Periodontology Treatment
Dental floss is essential for oral health because it cleans areas where your toothbrush
cannot reach—specifically between teeth and under the gumline. Without flossing, plaque
buildup can cause gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.
Tip:
Make flossing a daily habit, especially before bedtime, to remove the day's accumulated
debris and bacteria.
Good for Teeth:
• Dairy products (yogurt, cheese) rich in calcium
• Crunchy vegetables and fruits that stimulate saliva
• Water and green tea, which help cleanse the mouth
Avoid or Limit:
• Sugary snacks and drinks
• Sticky candies
• Acidic foods and drinks like citrus fruits and soda
Balanced nutrition supports not only oral health but also overall well-being.
Proper care after extraction helps prevent complications:
• Keep the gauze pad in place and bite down gently to stop bleeding
• Avoid spitting, rinsing forcefully, or using straws for the first 24 hours• Refrain from smoking as it hinders healing
• Eat soft, cool foods and avoid the extraction site while brushing
Sticking to these precautions promotes healing and prevents conditions like dry socket.
Zirconium crowns are durable, metal-free dental restorations made from zirconia, known
for:
• Exceptional strength and resistance to fractures
• Biocompatibility, reducing the risk of allergic reactions
• Natural-looking aesthetics due to their tooth-like translucency
• Longevity with proper oral care
These crowns are widely used for both front and back teeth, offering a combination of
aesthetics and durability.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is often painless but presents signs such as:
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding when brushing or flossing
• Chronic bad breath
• Receding gums or tooth sensitivityRecognizing these early warnings can prevent progression to more serious conditions like
periodontitis, which may lead to tooth loss.
