What is dental caries and what causes it?
Caries is a serious disease affecting our teeth. Unfortunately, the sad statistics show that most adults in our country suffer from it. It is caused by streptococcus bacteria, but of course they are not the only factor behind the development of caries. Favourable conditions must also occur, i.e. careless, irregular and improper oral hygiene and the consumption of caries-promoting foods. There are also certain factors that make tooth tissue more susceptible to caries, e.g. insufficient saliva production or enamel defects.
What does caries prevention look like?
First of all, we should remember about control visits that should be made at least twice a year. If you are particularly prone to tooth decay, you might want to visit the dentist more often. Utmost importance should be attached to proper and regular brushing of the teeth and cleaning the tongue. In addition to the brush and the paste, make sure to use dental floss to clean interdental spaces and lotions that help maintain good oral hygiene and fresh breath between brushing. A low sugar diet plays an important role, too. Detailed advice on how to prevent tooth decay will be given to you by dentists during a control visit to our clinic. They can also show you what proper brushing should look like.
What is the course of caries treatment?
Caries treatment is primarily aimed at removing changes that already occurred and inhibition of any further ones, as well as rebuilding the tissues of the tooth that have been destroyed. First, the dentist removes decay, and then gives the cavity the right shape to make the restoration perform its function. Then, the cavity bottom is coated with the medical material and the primer is applied according to what type of filling will be used. At the final stage, the doctor applies the filling and shapes it, adapting it to the patient's occlusion. Obviously, caries treatment can be performed under anaesthesia. We offer safe and effective formulations with which dental treatment will not be a stressful experience and sitting in the dentist's chair may be completely relaxing.
How can teeth hypersensitivity be treated at the dental surgery?
Tooth sensitivity is a very distressing ailment for the patients which is manifested by a piercing pain of varying intensity. This pain occurs when you consume cold and hot foods or drinks as well as in contact with what is very sweet or sour. Sometimes it also appears while brushing your teeth and even when we inhale cold air into the mouth. The most common reasons for hypersensitive teeth are their microdamages, gum diseases such as exposed tooth necks, teeth gnashing, too intense brushing, smoking cigarettes, consumption of products that destroy tooth enamel, but also, in some cases, such procedures as whitening or sandblasting, which makes enamel more sensitive. Fortunately, hypersensitivity of teeth can be treated successfully by aiding mineralization with, e.g., gel overlays or special formulations that are used as a mouthwash. An active ingredient here is high concentration fluorine. When the measures to combat hypersensitivity do not bring the expected results, your dentist may treat the tooth root canal by removing the nerve, making the pain of a tooth disappear. In any case of hypersensitivity, the specialist will attempt to diagnose its cause and get rid of it.
Endodontic treatment
When is root canal treatment necessary?
Endodontics deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the dental pulp (commonly called root canal treatment) and complications associated with this type of disease. The dentist undertakes endodontic treatment if he wants to keep alive the ailing pulp of the tooth or the tooth in which an irreversible inflammation process is happening, or in the case of pulp necrosis. Sometimes, as a result of long-term inflammation of the pulp or root canal treatment which was performed earlier, a dangerous inflammation of the periapical tissues sets in and the salvation for the tooth may also be professional endodontic treatment. The pulp of the tooth is inside the crown, in the root canal system. Disease of this "nerve" of the tooth is the most common consequence of untreated cavities that "expand", or it can also be the result of tooth damage. Endodontic treatment should be undertaken without delay, not only because of the risk of tooth loss. Inflammation of the dental pulp is a straight way to a number of diseases of the internal organs due to contamination of other parts of the body with root canal bacteria.
What is the course of root canal treatment?
During root canal treatment the dentist must remove all the diseased or dead pulp of the tooth. This is done mechanically with special instruments and chemically, by thoroughly preparing the root canals. Effective and lasting endodontic treatment depends above all on the complete and meticulous removal of all infected tissue, so this is one of the most important steps of root canal treatment. The shaping of the canal is also significant. The dentist gives it a slightly conical shape, tapering towards the top. The final stage of treatment is placing the filling and sealing the canal with a special material.
Modern root canal treatment using a microscope makes it possible to handle the most complex cases, which require precision and a delicate approach. We also offer this type of treatment at our clinic. A microscope is also used to remove a fractured endodontic instrument.
Endodontic treatment allows the patient to keep their own tooth, which will serve them for many years, and avoids a prosthetic restoration. Root canal treatment of a tooth is far better for the patient than extraction - not only economically, but also medically and aesthetically.
