Gingival hyperplasia: what to do if the gum has grown?

Gum hyperplasia is a condition in which tissues begin to overgrow. They overhang over the teeth, forming false pockets, cover most of them, preventing hygiene procedures. In the literature there are several terms describing this condition: gingival overgrowth, hypertrophy or hypertrophic gingivitis.

The main danger of tissue overgrowth is that it promotes the multiplication of bacteria, provoking serious diseases such as periodontitis.

Causes of gingival hypertrophy

The main cause of tissue hypertrophy in the mouth is poor hygiene. Food residues, decay products settle on the enamel of the teeth. They accumulate, causing inflammation of the mucosa, one of the manifestations of which is hyperplasia.

Indications for restoration:

Significant destruction of the crown portion; placement of bridges; pathologic erasure of enamel; depulpation; trauma.

Crowns are made of metal, ceramic and metal-ceramic. Porcelain and plastic crowns are practically not used due to fragility. Modern materials are characterized by special strength and wear resistance. T…

White spots on the teeth

A snow-white smile is the dream of many people, but there are times when the whiteness of teeth is not pleasing, but upsetting. This happens when white spots appear on the teeth. The appearance of chalky spots indicates a deficiency of minerals in the surface layer of the tooth (demineralization). Tooth enamel does not regenerate like nails or hair, so its loss can have serious consequences. Gradually, the tooth surface loses its matte shine in the area of the stain and becomes rough. This leads to the rapid growth of colonies of bacteria, which soften the enamel and provoke inflammatory diseases.

Causes of white spots on teeth

Mottled enamel is characteristic of milk and permanent teeth, occurs in children and adults. Provoke demineralization can environmental conditions, improper nutrition and poor oral hygiene. White spots appear at:

Hypoplasia of teeth - inhomogeneous thinning of enamel, as a result of improper formation of hard tissues.

Why do teeth turn yellow? Causes and treatment methods

In our culture, the standard of beauty is a snow-white smile. In fact, healthy, strong teeth are yellowish. The minerals in the hard tissues give them not only their strength, but also their yellowish hue. If pigmentation gets out of control, instead of a healthy shade of enamel, we get completely unattractive yellow teeth. This is not only an aesthetic problem, but also a psychological one. A person with yellow stains on the teeth is embarrassed to smile, prefers not to enter into conversations, becomes withdrawn. Dentists pay a lot of attention to the problem, developing new and new methods of brightening the enamel.

Why teeth turn yellow

It all starts with a small plaque. After eating and drinking, a thin film - pellicle - settles on the enamel. Bacteria begin to multiply on its surface, forming plaque. No brush can remove it completely. A dental plaque is formed, prone to staining under the influence of pigments, drugs, resins.

Хранене с брекети: какво може и какво не може да се яде?

Брекетите са най-ефективният начин за коригиране на захапката. Лечението с брекети е не само работа на лекаря, но и усилия на самия пациент. Необходимо е да се следи за структурата, хигиенните процедури да се извършват редовно и внимателно, а също и да се спазват определени правила за хранене. Но не си мислете, че грисът е всичко, което можете да ядете с брекети. Строги ограничения са необходими само през първите дни. След това списъкът на разрешените продукти се разширява, въпреки че някои забрани остават.

Правилната диета ще помогне за предпазване на структурата от счупване и за поддържане на здравето на устната кухина.

Какво да ядем с брекети на зъбите?

Както вече казахме, много зависи от времето. През първите дни след поставянето и всеки път, когато лекарят стяга арката, ще трябва да се храните само с пюрета: крем супи, кисело мляко, извара, желета и мусове. Такава диета намалява натоварването и улеснява адаптацията.
