For dental implants to be successful, periodontal

A while ago, I introduced to you the dental implant evaluation at "Modern Dental Clinic".
What finally made me make up my mind was the painless Shumian Dental Implant.

But that’s not what I’m sharing with you today, because dental implants don’t mean you can get them immediately.
Based on my personal situation, I need to deal with periodontal disease, which is known as the "national disease", before I can actually start dental implants.
Otherwise, spending money on dental implants will not only provide poor results, but may even cause tooth loss in serious cases....it will all be a waste of money!

Periodontal disease is called a national disease for its own reason. The main reason is that the initial symptoms are not obvious and there is no pain.
Many people misinterpret the symptoms of periodontal disease as excessive anger, lack of vitamins, lack of sleep, etc.
Even if they knew it was periodontal disease, they would think it was a trivial matter and not take it seriously... These are actually quite misconceptions!
Some people may ask, what will happen to periodontal disease...?

I used to really feel that nothing would happen, and that after a while I would just go get my teeth cleaned.
But in fact, this concept is completely wrong. The biggest problem with periodontal disease is that it destroys the health of the gums (alveolar bones).
This leads to bone loss, tooth loss of support, weak bite, and even tooth loss.
To put it more plainly, if the gums are not strong enough, how can we get dental implants? Where to plant?

Whether it is preventing or treating periodontal disease, self-cleaning and brushing your teeth is actually a very important part.
If you can't brush your teeth well, no matter how hard the dentist tries, the treatment will only be half the result with half the effort.
Therefore, "Modern Dental Clinic" first gave me a set of personal toothbrushes, (of course they are exclusive, who dares to share these things XD
This set of special toothbrushes will have your name written on it and will be placed in the "Modern Dental Clinic". On the day of the consultation, a dedicated staff will place the toothbrushes in the "Today's Toothbrush" next to the brushing area.
Every time you have to brush your teeth before coming to see a doctor, you don’t have to bring your own toothbrush. It’s very convenient and hygienic!

Next, let’s learn the correct way to brush your teeth. The way to brush your teeth is difficult to express clearly in words.
But the simplest principle concept is to place the bristles at the point where the teeth and gums meet when brushing your teeth. The proper name is called "gingival sulcus".
This can remove plaque and food residue, strengthen cleaning between teeth that are not easily accessible with brushes, and avoid the chance of periodontal disease.
The correct way to say this is called the "Bello brushing method", which is said to be very effective in preventing and improving periodontal disease.

Brushing your teeth is very simple in theory, but in fact it is not simple at all to actually brush your teeth.
Especially when I first learned to brush my teeth properly, I often thought I had brushed them clean, but in fact that was not the case at all. (Otherwise, you wouldn’t have periodontal disease.
In fact, the most critical point of brushing your teeth to prevent and treat periodontal disease is to remove plaque in the mouth. The brushing area of ​​"Modern Dental Clinic" provides a super easy-to-use plaque revealing agent

To put it simply, it uses a dye that is harmless to the human body to dye the dental plaque. As long as you see the color of the plaque revealing agent remaining in every corner of your mouth,
It means that the area has not been brushed clean. This is not only very helpful for beginners of brushing teeth, but also very useful for children.
In addition, it can also be combined with dental floss and interdental brushes. The decision mainly depends on the gap between each person's teeth.
I already suffer from periodontal disease and have large gaps between my teeth. At this time, the interdental brush is a very useful cleaning tool!

In addition to cleaning and brushing your teeth on your own, of course you still need to see a periodontist to treat periodontal disease.
Use periodontal instruments to penetrate deep into the bottom of the gingival sulcus to clean plaque and calculus on the surface and depth of the teeth.

"Modern Dental Clinic" will simply divide the inside of the mouth into four areas during treatment: upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right.
Each consultation is carried out in a single area, and then other areas are strengthened and cleaned.
The biggest advantage of this is that each treatment lasts shorter and the sensitivity and discomfort after treatment are lower.
Because when treating periodontal disease, anesthesia will be used, and the surface anesthetic will be applied first, and then an anesthetic injection will be given.
Even anesthesia is almost painless, which is really important for people like me who are afraid of pain! ! !

Because anesthesia has been given, if there are residual roots in the mouth, they can be removed during periodontal treatment.
During the first treatment, the nurse asked me if I was mentally prepared to have my teeth extracted later?
joke! ! There will never be a day in this life when I am mentally prepared to have my teeth pulled out!

But to be honest, I barely noticed the root extraction during periodontal treatment.
When Dr. Liang Jiayuan told me that the tooth extraction had been completed today, I really felt like "Huh!? It's done? That's it!"
After the two stumps + wisdom teeth, I was able to face it with ease and no pressure~~

I just saw a hot discussion on PTT a few days ago, about the white ball inserted after wisdom teeth are removed.
From the discussions among the villagers, we also know that it is collagen, but in fact this is a more traditional method.
"Modern Dental Clinic" has introduced the latest platelet-rich fibrin (PRF, platelet-rich plasma),

Before tooth extraction, blood is first drawn, and the blood in a test tube with a special centrifuge is separated into three layers. The middle layer is the PRF clot. This clot is then stuffed into the wound after tooth extraction.
In fact, the principle is very simple, because everyone who has read health education knows that platelets have the functions of coagulation and hemostasis, and also play an important role in tissue repair and regeneration.And the key point is that because it is extracted and separated from your own body, you don’t have to worry about rejection or side effects, and it is relatively safer.

I used PRF when removing 2 consecutive residual roots and wisdom teeth. Coupled with laser deep sterilization,
In the past, I heard from many friends that the pain after wisdom tooth extraction lasted for several days and was so painful that I couldn't sleep. It turned out that I didn't have this problem at all.
Except for not being able to eat the night after the tooth was extracted, I slept completely normally that night and ate completely normally the next day. I only avoided some hard and fried foods. There was almost no obvious discomfort XD

After periodontal treatment and tooth root extraction, the nursing staff will as usual remind and explain the precautions after tooth extraction.
Don’t worry about forgetting, because it also comes with a paper instruction. Just follow it when you go home. In fact, tooth extraction is not that scary!
 

"Modern Dental Clinic" treats periodontal disease by using special periodontal instruments to clean the tartar attached to the roots of the teeth.
Then use "laser treatment" for deeper disinfection and sterilization, and finally put periodontal ointment into the periodontal pocket for wound protection and sterilization.
Let me tell you secretly, the periodontal disease treatment under the health insurance plan does not include laser or ointment, it only involves removing dental calculus...

postscript:
In the past, I had the most misconception that periodontal disease treatment was not urgent.
Of course, after periodontal disease is treated, the periodontal tissue can indeed be restored to health.
But the key is that the destruction of soft and hard tissues is irreversible. To put it more bluntly, the sooner periodontal disease is treated, the less permanent damage to health caused by periodontal disease.
And the important point is that after periodontal disease treatment, you must brush your teeth thoroughly, and the doctor will arrange regular follow-up visits and maintenance for one to six months depending on the situation.
As for tooth sensitivity after dental cleaning, it is quite normal.You must not avoid treatment because you think it is very harmful to your teeth. The longer you delay, the more you will regret it later!
