Very simple: brush softly twice a day and floss
Hi, Generally, very basic line of treatment or the first thing to do in any periodontal disease or condition is oral prophylaxis/ cleaning/ dental scaling. Then the further treatment will be according to the severity or condition of the periodontal disease, which are (in order of less severity to more severity) root planing, deep curettage, flap surgeries with or without bone grafting. Most important thing in periodontal treatment rather in any gums related treatment is maintaining the gum condition after treatment by proper brushing, regular use of antiseptic mouthwash and other things which are specified by dentist after that particular treatment.
No one can tell you without an examination. See your dentist and she will tell you if you need to (1.) see a periodontist (gum doctor), (2.) treat yourself with the general dentist's and/or dental hygienist's help, or (3.) see a medical doctor for a condition that needs medical treatment. A very common disorder of the gums is called gingivitis, which means inflammation of the gums. It is often caused by ineffective dental hygiene practices, but can have other causes. It may require antibiotics for a bacterial infection. Your dentist should be consulted, regardless of what the disease or condition is, for proper diagnosis and treatment or other recommendations. For more information about periodontal (gum) diseases, see the related question section for "What is periodontal gum disease?"
The dentist would inform me that I lost a tooth.
Toothache
Signs of gum disease:Gums that bleed after brushing or flossing.Red and swollen gums.Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth.Loose teeth.Receding gums or wearing away of the teeth.Gums that bleed easilyBecause Gingivitis symptoms are easy to ignore people often do just that. Many gingivitis patients don't even know they have Gingivitis.
A dental hygienist is a licensed oral health prevention specialist. They go to school anywhere from 3-5 years and must earn a minimum of an associate's degree, but many earn their bachelor's or master's degree in dental hygiene. A typical day for a dental hygienist would involve seeing about 8-10 patients. Several of those patients will be coming in for their regular 4 or 6 month cleaning and check-up and the dental hygienist (or RDH) will review their medical history, take necessary x-rays, screen for oral cancer, screen for periodontal disease, screen for decay and dental diseases and then scale and polish the teeth. They will provide you with customized oral health care instructions (such as: "you need to floss more"), often times they will do a professional fluoride treatment and then they will inform the dentist of their findings while the dentist examines your teeth. The RDH also treats early to moderate cases of periodontal disease (gum disease) with non-surgical periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing). In many states the RDH is trained and licensed to give local anesthesia (injections) to make this procedure much more comfortable for the patient. Often times, the RDH is the unofficial "periodontal disease" specialist in each general dental practice. RDHs can also place sealants and in some states with additional education, they can place small fillings. Most dental hygienists are employed by general dentists, cosmetic dentists, pediatric dentists, or periodontists (gum and bone specialists). In some states, with additional education a RDH can own her own practice, or practice in limited access situations independently from the dentist. Plus in some states, RDHs can now be a public health hygienist which involves performing general check-ups, cleanings, fluoride tx, and sealants to underprivileged children in schools and clinics without being in a dentist's practice or working with a dentist. Also nursing homes.
NO NO AND NO!!!!!!!!!
Not legally.
If you do not agree with what your dentist intends to do, you are free to go to a different dentist. Perhaps you need a second opinion.
Kills the pain. You need a shot at the dentist, so it numbs your mouth. Then the dentists can operate without hurting you as much.
It may be surprising to some, but heart disease and bleeding gums are related. If people take such poor care of their teeth that a film of plaque covers them without ever being removed, these people will be more susceptible to heart attacks. Whether people have a current heart condition or not, they need to make sure that they take good care of their teeth to keep their hearts healthy. As people eat foods that contain sugars or starches, the bacteria within these substances release the acids that destroy the tooth's enamel. It remains on the teeth, the gums and dental work in the form of a sticky film that constantly releases bacteria. As time goes on, the bacteria cause the gums to become inflamed and begin to bleed. This condition is called gingivitis. After gingivitis develops, the next step is for periodontal disease to appear. This is when the gums recede leaving the bone vulnerable to being attacked by the bacteria. Periodontal disease is also the condition that can lead to heart disease. The fact that the bacteria have the opportunity to easily enter into the blood stream and travel to the heart is the reason that scientists believe periodontal disease leads to heart disease. It also may be because when the gums are inflamed, the condition can spread to the heart and also cause the heart to become inflamed. Diabetes also plays a role in gum disease and heart disease. Diabetics are more susceptible to contracting gum disease than others, possibly because they contract infections more easily. This raises their risk of heart disease above that of the rest of the population. So, diabetics need to be highly vigilant in caring for their teeth. Because of the link between heart disease and periodontal disease, cardiologists are being taught to ask their patients if they are suffering from gum disease. Similarly, periodontists also have been included in this discussion; they are encouraged to ask their patients with gum disease if they have heart disease in their families or in their own history. Patients who aren't being asked these questions may want to bring it up with their physicians. One way to keep the heart healthy is to make sure to practice good oral hygiene habits. People will want to be sure to brush their teeth regularly if they aren't in the habit of doing already. They may also want to limit how much food they eat that contains sugars and starches. Regular visits to the dentist twice a year for cleanings also will contribute to a healthy mouth and less heart disease.
There is a tree near my house which is causing problems to my house and surrounding. Would like to kill this tree without cutting, i mean to make it dry first and then cutting it.
