Restorative Dentistry
“Restorative Dentistry” is the term used to describe how to treat damaged teeth. This branch of dentistry includes both aesthetics and functionality of teeth. The treatment of decayed teeth is one of the most common procedures in restorative dentistry. The goal is to restore your natural smile and prevent future dental and oral health problems.
Treating cavities helps prevent plaque formation, makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene habits, and prevents problems that can be caused by microbial dental plaque. It removes bad breath caused by tooth decay. It minimizes the need for root canal treatment, which is more advanced and has a higher risk of complications, with early treatment of progressive caries in the teeth. Thus, a more economical treatment is made.
Decayed teeth can cause you to lose your health, deteriorate your appearance and lose your self-esteem. Therefore, it is necessary to treat your bruises before their problems grow.
Why Is Restorative Dentistry Necessary?
Your teeth provide the first information that people who see you for the first time can comment on or put you in a bucket. That’s why our dear patients, your oral health and dental caries are as important as your hair and clothes. Oral and dental health is an important part of a person’s overall health. It has a huge impact on function and of course aesthetics. Why are these procedures important?
- Nature does not accept emptiness. Therefore, other teeth tend to close the gaps caused by caries by moving into the caries gap. For this reason, the teeth have shifted where they should not be, the aesthetics has deteriorated and chewing has been affected.
- Bacteria form microbial dental plaque instead of tooth tissue that is lost due to caries and facilitates the formation of gum diseases.
- Loss of teeth due to caries can affect aesthetic problems and loss of self-esteem and mood.
Restorative Dentistry recommends treating teeth for the following several reasons.
- Closing the gaps with aesthetic fillings
- Correction of slight crooked teeth with aesthetic fillings
- genetic malformations
- tooth wear
It is important to intervene as soon as possible to avoid unpleasant surprises, oral health problems or even illness.
Tips for Preventive Dentistry
Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day. Make sure the brush touches all three surfaces of your teeth. Brushing only the front teeth and not brushing the back teeth is simply fooling yourself.
If it will motivate you about oral hygiene, you can use electric toothbrushes.
Brushing your teeth cleans 3 surfaces of your teeth. However, the toothbrush cannot clean the surfaces between the contact points of the teeth. In other words, you can clean 60% of your teeth just by brushing your teeth. For the remaining 40%, you need to use dental floss. Make sure to floss around your teeth, implants, crowns and bridges every day.
I would like to answer the question “Which toothpaste should I use” by many of our patients here? Scientific studies have shown that toothpastes of different brands do not have a significant advantage over each other.
You can use an antibacterial mouthwash to help fight plaque and bacteria.
