Benefits of Dental Microsurgery

Posted on 9/11/2023 by Water's Edge Dental
Dental microsurgery is a very advanced technique that uses surgical microscopes and small, precise tools to do non-invasive treatments in the mouth. Let us look at some of the best things about oral microsurgery: Improved Precision When dentists use a medical microscope, they can see even the smallest features with unmatched clarity. This lets them handle complicated procedures like root canal therapy, periodontal surgery, and the placing of dental implants. The success rates of these treatments go up significantly, which helps the patients in the long run. Least Intrusive The cuts are much more minor in dental microsurgery than in traditional surgery. This means there is less tissue damage, and the result is highly durable. This also means there will be less pain, swelling, and soreness after surgery, which will help the body heal faster. With these minor cuts, the chance of getting sick is lower, for you do not need many stitches. Better Results Using high magnification and good lighting, dental microsurgery gives a clear picture of the area being worked on. Dentists can find hidden parts of the mouth, cracks that are hard to find, and canals that are hard to see. This all-around method gives people the most complete care possible. It removes the right amount of diseased tissue and improves the overall results. Healing More Quickly Since oral microsurgery is only a bit invasive, it helps people heal and get better faster. Patients can return to their everyday lives more quickly, which is a massive help for busy people. Contact Us Feel free to contact us whenever convenient; our friendly staff will gladly help. We are here to help you with anything related to dental microsurgery, whether you need more information, want to set up an appointment, or have questions about any part.

Dangers of Living with Teeth Malocclusions

Posted on 8/21/2023 by Water's Edge Dental
Teeth malocclusions can affect one's self-confidence and image. In fact, many people believe that a crooked smile can affect their career goals. In addition to aesthetic concerns, malocclusions can impact your oral health. The jaws and teeth work together to allow you to speak and eat comfortably. If they do not align, they can cause oral health issues such as: Tooth Decay and Gum Disease Crowded teeth and space between them create extra nooks and corners, making it difficult to clean the teeth. This allows bacteria to thrive and build up in the spaces, making you vulnerable to gum disease and tooth decay. If left untreated, these oral conditions can harm your oral health. For instance, untreated tooth decay leads to infections and tooth loss. The infections spread to various areas in the mouth, including the gums. Over time, gums and bone may deteriorate, exposing the tooth roots. At this point, you will likely experience sensitivity, pain, and tooth abscess that can lead to tooth loss. Bruxism Teeth misalignments prevent the jaws from functioning properly. This puts more pressure on the muscles and joints of the jaws, increasing the likelihood of teeth grinding and clenching. In most cases, bruxism is an unconscious habit. Hence, you may not realize that you are grinding your teeth. Despite this, this habit can affect your oral health. It can lead to broken or cracked teeth, and if left untreated, it can result in tooth decay, gum recession, bone deterioration, and tooth loosening. Bad Breath As you know, teeth malocclusions can make it challenging to maintain good oral hygiene. This increases the chances of plaque building up between the teeth and along the gum line. If left untreated, bacteria in the plaque will produce toxins that cause bad breath. Schedule a consultation with our dentists today and learn more about different types of teeth malocclusions and how to fix them....

Are Dental Fillings Good For Kids?

Posted on 8/7/2023 by Water's Edge Dental
Many people assume that dental problems with kids are not a big concern because their teeth will eventually fall off. Unfortunately, this is not true. You should ensure good oral care for your kid to prevent severe oral issues. For instance, you should treat your child's cavities just as you could with permanent teeth. A good way to address cavities in kids is through dental fillings. Dental fillings involve removing the decayed part of the teeth and replacing it with tooth-colored materials to prevent further damage. Learn why dental fillings are necessary for your kid's oral health: Untreated Cavities Can Cause Toothache Cavities are minor holes in the tooth. If left untreated, they can extend to the nerve tissues, causing unbearable pain. In severe cases, your child may experience extreme sensitivity when they consume something hot or cold. The good thing is that a dentist can fill the small openings with dental fillings to alleviate the pain and prevent nerve tissue exposure. Prevents Infection Untreated cavities can get larger and affect the deepest layers of the teeth, leading to infection. When the infection reaches the tooth's root, it can cause swelling and inflammation, and your child will likely experience tooth loss. The infection can also spread to the gums, neck, and other body parts. At this point, a pediatric dentist can recommend a root canal to remove the damaged part. They may also suggest a temporary filling to allow the gums to heal and the nerves to calm down. After some time, the dentist will replace the temporary fillings with permanent ones to strengthen the tooth's structures. Do you want to enhance the smile of your child? Dental fillings are great options for children of all ages. Contact us online or visit our office for more information about dental fillings....
