Oral and dental health problems do not cause symptoms in most cases. Therefore, it is not the right approach to wait for a problem such as pain and swelling to occur and then visit the dentist. It is necessary to visit the dentist for a dental examination at least every six months.

Depending on the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy, pain, swelling and bleeding symptoms in the gums increase.

On the other hand, due to the increase in oral acidity due to increased nausea and vomiting in this process, new caries may occur and the rate of progression of existing caries may increase.

In order to get through this process in the best way, it is important to continue brushing teeth and the use of floss or interface brushes without interruption.

Bruxism is a repetitive jaw muscle activity that is seen as clenching, rubbing of the teeth (grinding) or severe clenching of the jaw. Clenching and grinding the teeth are often seen in people who are anxious or stressed. People who experience stress during the day may unwittingly clench or grind their teeth during sleep at night. They may feel this as pain in their jaw muscles when they wake up in the morning.

During treatment, jaw exercises, wet heat applications and painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants may be recommended according to the patient’s condition.

After the damage to the teeth is treated, a hard night plaque to be used while sleeping at night will gradually solve the existing problems.

Botox treatment applied by special specialists is tried as a temporary solution in patients who cannot use night plaques.

Braces treatments (Orthodontic treatments) have no age. Orthodontic treatment can be applied to all adults.

Today, orthodontic treatments can be performed with transparent plaques. In addition, known types of braces are also available that are aesthetically pleasing. The most appropriate treatment option for the individual is selected by taking the patient’s opinion as a result of the examination.

A number of aesthetic criteria such as lips, gingiva and teeth were evaluated separately and in relation to each other.It is the evaluation of the smile shape, which includes detailed aesthetic analysis.

As a result of the evaluations and analyzes;

• Porcelain crown veneers
• Aesthetic filling procedures
• Porcelain laminated processes
• Whitening

Procedures such as gingival leveling are applied to create an aesthetic smile depending on the necessity and the needs of the person.

It may be necessary to remove a little tooth tissue for the construction of porcelain laminates. Composite laminates can also be applied directly on existing tooth tissue.

Porcelain laminates have a much brighter and not easily colored structure. Composite laminates are colored faster.

Composite laminates are quickly and easily repaired when broken. Porcelain laminates, on the other hand, need to be renewed in case of breakage.

There are three types of whitening: home type, office type and combined whitening techniques.

Office type whitening; It is the whitening process performed with whitening gels applied to the tooth surface of the teeth, accompanied by a beam device used in dental clinics.

Home bleaching; It is a bleaching process that is used for 1-2 weeks with specially made whitening plates and home-type whitening gels.

In combined whitening, these two techniques are applied together.

It is normal to develop sensitivity in the teeth after the whitening process. It disappears completely within a maximum of 1-2 days.

Not every carious tooth gives pain symptoms. Superficial caries do not cause any symptoms in most patients. Deep caries can cause symptoms such as cold sensitivity or tingling. However, most of the time, caries reaches the living tissue of the tooth without any symptoms, and in this case, root canal treatment is required.

Not every tooth with caries causes bad breath. In cases where the caries is large in size, the cavity created by the caries in the tooth causes food accumulation and inability to be cleaned. This causes bad breath and toothache.

Fillings should be checked continuously in routine controls. There is no specific time when they need to be changed.

The determining criteria for changing the filling are;

• Breaking of the filling
• New tooth decay,
• Food stuck between filling and tooth,
• Pain or tenderness.

The existing infection in the tooth can only be cured by root canal treatment. Antibiotics can only be used in case of general swelling and pain to support root canal treatment, only if your doctor recommends it,.

In some teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, darkening of the tooth color can be seen over time. This darkening is usually caused by the filling material used in the canal. This discoloration can be removed with the internal whitening process placed inside the tooth.

Bleeding in the gums is usually a sign of gum disease. Tartars that accumulate on the surface of the teeth and cannot be cleaned cause bleeding in the gums over time.

This disease can be treated by cleaning the calculus and, if necessary, by performing advanced gingival procedures and increasing oral hygiene.

Placing the implant in the jawbone is a one-session procedure. Subsequently, it is expected that the implant will fuse with the bone for 2-3 months, depending on the bone condition. Afterwards, the construction of the prosthesis is started and the prosthesis treatment is completed in about 2 weeks.

It is not correct to apply in uncontrolled systemic diseases (for example, diabetes), in those who use bisphosphonate group drugs due to menopause or bone diseases, and in patients who have recently received radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but it can be applied after taking the necessary precautions. It is not possible for the body to reject the implant, but in rare cases, problems may occur in the implants and may need to be reapplied.

Temporary prostheses are made during the waiting period after the implant application, so there are no aesthetic problems.

If wisdom teeth can find a place in the jawbone and tooth order, they can completely erupt in the mouth. If it does not cause any symptoms and can be cleaned by the patient, it may not need to be removed except for orthodontic reasons.
