Teeth Whitening, healthy and white teeth is the symbol of beauty and health and has become a very preferred method. One of the most striking points in society is the beauty of the mouth and teeth. Therefore, it is possible to look more beautiful and healthier with cosmetic applications such as teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is the process of lightening the color of the teeth. Teeth Whitening What is Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)? Teeth Whitening, healthy and white teeth is the symbol of beauty and health and has become a very preferred method. One of the most striking points in society is the beauty of the mouth and teeth. Therefore, it is possible to look more beautiful and healthier with cosmetic applications such as teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is the process of lightening the color of the teeth. The color of tooth enamel changes due to genetics or various reasons. Teeth whitening is the chemical change of chromogens inside the tooth. It is a cosmetic application in which a solution for the problem is applied by using whitening gels of internal and external discoloration in the enamel structure. How is Teeth Whitening (Bleaching) Performed? The process starts with the cleaning of the calculus first. The stones on the teeth are completely cleaned with a teeth whitening method called polishing. This procedure should be done by specialist and professional dentists. It is a delicate operation. As a result, the materials accumulated on the tooth surface are cleaned and the tooth surface is made smoother. Afterwards, the soft tissues of the teeth (such as cheek, tongue, lip, gingiva) are isolated with a barrier. Because soft tissues are more sensitive. Therefore, it needs to be protected and kept away from chemicals. It is very important at this stage that the whitening chemicals do not come into contact with the gums. If the barrier is not applied successfully, it also temporarily whitens the gums. Although it is temporary, it will be useful to be careful because it will be a very unsettling situation for patients. After the whitening gel is applied to the teeth, it is activated by a light. Sessions of 15-20 minutes are repeated until sufficient whiteness is achieved under the control of the physician. After the teeth whitening process, the teeth are cleaned by washing with plenty of water. The sessions are repeated under the control of the physician until the desired whiteness is achieved, and the procedure is renewed if necessary. After the whitening process in the clinic, a mold containing whitening gel is placed on the teeth for the protection and continuity of whiteness and for home application. If the whitening process is performed under the control of a professional dentist, it does not harm the teeth and tooth enamel. It is not considered a harmful operation. Teeth Whitening (Bleaching) Methods Teeth whitening process and methods are increasing day by day and continue to develop. By changing the color of the dentin and enamel layers of the chemicals, the teeth are whitened and healthy and beautiful smiles are obtained. The bleaching process is done in two ways. The first of these is Office Type Bleaching, which is the process applied within a few hours in a clinical environment. The other is Home Bleaching, which we call Home Bleaching. But don't be confused when it comes to home type. You are asked to place a plaque containing a whitening gel, which is made under the control of the doctor and given by the dentist, on your teeth, following the instructions for use told by your doctor, and sleep in that way throughout the night. It is required to be worn for an average of 1 week and for 7 - 8 hours. This method is mostly recommended for the permanence and continuity of the process after the bleaching treatment performed in clinics. You can decide on the most appropriate treatment method by consulting your dentist. Are There Any Side Effects of Teeth Whitening (Bleaching) Procedure? Teeth whitening applied by dentists is a very popular and preferred cosmetic dental treatment method. If it is performed by specialist physicians, there is no harm to the teeth. On the contrary, dental calculus and tooth cleaning are necessary applications for teeth. There is no damage or permanent problem in the teeth. The application targets the colored part of the tooth enamel. It does not have any side effects on dental tissue or gums. Sensitivity may occur in cold – hot food and liquid consumption after bleaching. Usually, this disappears within 48 hours and this sensitivity is considered quite normal by dentists. The whitening process has no side effects as told by physicians. However, since the tooth structure will become sensitive for a short time, some details should be paid attention to. Tea and coffee should not be consumed immediately after bleaching. Consumption of colorful fruits and vegetables should be avoided. It is especially beneficial to stay away from red-colored foods. You need to pay more attention to your dental care after whitening. To preserve the whiteness for a long time, you should brush your teeth twice a day and use dental floss and mouthwash. Smoking is one of the most harmful habits that affect tooth color. Quitting smoking causes significant lightening of tooth color. Reducing cigarette consumption after whitening prevents re-coloring of teeth. Teeth may have a certain color genetically, not always as a result of things we do. Therefore, if the bleaching process is related to your bone color and is not sufficient, you can consult your dentist and try other methods. Why is Teeth Whitening Needed? It is a fast and reliable procedure without any side effects. The beauty of teeth draws attention in many places, from social life to business life, and therefore the dental aesthetics and cosmetics sector is formed. If you haven't been paying close attention to your dental health until today, the change in the color of your teeth can affect you psychologically. But with tooth color whitening, your teeth will regain their former beauty easily. Even if you do not neglect your dental care if you use too much acidic drinks and cigarettes, your teeth will not look as white as you would like. For this reason, you can choose whitening. The drugs and antibiotics you use as a result of physiological disorders can cause a change in the color of your teeth. As a result, you can reliably return your teeth to their old color with whitening, as it will not be easy to return your teeth to their old color with only tooth brushing. Healthy and beautiful smiles are obtained with reliable whitening under the control of dentists, whose tooth color is not liked or disliked by the patient. However, in some cases, people may not be suitable for whitening: People with gum disease, If you are addicted to alcohol and cigarettes, To pregnant women and new breastfeeding mothers, For milk teeth, Patients allergic to peroxide, It can not be applied by people who have problems in their teeth and caries. After the appropriate treatment is applied and the problem in the teeth is resolved, the teeth whitening process can be performed safely. Does Sensitivity Occur After Teeth Bleaching? More or less sensitivity may be seen after bleaching. However, this sensitivity is temporary and disappears within 48 hours. Painkillers can be used on the first day with the advice of the dentist. Since there will be sensitivity even for a short time after teeth whitening, attention should be paid until the sensitivity is gone. The use of whitening toothpaste should be interrupted for a short time because it contains abrasives. If your teeth are sensitive before whitening, you should notify your dentist and an action should be taken accordingly. If done with the right methods under the control of dentists, teeth whitening does not cause any harm to the teeth. The whitening process, which is very popular, is preferred by many people and is a cosmetic application, so it does not have any harm. It does not damage the tooth structure or cause permanent damage. In addition, it will be a useful procedure, as gingival problems will be treated and tartar will be cleaned before whitening. You should choose the centers and clinics you trust and go to. Whitening that is not done properly and unconsciously can damage your teeth. In addition, an application to be made using natural materials at home will cause irreversible damage to the teeth. Food materials such as baking soda and lemon do not whiten the teeth, on the contrary, they damage the tooth structure and cause the color to become darker. Lemon softens the tooth enamel with its acidic structure, and baking soda erodes the teeth by scratching them. It becomes susceptible to cavities and sensitivity, and the enamel, which is the strongest structure of the tooth, disappears. Bleaching should be done under the supervision of a physician, and any food material not recommended by physicians should not be used uncontrollably. How Teeth Lose Their Whiteness (Bleaching)? It is said that the whitening process has a permanence between 6 months and 2 years. However, since it is a cosmetic procedure, it may differ according to the tooth structure and use. Teeth whitening will gradually lose its effect due to factors such as not paying attention after the whitening process, neglecting oral and dental care routines, smoking, consuming acidic beverages, ignoring the use of dental floss and mouthwash. However, it will still not return to its original color. It is very necessary to visit the dentist at certain intervals and to repeat the necessary procedures for the continuity of whiteness. If you support office whitening with home whitening, your teeth will not return to their old state, and you will have white teeth by paying attention to certain criteria for a long time. Teeth Whitening Centers Teeth whitening is a method that should be applied by a dentist in a clinical setting. Although it is a risk-free and easy process, it will be in your best interest not to choose centers that you are unsure of and doubt. You can visit DentAsya, the oral and dental health polyclinic, and get information from our specialist physicians and experienced staff. Teeth Whitening (Bleaching) By doing a little research, you can reach many people who have done the procedure. Most of those who have had it done are quite satisfied with the procedure. Of course, negative comments will attract your attention. However, the old tooth color of the patients who do not comply with certain conditions determined by the physicians after whitening will return in a short time. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to everything that is said by physicians and to apply it carefully. Your teeth, which you don't like the color before whitening, become clean and white after. The role of the center and physician you choose will be great in this. Choosing a center you trust will result in positive results. Afterwards, he thinks a lot about the person who has the whitening process. In general, in addition to the satisfaction of the people who have it, it reaches healthier teeth by paying more attention to the hygiene and care of their teeth in order to maintain their whiteness. It has been observed that patients who do not consume alcohol, tea and acidic beverages maintain their teeth whiteness longer. If you see comments such as "My teeth have not whitened", definitely consult your doctor and then understand the points to be careful about.

Orthodontics is the correction of the harmony of the lower and upper jaws, the correct position of the tooth structure on the jaws and the realization of its treatment. The treatment method that the patient receives can take place in many different ways. At the end of the treatment, the patient; It is aimed to give correct chewing, good speech and an aesthetic smile. How Is Orthodontic Treated? Orthodontic treatment, which begins after the examination of dentists, consists of several stages. The first stage of treatment, which begins with the examination; It is the detection of problems such as incompatibility, congestion, crowding or crooked teeth in the patient's teeth. Then, it is checked whether there is caries in the mouth and if there is caries, it is treated. The most common treatment method is wearing braces. Braces can be worn in multiple ways. The reason why there is more than one option is that it is a treatment method that varies from patient to patient. Who Is Orthodontics Suitable For? Orthodontics, which is a frequently used treatment method today, is not only a treatment method used in children. Adults constitute 30 percent of patients receiving this treatment. With this treatment method, which is suitable for everyone, healthy teeth can be moved as desired at any age. Before Orthodontics Before the treatment, it is found in the teeth by a physician specializing in orthodontics. irregularities are treated. The patient may have congenital dental and occlusion problems in the dental structure. However, defects in the general structure of the teeth may occur either by accident or subsequently. It is absolutely necessary to repair caries in the mouth, and to perform root canal treatments and care. Physician and patient compatibility is extremely important for this treatment method. Treatment takes place through a process that requires meticulousness and attention. After the patient completes this process carefully, he/she will have a successful result. Things to Know After Orthodontics Orthodontic treatment, which is a treatment method known today as wire therapy, consists of two stages. The first of these stages is the active period when the wires are in the mouth, and the second stage is the protection period that starts after the wires are removed from the mouth. There are different issues to be considered in both stages. During the period when the wires are active in the mouth, in order for the treatment to be completed within the planned time and to gain the desired image; During the treatment period, it is necessary to apply the rules told by the physician. It is necessary to ensure oral hygiene, not to consume foods that damage the braces (such as hard, acidic), and to use the rubbers as recommended by their doctors. Toothbrush, single-bundle brush and interface brush are written on the prescription of the patient whose braces are inserted. The reason why it is prescribed so much is that while a natural cleaning is provided during the chewing process on the normally smooth tooth surface; The recessed and protruding structures of the brackets can create areas where food can be inserted and make it difficult to clean the teeth. After cleaning their teeth with a brush, the patients should settle under the wires and around the brackets with single bundle and interface brushes to clean the food residues and prevent the formation of dental plaque. When this care is not performed, gingivitis problems may occur. During treatment, the patient should also pay attention to the foods he eats and drinks. If consumed, various damage may occur to the braces. If we are to list the foods that should not be consumed in this process: Nuts with hard shells should not be consumed during the treatment. Hard foods such as cherries, plums and olives can be consumed after the seeds are removed. Foods such as popcorn should not be consumed until the end of the treatment. Hard foods such as hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds should not be consumed; Although it is consumed, it should be consumed in pieces, not in its whole form. Hard foods should be avoided; Bread should be consumed without toasting, meat should be cooked softly. During the treatment, foods that will be hard, such as bagels, should be softened and consumed. Acidic foods damage tooth enamel. Therefore, consumption should be avoided. Sticky foods such as jelly beans, chewing gum, Turkish delight should not be consumed. All foods should be consumed softly, in small bites, using the right and left sides equally, without biting. In the vast majority of wire treatments, the patient needs to use rubber. In cases where the patient does not apply the tire use as his doctor says, the treatment may be prolonged. Sometimes it can even cause the treatment to fail. After the wires are removed, the treatment will not end immediately. Two different methods are applied to prevent the teeth of the patients from deteriorating. These are protective plates or internal protective wires. If patients do not use these methods, it is inevitable that the teeth will deteriorate. What should be paid attention to during the treatment? The issue of what should be considered during treatment is very important. Because braces treatments are long-term treatments and the patient should seriously continue oral care. Some of the things you should pay special attention to during the treatment period are as follows: The incidence of caries increases in patients receiving braces treatment, and if adequate oral hygiene is not provided, white spots may occur around the brackets. Brushing should continue until there is no debris around the brackets. Acidic drinks (such as cola, soda) should be avoided. Such drinks increase the risk of cavities by damaging both the brackets and the teeth. Foods such as very sticky and very sugary (Turkish delight, chewing gum, jelly beans) should not be consumed. Since such foods will get between the brackets and cannot be cleaned very well, they cause the teeth to decay more quickly. During the treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to the consumption of very hard foods. It is necessary to consume foods such as apples and cucumbers in small pieces instead of biting them. Teeth should be brushed with brushes and interface brushes recommended by the dentist, and dental floss should be used when necessary. Fixed Orthodontic Devices Fixed orthodontic treatment devices usually consist of brackets that are attached to the teeth, as well as archwires that connect the brackets to each other and direct the tooth movement. Fixed devices applied by the specialist must remain constant for the targeted period in order for the treatment to be successful. Wireless Orthodontic Treatments This method, which is gradually becoming popular today, is performed with the help of transparent aligners called Invisalign. For this treatment, plaques are prepared according to the patient's teeth and mouth structure. The patient can insert and remove the transparent plates at any time. This treatment method is an excellent option for those who do not want to wear braces but are uncomfortable with their teeth. After the treatment, a healthy and beautiful appearance is gained. Orthodontic Treatment Methods What are they? Treatment methods are carried out with different methods in line with the patient's needs. There are many different forms of application of braces treatment. In the selection of the treatment method, the amount of the disorder in the mouth structure of the patient, expectations and concerns are important. Among the orthodontic treatment methods; There are metal bracket treatment method, porcelain bracket treatment method, lingual bracket treatment method and transparent dental plaque treatment method. Why Should We Have Orthodontic Treatment? The reason why this treatment method, which can be applied to all ages, is so preferred by patients is that they want to gain an aesthetic appearance and have a healthy tooth structure. When to Go to the Orthodontist? With the eruption of permanent teeth, orthodontic problems begin to emerge. The initiation of treatment should be decided as a result of the examination performed by specialist physicians. Depending on the tooth structure of the patients, the treatment initiation process may vary. How Long Do Orthodontic Treatments Take? The duration of the treatment varies according to the age of the patient, the disorders in the tooth structure and the method of treatment to be applied. The average course of treatment ranges from 6 months to 3 years. The completion of the orthodontic treatment in the planned time and obtaining a good result depends on the teamwork between the patient and the doctor. How often is it necessary to go to check-ups during the treatment? The appointment intervals of the patients during the treatment vary between 4-6 weeks. The duration of the treatment will not be shortened by shortening the intervals between the sessions or by over stretching the wires in your mouth. On the contrary, this may prolong the treatment by damaging the teeth. Is there pain or pain during or after orthodontic treatment? In the first days of wearing braces, mild irritation on the inner surfaces of the lips and cheeks and pain during chewing may occur on the teeth. These complaints disappear within a week. Until the end of the treatment, no pain will occur as long as the patient does not eat the prohibited foods. What Should Be Done for the Care of Brackets and Mouth Cleaning? Patients undergoing braces treatment should pay more attention to oral care. Food accumulation is more in the brackets attached to the teeth. If oral cleaning is disrupted and plaque is not removed from the teeth and brackets, gum diseases, decay and bad breath problems may occur. It is important that plaques are cleaned regularly and properly. Thus, when the brackets come out, the underlying tooth is healthy and strong. Is There an Age Limit for Orthodontic Treatment? Can Orthodontic Treatment Be Applied At Any Age? There is no age limit for braces treatment. However, the treatment of skeletal disorders in the case of anterior or posterior jaws should be done before the age of 12. How and Why Do Orthodontic Problems Occur? Problems arise from skeletal or dental problems related to jaw position. Skeletal problems are inherited from parents through genes. Whether the chin is anterior or posterior also requires treatment on the skeletal surface. If jaw problems are not treated with orthodontic treatment methods at a young age, the patient will be treated with surgical interventions in the future. Orthodontic problems are one of the most common oral and dental health problems seen in people in different parts of the world. Defects in the jaw, teeth and face area cause both serious functional problems and aesthetic problems. It is possible to see these problems for many reasons, from personal habits to not paying attention to oral health, to genetic factors. Orthodontic problems; genetic causes, Habits that continue for a long time and damage the teeth, which will cause deformity in the teeth, Loss of milk teeth in the early period and premature extraction of teeth that develop due to this, It can be listed as the continuation of tongue thrusting swallowing. Precautions should be taken from a young age in order to avoid such problems in later ages. Unfortunately, it is not possible to prevent hereditary diseases despite the precautions taken. They prepare the oral skeletal system for the teeth that will replace the milk teeth, and early extractions can also cause problems. Therefore, it is wrong to see milk teeth as temporary teeth. Milk teeth should be brushed regularly and oral care should not be neglected. After the loss of these teeth, the treatment of positioning the placeholders prevents problems that may occur in the future. The most well-known goals of treatment are to correct the patient's teeth and facial appearance. The fact that the teeth can be cleaned after straightening brings better oral health. In addition to the aesthetic beauty provided to the patient, orthodontic treatment, which helps the healthy nutrition and digestive system provided by well-arranged and well-chewed teeth; It gives the person a healthy body and self-confidence.

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry and is applied together with root canal treatment. It deals with diseases that occur in tissues such as veins and nerves in the inner part of the tooth, as well as in the tissues around the tooth. Endodontics; whitening teeth, treatment of traumatized teeth and the treatment of many dental diseases such as these. ​ Teeth are the first organ where the digestive system begins. For this reason, many foods come into direct contact with the teeth. The teeth in our body are in a structure that will prepare the ground for the formation of many diseases. The pulp that endodontics deals with is one of the tooth layers and is located in the root canal inside the tooth. The pulp is a soft structure equipped with nerves and blood vessels. Endodontics, which deals with a wide area, applies the treatment of diseases that occur in this layer. Endodontics What is Oral Endodontics? Endodontics is a branch of dentistry and is applied together with root canal treatment. It deals with diseases that occur in tissues such as veins and nerves in the inner part of the tooth, as well as in the tissues around the tooth. Endodontics; whitening teeth, treatment of traumatized teeth and the treatment of many dental diseases such as these. Teeth are the first organ where the digestive system begins. For this reason, many foods come into direct contact with the teeth. The teeth in our body are in a structure that will prepare the ground for the formation of many diseases. The pulp that endodontics deals with is one of the tooth layers and is located in the root canal inside the tooth. The pulp is a soft structure equipped with nerves and blood vessels. Endodontics, which deals with a wide area, applies the treatment of diseases that occur in this layer. How is Endodontics Done? If the existing dental infections have descended to the pulp layer of the tooth, endodontics prevents the extraction of this tooth. In the old practices, the infected tooth was extracted and it was not possible to save it. Endodontics performs the treatment of such damaged teeth. During the endodontic procedure, the pulp and nerves are removed. The infection inside the teeth is cleaned. Then the teeth are filled and the patient can use their teeth as before. After this application, only hot and cold sensation sensitivity occurs in the teeth. As a result of this treatment, tooth loss is prevented and the tooth is regained. The tooth, whose nerve tissue is damaged, is divided into pieces and bacteria settle in these spaces. While multiplying bacteria cause great damage to the tooth, it can also spread to other teeth. In cases where endodontics does not interfere with tooth decay, the jawbone may be damaged along with tooth decay. Endodontist is the name given to dentistry that deals with the dental nerves. First, a dental x-ray is taken and the diseased tooth is detected. Then, local anesthesia is applied to that area by the physician. In order to prevent the area from getting wet, the teeth are covered with a waterproof material and root canal treatment is applied in this way. Very small holes are created to reach the area. The diseased area is intervened in a dry and wide area. Here, the doctor cleans all the infections that occur outside the teeth and teeth. The tooth is completely cleared of damaged parts. It is necessary to fill the gaps in the cleared area. For this reason, the drilled tooth is thoroughly enlarged and the filling process is completed in the teeth. The enlargement process is called channel filing. After the filling process, the opened hole in the tooth is closed. In Which Situations Is Endodontic Method Applied? Endodontics, which examines the tooth in depth, considers the tooth and jaw as a whole. This treatment method is based on the prevention of tooth loss. In extensive dental infections, it is ensured that the tooth and tooth environment are completely free of infection. Endodontic application gives healthy results in inflammations reaching down to the jawbone. It also provides cleaning processes in tooth fragmentation. With the decision of the physician, endodontic treatment is applied in diseases such as dental caries, cracked teeth, bridged and dentures, and deep dental caries. It is also known as root canal treatment among the people. It is a method used directly in dental caries. It creates a definitive solution to infections in root canals. Diseased and painful tooth can be easily healed with this method without the need for tooth extraction. The teeth of the patient are restored to their former state by filling the gaps formed in the area of the cleaned teeth. All teeth are cleaned of bacteria and problems such as yellowing, decay and darkening are eliminated. Pain After Endodontics Endodontics, which is applied for the purpose of saving the tooth, is a very common treatment method, no matter how sensitive it is. One of the most common dental problems today is tooth decay. During this application, local anesthesia is applied by the physician due to the spread of the caries. Treatment begins with anesthetizing the tooth. For this reason, no pain is felt during the treatment phase. After root canal treatment, slight pain and ache may be felt after the effect of the drug wears off. In some cases, it is observed that pain or ache in the mouth lasts for several days. Depending on the area where the infections in the teeth spread, numbness may be felt in the teeth for a few days. The severity of the pain or ache is determined by the size of the discomfort of the tooth. Usually, these pains are temporary and incisional. What Does Endodontic Treatment Do? Endodontics, which aims to restore the old functions of the teeth, is a treatment method that helps to save the teeth. With this treatment method, the natural structure of the teeth is preserved. This method, which aims to prevent tooth loss, is one of the permanent treatment methods. It is ensured that not only the tooth, but also the surrounding of the tooth is free of infections. Bacterial infections that go down to the jawbone are completely cleared by the endodontic method. Damages in the dental pulp and surrounding tissues are removed with the most appropriate technique. It is aimed to regain the tooth by applying the endodontic method on teeth with problems such as fractures, caries and trauma. In root canal treatment, the position of the tooth in the mouth is preserved. As it is known, dental caries is a widespread problem. Endodontics is also used in the treatment process of the mouth and face. It is aimed to prevent pulp diseases. This method of treatment prevents the spread of recurring dental infections. Endodontic teeth whitening procedures are also applied here. After the root canal treatment, the gaps formed are eliminated. Filling procedures are performed on the teeth that need filling, and the tooth is regained its former functions. It is an effective dental treatment method in the treatment of teeth that have undergone dental trauma. How Long Does Endodontics Take? If the endodontic root canal treatment decision is made for the damaged and diseased tooth, this means that the tooth can be saved. Root canal treatment is a treatment method applied to get rid of infection of the teeth. This method, which is applied to protect the natural tooth structure, also removes the bacteria in the root canal from the teeth. Infection around the tooth is caused by the proliferation of bacteria that settle in the root canal. If the pulp is damaged by a bacterial infection, it is decided to apply endodontics if this situation is determined by the physician. Treatment time varies according to the number of root canals in the tooth. At the same time, the difficulty of the root canals and the jaw structure can also change this period. To say an average treatment time, 1 or 1.5 hours can be given for a 3-channel tooth. What Should Be Considered After Endodontics? After endodontic treatment, in which deep dental caries are removed, there are situations that should be considered as after every treatment. The treatment is completed in a single session. For this reason, with careful attention to some issues, rapid recovery occurs. Care should be taken not to overuse the treated tooth. After the treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to the consumption of hot or cold. After the completion of the treatment, no food or drink should be consumed for one or two hours. After the treatment, pain and ache may occur in the mouth for a few days. For this reason, warm food should be consumed for a few days and the consumption of hard foods should be avoided. Oral care and hygiene should not be interrupted. If oral care is disrupted, infection and decay problems may occur again in the teeth. It should not be forgotten that the most effective way to prevent tooth decay is dental care. How Long Can Teeth Be Used After Endodontics? The aim is to save the tooth instead of pulling it out. The cost of endodontic method is the least dental application. It is an inevitable treatment method in cases where the pulp tissue, which is the tooth layer, is damaged and the tooth is fragmented. In order to regain the old form of the cleaned and repaired teeth, the filling process is performed and the gaps are removed. Teeth with root canal treatment are not distinguished from other teeth in terms of appearance. For this reason, there is no concern for aesthetic appearance in endodontics. If the root canal treated tooth is well cared for after the treatment, it can be used for life. We prevent the formation of bacteria and caries in the treated tooth with oral care. Can Endodontics Fail? The endodontic method, which purifies the mouth and teeth from bacteria, is applied to most people today. It is easily applied to everyone with the aim of saving the teeth and regaining their old structure. It is a treatment method that is mostly successful and receives good returns, except for adverse situations and patient-related reasons. After treatment, tooth decay is inevitable in neglected teeth. With the consumption of hard foods, fractures may occur in the fillings. There may be a re-infection with bacterial growth in the root canals. All of these are failures caused by the patient. On the other hand, improper application of root canal treatment creates a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria. These bacteria then cause infection in the root canals. Although there is a small chance that the treatment will fail, root canal treatment should be applied without making any mistakes. Does the Endodontic Tooth Inflamm Again? Endodontics, one of the successful dental treatment methods, is an easily applied method. Although the success rate is quite high, the margin of error is quite low. However, due to the person's not paying attention to oral care and disruption of oral hygiene, problems may occur again in treated teeth. Fractures are seen in fillings with hard blows in the mouth or consumption of hard-textured food. Thus, due to patient-related reasons, a re-inflammation of the teeth may occur. If there is a bacterial leakage into the root canals again, infection may occur here as well. In addition, root canal treatment is a re-applicable method. Previous fillings can be renewed again. For this reason, there are issues that the patient should pay attention to after the treatment. By paying attention to these issues, it is not possible to experience any discomfort in the teeth and root canals. Does Endodontic-Canal Treated Tooth Pain? Endodontic method is applied in the treatment of problematic and painful teeth. In this method, the problematic tooth is completely purified and transformed into its old structure. After these procedures, filling processes are applied to prevent the cavities formed in the cleaned tooth from getting air. The teeth are filled without leaving any gaps in order to prevent any pain. Root canal treatment is not a painful procedure. In other words, the patient does not feel any pain during the treatment phase. However, depending on the infection in the teeth, a numbness problem may occur in the mouth. The spread of the infection that spreads to the roots is a determining cause of the severity of pain. After a few days of pain after the treatment, no pain is felt afterwards. What should I do if my pain does not go away? It is normal to feel some pain in the area after frequently applied endodontic treatment. It is also normal to feel a numbness in the chin as the mouth remains open for a long time during the treatment. After the treatment, if it is determined by the physician that more pain will be felt than usual, painkillers can be given to the patient. After the treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to the chewing condition. No chewing should be done on the treated tooth. It is necessary to consume food by paying attention to the hot and cold balance. In addition, consuming hard foods can damage the filling and increase the severity of the pain. The reason for physician-induced pain is that the root canal is not completely free of bacteria.

Oral Diagnosis and Radiology What is Oral Diagnosis? Oral Diagnosis and Radiology is a stage in which the unique conditions of patients, known as oral diagnosis, are evaluated. Patients who apply for any dental ailment are diagnosed and resolved here. There are many types of treatments for dental problems. There may also be situations where more than one treatment is required for a patient. Correct planning of the treatment to be applied provides short-term treatment opportunities and efficient results. Oral Diagnosis and Radiology What is Oral Diagnosis? Oral Diagnosis and Radiology is a stage in which the unique conditions of patients, known as oral diagnosis, are evaluated. Patients who apply for any dental ailment are diagnosed and resolved here. There are many types of treatments for dental problems. There may also be situations where more than one treatment is required for a patient. Correct planning of the treatment to be applied provides short-term treatment opportunities and efficient results. It is very important to establish the diagnosis first in order to plan the treatment. Correct diagnosis and determination of the patient's problem occur during the first examination. After the diagnosis or the diagnosis of the disease, it is decided which treatment methods should be applied. Treatment planning is also done at this stage. For this reason, which treatment should be done first and for how long is decided by oral diagnosis and radiology. What is Radiology? Oral diagnosis and radiology using various technological tools determine the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It is the most effective tool in the planning of treatments using imaging technologies. Radiology is used in almost every field where the disease is present. The diagnosis of the disease is made by radiological examination. Radiology department uses multiple imaging tools to view the area of the disease. Radiology is the field where the first examination phase takes place and determines the method to be followed in the treatment of the disease. Radiology is a medical specialty. It displays the internal structure of the body and the structure of the region where the problem will be found. It presents the internal structure of the body and the structure of the problem area by using radiation and high-frequency sound waves in order to diagnose the disease and determine its treatment. Radiologists, on the other hand, are doctors who are specialized in their field, who allow us to take these images and interpret the obtained image. Radiology serves more than one department. All fields of medicine refer to radiology for the detection of disease. The diagnosis and diagnosis of the disease is made with the images obtained by using devices such as ultrasound, x-ray and computed tomography. It is necessary to use imaging devices in order to make a comprehensive diagnosis in various diseases. The results of the findings and examinations made by this department are evaluated by specialist doctors. Radiology is often used in diseases such as cancer, where details need to be followed closely. In addition, radiology is an indispensable method in cases where continuous examination is required, such as pregnancy. It is a medical method that is absolutely used in the detailed examination of most diseases. This technology is used in almost every field of the healthcare industry. It provides accurate diagnosis and clear diagnosis of many diseases in the field of health. All devices in the radiology department are used by radiologists. Diagnoses and diagnoses made by radiologists are interpreted by specialist physicians. At the same time, radiologists have a high level of anatomy and pathology knowledge. What are Dental Films? Diseases that occur in the mouth and teeth can be easily detected by oral diagnosis and radiology. Dental films easily display invisible spots by displaying teeth, gums and jawbones that cannot be seen with clinical examination. With the help of radioactive rays, you can reach the image of even the smallest points. Before starting the treatment of each disease, dental films for diagnosis and diagnosis can be requested, as well as these films can be requested in determining and planning the treatment method. During and after the treatment, control is provided by the physicians with these visuals. Panoramic x-ray films are films in which all oral structures and teeth are displayed together. On the other hand, films in which teeth are viewed one by one are called periapical x-ray films. Thanks to these two films, both the problematic teeth are easily detected and the position of the disease in the mouth is determined. Problems that occur on the outer surface of the teeth can be observed by physicians. However, the problems that occur in the parts under the gums are known to be invisible to the naked eye. In addition, the use of dental films is inevitable in diseases of the roots under the jawbone. It is a medical method frequently requested by physicians for the diagnosis of most diseases before the first examination. X-rays are used in dental x-rays, as in other imaging tools. Oral diagnosis and radiology is a very helpful technique in diagnosis and determination of diagnosis. Thanks to dental x-rays, canal roots can be easily examined and cysts and abscesses in the mouth can be easily detected. Recently, dental development of children has been followed with dental films. Thus, it is possible to get the opportunity to intervene in problem areas early. Dental films are also used to determine the general condition applied to each patient by physicians. We see that it is applied in patients who require orthodontic treatment with cephalometric dental x-ray. These dental x-rays are x-rays that show the skull bones and soft tissues. All these procedures are performed by specialist doctors. What should we pay attention to in the examination as a patient? Many people experience toothache from time to time. In these cases, the source of the pain can be easily determined by oral diagnosis and radiology. Toothache is the most common dental problem in our society. The source of toothaches can be tooth decay, fractures, erosion of teeth and gums, impacted teeth can be the cause of toothache. Painkillers are a temporary solution to these pains and they are repeated after the pain. For this reason, we should definitely see dentists to find a permanent solution to pain. During the examination, we should clearly express our dental problem. We should give accurate information to dentists about our diet. You should listen carefully to the diagnosis of your dental problems during the examination and learn the treatment planning. It will be useful to get information about the positive and negative aspects of the treatment that the doctors will apply and include yourself in your decision-making process. Being disciplined and patient throughout the treatment gives the patient an advantage. Being in a state of panic may cause the result not to be as desired during the treatment phase. This is the process where oral care goes to the next level. More oral and dental hygiene than normal should be provided. It should not be forgotten that acidic and sugary foods are dental enemies, and the diet should be determined by considering dental and oral health. Foods that stick to the teeth and cause pain, such as chewing gum or candy, should be avoided. Consumption of hard and nuts should be avoided. Any food that can damage tooth enamel should be removed from our lives during the healing process. Seed fruits should not be taken directly into the mouth, but should be consumed separately. The crumbs left between the teeth that are not brushed regularly cause bacterial growth after a while and pave the way for the formation of infection in the mouth. When regular oral care is not provided, bleeding and inflammation of the teeth and gums may occur. When discipline is provided during and after the examination, you can reach the desired teeth and dental health. What should we pay attention to in the Radiology Clinic? In the ever-developing health fields, the use of many technological imaging devices such as oral diagnosis and radiology is becoming widespread. We refer to dentists for pain and dental problems. Dentists first ask questions to the patient to find out the source of the pain or problem. Every question asked by the physician to the patient must be answered correctly. Thus, the doctor works to determine the problem he learned from the patient. It should not be forgotten that incorrect information affects patient health and treatment negatively. Dentists use radiology technology in the diagnosis of most diseases. With the images to be obtained after radiology, the dental problem is detected and the treatment is decided in this way. One of the most important factors here is the patient's physician. It is the correct orientation. This will prevent unnecessary waste of time. All metal products and jewelry must be removed in the head and neck region in line with the directions in the radiology clinic we go with the direction of the physician. If patients have in their mouths; removable removable dentures should be removed. In order to achieve healthy results as a result of imaging, it is necessary to meticulously follow the commands given by the radiologist. The treatment method is determined by the physician according to our teeth and mouth images from the radiology clinic. These x-rays are the only alternative to treatment planning for parts that are invisible to the naked eye. The biggest advantage of radiology and dental x-rays is the easy visualization of the root canal roots. It also displays the disorders in the structure of the jawbone in detail. Can I Have a Radiograph While Pregnant? Oral diagnosis and radiology, which is one of the imaging methods we frequently use, is a technique used in the dental field. There are many imaging devices that also display the internal structure of our body. These devices emit radiation and reflect the effect of high frequency waves. For this reason, they can create a short-term negative effect on human health. It also has disadvantages for people with special conditions such as pregnancy. Pregnancy is a situation that requires extreme attention for both mother and baby. Exposure of the expectant mother to radiation due to any situation may adversely affect the pregnancy of the mother and the development of the baby. The development of the baby in the womb varies from week to week. Every week, the development of another organ is provided in the mother's womb. Radiographs taken for the diagnosis of the disease may cause health problems during pregnancy. A one-time X-ray procedure for diagnosis in the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy does not harm the baby. If the radiation rate received through X-ray is less than 15 mgy, it does not pose a risk and does not cause termination of pregnancy. However, if the radiation rate is more than 15 mgy, termination of pregnancy is brought to the agenda. During pregnancy, expectant mothers should be careful and follow the development of the baby meticulously. X-rays cause trouble even for normal people after a certain level. For this reason, expectant mothers should protect themselves not only from x-rays but also from devices with these x-rays in daily life. Are X-Rays Used in Dentistry Radiology Harmful? X-rays for the diagnosis of ailments in the dental area are one of the indispensable methods of treatment. Dental radiographs are the best method for detecting problems in teeth and jaws. Radiographs are a method used by physicians to obtain images of invisible areas during the first examination. It helps to see the formation of caries between the teeth, to view the caries under the fillings and to view the tooth fractures and cracks. Bone losses and weaknesses caused by gingival diseases can only be detected by radiographic methods. The outer surfaces of the tooth roots can be seen with the naked eye. Unfortunately, the inner parts of the tooth roots cannot be seen with the naked eye. In particular, most of the orthodontic treatments can be planned using radiographic methods. Regular follow-up of the child's mouth and tooth structure, which is constantly developing, is also provided by radiographic methods. The technique in which all teeth are displayed and the technique in which individual teeth are displayed can be applied together. With the guidance of the dentist, we can easily access the images of the clear tooth structure. The amount of radiation received during a radiography is as much as staying in front of a computer for about 4 hours. The amount of radiation to be taken in a single shot is very small. In addition, the lead vest worn during radiation exposure prevents other organs from receiving unnecessary x-rays. With these measures, the least amount of radiation that can be taken is taken. The outside of the areas to be x-rayed is taken under protection. Many x-ray devices such as oral diagnosis and radiology, which are among the blessings of today's technologies, provide great benefits in health fields.

There is a cartilage pad between the lower jawbone and the temporal bone that prevents wear and facilitates jaw movements. This cartilage cushion holds the joint and bones together and connects our jaw to our skull by providing joint integrity. How Does the Jaw Joint Deteriorate? There are many causes of jaw joint deterioration. However, these include clenching teeth (bruxism), using the jaw badly and harshly, and chewing gum. In order to facilitate jaw movements, the existing cartilage pad slips and breaks down as a result of abrasion between the two bones.

Therefore, in order to prevent more severe pain, it is necessary to go through the control of the dentist. In case of need, root canal treatment should be performed, the problem should be eliminated and the tooth should be repaired. In root canal treatment, first of all, the hard tissue is entered. Then, the root canal is reached and the soft tissue is intervened. The tooth nerve called pulp is expelled. In this way, the problem that occurs in the inner part of the tooth is eliminated and its cleaning is ensured. Root Canal Treatment What is Root Canal Treatment? Root canal treatment is applied to decaying or infected teeth, and the tooth is repaired and made healthier. It is among the treatment methods that allow the tooth to be saved and may take a little longer. It is a fact that dental caries is of vital importance over time in the processes that are not treated. Therefore, in order to prevent more severe pain, it is necessary to go through the control of the dentist.

Then, the root canal is reached and the soft tissue is intervened. The tooth nerve called pulp is expelled. In this way, the problem that occurs in the inner part of the tooth is eliminated and its cleaning is ensured. Why is Root Canal Treatment Done? Tooth decay is not a dental problem to be taken lightly. If it is not intervened, it is necessary to take precautions because it can cause serious discomfort. Tooth decay reaches the dental nerve over time and causes pain. As a result of cracking or breaking the tooth, it also causes damage to the face. As a result, the tooth may become infected or inflamed. In case of damage to the dental nerve or dental pulp, bacteria begin to spread around the tooth. This bacterium multiplies and grows over time. Problems such as bacteria and tooth decay cause abscess formation or an increase in infection. In such cases, it is seen that the pain increases day by day. Severe pain disturbs the person, and based on this situation, root canal treatment is performed to prevent the problem. In this way, the tooth is repaired and the problem is prevented and the pain is eliminated. In which situations is root canal therapy applied? A carious tooth problem usually brings about very serious damage and causes pain. Over time, these cause facial paralysis and trauma. To be more descriptive and for the treatment to be applicable, dental x-rays are taken. Root canal treatment is considered appropriate for decayed teeth with deep external fractures. Things to Consider After Root Canal Treatment A little more care should be taken after root canal treatment. Because the formation of infection in the tooth causes pain. Therefore, the intake of crusty or hard foods should be avoided. It is very important not to take these foods for a while and not to damage the tooth. Routine oral and dental cleaning should be done during the day. It is useful to consider the situations that will cause tooth sensitivity and act accordingly. Teeth should be brushed for two minutes twice a day. The use of dental floss is beneficial in order to prevent infection after the root canal treatment. In this way, it is easier to remove the residues entering the tooth space. Avoiding the consumption of sugary or coloring foods, sticky and acidic foods and not taking them for a while will give healthier results. The medications recommended by the specialist must be taken regularly. What are the Alternatives to Root Canal Treatment? When viewed, 90% effective results are obtained with root canal treatment. Since the decayed tooth problem is repaired in this way, the formation of infection is prevented. After the treatment, the occurrence of pain or the occurrence of traumatic events is prevented. There is no dental nerve problem for a lifetime. Correct preservation of natural teeth at all times; It is a healthier condition for the mouth. The most effective results of root canal treatment are repaired without tooth loss. In this way, it is ensured that the natural tooth is taken under control without the application of artificial teeth. What should be done after root canal treatment? It is absolutely necessary to follow the instructions given by the dentist after the root canal treatment. In this way, the successful outcome of the treatment and the problems that may occur are prevented. In the treatment method to repair the tooth, situations that will cause sensitivity after the procedure should be avoided. Consumption of excessive cold and excessive heat can damage the tooth. Depending on the size of the caries problem in the tooth, the formation of infection occurs. The size of this infection is usually painful. It should be known that the root canal treatment is not caused by pain. For this reason, attention is paid to the regular use of the drugs recommended by the dentist. Eating and drinking is suspended for a while. Especially avoiding crusty and hard foods should be helped to complete the treatment correctly. Treatment alone is not effective. The patient also plays a big role and by following the instructions, he gets effective results. How Many Sessions Does Root Canal Treatment Take? The duration of root canal treatment is a subject that varies from person to person. Because the operation is performed according to the number of roots of the tooth. Infections in root canals and nerve cleaning cause time change. The size of the tooth infection can take longer to cure and in some cases for weeks. There is a limitation of the duration of each root canal treatment to 30-90 minutes. Here, if there is an infection, it must first be cleaned and medication applied. It is necessary to wait a week for the drug to take effect. At the end of a week, the treatment is completed with the completion of the root canal treatment. It is possible to say that this can be resolved in 2-3 sessions. Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt? Pain formation during the procedure varies completely depending on the infection in the tooth. Depending on the infection in the tooth, root canal treatment is painful or painless. However, local anesthesia is applied before the procedure in order to relieve the patient and as a requirement of the medical procedure. With local anesthesia, the area to be treated is anesthetized. Since it shows the numbing effect, there is no feeling of pain. Since problems such as pity do not arise, it is done with peace of mind and does not harm the person. How Does Root Canal Treatment Pain Go? Caries in the tooth cause tooth loss over time. It brings the emergence of very serious pain in the patient before tooth loss. Since pain causes facial paralysis and trauma, it should not be perceived as just a dental problem. Because a toothache can bring unexpected results. This problem is eliminated by the examination of the dentist. Pain does not occur with local anesthesia before root canal treatment. However, as the local anesthesia begins to lose its effect, the pain manifests itself according to the size of the infection in the tooth. In order to relieve these pains, the medications recommended by the dentist should be taken regularly. Medicines can be sold without a prescription. This is an effective and correct method. This is not the case with the root canal treatment method performed here. Because the tooth nerve is removed and the tooth infection is eliminated. It is repaired because it remains in the mouth. As the tooth problem is resolved, the tooth regains its former functions. After this process, it is necessary to pay more attention to oral and dental health. In this way, since the formation of dental problems is prevented and the problems are eliminated, the tooth is used for a long time. As long as no other problems arise, it continues to do its job for the mouth. Will I Feel Pain During Root Canal Treatment? It is very rare to experience pain during root canal treatment. Because local anesthesia is applied before the procedure to perform the medical procedure. In this way, the tooth is anesthetized and the problem is resolved before pain occurs.

Oral Diagnosis and Radiology is a stage in which the unique conditions of patients, known as oral diagnosis, are evaluated. Patients who apply for any dental ailment are diagnosed and resolved here. There are many types of treatments for dental problems. There may also be situations where more than one treatment is required for a patient. Correct planning of the treatment to be applied provides short-term treatment opportunities and efficient results. It is very important to establish the diagnosis first in order to plan the treatment. Correct diagnosis and determination of the patient's problem occur during the first examination. After the diagnosis or the diagnosis of the disease, it is decided which treatment methods should be applied. Treatment planning is also done at this stage. For this reason, which treatment should be done first and for how long is decided by oral diagnosis and radiology. Oral Diagnosis and Radiology What is Oral Diagnosis? Oral Diagnosis and Radiology is a stage in which the unique conditions of patients, known as oral diagnosis, are evaluated. Patients who apply for any dental ailment are diagnosed and resolved here. There are many types of treatments for dental problems. There may also be situations where more than one treatment is required for a patient. Correct planning of the treatment to be applied provides short-term treatment opportunities and efficient results. It is very important to establish the diagnosis first in order to plan the treatment. Correct diagnosis and determination of the patient's problem occur during the first examination. After the diagnosis or the diagnosis of the disease, it is decided which treatment methods should be applied. Treatment planning is also done at this stage. For this reason, which treatment should be done first and for how long is decided by oral diagnosis and radiology. What is Radiology? Oral diagnosis and radiology using various technological tools determine the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. It is the most effective tool in the planning of treatments using imaging technologies. Radiology is used in almost every field where the disease is present. The diagnosis of the disease is made by radiological examination. Radiology department uses multiple imaging tools to view the area of the disease. Radiology is the field where the first examination phase takes place and determines the method to be followed in the treatment of the disease. Radiology is a medical specialty. It displays the internal structure of the body and the structure of the region where the problem will be found. It presents the internal structure of the body and the structure of the problem area by using radiation and high-frequency sound waves in order to diagnose the disease and determine its treatment. Radiologists, on the other hand, are doctors who are specialized in their field, who allow us to take these images and interpret the obtained image. Radiology serves more than one department. All fields of medicine refer to radiology for the detection of disease. The diagnosis and diagnosis of the disease is made with the images obtained by using devices such as ultrasound, x-ray and computed tomography. It is necessary to use imaging devices in order to make a comprehensive diagnosis in various diseases. The results of the findings and examinations made by this department are evaluated by specialist doctors. Radiology is often used in diseases such as cancer, where details need to be followed closely. In addition, radiology is an indispensable method in cases where continuous examination is required, such as pregnancy. It is a medical method that is absolutely used in the detailed examination of most diseases. This technology is used in almost every field of the healthcare industry. It provides accurate diagnosis and clear diagnosis of many diseases in the field of health. All devices in the radiology department are used by radiologists. Diagnoses and diagnoses made by radiologists are interpreted by specialist physicians. At the same time, radiologists have a high level of anatomy and pathology knowledge. What are Dental Films? Diseases that occur in the mouth and teeth can be easily detected by oral diagnosis and radiology. Dental films easily display invisible spots by displaying teeth, gums and jawbones that cannot be seen with clinical examination. With the help of radioactive rays, you can reach the image of even the smallest points. Before starting the treatment of each disease, dental films for diagnosis and diagnosis can be requested, as well as these films can be requested in determining and planning the treatment method. During and after the treatment, control is provided by the physicians with these visuals. Panoramic x-ray films are films in which all oral structures and teeth are displayed together. On the other hand, films in which teeth are viewed one by one are called periapical x-ray films. Thanks to these two films, both the problematic teeth are easily detected and the position of the disease in the mouth is determined. Problems that occur on the outer surface of the teeth can be observed by physicians. However, the problems that occur in the parts under the gums are known to be invisible to the naked eye. In addition, the use of dental films is inevitable in diseases of the roots under the jawbone. It is a medical method frequently requested by physicians for the diagnosis of most diseases before the first examination. X-rays are used in dental x-rays, as in other imaging tools. Oral diagnosis and radiology is a very helpful technique in diagnosis and determination of diagnosis. Thanks to dental x-rays, canal roots can be easily examined and cysts and abscesses in the mouth can be easily detected. Recently, dental development of children has been followed with dental films. Thus, it is possible to get the opportunity to intervene in problem areas early. Dental films are also used to determine the general condition applied to each patient by physicians. We see that it is applied in patients who require orthodontic treatment with cephalometric dental x-ray. These dental x-rays are x-rays that show the skull bones and soft tissues. All these procedures are performed by specialist doctors. What should we pay attention to in the examination as a patient? Many people experience toothache from time to time. In these cases, the source of the pain can be easily determined by oral diagnosis and radiology. Toothache is the most common dental problem in our society. The source of toothaches can be tooth decay, fractures, erosion of teeth and gums, impacted teeth can be the cause of toothache. Painkillers are a temporary solution to these pains and they are repeated after the pain. For this reason, we should definitely see dentists to find a permanent solution to pain. During the examination, we should clearly express our dental problem. We should give accurate information to dentists about our diet. You should listen carefully to the diagnosis of your dental problems during the examination and learn the treatment planning. It will be useful to get information about the positive and negative aspects of the treatment that the doctors will apply and include yourself in your decision-making process. Being disciplined and patient throughout the treatment gives the patient an advantage. Being in a state of panic may cause the result not to be as desired during the treatment phase. This is the process where oral care goes to the next level. More oral and dental hygiene than normal should be provided. It should not be forgotten that acidic and sugary foods are dental enemies, and the diet should be determined by considering dental and oral health. Foods that stick to the teeth and cause pain, such as chewing gum or candy, should be avoided. Consumption of hard and nuts should be avoided. Any food that can damage tooth enamel should be removed from our lives during the healing process. Seed fruits should not be taken directly into the mouth, but should be consumed separately. The crumbs left between the teeth that are not brushed regularly cause bacterial growth after a while and pave the way for the formation of infection in the mouth. When regular oral care is not provided, bleeding and inflammation of the teeth and gums may occur. When discipline is provided during and after the examination, you can reach the desired teeth and dental health. What should we pay attention to in the Radiology Clinic? In the ever-developing health fields, the use of many technological imaging devices such as oral diagnosis and radiology is becoming widespread. We refer to dentists for pain and dental problems. Dentists first ask questions to the patient to find out the source of the pain or problem. Every question asked by the physician to the patient must be answered correctly. Thus, the doctor works to determine the problem he learned from the patient. It should not be forgotten that incorrect information affects patient health and treatment negatively. Dentists use radiology technology in the diagnosis of most diseases. With the images to be obtained after radiology, the dental problem is detected and the treatment is decided in this way. One of the most important factors here is the patient's physician. It is the correct orientation. This will prevent unnecessary waste of time. All metal products and jewelry must be removed in the head and neck region in line with the directions in the radiology clinic we go with the direction of the physician. If patients have in their mouths; removable removable dentures should be removed. In order to achieve healthy results as a result of imaging, it is necessary to meticulously follow the commands given by the radiologist. The treatment method is determined by the physician according to our teeth and mouth images from the radiology clinic. These x-rays are the only alternative to treatment planning for parts that are invisible to the naked eye. The biggest advantage of radiology and dental x-rays is the easy visualization of the root canal roots. It also displays the disorders in the structure of the jawbone in detail. Can I Have a Radiograph While Pregnant? Oral diagnosis and radiology, which is one of the imaging methods we frequently use, is a technique used in the dental field. There are many imaging devices that also display the internal structure of our body. These devices emit radiation and reflect the effect of high frequency waves. For this reason, they can create a short-term negative effect on human health. It also has disadvantages for people with special conditions such as pregnancy. Pregnancy is a situation that requires extreme attention for both mother and baby. Exposure of the expectant mother to radiation due to any situation may adversely affect the pregnancy of the mother and the development of the baby. The development of the baby in the womb varies from week to week. Every week, the development of another organ is provided in the mother's womb. Radiographs taken for the diagnosis of the disease may cause health problems during pregnancy. A one-time X-ray procedure for diagnosis in the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy does not harm the baby. If the radiation rate received through X-ray is less than 15 mgy, it does not pose a risk and does not cause termination of pregnancy. However, if the radiation rate is more than 15 mgy, termination of pregnancy is brought to the agenda. During pregnancy, expectant mothers should be careful and follow the development of the baby meticulously. X-rays cause trouble even for normal people after a certain level. For this reason, expectant mothers should protect themselves not only from x-rays but also from devices with these x-rays in daily life. Are X-Rays Used in Dentistry Radiology Harmful? X-rays for the diagnosis of ailments in the dental area are one of the indispensable methods of treatment. Dental radiographs are the best method for detecting problems in teeth and jaws. Radiographs are a method used by physicians to obtain images of invisible areas during the first examination. It helps to see the formation of caries between the teeth, to view the caries under the fillings and to view the tooth fractures and cracks. Bone losses and weaknesses caused by gingival diseases can only be detected by radiographic methods. The outer surfaces of the tooth roots can be seen with the naked eye. Unfortunately, the inner parts of the tooth roots cannot be seen with the naked eye. In particular, most of the orthodontic treatments can be planned using radiographic methods. Regular follow-up of the child's mouth and tooth structure, which is constantly developing, is also provided by radiographic methods. The technique in which all teeth are displayed and the technique in which individual teeth are displayed can be applied together. With the guidance of the dentist, we can easily access the images of the clear tooth structure. The amount of radiation received during a radiography is as much as staying in front of a computer for about 4 hours. The amount of radiation to be taken in a single shot is very small. In addition, the lead vest worn during radiation exposure prevents other organs from receiving unnecessary x-rays. With these measures, the least amount of radiation that can be taken is taken. The outside of the areas to be x-rayed is taken under protection. Many x-ray devices such as oral diagnosis and radiology, which are among the blessings of today's technologies, provide great benefits in health fields.

Conservative and Restorative Dentistry is the method used for dental caries that occur in the hard structure of the tooth. It is known that if the tooth filling process is applied correctly, it consists of several different stages that are easy and short-term. Dentists begin the process by cleaning the deformed and decayed tooth tissue in the conservative part of the treatment process. Then the remaining healthy parts of the tooth come to the fore and this part is preserved and the tooth tissue is repaired. In some cases, conservative and restorative dental treatment cannot be performed because the repair cannot be performed and tooth extraction is preferred. Conservative and Restorative Dentistry What is Conservative and Restorative Dentistry? Conservative and Restorative Dentistry is the method used for dental caries that occur in the hard structure of the tooth. It is known that if the tooth filling process is applied correctly, it consists of several different stages that are easy and short-term. Dentists begin the process by cleaning the deformed and decayed tooth tissue in the conservative part of the treatment process. Then the remaining healthy parts of the tooth come to the fore and this part is preserved and the tooth tissue is repaired. In some cases, conservative and restorative dental treatment cannot be performed because the repair cannot be performed and tooth extraction is preferred. However, one of the most basic and successful dental treatment methods generally used is known as dental filling. Instead of losing as much of the tooth as possible; The dental filling method, in which the healthy tissue is preserved, should be preferred. Teeth can be eroded or damaged over time for various reasons. To prevent this, regular physician control is very important. What are the Advantages of Ceramic Fillings? The treatment method, which is called ceramic or porcelain filling and known as one of the current filling types, is a matter of curiosity. Today, ceramics can be used as a filling material, especially as a result of dental caries and, if necessary, canal treatment. It is a type of filling that is a part of the treatment process and aims to restore the missing part of the tooth. The biggest advantage of ceramic fillings when applying conservative and restorative dental treatment is that they can be preferred if there is not enough tooth structure to support other composite and similar fillings. Therefore, if there is insufficient healthy tooth tissue; Ceramic fillings are used to ensure the connection of the tooth with the adjacent tooth and for comfortable use. Another important feature of this type of filling is the prevention of inconveniences such as the accumulation of nutrients between the teeth, as a connection is established with other teeth. Therefore, in cases where tooth tissue loss is high and the tooth is not desired to be lost, ceramic filling can be applied. How is Ceramic Filling Made? Ceramic filling type can be applied to a part of the tooth; It can also be applied in the wider tooth area. These fillings are prepared in a laboratory environment. While preparing the fillings based on the mouth and tooth structure of the person, it is aimed to ensure the best possible connections with the neighboring teeth. In this way, no food residue accumulation occurs between the teeth. In addition, it is ensured that the chewing surface can be used healthily and comfortably. In the ceramic filling, which provides both long-term use and an aesthetic structure, it is primarily concerned to determine the jaw and tooth structure of the person. Then, the missing areas on the tooth are completed with fine details. Ceramic filling types constitute one of the most preferred methods of conservative and restorative dental treatment processes. What are the Disadvantages of Ceramic Fillings? It is known that ceramic filling types can be durable for long periods and provide an aesthetic appearance. Although it is useful in this respect, the disadvantages of ceramic fillings are also wondered. The main disadvantage of this type of filling is that it is more costly than other methods such as composite filling. Ceramic fillings, which are created by going through a sensitive working process and imitating the person's mouth structure in the most appropriate way, are more expensive than other methods. It can be stated that ceramic fillings are costly, especially since they aim to achieve a superior aesthetic appearance and are one of the most popular dental treatment methods in recent times. It is one of the preferred methods for solving problems that occur in the teeth due to factors such as dental caries, trauma or root canal treatment. Ceramic fillings, whose main disadvantage is cost, are among the most used techniques in conservative and restorative dental treatments. What Is Tooth Decay and How Does It Occur? Tooth decay is basically the result of bacterial plaques formed by bacteria in the mouth. Acid may arise from the residues of floury and sugary foods, especially in the mouth. These acids erode the natural mineral tissue of the tooth structure and cause the deterioration of tooth enamel. This process brings with it the stages of the onset of dental caries and the formation of cavities called cavities. First of all, caries that start on the outer surface can progress and spread to other teeth as long as the right treatments are not applied. For this reason, dental caries should be considered and treated as soon as possible. Conservative and restorative dental treatment stages are among the most important methods of decayed tooth treatment. How Does Tooth Decay Progress and What Are Its Symptoms? Dental caries can be detected by the presence of cavities or holes that can be seen directly. However, there are various ways of understanding other than this symptom. For example, toothaches that occur for no apparent reason, and the tooth has a more sensitive structure than normal. Likewise, the presence of sharp or mild pain in the tooth while consuming cold or hot drinks should be considered. Tooth decay has a structure that starts in a small area and progresses, if not treated, due to the bacterial density in the area. Therefore, paying attention to caries in one tooth is necessary for the protection of other teeth. Tooth decay symptoms stand out as important elements for conservative and restorative dental treatments. What Should One Do to Prevent Tooth Decay? First of all, taking care of the teeth and gingival area is the best method to prevent cavities that may occur later. First of all, it is necessary to apply the right care to the teeth in order to avoid any problems. In case of any discomfort, it is important to consult a dentist without waiting. Brushing your teeth twice a day is one of the most important elements. In addition, rinsing the mouth after any food consumption is one of the practices that can be done to prevent food residues from forming. To protect teeth; It is also important to see a dentist every 6 months without the need for conservative and restorative dental treatments. How Is Tooth Decay Treated? Dental caries are prominent as diseases that need to be treated. One of the most common methods of treatment is dental filling. With dental filling, it is aimed to protect the healthy structure of the tooth. In advanced dental caries, where the healthy tissue is too little and cannot be preserved, the tooth can be extracted. Today, many dental treatment methods can prevent these problems. It is known that fillings, which are one of the most up-to-date and useful treatment methods of dental caries, have a wide variety. Composite and amalgam fillings, especially ceramic fillings, can be listed among the most preferred types. Should Broken, Worn, or Discolored Edge Fillings Be Replaced? Fillings that are damaged, broken or discolored in any way should be replaced. The reason for this is the possibility that the caries may reoccur under the filling area that has now become insufficient. Bacteria formation from the edge of the fracture will be more. There is also the same risk around the colored filling. Therefore, the repair or renewal of the filling is very important in terms of protecting the tooth. Care and renewal processes should also be considered as a part of conservative and restorative dental treatment practices. Should Amalgam Fillings (Silver Fillings) Be Replaced With Composite Fillings (White Fillings)? Today, as the current type of filling, ceramic and composite-like fillings that complement the tooth structure are preferred. However, amalgam fillings can also be counted as one of the methods used. At this stage, it is recommended not to replace amalgam fillings if there is no caries formation or if there is no complaint on the fracture or similar filling. Especially if amalgam fillings made in a large area instead of a small area do not cause any discomfort, it may be possible to continue using it. However, if there is an aesthetic complaint due to the color difference, it is possible to replace it with composite fillings. Composite fillings are created much more robustly than before and can be easily used in every part of the tooth. Are Amalgam Fillings Harmful? Amalgam fillings are a controversial type of filling because they contain mercury. There are basically two different views in the literature. On the one hand, it is claimed that it is harmful, on the other hand, it is claimed that the mercury contained in it is much less than the mercury that is taken into our body with seafood. For this reason, certain references are offered by the World Dental Association. At the same time, a statement on the subject was made by the Turkish Dental Association. You can easily access these explanations online. It is possible to access a. Amalgam fillings have left their usage density to composite fillings due to the color difference and these discussions. Composite fillings can be easily preferred because they are produced in a much more useful and durable way than before. Especially the most used filling types of conservative and restorative dental treatment processes; types such as composite, ceramic and amalgam fillings.
