Teeth treatment

At «Oxford Medical» dental treatment for adults and children is carried out using the latest technologies. The clinic is equipped with the most modern equipment from leading world brands. High-quality drugs are used for anesthesia, thanks to which the treatment is painless.

You need to visit the dentist every 6 months - prevention is the key to healthy teeth and gums. And if dark spots, chips or pain appear, you should make an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible.

Common causes of tooth and gum disease are:

• poor oral hygiene;

• frequent use of whitening toothpastes containing abrasive particles;

• thinning, demineralization, enamel cracks;

• frequent consumption of sweets and drinks containing large amounts of sugar and acids;

• unbalanced nutrition and deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body (fluoride, phosphorus, calcium, vitamin D, etc.);

• smoking;

• changes in the pH level of saliva;

• vitamin deficiency;

• metabolic disorders;

• genetic predisposition;

• some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and endocrine system, as well as long-term use of certain medications.

For prevention and early diagnosis of dental diseases, it is recommended to undergo a dental examination every 6 months.

An unscheduled appointment with a doctor should be made in the event of:

• toothache;

• increased tooth sensitivity;

• flux;

• enamel cracks, chips;

• darkening of the color of the teeth;

• black spots or carious cavities;

• exposed tooth neck;

• tooth mobility;

• injuries, tooth loss, etc.

In "Oxford Medical" treat all diseases of the teeth and gums, including:

• caries;

• pulpitis;

• periodontitis;

• gingivitis, periodontitis and periodontitis;

• periostitis (flux), abscess and phlegmon.

The clinic's specialists also perform professional cleaning and teeth whitening using innovative systems, install instant and ceramic veneers, implant lost teeth and prosthetics, as well as align the bite and dental row.

In each case, the dentist performs a thorough examination and, if necessary, prescribes diagnostic procedures (X-ray, computed tomography), after which he selects the optimal treatment method.

If not treated in time, tooth decay can lead to complete tooth destruction. It is also possible for the infectious-inflammatory process to spread to soft tissues, which is accompanied by severe pain and other symptoms.

Complications of caries can be:

• pulpitis ⎼ inflammation of the soft tissues of the tooth;

• periodontitis ⎼ inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the root of the tooth;

• abscess, phlegmon ⎼ purulent inflammation;

• crack and fracture of the crown ⎼ destruction of the tooth.

Pulpitis develops when caries reaches the inner cavity of the tooth - the pulp, in which the vessels and nerve endings are located. When inflammation develops, it is necessary to remove soft tissues and fill the canals that connect the pulp to the jawbone. If this is not done, the inflammation can spread lower and lead to complete destruction of the tooth and its subsequent removal.

Prevention plays a key role in maintaining the health of teeth and gums. It is advisable to carry it out starting from childhood. In particular, children are recommended to regularly undergo professional teeth cleaning, fluoridation and fissure sealing. But do not forget about the simplest methods - brushing your teeth after each meal, giving up bad habits and eating healthy.

The main methods of preventing dental diseases are:

1. Brushing your teeth after each meal and before bedtime. It is recommended to use a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. You should brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. You can also use special mouthwashes.

2. Use dental floss. It helps remove food debris and bacteria from between the teeth, where a toothbrush cannot reach.

3. Minimize the consumption of sweets and foods containing acids. Sugar and acids contained in food and drinks can destroy tooth enamel and contribute to the development of cavities.

4. Proper nutrition. A balanced diet provides the body with all the vitamins and minerals necessary for healthy teeth and gums.

5. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. These substances can negatively affect gum health and cause dental problems.

You should also have a dental check-up every 6 months and have your teeth professionally cleaned regularly.
