Preventive Dentistry Practices
Preventive dentistry practices are generally practices aimed at protecting existing oral and dental health. In addition to not providing proper hygienic care for many years, not taking the necessary protective measures also plays an important role in the deterioration of oral and dental health. For this reason, today, with preventive dentistry practices, necessary precautions are taken while oral and dental health is still intact, and problems such as tooth decay that may occur in the future are prevented. Preventive dentistry is very important, especially in childhood and adolescence. Generally, preventive dentistry applications in these age groups can be listed as topical fluoride applications and fissure sealants applied especially to molars.
Oral and dental health is of great importance in every period of human life. Oral and dental health problems and aesthetic problems arising from teeth can seriously negatively affect people’s lives. Oral and dental health problems can also have an impact on general health. For this reason, it is necessary to trust fully equipped health institutions and professional dentists with experience in oral and dental health.
Endodontics
Sometimes, the pulp tissue, which is the deepest tissue of the teeth and contains the nerves and vascular packages, is damaged due to reasons such as caries affecting the deep tooth tissues and sometimes trauma. When this tissue is damaged, pulp diseases that cause serious pain may occur or teeth may lose their vitality. If the teeth cannot maintain their vitality for any reason, the nerve tissues in the center of the tooth, that is, the pulp, must be cleaned. This treatment is called endodontic treatment, that is, root canal treatment. Dentists who specialize in endodontics are called endodontists. As a result of neglecting endodontic treatments, lesions may occur on tooth roots and even tooth loss may occur. For this reason, endodontic treatments are of great importance in oral and dental health.
