Root Canal Therapy: Some Points and Procedure

If you are going to look at the statistics, then root canal treatment is one of the most widely recognized dental problems. Many people are very much scared when they hear that their tooth needs a root canal and they try to avoid it. Every tooth has a root canal system and an infection in it creates trouble. The infection might be caused by a bacteria or a bad oral care. Contrary to popular belief, the root canal treatment is less painful and there are many dentists Edmonton who will ease you off with many of the problems.

1. Structure of the tooth

Every tooth in the mouth has a structure that comprises of two main parts – Crown and the root. The crown is the visible part that we are able to see and the root is generally hidden beneath the gums. The main components of teeth are:

• Enamel – It is the hard outer coating of every tooth.
• Dentine – It’s the softer material that supports the enamel.
• Cementum – It’s a hard material that acts as a coating on the tooth.
• Dental Pulp – It’s a soft tissue that is found at the centre of the tooth.

2. Infection in the tooth

Every tooth has a pulp in the centre that has blood vessels and soft tissues. It is generally this part that gets affected with bacteria and infection and the tooth gets painful. When bacteria multiply, they reach at the centre and attack the blood vessels and this result in swollen gums and face.

3. Treatment

In root canal treatment, the bacteria are removed from the centre of the tooth to ease of the discomfort the patient is facing. The treatment is done in two ways – The first method is where the affected tooth is removed from the gum if the condition of the tooth is too bad and is beyond repair, and the second method is root canal treatment. After the bacteria are removed from the centre of the tooth, it is filled with a filling or a crown is put into place. Root canal treatment can be painful for some people and make sure that you are getting it done with one of the good dentists Edmonton.

4. Taking right care after the treatment

Once the root canal treatment is done, you need to make sure that you are taking the right care of gums and teeth. It will help your tooth to recover in right way and will ensure that it stays healthy for long time. Avoid biting too hard on the food and use the separate side of the mouth where the treatment has been done. Always maintain good oral hygiene and take all the necessary help from the dentists Edmonton who will be able to guide you in proper manner. If you are too much into smoking and drinking, then you also have to avoid it till your tooth recovers completely.

The Top Five Ways To Avoid Dental Emergencies

Dental Emergencies
You have a perfectly healthy set of teeth, because you don't feel any discomfort or see anything wrong or unusual with your teeth, right? Wrong! Well, when it comes to teeth, then the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't really proves a good idea. Most people really can't tell if there is something wrong with their teeth, unless they visit a dentist or problem aggravates.

Have a look at these interesting dental facts:

Gum disease or periodontal disease is the main reason of tooth loss all across the globe. This is basically a condition in which you lose the bone that surrounds your teeth, so that even healthy teeth may come out.

A huge number of people who get diagnosed with cavities didn't even know in first place that they have had a cavity.

A large number of patients who grind or clench their teeth, experience issues like cracked teeth, chipped or worn-out teeth.

These things can be really confusing and that is likely why at some point many people find themselves meeting a dental emergency. Some emergencies are due to accidents. But, most of the dental emergencies are caused due to negligence. So here are a few simple ways on how to avoid dental emergency.

  1. If you clench or grind your teeth, wear a custom night guard. This habit of clenching or grinding teeth is termed as Bruxism. And recently it has been observed that it is increasing among individuals. Undoubtedly, stress plays a crucial role in this, but if you are diagnosed with bruxism don't take it lightly because its effects can be really harmful.
  2. Never skip brushing and flossing your teeth. There is just no alternate for prevention. Brushing and flossing your teeth at least two times in a day or after every meal, proves to be really helpful in protecting you from oral diseases, including bad breath and yellow teeth.
  3. Visit your dentist regularly. This will help you ensure that your teeth stay healthy and beautiful for long, as well as prevent any major expensive treatments or surgeries. Dentists use advanced gears and tools to check your mouth for cavities or any gum disease.
  4. If you are a sportsperson, always use an athletic mouth guard. Sports are not only fun but they are also a great exercise. But, they can also cause teeth to get knocked out, kicked out or punched out. Use only a professionally built mouth guard.
  5. Never use your teeth to open bottles or cans. No matter what, don't do it. We have restored innumerable teeth after people tried to hold or open objects with their teeth. Use a plier or a scissor or a bottle opener to carry out the job. Remember teeth are for chewing food.
Still, if you find yourself in any dental emergency, look no further than http://www.edmontonemergencydentist.com/

Causes of Tooth Sensitivity

Tooth Sensitivity
Often times when we eat something cold or hot, we feel a strong sensation at the deep of our tooth. This is called tooth sensitivity. You can feel the same while sipping a cold drink or while having a tea. Many people experience the same feeling when they brush or floss their teeth. There are some tips that you can use to lower the sensitivity at the tooth. Prolonged sensitivity that is not reported to the dentist may lead to damaged tooth. According to Dr. Ronda, dentist Downtown Edmonton, the sensitivity can be minimized by using some of the techniques and can save your trip to the Dental clinic facilities. Here are some tips.

  • Use The Right Brush And Technique
Many people have misconception that if they are going to use hard brush for brushing, then it will clean their teeth in a much effective manner. Contrary to popular belief, using the hard brush can damage your gums and may wear down the protective layers of the teeth. There are many microscopic canals and hollow tubes that run along the nerves of the teeth and you need to be careful with the way you brush your teeth. When the tubules of the teeth are exposed, they cause sensitivity in the tooth. Always use a soft bristle brush and brush in a gentle strokes and manner. You can get the techniques of brushing at the good Dental clinic facilities where the dentist will guide you towards the right way of brushing.

  • Avoid Acidic Foods
Lower down the intake of the acidic foods like Sauce, lemon, kiwis, grapefruit and pickles. They result in sensitivity and will cause you more pain. Stick to the foods that have lower acidic content.

  • Don't Grind The Teeth
Many people have a habit of grinding their teeth while talking or while eating the food. Grinding the teeth will cause damage to the enamel and will eventually expose the dentin that is the middle layer of the tooth. The middle layer consists of the tubes that lead to the nerves of the teeth. When they are exposed, you feel sensitivity when you eat anything. Take the help of the dentist to get a mouth guard that will prevent you to grind your teeth. The guard can be custom made to fit your mouth perfectly.

  • Don't Use Tooth Whitening Products
Many tooth whitening products that are available in the market use chemicals to bleach the teeth. Most people have more sensitive teeth and using these products will make the teeth more prone to damage.

  • Stay Away From Using Too Much Mouthwash
Just like the whitening products, the mouthwash and rinses that are available in the market have alcohol content and other chemical compositions that harm the teeth in the prolonged usage. If you are using mouthwash more than necessary, then it will make your teeth more sensitive. Try fluoride rinses and stick to brushing and flossing to have fresh breath.

Injuries that need emergency dental services

Whenever you experience severe trauma to your mouth or teeth, you should look for emergency dental services right away. In case, you overlook the signals that something might be wrong and you simply take pain killers to stop the pain and discomfort, you must know that you are increasing the risks of having permanent and severe dental problems. In addition, you should keep in mind that if you don't treat your dental problems on time, that will lead to severe problems, which will require more extensive and expensive treatments.

Severe tooth pain is one the most common dental problems. If the pain associated with swollen gums then it is most likely that you have an infection. The tooth aches are generally caused due to dental caries, which is a bacterial disease that leads to demineralization of the tooth. In this problem the pain will not go away just by pain killers, the relief is only possible when the pus is drained, by opening the tooth canal. Thus it is important to visit dentist immediately. In addition, jaw pain, tooth aches or experiencing pain while chewing are also considered emergencies.

Chipped, knocked or broken teeth are a few more emergency dental problems that need treatment immediately. If you have a broken tooth, then it is very essential that you save as much of it as possible. As, this dental problem is generally accompanied by bleeding, visiting a dentist immediately is a must. If the tooth is fully knocked out, do not throw it away, but instead wash it under water, without removing any tissue from it. As it will be difficult to place it back in by yourself, you will have to see a professional ASAP, in order to increase your chances of reattaching it.

As per emergency dentistry magazines, it the tooth is put back in its socket within an hour, it has the huge possibility of being saved. However, these are the most common emergency dental issues that will need the immediate help of a dentist; broken braces wires, lost crowns, dislodged teeth etc. also fall under the category of dental emergencies.

Dental Emergencies: How To Deal With Them

DENTAL EMERGENCIES: Dental clinic in Edmonton
Many dental problems develop overtime without giving you any symptoms apart from the cavities and plaque. You may suddenly experience pain and sensitivity at the teeth and then may need an emergency dentist care. Dental emergencies can be dealt with at home if you know how to take care of certain things. Here are the few problems that can take severe turn if neglected at early stages.
  • Cracked and broken tooth
If you notice a cracked tooth, then it's the time to call up your dentist and fix an appointment. Getting help from the best dentist clinic is always recommended at such cases.
  • Braces
If you have braces or if you need one then you need to consult an orthodontist. Damaged braces needs to be corrected on immediate basis otherwise they can damage the teeth permanently.
  • Loose teeth
If you have a lose teeth then you must go to your dentist immediately. A partially dislodged tooth can be damaged permanently if it's not taken care of on time. To counter the pain, take a recommended dose of pain killer till you reach the dentist.
  • Knocked out tooth
If you fell down and broke a tooth, then grab it and rinse it fully to get rid of any dirt and grime. Avoid scrubbing the tooth as it may wash of the tissues that may be attached at the root of the tooth. You may try to insert the tooth into the socket from where it came off, and if it doesn't work, then rush to the nearest dentist immediately. American Dental Association recommends placing the broken tooth in a pot of milk till you get the required medical attention. To avoid the bleeding, place some ice on the affected area to relieve the pain and the bleeding.
  • Crown coming off
If the filling or the crown that you had in the tooth came off, then make sure you are keeping the crown or the filling at the safe place till you reach dentist. Applying clove oil to the gap relieves you off the pain and the sensitivity.
  • Painful swelling between the gums
If you are experiencing painful swelling then check for anything that may be lodged between the gaps of the teeth, if you are able to find anything, then gently floss away the object without applying too much pressure. If the swelling and the pain persists, then you may be having a case of abscess that often results in the pus formation. In that case visit emergency dentist immediately and try rinsing the mouth with salt water to ease you off the pain.
  • Toothache
This is one of the most general problems that people face. If your tooth paining and is aching between the joints then rinse your mouth with salt water and try brushing the teeth with very light pressure. If the pain still persists, then call up your dentist and fix an appointment.
