How Laser Eases Your Dental Woes
Rarely are people thrilled at the thought of visiting their dentists. Perhaps the rationale may be founded or unfounded, but the fact is that these dentists have taken their piece of grief from patients who could have avoided dental woes if only they listened to the dentists. Technology keeps entering the dental field in the past several years, and so words like whisper jet micro air abrasion, drill free and the most popular one, pain free have arisen and this is wonderful.
The greatest new dental instrument is the laser. He gets to easily break in the gum pockets with the laser and this leads to the elimination of unhygienic linings within the gums. Bacteria in the infected pockets can be killed with this laser. Simply put, combined with the normal root scaling method, the patients heal faster and feel less pain. It also means that a patient's dental status can be maintained for longer periods of time.
The apparatus called the wand is a computer controlled anesthesia system that calls for the use of a very small needle plus a topical anesthetic so that the mouth is made numb. The amount of anesthesia and the speed at which it is administered is controlled by the computer. All thanks to the micro air abrasion system, many doctors can get rid of beginning decay with no shots, no drills, and fillings that are about one fourth the size of traditional fillings in the mouth.
Also with this laser, the dentist speeds up filling material to about 5 seconds against the time that it takes for it to cure on its own without any help which is about forty or more seconds. Plus, teeth whitening no longer entails so many taxing sessions as this can be done once only. Such a technology enables patients to get the most from the dental check ups apart from aiding dentists in caring for their patient's teeth.
A computer, called a CAESY, which stands for Clinically Advanced Education System, is used to call up specific procedures for each patient. It is good to note that the CDR is able to record the entire dental history of a patient and be placed in a computer easily and this is also hooked up to the many other computers in the area. The patient's photograph, dental notes, restorative chart and X rays, taken without film are all contained in this information.
As compared to the older X rays, film less X rays are able to protect patients from getting exposed to harmful radiation by ninety percent. Thanks to the intraoral camera, dentists now take detailed close up photos of the teeth of the people who come to them. All thanks to the dentists showing their patients the enlarged photos of their teeth, they can effortlessly point out to them where the accurate areas of decay are found. Good dental hygiene goes farther than just a pretty smile and dentists and hygienists point out the magnitude of brushing and flossing to state this.
In recent studies, periodontitis or gum disease and cardiovascular disease have been linked. Studies on this started about a decade ago or so but the results are only being discussed today and in fine detail too. What we have as of late, discovered that there is truly a change in the model where gum disease may have a profound force on a lot of systemic conditions and problems, particularly those that are multifactorial persistent conditions just like diabetes, heart disease, preterm pregnancy and others. This is a major change in our understanding of how oral disease interacts with systemic health.
For people who need the usual fillings, root canals or crowns, the new dental materials can be able to attract many people. Talking about the aesthetic value, several new advances like porcelain crowns have been made in dentistry that give patients the tooth and gum care they need, without the unprepossessing metal take that often come with it. And while many of the advances being made have to do with the way the finished product looks, the underlying theme remains the same, making each procedure as effective and pain free as possible. Because of the technology, we can provide pain free dentistry, it is here, and it's here now.
