned ;-)
-

Tooth discolorations: More on this in the video tooth discolorations and tooth anomalies!

Basically you should differentiate between exogenous (external) discolorations and endogenous („internal“) discolorations. Either can be treated with dental cosmetics or bleaching (home; office). Tenacious discolorations can be treated with veneers!

Root treatment or implant?

Posted by Dental News Team On June - 30 - 2010

Which therapy is appropriate for me-root treatment or implant?

Over and over you hear horror storys about “dead” teeth, thus root treated teeth. But: There are no “dead” teeth existing. The tooth is a mineral and thus “lifeless”.
The tooth has a tissue-the pupla. If the pulpa is infected, e.g. caused by cavity, a root treatment should be performed. If a bad root treatment is performed-thus without a coffer dam, visual augment and sterile endo box- the root treated tooth is like poison for the body!
-

A well root treated tooth can last a whole life!
The sealing of the tooth by the crown is also important-e.g. with a ceramic inlay or a crown. If the canals are well cleaned and filled as well as the ingresses are sealed by inlay or crown, the tooth is lasting, a bacteriainvasion from the oral is impossible!
-

Usually this treatment is very expensive, which leads us to the headline. It can cost 700€-1500€-prognosis and thus durability should bear in relation to the effort.
-

If there are more problems (bone loss, heavy convoluted canals, focus on the root tip, big fillings) an tooth removal-thus implantation is the best way in many cases.
-

If you are a heavy smoker or you don´t like mouth hygiene that much, then a tooth implant is probably not the better choice, you try to save the tooth intensively.
-

The anamnesis decides on the reasonableness of an implant or root treatment and has to varies from case to case. You are in good hands if your dentist takes time for you to talk about the different factors!

Gum boil, abscess, gingival recession?

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 21 - 2010

There is a blister on my gum-is it a gum boil, an abscess or the consequences of gingival recession?

All of these three symptoms can be chracteristics of chronical gingivitis!

An abscess appears acutely-especially in summer, when it´s getting warmer. The reasons are gum diseases, dead teeth and bad root treated teeth.
A gum boil mostly appears chronically. Most of the time patients have had abscesses before and the inflammations turn into gum boils.

Gingival recession is a late symptom and appears if a parodontitis/abscess has not been treated or wrong treated.

-

If you have/had one of those three symptoms over and over again, please see a doctor immediately!

Gingivitis, reasons, process, therapy opportunities!

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 20 - 2010

Reasons of a gingivitis:

Most people know gingivitis, it  hurts and slightly bleeds. Reasons of a gingivitis are:

  1. Plaque
  2. Plaque restoration/crown edge modified
  3. Plaque asociated with hormonal influence
  4. Gingivitis while menstruation
  5. Gum diseases while pregnancy
  6. Gum diseases with  diabetics
  7. Gingivitis associated with blood count disorders

process:

Normally the inflammation heals up as soon as it´s reasons are resolved. A constantly recurring gum can result in bone loss-a so called parodontitis, which results in tooth loss if untreated over many years.

therapy opportunities:

1 and 2 are the most frequent reasons account for more than 90%, both reasons are able to treat easily-You only have to brush your teeth better and dentists have to work more exact!

How does a healthy gum look like?

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 19 - 2010

Is my gum healthy or isn´t it?

A healthy gum is pale pink, tight knit to the gum and shows a stippling on closer inspection-similar to an orange.

A healthy gum does not bleed, even if you are eating an apple, brush your teeth or the dentist is working in your mouth.

-

A slightly bleeding gum is a sure sign of an inflammation-a so called gingivitis!

Some people stop brushing their teeth, since they are afraid of the blood-as a result the gingivitis is getting worse and it starts bleeding profusely! Please do not stop brushing your teeth! You can also use oral rinse!

If you are suffering from gum bleeding, please see a dentist-it could be an indication of paradontitis-more on this in the next articles!
