Zobu higiēna – labākais veids kā uzturēt savus zobus veselus

Julija Skurjate2024-12-12T15:30:43+02:00

☝Dental hygiene plays an important role in oral and general health. ☝When done regularly, at least once a year, it is possible to avoid various gum and tooth diseases. ☝Dental hygiene is necessary to remove calculus and subgingival tartar. Tartar serves as a favourable environment for bacteria and micro-organisms that cause various oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis or periodontitis, the treatment of which is quite lengthy and unpleasant. In very severe cases, these diseases can lead to tooth loss. The only procedure that can help fight tartar build-up is regular professional oral hygiene.👄🦷👩🏻‍⚕️

About endodontic or root canal treatment

Julija Skurjate2024-12-12T15:30:51+02:00

We have already told you about the endodontic or root canal treatment. In this case, the patient came to us with acute pain on temperature irritants. On clinical examination and x-ray, it was noticed that a recurrent hole had developed under the existing filling, which had affected the nerve of the tooth. Root canal treatment, filling and a new composite filling were performed. The patient's symptoms disappeared and now has a functioning tooth.🦷💚👩🏻‍⚕️

Dental fillings

Julija Skurjate2024-12-12T15:30:58+02:00

1. Tooth restored with onlay made in the laboratory. The tooth had lost ~50% of tissue due to caries, so the decision was made to restore the tooth with an onlay instead of a filling. This reduces the risk of fracture🙌👄 2. The tooth was restored with a filling. This tooth did not have a large defect, so it could be safely restored with a composite filling🦷

Can I have a dental crown placed immediately after tooth extraction and immediate implant placement?

Julija Skurjate2024-08-23T14:14:10+03:00

Yes, you can have a temporary crown if the implant is firmly fixed in the bone, but you must not bite on it, usually in the incisor area for aesthetic reasons. If the implant is weak or insufficiently fixed in the bone, then the implant is placed: 👉 a cover screw and the gum is sewn shut (usually for 2-3 months or 5-6 months in the case of a synovus implant). After that it is necessary to open the implant, place a gingival former, wait 2-3 weeks or form the gum with a temporary crown (2-3 weeks) and then order

Why is it important to replace a lost tooth immediately and how?

Julija Skurjate2024-08-23T14:14:10+03:00

The tooth is located in the jawbone, the root part is held by the bone and protected by the gum. When you lose a tooth, the bone and gum decay over time. ☝The longer the missing tooth is not replaced, the deeper the defect, which is harder to restore. It is important to retain the tissue around the tooth immediately, most often by placing an implant immediately after tooth extraction (extraction or extraction). ☝It is easier and cheaper to place an implant (if the bone volume is sufficient), the crown of the future tooth will be more aesthetic and a

Why visit the dentist even if you don’t feel toothache?

Julija Skurjate2024-12-12T15:31:05+02:00

☝🦷Caries at the contact points of the teeth (between the teeth) are often considered to be the relatively "most dangerous" caries. This is because holes in the spaces between the teeth cannot usually be seen for very long, so they are often detected when the patient complains of pain. In the case shown in the pictures, the holes in both teeth were only detected thanks to a follow-up X-ray. 👉 The first picture shows the teeth when all the carious masses had been removed and the teeth were ready for filling. 👉 The second picture shows the final result after

What materials are used to make dental crowns?

Julija Skurjate2024-08-23T14:14:11+03:00

The range of materials is vast - plastics, composites, metals, ceramics and zirconia. 🦷 Ceramics - placed in the incisor area e.g. veneers or crowns, as they are aesthetically pleasing. Disadvantages - material is brittle, can break, care should be taken when biting fork or fruit stone. 🦷 Metal ceramic - ceramic based on a metal frame, durable crown, but placed in the lateral areas where aesthetics are not a priority, as the metal edge casts a shadow near the gum. 🦷 Metal crowns - are dental crowns that are not coated and can serve as an abutment for removable
