Therapeutic dentistry treats teeth with such diagnoses as:

In dentistry, the first doctor who treats and prevents diseases is the dentist-therapist. It is this doctor who helps keep the patient’s teeth healthy for a long time.

Therapeutic dentistry is aimed at preventing, predicting the development of diseases and, in fact, treating pathologies of the oral cavity: gums, oral mucosa and teeth.

TREATMENT OF CARIES

Caries is a well-known common dental disease in children and adults. When caries occurs, hard dental tissues are affected, enamel and dentin (hard tooth tissue) are destroyed.

Caries occurs when proper oral hygiene is not maintained, teeth are damaged, poor diet, weakened immune system and harmful environmental conditions.

It is very important to begin proper treatment of caries and prevent complete tooth decay.

In our clinic we can treat caries at any stage : from the spot stage to deep caries. Caries is treated quickly enough, usually in 2 visits. At the appointment, dentists carefully examine the oral cavity and take into account all factors when treating teeth: age, stage of caries development, individual contraindications and drug intolerance, etc.

Prevention of caries:

Dental and oral care plays a special role in caries prevention. It is important to brush your teeth 2 times a day - morning and evening and have preventive examinations at the dentist 2 times a year. By doing this, you will prevent the development of many dental diseases, not just caries. And at the appointment, our dentists will definitely tell and show children and adults about the rules of caring for teeth and the oral cavity.

Features of therapeutic treatment

Long gone is the irritating vibration of drills, which caused pain and discomfort to patients. Medicines that cannot relieve pain have been forgotten. Our modern equipment ensures that any manipulation is carried out as quickly as possible, and perfect anesthesia will make any process painless for the patient.

It was the fear of pain and inconvenience that led to rare visits to the dentist's office, which is fundamentally wrong. Identifying foci of diseases at the stage of their occurrence simplifies the fight against them and allows you to maintain health for as long as possible. In this regard, the specialists of our department of therapeutic dentistry remind you of the importance of oral hygiene and periodic examinations with a doctor.

INSTALLING A FILLING ON A TOOTH

When caries affects a tooth, it loses its original appearance and cannot perform its main function - to grind (chew) food. Then it is necessary to cure caries and install a filling.

The filling fills the cavity in the tooth that was formed during the treatment of caries; it can also serve in the treatment of dental canals and in the restoration of teeth.

There are two types of fillings: temporary and permanent. Temporary fillings are installed for a limited time, and permanent fillings are installed for a long time.

Our clinic uses fillings made from modern high-quality materials; we install fillings on the teeth of adults and children. And if the filling needs to be placed in a visible place (for example, on the outside of a tooth), then specialists will select the required color, which will not differ from the natural one.

Don't be afraid to go to the dentist! Having filled a small hole, the tooth will serve you for a long time.

What does therapeutic dentistry do?

Therapeutic dentistry protects and preserves healthy teeth, and also eliminates existing caries. Its tasks include:

• treatment of caries and other dental lesions;
• treatment of acute and chronic periodontitis;
• treatment of acute and chronic pulpitis;
• treatment of wedge-shaped defect;
• canal retreatment;
• installation/removal of dental jewelry;
• treatment of cervical caries;
• restoration of damaged teeth.

TEETH CLEANING

Another necessary and important procedure for caring for your teeth and oral cavity is professional teeth cleaning. It removes all types of plaque and protects the enamel from bacteria and caries for a long time.

Brushing your teeth prevents diseases such as caries, darkening or yellowing of enamel, unpleasant odor, premature tooth loss, etc.

The procedure for brushing your teeth is a painless and fairly quick process. It takes no more than an hour.

Stages of professional teeth cleaning:

1. Removal of dental stones. Tartars are brown or brown-colored deposits on the surface of the teeth. They have an adverse effect on the gums, which can result in an inflammatory process.
2. Removing dental plaque that has formed under the influence of food debris and microorganisms. If it is not removed, the risk of caries increases.
3. Polishing.

In our clinic, dentists perform laser cleaning using specialized modern equipment. Laser teeth cleaning is absolutely safe and very effective. During the process, the laser only affects tartar and plaque. Even children can undergo laser teeth cleaning.

To prevent dental disease, professional cleaning should be carried out 2 times a year. But if you have problems with your gums or teeth, do it more often (on the recommendation of your dentist).

FAQ

What is therapeutic dentistry?

This is a branch of dentistry that deals with the study, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the teeth, tissues surrounding the tooth, and the oral mucosa.

Which doctor treats caries?

The dentist-therapist deals with the treatment of caries, as well as the treatment of non-carious lesions of teeth.

What does a dental therapist treat?

A dentist treats caries, gingivitis, non-carious damage to teeth, fills teeth, restores teeth after injury (chips, fractures), corrects cosmetic defects using direct restoration, treats diseases of the gums and mucous membranes, gives recommendations on the prevention of dental diseases and proper hygiene.

FLUORIDATION OF TEETH

Fluoridation of teeth helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect them from caries. During this procedure, a special preparation seals microcracks in the enamel. Therefore, before fluoridation, it is imperative to cure caries and carry out professional teeth cleaning, otherwise the procedure will be useless.

Teeth fluoridation is especially often performed on children to prevent caries. This procedure can be carried out from one and a half years.

The materials used in our clinic for fluoridation of teeth for adults and children are harmless and safe. As is the procedure itself. In addition, it requires minimal time investment.

What diagnostics does the dentist perform?

At the initial consultation, the doctor interviews the patient and clarifies complaints. Then he begins the inspection. If necessary, the dentist performs percussion (gently tapping the enamel) and a cold test (applies ice to the tooth). All these actions allow the doctor to make a preliminary diagnosis.

The dentist-therapist prescribes additional diagnostics:

1. sight shot;
2. computed tomography.

Based on the results of additional diagnostics and examination data, a final diagnosis is made and treatment is prescribed.

TEETH WHITENING

Everyone wants to have a beautiful snow-white smile. After all, among other things, it makes a person more confident in himself. Modern teeth whitening techniques can make your smile more attractive.

An important factor in whitening is the reason for the change in teeth color; the result of the procedure depends on this. If the darkening is associated with surface staining (coffee, smoking, drinking coloring drinks, etc.), then the teeth whiten well. But if these are congenital coloring disorders, then the procedure may become a little more complicated.

The reasons for the color change may be:

• accumulation of dental plaque;

• age-related changes;

• exposure to internal pathological factors;

• local effect in the oral cavity.

Dentist therapist and microscope

A microscope is required during root canal treatment. Due to their complex anatomical structure, it is not always possible to properly treat a tooth. In this case, the doctor uses a special optical device - a dental microscope.

Indications for treatment under a microscope:

1. Root canal retreatment.
2. Presence of tool fragments in the channel.
3. Narrow/curved canals.
4. The presence of perforations (holes) in the canal wall.
5. Removing fiberglass, metal pins, inlays.
6. The canals are too wide and cannot be filled using conventional filling techniques.

Before treatment, the anatomy of the tooth can be seen using the results of a computed tomography scan - this is a 3D diagnostic of the oral cavity. It allows you to examine the tooth from all sides, see the features of the anatomical structure of the canals, their number and plan treatment.

Dentistry in Cheboksary

In our clinic, dentists use the most modern teeth whitening method “Zoom 4”, which is gentle and the patient does not feel pain. At the same time, the enamel becomes whiter by 6-8 tones, and the effect lasts for 5 years (subject to all care requirements).

To avoid problems with teeth and oral cavity, it is enough to follow one rule - visit the dentist on time. And for preventive purposes, you need to visit the dentist’s office 2 times a year.

Treatment of anterior teeth

It is the front teeth that are involved in creating a smile. By their appearance, one can draw conclusions about a person’s health, lifestyle and well-being. Their absence, yellowness and other defects create an unpleasant first impression and can even be the reason for failure when applying for a job. Don't hesitate to treat your front teeth! Come to any of our clinics, and specialists will do everything so that you can smile again. If the cause of the defect is caries, the color of the filling will be carefully selected, and if necessary, artistic restoration will be performed. If the front teeth are incorrectly positioned or gaps have formed between them, the orthodontist at the Dental Guru clinic will solve this problem. Even if you have lost a front tooth as a result of injury or illness, you can have an implant done in one day and restore your smile line.

But it’s still scary and you’re wondering, is it possible to do dental treatment under anesthesia? In dentistry, sedation is used instead of general anesthesia. A specially selected set of drugs provides the patient with a light and relaxed state of euphoria, in which all reflexes are preserved and the patient can follow the doctor’s commands - open his mouth, turn his head. Dental treatment under sedation is emotionally perceived in a completely different way, without fear, positively. It can be compared to dental treatment in a dream. Dental treatment under general anesthesia is also possible, but is used quite rarely.

Dental treatment methods

Most often, toothache is caused by caries, which destroys the hard tissues of the tooth. Its cause is bacteria that have multiplied in dental plaque. Treatment of dental caries is carried out in two stages: first, the doctor cleans the carious cavity using a bur, and then puts a filling. Is it possible to cure a tooth without drilling? Yes, if the caries is superficial, at the spot stage. Then the treatment of the tooth defect is performed using ICON technology. Icon is also used to remove dark spots after wearing braces. Anesthesia is not required.

Treatment of caries without drilling - ICON technique.

The infection can cause inflammation of the soft tissues of the dental cavity, that is, the pulp or dental nerve. And this is pain and increased sensitivity to cold and hot. The nerve nourishes the tooth and ensures its vital functions. In case of tooth pulpitis, treatment must be started immediately; delay threatens the removal of the nerve or the development of periodontitis (inflammation of the tooth root), which, in turn, leads to the removal of the entire tooth. When bacteria multiply in the nerve, pus enters not only the gums, but also the tissues of the cheeks, lips, and infraorbital region, provoking the development of gumboil. Treatment of the tooth nerve when it is inflamed is necessary.

Tooth root inflammation begins with severe pain for no obvious reason. The sensitivity of the enamel increases, and the state of health sharply worsens. If treatment is started at this stage, the prognosis is favorable. If you don't see a dentist right away, the process will get worse. The gums swell, purulent cysts form, the pain does not go away even under the influence of painkillers. The patient’s health worsens, the patient feels pain, the temperature rises, weakness appears, appetite and ability to work decrease, and insomnia sets in.

Then the symptoms subside. But this is a bad sign, which indicates that the disease has become chronic. At this stage, bone tissue is already destroyed, fistulas, abscesses appear and, as a result, constant bad breath. Tooth root treatment consists of several stages. The canals are cleaned with a drill, an antiseptic medicine is placed in them, and the tooth is closed with a temporary filling. After 2-3 days of taking the antibiotic, at a second dentist appointment, the canals are washed again and another temporary filling is placed. After 2-3 months, the doctor conducts an X-ray diagnosis and, if there is no inflammation, removes the temporary filling, cleans the canals and places a permanent one. If dental periodontitis has developed, treatment is necessary.
