Dr. Merike Immato explains
The fear of dentist or of coming to a visit, like any other fear, is stuck in a person’s head, in their thinking. It might be due to a memory of a procedure they once experienced, a pain they once experienced, a fear they once experienced…
Temporary crowns are needed in the treatment when the interval between visits is longer than a day and/or covering the prepared tooth with a temporary filling is not practical or indicated.
In general, temporary dental crowns are suitable for short-term use (not for more than 3-5 months), because the material they are made of is not as strong as the materials used to make the final dental crowns.
Getting used to new dentures can be difficult or even painful at first. Be patient and try to keep the dentures in your mouth despite the discomfort. The mouth will soon adjust to the new situation. For the first two weeks, remove the dentures only to clean them and wear the dentures overnight as well. Later, it is recommended to remove the dentures at night.
At first, you may find it difficult to speak or eat with new dentures. Speech will improve soon, but you can help it by reading aloud in front of the mirror, for example. When eating, prefer softer and not very hot food, and take small bites.
You may experience some weakness for the first few hours after implantation or another surgical procedure. Please avoid exercising and going to the sauna for at least a few days after the procedure to avoid bleeding. Do not touch the wound with your fingers, tongue or any other object. You should also avoid any sucking motion. You should not use any kind of drops, powders or tablets to treat the wound, as they may cause inflammation.
For the first two days after whitening, we advise you to follow these dietary recommendations.
Dental and oral hygiene is a topic that is discussed in dental offices time and time again. Everyone knows about toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss and mouthwash, however, not everyone knows how to use them properly.
Yet GOOD and PROPER oral hygiene is the foundation of a beautiful and healthy smile.
