During pregnancy, women experience a number of changes in your body which can lead to the emergence of problems with your teeth and gums. For this reason it is necessary to have a special dental care to prevent any bacteria to move the baby.

During pregnancy is very normal for women to consume more sugar, more acidity present in the mouth, you have to eat more times a day, and therefore may develop some swelling. The gingivitis (gum inflammation) is one of them. Pregnant women can receive dental treatment at any stage of pregnancy. However, the second trimester (between the fourth and sixth month of pregnancy), the best time for this, since at this stage she has greater stability, and there are fewer risks to mother and baby. In the first trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated drugs that women take, make films, because they can affect the normal development of the baby. During this period, she should perform emergency dental treatment only, which can not be postponed. In the second quarter, the pregnant woman can perform emergency treatment and x-rays with protection (apron and thyroid collar lined with lead).

And in the third quarter , only emergency treatment is advised. Dental visits should be short and long films is made ??with protection. In the case of women need a local anesthetic will be the professional who cares, who will choose the most appropriate anesthetic. At all stages, it is very important for women to increase their oral hygiene. Teeth should be brushed daily, floss and interproximal brushes. During pregnancy, many women focus their attention more on the baby and end up forgetting about their own oral hygiene.

AIDS and dental health

Monday, September 19th, 2011

What is the difference between HIV and AIDS? HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. A virus is a microorganism that can only be seen under an electron microscope. When a person is infected with HIV, it gradually attacks the defense system of the human organism. Therefore, a person infected with the virus gradually loses its strength and can not fight off other infections. AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Although it may take many years, virtually all people infected with HIV develop AIDS. A syndrome is a collection of symptoms that when taken together are known as disease. AIDS eventually leads to death. How can my dentist to prevent HIV / AIDS infection during dental treatment? The only way that HIV can be transmitted during treatment when it comes into contact with the blood of an infected person HIV.

All dentists routinely follow hygiene and infection control to prevent transmission of infection. Cleaning and sterilizing instruments, surfaces, etc.. after treatment and the use of disposable items like gloves and needles are the means used by your dentist during treatment to protect patients.

It can spread HIV / AIDS through saliva? No. Although some reports mention that in the saliva of some people infected with the virus have been found tiny amounts of HIV anywhere in the world there is evidence that the infection can spread through saliva. You have been infected once a person during the dental treatment? Yes In an office of the United States credit that several patients were infected by a dentist who has died of AIDS. However, investigations revealed that the dentist sometimes did not take the precautions recommended by the American Dental Association. As I concerned about AIDS, I must stop going to the dentist? No. The dental care and treatment are essential and very important personal health and the fear of contracting the HIV virus must be judged in that context. They are so small the risk of infection during dental treatment makes no sense to avoid treatment.

Disadvantages of Laser in Dental Treatments

Monday, February 28th, 2011
Like any other technique, the laser also has drawbacks and difficulties, such as:• The laser is not very suitable for removing materials previously placed in the teeth. Amalgams release mercury removed with laser, which is toxic to the body.

• Crowns, veneers and others who require special preparations straight walls can not be achieved with a laser.

• The lasers are quite expensive, so most dentists are not in the capacity of acquiring them.

• expensive dental treatment due to the high cost of equipment.

Advantages of Dental Laser

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

• Laser treatments are painless, the dentist can adjust the laser power, if there is any discomfort.

• The laser produces an almost imperceptible sound and no vibration, contrary to the disturbing and feared turbine.

• Helps protect healthy tissues by removing only the diseased tissue, thus keeping the tooth in the best condition possible.

• Eliminates virtually “punctures in the mouth”, as it requires no anesthetic injections. Only less than 2% of patients may need them.

• The laser is the most effective means of desensitizing the “neck” of the teeth. With the use of lasers the patient can return to enjoy the sensation of hot and cold in seconds. Allowing prolonged improvement.

• Laser can work different areas of the mouth at the same meeting. Most cases can be resolved in one session, which avoids the patient having to make several visits to the dentist to fix your problem.

• Allows the patient to return to normal activities without numbness in the mouth and face, without having to bite on gauze or carrying a suture.

• Shorten the root canals or channels. This treatment is often long and painful with the conventional technology, can solve many cases in a single session with laser technology.

• In soft tissue surgery with laser, there is less bleeding and no stitches are required.

Dental Amalgam, “Safe and Effective”

Friday, February 4th, 2011

Encapsulated amalgam, a filling made from a combination of mercury with silver, copper or tin, has been listed as safe and effective material by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), placing it in the same category of class II medical device that have gold fillings and composite, for the use of dental restorations.Dr. Susan Runner, head of the FDA, said that “patients with dental amalgam fillings are not at risk from adverse health effects associated with mercury.” As stated by “prolonged trials in adults and children six and older, with dental amalgam fillings, have not established a causal connection between it and adverse health effects.”

Runner explained that some patients “suffer from allergies or a sensitivity to mercury or other metals used in dental fillings” so that these patients may develop “Contact reactions” within the oral cavity.

To address the needs of these patients, Dr. Runner indicated that “the FDA is organizing special controls for dental amalgam to help provide reasonable assurance on its safety and effectiveness.”

In this sense, the U.S. agency advised caution against the use of amalgam in patients with mercury allergy, use ventilation when handling this material and present a clear and summarized the benefits and risks of the technique before applying it to the patient.

 

Fixed Prosthesis

Saturday, January 29th, 2011
Is that the patient can not remove from the mouth, but it is cemented to the prepared teeth, ie, reduced in thickness and height. Cleaning is brushing all the crowns or bridges with toothbrush and toothpaste. For the pontic (cover that replaces the missing tooth or teeth) is also used a special floss called Super-floss to pass between the pontic and gum from the inside out or vice versa, making cleaning and avoiding the accumulation of debris food.

If it detects any change in the prosthesis should consult your dentist immediately.

Anyway, we recommend periodic testing of the same at regular intervals to take control of caries and periodontal disease, so you can make an early diagnosis.
