IMPACTED WISDOM TEETH

Impacted wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that don't have enough space to emerge or develop normally.

Impacted wisdom teeth may cause no apparent or immediate problems. But because they're hard to clean, they may be more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease than other teeth are. Impacted wisdom teeth that cause pain or other dental complications are usually removed.

Wisdom teeth usually emerge sometime between the ages of 17 and 25.

Symptoms:

Impacted wisdom teeth don't always cause symptoms. However, when an impacted wisdom tooth becomes infected, damages other teeth or causes other dental problems, you may experience some of these signs or symptoms:

·         Red or swollen gums

·         Tender or bleeding gums

·         Jaw pain

·         Swelling around the jaw

·         Bad breath

·         An unpleasant taste in your mouth

·         Difficulty opening your mouth

Complications:

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause several problems in the mouth:

Damage to other teeth. If the wisdom tooth pushes against the second molar, it may damage the second molar or increase the risk of infection in that area. This pressure can also cause problems with crowding of the other teeth or require orthodontic treatment to straighten other teeth.

Impacted wisdom teeth gives pressure on the adjacent tooth results in resorption of the adjacent tooth root.

Decay. Partially impacted wisdom teeth appear to be at higher risk of tooth decay (caries) than other teeth. This probably occurs because wisdom teeth are harder to clean and because food and bacteria get easily trapped between the gum and a partially erupted tooth. Because of impacted tooth, adjacent tooth may get decayed in most cases.

Gum disease. The difficulty cleaning impacted, partially erupted wisdom teeth increases the risk of developing a painful, inflammatory gum condition called pericoronitis in that area.

Cysts. The wisdom tooth develops in a sac within the jawbone. The sac can fill with fluid, forming a cyst that can damage the jawbone, teeth and nerves. Rarely, a tumor — usually noncancerous (benign) — develops. This complication may require removal of tissue and bone.

Prevention:

Regular six-month dental appointments for cleaning and checkups enables your dentist to monitor the growth and emergence of your wisdom teeth. Regularly updated dental X-rays may indicate impacted wisdom teeth before any symptoms develop.

SMOKING DAMAGES YOUR TEETH..!!!

DENTAL BLEACHING

FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION

                                   Full mouth reconstruction, rehabilitation and restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.

The need for full mouth rehabilitation may result from:

• Teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma.
• Teeth that have been injured or fractured.
• Teeth that have become severely worn as a result of long-term acid erosion (foods, beverages, acid reflux) or tooth grinding.
• Ongoing complaints of jaw, muscle and headache pain requiring adjustments to the bite (occlusion).

Treatment Options for a full mouth rehabilitation:

A. Fixed prosthesis:

Dental crowns and bridges

Implant supported bridges

     

Implant supported dentures

Advantages of Fixed prosthesis:

•  They can greatly improve your smile’s aesthetics.
•  They are permanent fixtures in your mouth that can vastly improve your speech and chewing abilities compared to missing teeth and even more so than removable dentures. 
• They are not like removable dentures, which means they cannot fall out. 
• They can prevent teeth from moving along the jawline where missing teeth once were. Bridges also can prevent further misalignments caused by missing teeth.

B. Removable prosthesis:

    

complete Denture

 Advantages of Removable prosthesis:

• They can greatly improve your smile’s aesthetics.
• They are removable fixtures that can improve your speech and chewing abilities compared to missing teeth. Since they are removable, they do not need to attach to other natural teeth as dental bridges do

    

Flexible denture

• They can prevent teeth from moving along the jawline where missing teeth once were. Dentures also can prevent further misalignments caused by missing teeth.

Gum therapy using lasers.

LASER GUM THERAPY

Laser gum therapy or LANAP is the most effective way to treat gum disease.

Laser gum therapy not only gives comfort during and after treatment, but also shows a better result by repairing and laying down new bone.

Gum disease or Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth.

Gum disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults.

Early stage of gum disease is called gingivitis.

This is a reversible condition, which can be cured by a professional scaling and proper oral hygiene maintenance.

BEFORE AND AFTER SCALING

Advanced stage of gum disease is called periodontitis.
During this stage your teeth may become loose or even fall down.

SIGNS OF GUM DISEASE:

• Loose teeth.
• Receding gums.
• Bleeding gums.
• Red and swollen gums.
• Bad breath.
• Pockets.

ADVANTAGES OF LASER GUM THERAPY OVER CONVENTIONAL GUM SURGERY:

• Bleeding is minimal.
• Healing and recovery time is shorter.
• No food restrictions.
• No sutures needed.
• Less invasive procedure.
