Tips for Managing Dental anxiety  

/ / Blog, Teeth / , , , , , , , , ,

Tips for Managing Dental anxiety Some individuals experience severe fear of dentists that they avoid their checkups for over decades until it becomes absolutely essential with severe pain. However, more often than not, it is more of an anxiety than extreme fear. This anxiety can be for the appointment in general with the dentists which is referred to as “White Coat Syndrome” or in particular can be to only needles called “Trypanophobia”.  Dental anxiety can present itself as Lack of sleep the night before, indigestion issues, nausea, difficulty in eating. During or just before the appointment, there may be trembling, increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, sweating, nausea, fainting.  Communication with the Dentist  A proper communication regarding particular concerns with the Dentist can alleviate fear and anxiety. An informed Dentist takes more time in explaining the procedure in detail and goes an extra mile for the patient to keep him/her comfortable throughout the procedure. In this way any surprises during the procedure can be avoided as the patient is well informed priory.  Meditation & deep breathing  Meditation, deep breathing exercises with aromatherapy will help the patient to relax. Practicing mindfulness can help the patient relax and focus on the surroundings.  Distractions One can distract their mind by listening to music or by requesting the Dentist to play their favorite show when the screen is attached to the dental chair. They can squeeze a stress ball or imagine being at a quiet, happy place with deep breathing combined.  Using hand signals By communicating with the Dentist priorly, that hand signals will be used incase of discomfort can greatly reduce the dental anxiety. This helps by making the patient feel like he is in control.  Appointment time Choose an appointment time which is less stressful, such as on a non-working day. A prior appointment with the Dentist requesting for no- wait time will be helpful.  Anti anxiety drugs One hour before the procedure an anti anxiety drug can be taken as prescribed by the dentist.  Conscious sedation This can be used, where in there is nitrous oxide inhalation in controlled dosage. The patients are still conscious and have control over their functions and can even drive back home.   Conclusion We at Solitaire Family Dentistry, take care of our patients with utmost care and caution.

Gum Surgery- A Complete Guide to understanding the procedure 

/ / Blog, Teeth / , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Gum Surgery: A Complete Guide to understanding the procedure    Why Gum health matters Healthy gums are required to keep the teeth in a firm, healthy position. Poor gum health causes the gums to swell & recede, leading to tooth mobility, tooth sensitivity, and bad breath. Even artificial prosthesis such as crowns, bridges & veneers need healthy gums. Poor oral/gum health can lead to overall general health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and respiratory infections in pregnant preterm babies and low birth weight babies.  What is gum surgery?  Gum surgery is done to restore gum health. It is done to repair swollen, infected and receding gums. Gum surgery also corrects gummy smile.   Why you might need Gum surgery  A person suffering from conditions such as Gingivitis & Periodontitis may need Gum surgery for betterment of their condition.  Types of Gum surgery  Deep scaling & root planning: These procedures remove the bacteria & tartar buildup from deep pocket spaces around the teeth. Root planning procedure additionally smoothens the root surfaces while removing the tartar buildup.  Flap surgery: In this, the gums around the teeth are opened up to gain access to the deposits deep inside the pockets. Defects in the bone are created due to anatomy or can be plaque induced. After the removal of tartar and granulation tissue, the defects are reshaped and bone grafting can be done to augment the bone or to fill in the bony defect.  In addition, Guided tissue regeneration can be done where in a mesh like material is placed below the gums before suturing, this allows the bone graft to grow and occupy the space left by the bony defect and prevents the gum from going back to its original position.  Gum grafting: In case of gum recession near the tooth, a tissue graft is taken from the palate area and is grafted in the area of gum recession.  Gummy smile correction: Excess gum tissue can be recontoured with the help of laser or scalpel to improve the smile.  Post surgery care & Recovery  Dentist will provide full instructions in detail after the surgery. It may take few days for the pain to completely subside. So pain killers are advised. No smoking, alcohol is recommended during the recovery period. Antiseptic mouthwash is to be used. Diet should consist of soft foods during the recovery period.  FAQs  Is gum surgery painful?  Some sensitivity might be experienced for few weeks after the surgery to hot and cold foods. Dentists can prescribe desensitizing tooth paste for the same.  How much time does recovery after gum surgery take?  One to 2 weeks. There can be some bleeding in the first 2 days, which will subside eventually.  Will Insurance cover Gum surgery?  Talks must be held with the insurance provider, as some providers cover and some do not.  Conclusion  Gum disease must be taken seriously, as it leads to damage of the bone and the tissues around it. It is also associated with general diseases such as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, etc. At Solitaire Family Dentistry, we emphasize getting regular checkups with 6 month cleaning appointments to remove the plaque and tartar buildup. Our aim is to educate our patients regarding the importance of regular visits and maintaining oral hygiene. Visit our dentalcare in kphb to know more about your gum health.

Maxillary sinus & Maxillary teeth Relationship 

/ / Blog, Teeth / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Maxillary Sinus & Maxillary Teeth Relationship  Maxillary Sinuses These are pyramid-shaped, paired sinuses on either side of the nose.  Sinuses are cavities filled with air and lined with cilia. They help in passage of air and filter the dust, viruses and bacteria. They lighten the weight of the skull, produce mucus, improve respiratory function, and help in the speech of an individual.  Maxillary sinuses produce nitrous monoxide and improve the respiratory function of the nose.  Relationship Between Maxillary Sinus and Maxillary Teeth  The roots of canine, premolars and molars have a close relationship with the maxillary sinus.  Sometimes the roots of the maxillary molars protrude into the sinus, while at other times, even though on the radiograph the roots appear to be protruding, in actual reality, the sinus lining borders the roots closely, giving an illusion of the roots inside the maxillary sinus.   Spread of Infection from the Teeth into the Sinus-Maxillary Sinusitis of Dental Origin  This can happen when the teeth apices lie very close to the sinus floor, the periapical infection from the teeth roots can cause sinusitis.  Extraction of maxillary teeth with roots penetrating the sinus floor can lead to an oro-antral communication, which can cause sinusitis.  Sometimes accidentally roots or entire teeth can get dislodged into the sinus, causing an infection.  Care to be Taken by the Clinician:  During extraction of maxillary teeth, an in depth analysis of the OPG to check the relationship of the sinus with the roots must be followed. A skilled surgeon must carry out the procedure and have mastery over the surgical technique.  During the Implant placement surgery, a cone bean CT must be taken instead of an OPG, as It gives an accurate measurement of the bone height. Superposition of anatomical structures, magnification, and lack of cross sectional anatomy, which are the drawbacks of an OPG, can be overcome with a CBCT. This will help in precise judgement and calculation for implant placement and avoiding mishaps such as sinus floor perforation.  Similarly, care is to be taken while performing endodontic surgery on premolars and molars to avoid an oroantral communication. This can result in sinus infection with the passage of bacteria, bone drill dust and resected tooth fragments entering the sinus cavity.  Conclusion Having proper anatomical knowledge regarding the relationship between the sinus and the teeth is important, to avoid any procedural errors while treating the maxillary posterior teeth. Highly skilled clinicians at Solitaire Family Dentistry will use the appropriate diagnostic methods and take considerable care to prevent mishaps from happening. At the first onset of Dental pain, It is important to visit the best dentist to determine the source of pain.   FAQ 1. What is the Maxillary Sinus? A.  These are pyramid-shaped, paired sinuses on either side of the nose.  Sinuses are cavities filled with air and lined with cilia. They help in passage of air and filter the dust, viruses and bacteria. They lighten the weight of the skull, produce mucus, improve respiratory function, and help in the speech of an individual.  Maxillary sinuses produce nitrous monoxide and improve the respiratory function of the nose.  2. Relationship Between Maxillary Sinus and Maxillary Teeth  A. The roots of the canine, premolars, and molars have a close relationship with the maxillary sinus.  Sometimes the roots of the maxillary molars protrude into the sinus, while at other times, even though on the radiograph the roots appear to be protruding, in actual reality, the sinus lining borders the roots closely, giving an illusion of the roots inside the maxillary sinus.    Table of Contents: The Best Dental Clinic in KPHB BLEEDING GUMS CAUSES and treatment General Dentistry at Solitaire Family Dentistry, KPHB Wisdom tooth extraction Foods that strengthen your teeth Pediatric Dental Care at Solitaire Family Dentistry Visit Our Clinic KPHB Branch Solitaire Family Dentistry Landline: 040-49883217 Phone: +91 6281497455 Address: 101, 1st Floor, Sri Geetanjali Towers, Above Blue Stone, Opp Nexus Mall, 6th Phase KPHB, Hyderabad, Telangana, India 500085

Veneers vs. Crowns: What’s the Difference?

/ / Blog / , , , , , , , ,

Veneers vs Crowns: What’s the Difference? Difference between veneers and crowns? When it comes to improving your smile or resolving dental issues, veneers and crowns are popular options. Understanding their distinctions will help you make the best decision for your Dental needs and cosmetic goals. What are dental veneers? Veneers are thin, custom-made coverings for the front surfaces of your teeth. They are often constructed of porcelain or resin and are effective for treating discoloration, minor misalignment, and chipped teeth. Veneers provide a cosmetic boost while requiring minimum alterations to your original tooth structure. Types of veneers: Porcelain veneers: These are strong and provide a natural, tooth like appearance. They are stain-resistant and offer a long-term solution. Composite Veneers: Made from tooth-colored resin, these are a less expensive choice. However, they may stain and wear out faster than porcelain veneers. What are dental crowns? Dental crowns, also known as caps, completely cover the tooth and restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns are commonly utilized when a tooth has been severely damaged or compromised. They safeguard and strengthen the tooth, enhancing its function and look. Types of Crowns: Metal crowns, made of metals such as gold or platinum, are extremely strong and long-lasting. They are more visible due to their shiny color. Porcelain Crowns: These match the natural color of your teeth, making them suitable for visible areas, although they may not be as long-lasting as metal crowns. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These have the strength of metal and the natural appearance of porcelain. Ceramic Crowns: Because of their natural appearance, ceramic crowns are ideal for front teeth; nevertheless, they may not withstand heavy chewing. Resin crowns are a less expensive option, but they are less durable and more likely to shatter. Veneers and crowns differ in their purpose and coverage. Veneers: Veneers are primarily intended for cosmetic purposes and cover only the front surface of the teeth, making them excellent for minor concerns, particularly with front teeth. Crowns give complete coverage and are used to restore teeth that have been severely damaged or compromised. They provide strength, durability, and protection. Preparation and procedures: Veneers are less intrusive, with only a small amount of the tooth’s surface removed. Crowns require further tooth shaping to guarantee a correct fit. Advantages and disadvantages of veneers vs crowns Veneers: Pros: Minimal tooth preparation, natural appearance, and low invasiveness. Cons: Not suitable for seriously damaged teeth, may not last as long as crowns, and can be expensive (particularly porcelain veneers). Crowns: Pros: Full protection for broken teeth, highly sturdy, and suitable for functional teeth. Cons: Requires more tooth reduction, is more expensive, and may not appear as natural as veneers. Crowns vs. implants vs. veneers In place of lost teeth, dental implants provide a more long-lasting option. In order to repair a missing tooth root, they entail putting a titanium screw into the mandible. Implants offer a natural-looking replacement and are quite durable, although they are more expensive and invasive. Crowns, Laminates, and Veneers Veneers can be made much thinner than they are with laminate. They might not last as long as porcelain veneers or crowns, but they do require less dental preparation. Eating with Crowns vs. Veneers Veneers: They shouldn’t normally interfere with eating, but handling them carefully will prevent chipping. Crowns: Strong and durable, crowns are designed to endure chewing and biting pressures. Conclusion Your dental condition and aesthetic preferences will influence whether you choose veneers or crowns. Veneers are ideal for cosmetic upgrades, while crowns provide superior protection for damaged teeth. It is critical to examine the expenditures, the preparation required, and the long-term outcomes. Consult your dentist to choose the best option for a healthy, beautiful smile.

BLEEDING GUMS CAUSES &TREATMENT 

/ / Blog, Teeth / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

BLEEDING GUMS CAUSES &TREATMENT  Red, swollen gums which bleed profusely are an indication of a problem either local or systemic. Improper maintenance of oral hygiene can lead to infection and inflammation of the gums. It is common to hear elderly patients complaining of bleeding gums. Because diseases like bacterial endocarditis, pulmonary diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis are associated with gingivitis & periodontitis, it is important to visit the Dentist on an annual basis to nip the problem at its bud. At solitaire Family Dentistry, our Top specialist Dentists are trained to diagnose the problem at the earliest.   Causes of Bleeding gums  Harsh brushing & flossing  Using a hard bristled tooth brush along with brushing towards the gum line can cause damage to the gums with bleeding and recession of the gums overtime. Aggressive flossing between the teeth can cause damage to the interdental papilla, leading to bleeding and recession.  Poor oral hygiene  Bleeding gums is a symptom of gum disease, also known as Gingivitis. Plaque buildup on teeth If not regularly cleaned leads to gum irritation and inflammation. When left unchecked, can progress to severe form of gingivitis, which is Periodontitis. Gingivitis and periodontitis can be avoided and treated.  Hormonal changes During pregnancy, increased levels of estrogen & progesterone make the gums sensitive, and there is gum bleeding. Increased hormonal levels increase the blood flow to the gums. It is a common phenomenon. Along with the hormonal changes, dietary changes inclined towards a carb-rich diet lead to increased plaque buildup, leading to swollen gums.  Nutritional Deficiency Nutritional deficiency, particularly Vitamin C & K, can cause bleeding gums. Vitamin C supports the gums with collagen biosynthesis, whereas Vitamin K helps in Blood clotting. Individuals with Vitamin C deficiency have more severe periodontal disease than individuals with adequate levels in the plasma. Vitamin C along with the collagen biosynthesis, has an antioxidant activity which helps in periodontal healing.  Smoking Smokers have a higher risk of developing vitamin C deficiency. Smoking is a risk factor for periodontal disease. Due to reduced blood supply to the oral tissues in smokers, even though the gums are in poor health, there may be reduced bleeding.  Stress  Chronic stress reduces immunity and enhances inflammation in the body. This can lead to increased blood supply to the gums with impaired healing leading to gum bleeding.  Medication Blood thinners used in cardiac risk patients can lead to gum bleeding, as these medications can interfere with blood clotting. High blood pressure medications, seizure medications, and immunosuppressants can cause gingival inflammation and bleeding.  Immunocompromised  In conditions such as HIV and Cancer, where the immune system is compromised, bleeding gums can be a first indication.   Treatment of Bleeding gums At home, using a soft bristled tooth brush with proper brushing technique should be followed. Flossing must be done very gently between the teeth.  Regular professional dental checkups with cleaning once every 6 months are recommended.  A proper nutritious diet with quitting smoking will improve gum health.  Foods rich in Vitamin C & K must be taken.  Stress control not only improves the overall wellbeing but has a profound effect on oral health as well.  Conclusion  At Solitaire family dentistry, The Best Dental Hospital in Hyderabad, we review each case with the utmost care and provide a customized treatment plan suited to the individual. When the gums bleed daily, it is a cause for concern. Take an appointment with our gum specialist as soon as possible to get to the bottom of the problem.

Winter dental care tips to keep your smile bright As the winter season approaches, it’s essential to pay extra attention to your dental health. The cold weather, holiday treats, and changes in routine can all impact your oral hygiene. Here are some practical tips to keep your smile bright and healthy throughout the winter months. Stay hydrated Dry mouth can result from the intensely dry winter air, both inside and outside. Because saliva helps neutralize acids and wash away food particles, it raises the risk of cavities and gum disease when people have dry mouth. To remain hydrated and sustain saliva production, make sure you consume lots of water throughout the day. Maintain oral hygiene Maintaining your dental hygiene routine is vital, even though the Christmas season’s bustle may throw you off. For plaque removal and caries prevention, floss everyday and brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. For additional security, think about using an antibacterial mouthwash.. Protect your lips Cold, dry air can cause your lips to become chapped and cracked. Keep your lips moisturized by using a lip balm with spf. This not only prevents discomfort but also protects your lips from the sun’s harmful rays, which can still cause damage even in winter. Avoid sugary foods and drinks Tooth decay can be exacerbated by sugar-filled holiday sweets. When you do indulge in sugary meals and beverages, remember to clean your teeth right away. Try to restrict your intake of these items. Snacking on fruits, nuts, and cheese are examples of healthier options. Warm beverages Sipping on warm beverages like tea can be soothing in cold weather. Green and black teas are especially good choices, as they contain polyphenols that help reduce the bacteria in the mouth. Avoid adding sugar to your drinks to protect your teeth from tooth decay. Regular dental check-ups Routine dental checkups are essential for catching potential issues early and getting professional cleanings. Schedule a visit to your dentist. Wear a mouth guard If you participate in winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, or ice skating, protect your teeth from injury by wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards can prevent broken teeth and other oral injuries, ensuring your smile stays intact. Watch for sensitivity Cold weather can increase tooth sensitivity, making it uncomfortable to consume hot or cold foods and drinks. If you notice increased sensitivity, use toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth and avoids foods with extreme temperature foods.
