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.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery diagnoses and treats all diseases in the oral cavity. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery? Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery diagnoses and treats all diseases in the oral cavity. In this section, where the treatment of patients in all age ranges is applied; Patients with problems such as difficulty chewing or biting, difficulty swallowing, jaw joint problems and tooth wear are also taken care of. What Diseases Does Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Treat? Problems that are very common among maxillofacial surgery patients; It is usually noticed by difficulty in biting, chewing or swallowing problems. The patient should also be examined by specialist physicians in cases of dental wear, abrasion and jawbone problems. Finding and solving the sources of problems such as snoring, difficulties in noisy breathing and snoring are also included in the scope of this section. Related treatments within the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery are: Normal and surgical tooth extractions, Diagnosis and treatment of jaw cysts and tumors, Bone augmentation, Extraction of impacted and complicated teeth, Diagnosis and treatment of infections in the mouth, jaw and face, Diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue areas in the mouth, Treatment of fractures in the jaw and face area, Treatment of dental intraosseous lesions, Root tip resections, Surgical correction of hard and soft tissues before dental prosthesis construction, Treatment of cleft lip and palate, Medical and surgical treatment of salivary gland diseases, Surgical treatment of deformities that cause aesthetic and functional disorders, Implant applications, Treatment of bone necrosis in the jaw due to drugs and radiotherapy applied during cancer treatment is performed. Treatments Applied in Our Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Department Clinic Congenital or acquired maxillofacial abnormalities, implant placement, implant surgery, Positioning bone grafts in jawbones where there is not enough space for the implant, Treatment of cleft palate and lip, embedded tooth extraction, Jawbone cyst treatment procedures are applied. What are the Problems That May Occur If Jaw Bone Cysts Are Not Treated? Cavities containing liquid or semi-liquid and covered with soft tissue are called cysts. Small enough to be seen only with a microscope, these bacteria are found in the mouth at all hours of the day. If the number of bacteria in the mouth exceeds a certain rate, this situation begins to damage the mouth structure, creating various wounds and swellings in the mouth. As a result of these symptoms, the patient is diagnosed with a jawbone cyst by specialist physicians who have developed themselves in the field of oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery. Jaw cysts, which can be treated with surgery, grow slowly and unnoticed. As long as the patient delays the treatment, pain and swelling may occur, as well as numbness and burning due to nerve compression. Since this situation will affect the daily life of the patient, treatment should be started as soon as possible. Even if the cysts do not cause any discomfort to the patient, they must be treated. Jaw cysts can be benign or malignant, as in any cyst. Cysts that may appear benign at first have the risk of turning into malignant cysts later on. This causes serious weakening of the jaw muscles. Oral care should be done without interruption in order to prevent the formation of cysts. Some of the main problems that may arise in cases where the jaw cyst is not treated are as follows: The cyst grows insidiously over time without the patient noticing and weakens the jawbone. The jawbone becomes breakable with the slightest blow. Jaw cysts, which also occur due to impacted teeth, can also affect healthy neighboring teeth and cause tooth loss. Health cannot be neglected, and as with any disease, early diagnosis saves lives. What Complications Can Cause Impacted Teeth? Impacted teeth are teeth that have not erupted or have not erupted where they should have come out in the mouth. The teeth may remain buried under the skin due to factors such as the thickness of the gingiva, the absence of a tooth eruption area, and genetic factors. As long as the impacted teeth are not extracted, the pressure applied to the adjacent teeth can cause infection and cause tooth decay. These teeth may also need to be extracted for orthodontic reasons. As the tooth tries to come out, slipping and deformity of the teeth may occur due to the application of pushing on the teeth in the front. Extraction of impacted teeth is performed by advanced oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons. The patient can return to his daily life immediately after the procedure. Various complications may occur in case of not using or disrupting the prescription drugs to be given by the physician. In some patients, the tooth may remain embedded in sufficient empty spaces in the jawbone. In this case, if the impacted tooth does not harm the patient and the adjacent teeth, there is no need for surgical intervention. What are Implant Applications? What are the Benefits? An implant is an artificially produced tooth root. Implant made of titanium and alloys; As a treatment method, it is often used to fill the cavity of decayed and extracted teeth. Since the jawbone will accept the titanium as a part of the body, the recovery period is short and the permanence period is long. Implant application, which is preferred by many patients, is performed by oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons. The reason why this treatment method is used so frequently is that it offers a wide range of treatment methods to patients with missing or no teeth. The advantages of the implant treatment method compared to traditional treatment methods are quite high. One of the biggest advantages of this method is that it never harms the surrounding teeth during or after the application. Implant teeth, which are close to the natural tooth appearance, give the person an aesthetic and healthy appearance. If oral care is done regularly, implant teeth provide a lifetime of use. This care is quite simple and should be added to the patient's daily oral care routine after treatment. Teeth should be brushed regularly and correctly twice a day, and then between teeth should be cleaned with dental floss to ensure that food residues are removed. The main advantages of implant treatment are: fluent speech, Perfect tooth root Confidence, oral health, Durability, It provides ease of eating. How is Implant Treatment Applied? Implant treatment is a very simple and painless procedure in today's technology. Since anesthesia will be applied during the treatment, the patient will not feel any pain. The type of anesthesia is decided by physicians who are experts in the field of oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery after the patient is examined. As a result of the joint decision of the patient and the physician, anesthesia is applied generally or locally. Titanium screws, that is, implants with artificial tooth roots, which can be used for a long time, are placed in the jawbone of the patient, who is prepared for the operation. It takes about 10-15 minutes to make each implant. Fusion to the jawbone so that the placed implants can replace the real tooth root it needs. This period takes place between 3 and 6 months depending on the bone structure. In this process, the implants fuse with the jawbone and become ready for the next procedure. In the process of union, the patient; He should pay attention to his diet, reduce the use of alcohol and cigarettes. Because the use of these substances prevents the implant from fusing with the jawbone and accordingly the implant may be lost. After the patient recovers, the implants are able to lift the prosthetic tooth and permanent prosthesis is applied. Any patient with a suitable gap in the mouth and jawbone can have implant treatment. However, in some patients, there may not be enough free space for implantation. In such cases, a suitable area is created for implant placement in the patient with advanced surgical methods. People with diseases such as high blood pressure and hemophilia should be treated with an implant procedure together with their doctors. Likewise, if a disease that will prevent healing, such as diabetes, is controlled with drugs, there will be no problem in the application of implant treatment. What is Tooth Extraction? Tooth extraction is the extraction of unhealthy teeth that cannot be cured as a result of damage to one or more teeth. This procedure is performed by specialist dentists or oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons, under local anesthesia or various sedation applications. Milk teeth fall out over time and are replaced by permanent teeth, and these permanent teeth can remain on the jawbone for a lifetime. People apply to specialist physicians to have their sequential teeth extracted due to various ailments. For orthodontic treatments, teeth that disrupt the oral structure and impair the tooth structure by applying pressure to the neighboring teeth should be extracted. After tooth extraction, the patient can continue his daily life from where he left off. However, they should not consume hot food and drink for 24 hours, and should not use alcohol and cigarettes. What is Impacted Tooth Extraction? Teeth that cannot come out because they do not have enough space or cannot come into the right position are called impacted teeth. Mostly, 20-year-old teeth have impacted teeth problems. However, in some cases, there is a possibility of impacted teeth that are not wisdom teeth. Teeth that have stopped protruding from the gums may in some cases come out halfway and then stop coming out. Since the structure of each impacted tooth is different, different treatment methods should be applied to the individual. The most effective treatment method for teeth that press on other teeth, move in the jawbone and do not come out spontaneously is surgical intervention. The extraction of impacted teeth, which gives pain to the patient over time, is performed by oral, dental and maxillofacial surgeons. One of the main reasons why impacted teeth cause pain is the application of general pressure in the mouth and the compression of healthy teeth, as there is no place to come out. The treatment is given to the patient after local anesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour. If the patient uses the painkillers given by the doctor after tooth extraction, he will start to heal without any pain. The recovery period is an average of 7 days. Impacted tooth symptoms are as follows: Bleeding in the mouth, teeth or gums, gum sensitivity, Pain in the jaw and ear, Swelling that may occur in the lymph nodes, Headache, bad breath, Difficulty opening the mouth It can be seen in the form of pain when chewing or biting food. What are the Advantages of Quadruple Implant Treatment? Implant treatment is applied to the patient to fill the gaps caused by tooth loss and various reasons. However, the treatment of people who have lost many teeth or are edentulous can be very long and costly. With this method, instead of using a single implant for each missing tooth, four implants are used at the top and four at the bottom. The quadruple implant application technique is applied to patients who have no teeth. This treatment is used to fix the prosthesis with 4-6 implants; It is a simple, painless, effective and affordable method. Bone losses are usually at the back of the patients' jaws, and therefore this application can be performed on the anterior jawbone. With this technique, oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery clinics provide the patient with natural and beautiful-looking teeth in the same day with a single surgical procedure.

Gum Diseases is the inflammation of the soft tissue around the teeth by being damaged for various reasons. Periodontitis, which is easily treated with early diagnosis, can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Gum diseases are easy to treat, but if neglected, it will lead to irreversible results. Gum Diseases What is Gum Diseases? Gum Diseases is the inflammation of the soft tissue around the teeth by being damaged for various reasons. Periodontitis, which is easily treated with early diagnosis, can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Gum diseases are easy to treat, but if neglected, it will lead to irreversible results. In addition, the protection of teeth and healthy gums will provide good digestion and keep your body healthy. Why Do Gum Diseases Occur? A soft bacterial layer, called microbial dental plaque, accumulates on all tooth surfaces and between them. If this plaque is not removed from the teeth well, harmful bacteria will multiply and cause you to deal with gum disease. The harmful substances produced by bacteria cause inflammation in the gums and recession of the gums. Over time, microbial dental plaque turns into dental calculus over time, paving the way for gum diseases. What Causes Gum Diseases? One of the main causes is gingival plaque. However, factors such as cigarettes, drugs and stress have a significant impact on dental health. Dental health affects general body health. Smoking not only harms the body but also increases the risk of gum disease. Due to the chemicals in the cigarette and the heat it gives to the gums, it causes gingivitis to go unnoticed. Medications have a negative effect on gum health. Birth control pills, antidepressants, blood pressure and heart medications, immunosuppressant drugs will cause gum recession and gum inflammation. Although stress is the cause of many diseases, it poses a risk in the formation and treatment of periodontal diseases. Vitamin deficiency can lead to gum disease. Since the immunity of the body without vitamins will decrease, it will become open to infections. Unhealthy diet negatively affects the body and weakens its immune system, making it vulnerable to infections. Gum diseases increase with unhealthy diet and become difficult to treat. What are the Symptoms of Gum Diseases? Gum bleeding, especially during tooth brushing Sensitive and swollen gums, bad breath, Recession in the gums, Gums begin to separate from around the teeth, gingivitis, Teeth begin to wobble and roots begin to appear. Gum diseases can occur as gum recession, bleeding gums, and gum inflammation. Causes such as not paying attention to oral hygiene, brushing wrong and hard teeth, incorrect fillings, dental calculus, bruxism (teeth clenching) cause periodontal diseases. If gingival diseases are still in the initial stage and have not progressed to the bone, the problem can be easily eliminated by paying attention to the cleaning of the calculus and oral care. However, if the problem progresses to the bone and progresses to the tissues under the gingiva, appropriate surgical procedures should be intervened. How Are Gum Diseases Treated? At the initial stage, oral hygiene training is given to the patient by cleaning the tooth and tooth surface, tooth root and tartar. Proper brushing and flossing is carefully demonstrated. Paying attention to oral hygiene is a form of treatment that will be sufficient for a simple gingivitis. However, different methods should be applied in more severe diseases. Surgical treatment method should be used in advanced periodontal diseases. In case of advanced infection and gingival recession, cavities called periodontal pockets are eliminated. Painless and bleeding-free treatment is possible with technological devices such as laser. After the application, the patient is kept under observation with 3, 6, 12-month controls in order to return to his daily routine and have completely healthy gums. How to Prevent Gingival Recession (Periodontitis)? Keeping the teeth as clean as possible is one of the easiest and most practical ways to minimize gingival recession. You can easily prevent your gums from receding by brushing your teeth twice a day, using flossing and cleaning your teeth regularly by dentists. What is Tooth Sensitivity and How Does It Occur? Tooth sensitivity refers to dent or root sensitivity in the teeth. If factors such as hot, cold, sweet, sour, acidic drinks or cold weather cause your teeth to become sensitive and sore, it means you have tooth sensitivity. The enamel layer on the teeth covers the dentin in the tooth and prevents the tooth from being affected by factors such as cold and heat. If the enamel layer loses its function, dentin will be exposed as a result of gingival recession and you will face tooth sensitivity. How Is Tooth Sensitivity Treated? The treatment of tooth sensitivity is through paying attention to oral hygiene. If you do your daily dental and oral care correctly and regularly, it will respond positively to the treatment of gum diseases. Dentists have some suggestions to reduce your tooth sensitivity; Avoid hard blows and applications to your teeth, Make sure to clean your teeth with a soft bristle brush, You need to brush your teeth regularly, You should floss regularly and correctly. What Can Be Done to Prevent Tooth and Gum Diseases? For oral health, you should be under the control of a dentist regularly once every 6 months. Regular check-ups will easily prevent possible gingival disorders. Plaque builds up on the teeth over time. Wrong brushing and not using dental floss cause periodontitis diseases by turning these plaques into dental calculus over time. But regular brushing and flossing alone will not be enough. It is necessary to clean the tartar regularly under the control of the dentist. Teeth should be cleaned with the right technique with a soft-bristled toothbrush, which is not too much trouble. Smoking should be stopped, attention should be paid to healthy nutrition and stress should be avoided as much as possible. What are the Complications that May Occur with Gum Retraction? One of the saddest consequences of gum recession is losing teeth. In addition, with gum recession, harmful bacteria can easily enter the circulatory system and harm the general health of your body. Is There a Connection Between Gum Disease and General Health? A discomfort in the gums will affect other organs. Bacteria in the gums are said to damage organs. All harmful organisms that occur in the gums can travel through the body through the circulation. Respiratory ailments are said to be linked to rheumatoid arthritis, coronary artery and blood sugar control problems in diabetes, and gum recession. Is Gum Disease Hereditary? It has not been proven to be genetic, but some people have a genetic predisposition to certain diseases. For this reason, people with gum diseases in family members should be more attentive to their teeth and should not interrupt their checkups by going to the dentist regularly. If you do not want any disease to occur in the gums, the most important detail that you should pay attention to is not to interrupt the cleaning of the teeth. You can prevent the problem by taking early precautions against any problem by having monthly check-ups with the dentists. If the dentists deem it appropriate, you can solve the discomfort with antibiotic treatment and the use of a special mouthwash. Brushing the teeth twice a day and using dental floss will be very useful as it will destroy the bacteria. Is Mouthwash Used for Gum Diseases? Mouthwash is one of the dental cleaning products that must be used in any gum disease. It will help to prevent plaque and tartar formation by cleaning your teeth by contributing to dental cleaning. Which Department Takes Care of Gum Diseases? You can start your treatment by applying to the periodontology department. (Periondontology; the branch of science dealing with the treatment of diseases that occur in the gums.) What are the Suggestions for the Prevention of Gum Diseases? It is necessary to brush the teeth regularly and use the bottom floss. A soft-bristled brush is recommended. Vitamin C deficiency is said to be effective on gum diseases. Keeping your vitamin C level at a certain level under the supervision of a doctor will be beneficial for your teeth. Not smoking has become something recommended by almost all dentists. Smoking will trigger gum diseases and turn the treatment into a difficult process. We recommend that you adopt a regular and healthy diet. Consuming too much fast food and adopting a greasy, unhealthy diet will trigger gum disease. Are There Herbal Treatment Methods For Gum Diseases? It is known that plants are very useful for gum diseases. One of them is the daisy. It is known that chamomile protects against gum diseases due to its antiseptic nature and does not cause any side effects. You can keep the chamomile in boiling water for 10 minutes and then use it as a mouthwash. It is recommended to discontinue use in case of any allergic reaction. Thyme cure is one of the most useful herbs when used regularly. It is recommended to use 2-3 times a day while brushing your teeth. It has been determined that licorice root also prevents plaque formation and is good for gingivitis. Licorice root, a natural sweetener, can be used as a sugar substitute in teas. It is recommended to consume 3 cups a day. Overuse can cause headaches, increased blood pressure, and fatigue. Echinacea is an herb known for boosting the immune system. Echinacea, which is recommended to be used in the form of mouthwash, will strengthen your immunity and protect you against any gum disease. Many people know that green tea has many benefits. We cannot pass without saying that it is also good for gum disease. You can use warm green tea regularly by gargling. Nettle, which turns into a very useful plant for teeth with its antibacterial properties, also prevents the formation of dental plaque and acts as a natural mouthwash. Peppermint is a very powerful herb in fighting bacteria. Drinking mint tea will prevent gingivitis and leave a fresh taste in your mouth. Sage, containing antiseptic components, stops bleeding and removes bacteria. It is common for cloves to be used in gum care. Clove provides daily care for your teeth by destroying bacteria with its antiseptic properties. What Can Happen If Gum Disease Is Not Treated? If the teeth are ignored and gum diseases are not treated, the disease progresses to the bone and can lead to irreversible results. Inflammation of the tissues progresses to the alveolar bone that supports the teeth and can cause you to lose your teeth. Can Alcohol Cause Gum Diseases? Since alcohol causes changes in the amount and structure of saliva, it can make your teeth vulnerable to bad breath and infections. In addition to its effects such as irritation and redness, it can increase an existing infection and complicate the treatment process. How Long Does Gum Disease Treatment Take? Today, since the treatment is applied with laser practical technology tools, the healing process is faster without bleeding and pain. Although the duration of treatment varies according to the problem you are experiencing and the course of your disease, you can extend or shorten the treatment by applying to your dentist whenever you feel any discomfort. Do Children Have Gum Diseases? It is said that the risk of gum disease in children increases as they get older. However, there are some situations where children are at risk. You are faced with conditions such as not paying attention to oral care, insufficient and malnutrition, pediatric diseases, vitamin deficiency. Is Toothpaste Choice Important for Gum Diseases? Your toothbrush and brushing technique are more important than the toothpaste to be used. If you are not in a special situation, it would be a good choice to choose the suitable toothpaste for you or to get advice from your dentist. However, it is seen that many patients with gingival problems experience some difficulties in the teeth brushing technique. For this reason, if you apply for examinations, you will first be shown the correct brushing and flossing techniques, and then treatment will be started. Does Gum Disease Cause Bad Breath? If you have a problem such as gingivitis, infection and bacteria can cause bad breath. Diseases such as bruises, pharyngitis, sinusitis, reflux can cause bad breath. You can find a solution to this problem in a short time by contacting your dentist.

Dental Implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to support the prosthesis. Implants made to replace missing teeth are screws made of titanium, which are long-lasting and can be used for a lifetime without any problems. The procedure is performed by dentists in sterile environments with a surgical intervention to be applied to the jawbone with a surgical procedure. Dental Implant What is Dental Implant?

The procedure is performed by dentists in sterile environments with a surgical intervention to be applied to the jawbone with a surgical procedure. What are the Advantages of Dental Implants Compared to Bridge Construction? Patients prefer dental implant or bridge treatment to replace their lost teeth. Which treatment method will be applied is decided by the examination of dentists specialized in oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery. In order to apply bridge treatment, at least two teeth on both sides of the gap are cut. Afterwards, measurements are taken and the prosthesis made is adhered to these cut teeth. In implant treatment, an implant with an artificial tooth root is added to the jawbone of the areas where there is a missing tooth, with screws created with titanium. The most important advantage of the implant is that it protects other healthy teeth. In the bridge, it is necessary to damage the two healthy teeth for the missing tooth. One of the differences between implant and bridge treatment is the duration of use. The implant provides lifelong use to the patient. Bridge treatment, on the other hand, has a period of use that varies according to the material it is made of. This period usually varies between 10-15 years. The implant is much closer to the natural tooth than the bridge in terms of aesthetic appearance. At the same time, with the implant treatment, the patient will gain a better speech, chewing and smile. One of the disadvantages of the bridge is that the healthy teeth used as bridge legs also have the risk of decay over time, and in this case, the bridge treatment must be renewed by treating the decayed tooth. In addition, the probability of developing gum disease of the bridge is higher than the implant. The only advantage of the bridge is that it is low cost and can be used as an instant solution. However, it should not be forgotten that implant treatment is safer, more durable and long-lasting. Another situation where a bridge can be preferred is as follows; If the other tooth on the side is problematic, has fractures or contains large fillings, and if they are covered at the same time, they will be healthier, a bridge should be considered as the first choice. It should be noted that there are some cases where implants cannot be applied. Implant treatment cannot be applied to children and individuals whose bone development has not been completed. In addition, implant treatment cannot be applied to people with diabetes, hemophilia or significant immune system diseases. Bridge prosthesis method is suitable for these patients. What are the Benefits of a Dental Implant? Implant treatment is a more durable and reliable method compared to all other methods. Dental implant treatment, which is applied without touching other teeth, does not harm any tooth as it is applied alone. Implants, which are made of the material closest to the natural tooth appearance, do not cause any change or deterioration in the person's mouth and tooth structure. In treatments such as bridges and canals, visual distortions may occur due to the deterioration of the tooth structure. However, there is no problem such as deterioration in implant treatment. Since the jaw can perform the chewing function properly with the implant, people are free to eat whatever they want. Consuming hard foods on teeth with veneers or fillings can make the person nervous. Because it is very likely to break and re-treatment. People often prefer implant treatment to have aesthetically beautiful teeth and appearance. The duration of use is quite long compared to various other treatment methods. Implants made of the right material and applied correctly can be used for a lifetime. Oral care must be done after implant treatment. The patient should add the oral care recommendations to be created by the physician to his daily routine. After the treatment, the person is given an appearance that he will not have to restrict his behaviors such as talking and laughing. What Should Be Considered After Dental Implant Application? After the implant treatment, the patient is discharged on the same day. The prescription given by the dentist should be used in full by the patient. During the healing process of the implant procedure, the patient should attach great importance to oral care. Smoking and alcohol should be avoided until the healing process is over. Otherwise, the implants will not fuse with the bone and this may cause various infections. How Long Does a Dental Implant Last? It is possible to produce solutions that are closest to reality with advancing technology and developing health in the partial or complete loss of teeth. Implant treatment begins with placing an artificial prosthesis on the jawbone. Then, dental implant treatment, which is almost indistinguishable from the real tooth, is applied on the area that fuses with the jawbone and completely ossifies. In this application, the placement time of the bone varies according to the width of the patient's mouth or the suitability in the mouth. The average duration of implant treatment varies from 10 minutes to half an hour. In patients with a narrow jaw structure for implant application, this process may take up to a few hours. For the ossification and fusion process of the applied artificial base, the placement of the teeth and a problem-free jaw and tooth use process, the treatment takes place in a time period ranging from about 3 months to 8 months. Can a Dental Implant be Applied to Every Patient? The implants used in the treatment are screws that have a fixed width and height. For this reason, in order to apply dental implant treatment, the bone structure of the patient's jaw should be suitable for the treatment. The bone structure in the patient's jaw must have the width, capacity and height to carry the implants. If the bone structure has a certain suitability for implant treatment, the treatment is more successful. However, insufficiency in the jawbone of the person is treated with auxiliary techniques such as augmentation (bone addition) and soft grafting; the patient's mouth can be made suitable for implant treatment. Apart from this, it can be applied to every age group after adolescence, provided that people who want to have implants do not have problems in terms of oral and dental health. Patients suitable for implant treatment are as follows: Sufficient amount and quality of soft and hard tissues in the mouth, The bone structure must be of a certain width and height for the implant. Absence of some diseases that prevent bone structure such as hemophilia, Implant treatment can be applied in case of controlling diabetes (diabetes) diseases. Is a Dental Implant Necessary for Every Lost Tooth? Implant treatment can be applied to all oral cavities with sufficient jaw bone thickness and length. In order for the screwed tooth roots to be placed, the implant must contain the volume it occupies and be thick enough to surround the screwed tooth. In case of single tooth deficiencies, neighboring teeth may move towards empty spaces over the years, and there may not be a gap in this area where dental implant treatment will be applied. In such cases, it is not possible to perform implant treatment without bringing the teeth back to their original places with orthodontic treatment. Patients who want to have implant treatment in an area with a single tooth cavity should start implant treatment as soon as possible. In cases where there are two or three missing teeth in a row, but the neighboring teeth close this empty section, one or two implants are placed on the area in question and the other sections are covered prosthesis can be made. In this case, it is extremely important to plan implant and prosthesis with aesthetic appearance. In cases where bone quality and sufficiency cannot be increased, implant application cannot be performed. Since the bone resorption is very advanced in these patients, the patient may not be suitable for implant treatment despite the necessary surgical operations. However, in multiple edentulous diseases, implant treatment can be applied by planning on regions where bone quality and at the same time sufficiency are more suitable. Implants are not necessary for every missing tooth. It is possible to make an interdental bridge in areas where there is more than one tooth loss. Is It Possible for the Body to Not Accept the Dental Implant? Titanium, the raw material of the implant, is the most suitable material for human tooth structure. The body accepts titanium in a very short time and as a result, the healing process begins. The implant is not accepted by the body. However, factors such as not paying attention to oral hygiene during the recovery period, excessive alcohol and cigarette consumption, and possible infections; They can prevent the implant from combining with the bone. As a result, the dental implant may be lost. When the implant is applied, the healing process can be overcome comfortably and without any problems by strictly following the doctor's recommendations. After recovery, the implants can be used for a lifetime, thanks to regular physician controls and a good routine oral care. What is done in the first dental implant examination? Before starting the treatment, the patient should be examined by a physician specialized in oral, dental and maxillofacial surgery. The first examination to be performed by the dentist consists of diagnosis and planning of treatment. Afterwards, the patient is made suitable for intraoral treatment. In the clinical examination, it is determined what kind of treatment the patient needs. After the treatment, the type of implant requested by the patient and how the prosthesis will look are determined in the first examination. How Does the Dental Implant Treatment Process Proceed? The implant treatment process varies from patient to patient. In cases of multiple tooth loss, the prosthesis stage is started on the same day with the quadruple implant treatment. In some patients, due to additional surgical procedures, the fusion period should be waited. Porcelain veneers are made on the dental implant, which fuses for an average of 3 months in the upper jaw and an average of 2 months in the lower jaw. If additional processing is applied to the jaws that are not thick enough or low, the waiting period may be extended up to 6 months. How Is Nutrition After Dental Implant? There are important points that you should pay attention to before and after the patient's implant treatment. After the treatment, the patient should pay a lot of attention to his eating habits. Some eating habits to be aware of are: Very cold or very hot food and drink should not be consumed after the implant. Food and liquid should not be consumed for at least 2 hours after the implant procedure. Solid foods should be avoided, especially for the first 24 hours. The patient should consume soft foods, but avoid consuming hot foods. How Is Oral Care Done After Dental Implant? After the implant treatment is applied, the healing process that the patient should pay attention to will begin. The patient should avoid movements that will cause pressure in the mouth until he is completely healed. On the day of implant treatment, the mouth should not be rinsed. Gargle should not be done. In the first days of treatment, the patient should be gentle and slow in brushing and flossing. The saliva accumulated in the mouth should be thrown out during this period. However, it is necessary to stay away from snoring or blowing that will create room for pressure in the mouth. For this reason, it is also possible to clean the implant areas with the help of moistened cotton cloth or gauze.

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.

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. 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. 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. Local anesthesia also shows its effect after the procedure. Pain may occur as it loses its effect over time. Pain can be prevented by taking the medications recommended by the dentist. I Had Root Canal Treatment But I Still Have Pain In My Tooth, Why? Root canal treatment is known as a painful treatment. This situation varies according to the formation of infection in the tooth and the damage to the tooth. In fact, under normal conditions, pain does not occur. Because here, local anesthesia is applied to the patient before the procedure. With local anesthesia, pain does not appear both during and after the procedure. The cause of the pain felt varies according to the size of the infection in the tooth. To prevent painful situations that may occur; It is recommended to use the medicines recommended by the dentist regularly. In this way, pain relief and treatment can be controlled.
