Severe gum disease, known as Periodontitis, occurs when gum health is neglected for a long time and the gums develop deep pockets between the tissue and bone, which can eventually lead to tooth loss. A visit to your nearby Dentist In Bangalore will help the cause immensely for a Good Oral Health. 

The deep pockets  are not easily cleansable. Without manually removing the infection, it can actually spread throughout your jaw, eventually making all the teeth loose.

Normally, the periodontist or any dentist in bangalore will do a thorough examination of your gum health using a probe to measure the pockets ,will take necessary X rays to access the severity of the infection. Based on the above examination some patients might be recommended, gum surgery to remove the infection and treat Periodontitis.

Unfortunately, it normally involves a fairly invasive procedure.

In such a case you can opt for LASER disinfection of the pockets.

1. No cutting – laser doesn’t cut into your gums like surgery, which bypasses the need for sutures.  

2. Less discomfort – The procedure is non-invasive it only requires local anaesthesia for numbing the region.

3. Shorter procedure – LASER reduces the time required for complete disinfection.

4. Better results – It is able to reach till the depth of the pockets.

5. Few diet restrictions – Patients feel healthy enough to eat anything immediately after the procedure as there are only a few food restrictions.

6. Short recovery time – Recovery from gum surgery can take between 2-4 weeks, and often includes considerable swelling and pain. Recovery time is less than 24 hours in case of LASER. Patients can even return to work immediately following the procedure.

7. Safe for all patients – LASER is safe for all patients, including those with health concerns such as diabetes, HIV, hemophilia, or those taking medications such as aspirin.

Health Benefits Of Straight Teeth

According to the American Dental Association (ADA) a little known way to reduce your chances of contracting heart disease, diabetes or stroke, having straighter teeth can improve your mind, body and mouth. Having a visit planned to the Best Dentist for Straight teeth helps this cause immensely.

It’s actually not just your teeth, but also what holds them in place: Your gums. When your teeth are crooked, your gums are more susceptible to collecting harmful bacteria, which can lead to health complications.

Increased bacteria is just one of many health issues associated with malaligned  crooked teeth. It also comes with a host of other problems, including weakened enamel, lower self-esteem and other problems that could be alleviated by having your teeth straightened.

WAYS STRAIGHT TEETH MAKE YOU HEALTHIER

1. Makes teeth easier to clean – Crowded teeth are much more difficult to floss, which can lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. The inability to remove all the food caught in the brackets and wires of metal braces can also lead to a similar outcome.

2. Prevents abnormal tooth wear – Crowded bottom teeth often cause one or more teeth to jut out, which rub against the upper teeth. Over time, this leads to an inefficient chewing function and can cause undue wear to tooth enamel.

3. Gives Healthy Gums – When teeth are too widely spaced or crowded, they often become inflamed and red. These characteristics not only look bad, they’re a sign of periodontal disease.

Straightening your teeth helps the gums fit more securely around the teeth, creating the strongest defense against periodontal problems.

4. Decreases your risk of tooth injury – Protruding or crowded teeth , protruding upper teeth are more likely to be broken in the event of an accident.

5. Decreases headaches or neck pain – Crooked teeth place excessive stress on the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. This can also be a sign of a jaw misalignment, which can lead to chronic headaches as well as face or neck pain.

6. Improves self-esteem and happiness – An important component of your overall health is your mental health. Numerous studies have shown that having a better looking smile increases the amount you smile, which in turn leads to various health benefits, including lower stress and improved cognition.

7. Improves overall health – The tooth decay and gum disease associated with crooked teeth are caused by decay. Left untreated, this bacteria can lead to mouth sores, bleeding gums and possible tooth loss.

Fortunately, a solution like Invisalign provides an easy, nearly transparent way to achieve straight teeth. Invisalign Treatment in Bangalore relies on retainer-like transparent aligners to correct your teeth. Every two weeks, you put in a new set of aligners, which continue to shift your teeth incrementally. Patients who choose Invisalign are generally attracted to the fact that it doesn’t rely on bulky metal braces to give you a great smile.

Additionally, Invisalign aligners are easy to remove, so you can brush and floss your teeth without interruption. Cosmetically, this also prevents stains from accumulating on your teeth, as is common with metal braces.

Average cases take between 8-12 months and a year, but differ widely depending on individual case.

To determine if Invisalign is feasible, Invisalign consultation  can be setup with our Best Dentist for Invisible Braces. To know more visit our centre or visit our website www.smylifedental.co.in
