Dental Implants
Artificial tools are employed in this procedure for replacing the teeth that have been lost. The implants are available in several shapes and sizes. This method is quite modern when it comes to replacing teeth that have been lost. Implants act as a substitute for natural roots of the tooth. The implants are cylindrical in shape and made up of titanium. The major benefits of dental implant include: enhanced appearance, comfort, speech, oral health, self-esteem and convenience. Implants last for several years as these are durable.
Oral Surgery
It is a special sort of surgery which is performed on the bones of jaws with an aim to alter its positions. It is generally termed as corrective facial surgery. It is most popular due to cosmetic reasons. This treatment promises long-term solution to oral health issue
Root Canal Treatment
Each and every tooth has a soft tissue i.e. pulp which is nourishing the tooth. Due to deep decay or any sort of gum disease, the pulp tissue becomes infected. Since the tissue within the tooth is attached with a hard tissue, the dentist needs to remove the infected pulp or soft tissue. Cleansing of the area is done and the canals are filled with the aid of an exclusive material. This denies entry to the bacteria into the tooth and leaves no room for infection.
Emergency Dentist Sheffield.
Tooth fractures range from being minor fractures in which the outer layer of the tooth is damaged to severe in which the tooth itself and its roots are fractured. Fractured or cracked teeth result in pain whilst chewing or when exposed to extreme temperatures such as drinking hot coffee. In the majority of cases, the pain is inconsistent, meaning that some patients don't immediately identify it as a dental emergency and continue with their daily routine despite the fact that it will only damage the tooth further. This pain is caused by the tooth's pulp becoming irritated. Pulp is the inside of the tooth where all the nerves and blood vessels of the tooth are stored. The pulp becomes irritated in that as the patient chews, the cracked pieces of the tooth moves and irritates the pulp. If left untreated, the pulp eventually goes beyond the point of being able to heal itself. This can lead to an infection of the pulp tissue which may spread to the surrounding gums and bone.
In order to successfully aid your dentists in the treatment of your tooth fracture, one must first rinse the mouth with warm water. This allows for any blood that may have appeared to be rinsed away from the site in order to access how fractured your tooth is. You should then put a cold compress on your face depending on where the affected area is in order to reduce swelling.
Depending on the damage, sometimes dentists can simply smooth over the fracture if the tooth only obtained aesthetic damage, they may even decide to leave it alone. They may also treat it with a composite restoration.
In cases of more severe fractures; when the damage extends into the enamel or nerves and other live tissues of the tooth, the tooth is able to be fully restored with a full crown if the nerves and live tissues are not permanently damaged. If further damage to the nerves and other live tissues occurs, further dental treatment will have to be undertaken.
In the worst possible case scenario, an incredibly severe fracture has an incredibly small chance of being able to be fully restored. Your dentist may resort to extracting the remains of the tooth from its socket and replacing it with an implant.
In terms of aftercare for having a fractured tooth smoothed, restored or removed, one should treat the mouth sensitively for at least 72 hours. The aim of treatments for fractured teeth is to reduce pain and lessen the chance of the fracture growing. One should be aware of the fact that, unlike other bones, the fracture in a tooth will never heal. In fact, some cracks may continue to worsen despite treatment, resulting in the loss of the tooth. Your dentist can decrease the possibility of the tooth worsening by placing a crown on the cracked tooth to provide it some support, however it doesn't guarantee success. Once treated, the tooth is still able to function normally with no pain involved for years.
