What is included in therapeutic dentistry services

decay is a dental disease that can develop for many reasons. It is not always the fault of poor hygiene, so it is extremely important to identify it as early as possible to prevent the infection from spreading to the nerve and beyond the tooth. The earliest stage of caries - the spot stage - is often completely reversible, but the experience of doctors shows that such caries is more often detected during a preventive examination, and not by the patient himself.

Non-carious diseases can develop for various reasons: excess fluoride in water, taking various medications, poor diet, bad habits, congenital characteristics of teeth, unfortunate accidents (in case of injuries).

What is therapeutic dentistry?

There are many different areas of dental practice. Therapeutic dentistry is a fundamental area whose objectives are to treat diseases of the teeth and periodontal tissues.

Modern methods of therapeutic treatment in dentistry

Therapeutic treatment in dentistry includes a whole range of procedures, including diagnostics, filling, and removal of dental plaque on the teeth. For any problem, modern dentistry has several solutions.

Diagnostics in therapeutic dentistry

When a simple visual examination of the oral cavity is not enough to accurately make a diagnosis, identify the source of inflammation, or assess the nature of the pathology, the dentist-therapist prescribes hardware dental diagnostics to the patient.

The following types of hardware diagnostics are used in therapeutic dentistry:

  • targeted x-ray – pinpoint identification and confirmation of the problem, monitoring treatment results;
  • orthopantomogram - a panoramic image, effective in studying difficult-to-diagnose cervical caries, with multiple caries, gives an idea of ​​​​the condition of all teeth of both jaws;
  • CT is a method that provides the most detailed display of the condition of the teeth, the structural features of the root canals, the condition of the periodontal tissues, bite, and helps to identify any pathologies of the dental system.

Dental treatment

The most common dental disease that a dentist has to deal with is caries. The cause of caries can be poor hygiene, internal diseases, mineral deficiency in the body and many other factors. The danger of caries is that up to a certain point it develops without obvious symptoms, and it can only be detected during a dental examination, where the doctor uses a special instrument.

Therapeutic dentistry today can offer patients the most effective methods of treating and preventing infection. Traditional treatment of caries is carried out in several stages:

In case of complications (pulpitis), cleaning, sterilization, treatment and sealing of the root canals are also carried out.

In addition to traditional filling, there is also a method of non-invasive treatment of caries at the initial stage (when the infection has affected only the surface enamel layer of the tooth) - ICON. This method is absolutely painless, is successfully used in adult and pediatric dentistry, and allows treatment without damaging healthy tooth tissue.

Gum treatment

Treatment of gums in a therapeutic dentistry office is carried out with a slight development of the inflammatory process and involves the following measures:

  • removal of dental plaque, professional oral hygiene;
  • elimination of factors that create favorable conditions for the development of infection in gingival tissues - treatment of caries, replacement of old restorations;
  • treatment of inflamed tissues with special antibacterial agents (applications, application of medicinal gels);
  • prescribing a course of drug therapy;
  • consultation on home oral hygiene, prevention of gingivitis.

In case of serious damage to the gums (development of periodontitis, formation of periodontal pockets, tooth mobility, etc.), treatment is carried out by specialists from other branches of dentistry - a periodontist, a dental surgeon.

Prevention

The main cause of dental and gum disease in patients is dental plaque and tartar. Therefore, one of the best methods for preventing caries and gingivitis is professional oral hygiene in dentistry.

If there is a high predisposition to the development of caries (weak enamel), before orthodontic treatment, as a preventative measure, the doctor may prescribe the patient enamel remineralization (nutrition with minerals, strengthening of hard tissues, protection from destruction by infection).

Teeth whitening

Professional whitening effectively removes unaesthetic pigments of yellow, gray, brown shades on teeth. Modern technologies make it possible to carry out whitening without pain, without the risk of damaging the enamel.

Do I need to prepare for dental treatment?

In most cases, a visit to the dentist does not require any special preparations. You just need to brush your teeth thoroughly before visiting a doctor. If there are any diseases related to contraindications, allergic reactions to medications, you can get a corresponding certificate from your therapist. If you have already had your teeth treated, but want to continue in another clinic, it is a good idea to have with you information about the procedures performed, x-rays, and the conclusions of the attending physician.

Sometimes going to the dentist is postponed for a long time due to fear. Fear of dental treatment is not uncommon. Experts recommend taking sedatives, such as valerian or motherwort extract, before visiting a doctor.
