An incision and drainage procedure is performed to help manage an aggressive infection. This procedure is often completed with the extraction of the tooth or teeth causing the infection. A drain (rubber tube) has been sutured in the gum area at the site of the infection. This tube allows the infection to "drain."

Dental cleaning helps control the bacteria in the mouth that are responsible for causing bad breath. Though brushing and flossing the teeth regularly can help keep the breath fresh, a professional dental cleaning every 6 months is also important for maintaining an odor-free oral environment.

La limpieza dental es parte de la higiene bucal e implica la eliminación de la placa dental de los dientes con la intención de prevenir caries (caries dental), gingivitis y enfermedad periodontal. Las personas se limpian habitualmente los dientes mediante el cepillado y la limpieza interdental, y los higienistas dentales pueden eliminar los depósitos endurecidos (sarro) que no se eliminan con la limpieza de rutina. 14h

Cavities FAQs Most of us have had at least one. Some of us have quite a few. So what makes cavities so persistent, keeping more children out of school than any other disease? Usually, the answer is simple: not enough brushing your teeth, flossing and visiting the dentist. Snacking on sweets and slurping sodas doesn't help either. But rather than feel guilty, get informed. Q: What's the difference between tooth decay and tooth cavity? A: Good question! Most people think tooth ...decay and tooth cavity are the same thing. But they're not. Tooth decay refers to a gradual process during which bacteria in the mouth produce acids that destroy the surfaces of teeth. Over time, tooth decay can erode enamel to the point that a hole, or cavity, forms. Q: How do I know if I have cavities? A: Cavities are one of the first things your dentist looks for during a regular dental exam. X-rays allow your dentist to diagnose whether you have dental cavities and how extensive they are. Sometimes a tooth cavity is visible to the naked eye; if you see black holes in your teeth, those could be signs. Another cavity red flag is a toothache or sensitivity to hot or cold food and drinks. Q: How do dentists treat dental cavities? A: Treatment depends on the size of the cavity and the degree of damage. Although many dental cavities are treated with fillings, onlays may be necessary to treat large cavities affecting the cusps of teeth, while cavities affecting the areas in between the cusps may be treated with inlays. In some cases, dental crowns are used to protect a tooth from further tooth cavity damage. Dental sealants are often applied to children's teeth as a preventative measure against cavities. Still have questions about cavities or other dental problems? Your dentist will be happy to answer them during your next checkup.

Chipped Teeth Choices If you have a chipped tooth, you're not alone! In fact, chipped teeth are the most common dental injury today. But don’t let that little-known fact fool you into ignoring a chipped tooth; any type of dental trauma deserves immediate attention. A small chip may not cause you pain, but there could be damage underneath the surface of the tooth. Our dentist can rule out cracks or internal tooth problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye. And in many cases..., your chipped tooth can be repaired in just one visit. Options, Options Chipped tooth treatments vary according to the amount of damage. Depending on your situation, any one of these chipped tooth treatments may be an option for you: Dental Bonding -- Most chips can be corrected with dental bonding. Dental bonding is an efficient, durable and cost-effective way to correct minor chips. Enamel Shaping -- Often used in conjunction with dental bonding, enamel shaping can also correct small chips or surface flaws. During enamel shaping, a small portion of the tooth's surface is removed or recontoured to smooth out imperfections. Dental Veneers If the chip is significant and dental bonding or enamel shaping can't be used, you may need a veneer. These thin, porcelain wafers completely cover the surface of the tooth and are often used for front teeth. Root Canal Pain in the location of the chip can be a sign that the nerve is exposed. If that's the case, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth. Dental Crown -- A dental crown is used to completely cover larger teeth or to cap a tooth after a root canal. Tooth Extraction -- If the tooth can't be saved, a tooth extraction may be necessary. The good news is a dental bridge or dental implants can replace missing teeth.

Oral piercing is a form of body art and self-expression that’s all the rage among teenagers and young adults. While piercings of the tongue, lip or cheek might seem safe because everyone has them, that’s not entirely true. The mouth is a moist place, which means it’s a breeding ground for bacteria and infection. And the primary danger of oral piercing is increased risk of infection. There are other risks, too. Oral piercings can also chip or crack teeth, cause nerve damage ...and produce an allergic reaction to metal. Some people also notice that it’s more difficult to speak, chew and swallow after piercings. Do the smart thing and have your teenager see a dentist before piercing. Learning about the potential risks will make for a happier, healthier loved one. And if your teen decides to go ahead with a piercing, make sure he or she keeps it clean! This is the single most effective way to fight off infection. And if your teen notices any of the following symptoms, schedule a dentist appointment right away: Pain, soreness or swelling Chipped or cracked teeth Damage to fillings Sensitivity to metals Numbness

HISTORY OF DENTISTRY Dentistry is one of the oldest medical professions, dating back to 7000 B.C. with the Indus Valley Civilization. However, it wasn’t until 5000 B.C. that descriptions related to dentistry and tooth decay were available. At the time, a Sumerian text described tooth worms as causing dental decay, an idea that wasn’t proven false until the 1700s! In ancient Greece, Hippocrates and Aristotle wrote about dentistry, specifically about treating decaying teeth, ...but it wasn’t until 1530 that the first book entirely devoted to dentistryThe Little Medicinal Book for All Kinds of Diseases and Infirmities of the Teethwas published. By the 1700s, dentistry had become a more defined profession. In 1723, Pierre Fauchard, a French surgeon credited as the Father of Modern Dentistry, published his influential book, The Surgeon Dentist, a Treatise on Teeth, which for the first time defined a comprehensive system for caring for and treating teeth. Additionally, Fauchard first introduced the idea of dental fillings and the use of dental prosthesis, and he identified that acids from sugar led to tooth decay. In 1840, the first dental college (Baltimore College of Dental Surgery) opened, establishing the need for more oversight. In the United States, Alabama led the way by enacting the first dental practice act in 1841, and nearly 20 years later, the American Dental Association (ADA) was formed. The first university-affiliated dental institution, the Harvard University Dental School, was founded in 1867. By 1873, Colgate had mass produced the first toothpaste, and mass-produced toothbrushes followed a few years later. What may come as a surprise is that the first African American to earn a dental degree dates all the way back to 1869, and the first female dental assistant was employed in New Orleans in 1885. What might be most surprising of all is that most Americans did not adopt good brushing habits until after World War II, when soldiers stationed abroad brought the concept of good oral health back to the United States!

6 formas sencillas de prevenir las caries en los niños Los niños y las caries parecen ir de la mano. Según los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el 28 por ciento de los niños de 2 a 5 años tienen al menos una caries dental, en comparación con el 24 por ciento de hace una década. Aunque el 4 por ciento puede no parecer mucho, ese aumento representa miles y miles de niños y caries, así como una tendencia en la dirección opuesta de los últimos 40 años, cua...ndo la caries dental disminuyó gradualmente. Entonces, si tiene niños y las caries son una preocupación, aquí hay seis maneras fáciles de reducir el riesgo: 1. Evite darle a su bebé jugo o fórmula por la noche. El azúcar en el jugo y la fórmula hace que las bacterias en la boca produzcan los ácidos que causan la caries del biberón. En su lugar, use agua fluorada. 2. Elija alimentos bajos en grasa de los grupos de alimentos básicos. Las frutas y verduras crudas, las nueces, los panes integrales y los productos lácteos bajos en grasa son excelentes para la salud general de su hijo y su salud dental. 3. Si es necesario, dé dulces solo como postre. Si su hijo debe comer dulces, limítelos al postre o después de una comida principal. Los bocadillos nocturnos y los bocadillos frecuentes son los principales culpables de las caries en los niños. 4. Invierta en un filtro de agua. En lugar de gastar más en agua embotellada, invierta en un filtro para su fregadero o en una jarra de agua filtrada. El agua del grifo fluorada es un recurso excelente para ayudar en la batalla entre los niños y las caries. 5. No comparta tazas ni utensilios. Las caries son contagiosas. Entonces, si los tiene, puede pasárselos a su hijo compartiendo tazas y utensilios. 6. Si fuma, deje de hacerlo. El Strong Children's Research Center de la Universidad de Rochester ha descubierto un vínculo entre el tabaquismo, los niños y las caries. Los resultados de un estudio muestran que los hijos de padres que fuman tienen más probabilidades de desarrollar caries.

Bulimia Nervosa Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder in which the sufferer binges and purges their food. Unlike anorexia, where starvation is used to lose weight, bulimia entails consuming a large amount of food, only to expel it soon afterwards by inducing vomiting, using laxatives or exercising excessively. Those who suffer from bulimia are referred to as bulimics, and it most often affects teenage girls and young women. Considered a mental disorder as well, bulimia...Continue reading

El consumo excesivo de alcohol está relacionado con el cáncer oral El cáncer oral es el sexto cáncer más común en hombres en todo el mundo y casi dos tercios de los casos se encuentran en estadios avanzados cuando se detectan. Desde hace mucho tiempo, se han asociado varios factores de riesgo con el cáncer oral, como el tabaquismo, el virus del papiloma humano (VPH), el sexo y la edad. Recientemente, el consumo excesivo de alcohol también se ha relacionado con los cánceres or...ales, especialmente cuando se presenta junto con otros factores de riesgo. El término "cáncer oral" se refiere a cánceres de labio, lengua, piso de la boca, amígdalas y paladar blando. Si nota alguna llaga, hinchazón o decoloración que no se cura por sí sola después de dos semanas, es importante que consulte a su dentista. La detección temprana puede aumentar en gran medida sus posibilidades de una recuperación completa y rápida. La gran mayoría de los casos de cáncer oral están relacionados con el consumo de tabaco, y la mayor frecuencia y duración del consumo de productos de tabaco es directamente proporcional al aumento del riesgo de cáncer oral. El consumo excesivo de alcohol también puede aumentar su riesgo de cáncer oral, pero es la combinación del consumo de tabaco y el consumo excesivo de alcohol lo que realmente hace que su riesgo se dispare. Se ha estimado que esta combinación puede aumentar hasta 100 veces su riesgo de cáncer oral. Los hombres tienen aproximadamente el doble de probabilidades que las mujeres de desarrollar cáncer oral y la edad promedio en el momento del diagnóstico es de 62 años. Se ha estimado que el VPH, que generalmente se asocia con el cáncer de cuello uterino, es responsable del 20 al 30 por ciento de los cánceres orales. Si desarrolla cáncer oral, su dentista puede sugerirle varias opciones de tratamiento dental, incluida la extirpación quirúrgica de las células afectadas, radiación o quimioterapia. Recuerda, la detección precoz es indispensable en la lucha contra el cáncer bucal, así que consulta a tu dentista de inmediato si notas alguna irregularidad que no desaparece en dos semanas. Su dentista puede proporcionarle un examen de cáncer oral en cada una de sus visitas regulares al dentista.
