Sports Dentistry

Sportsmen may be hit many times throughout their lives, depending on the sport they do. This is the branch of sports dentistry that deals with sports and exercise-related dental injuries, prevention and treatment of oral diseases.

If the severity of the blows that the sportsmen are exposed to is low, it causes heat increase in the body and injuries to the soft tissues. Most of the severe traumas experienced by sportsmen include injuries to the jaw and face. Impacts on the jaw and face can cause displacement and fractures in bones and teeth.

We can say that the most common injuries in the face and jaw area in sports accidents are dental injuries. Generally, this type of injury is seen in close combat sports, sports using sticks, football, basketball, skiing and racquet sports. In such cases, sports dentistry develops solutions to the health problems encountered.

Fractures in the jawbones and teeth are quite common in accidents and injuries in the face area. As a result of the injury, the upper jaw and usually the upper incisors are damaged. Fractures on the face and increased intracranial pressure may occur. Serious neck and brain injuries are also among sports injuries.

Sports Injuries

We have all seen the protection apparatus given to the sportsmen to put on their teeth in a boxing match or an American football match. Appliances produced to prevent such accidents in sports activities and to protect people from injuries are called ‘mouth guards or protective mouth guards. By keeping these mouthguards in their mouths, sportsmen protect their teeth, tongue, lips, cheeks and jaws against incoming blows. Another most important feature of this mouth guard used by sportsmen is that it creates a gap between the upper and lower teeth, preventing possible concussion of the brain, injury, and possible death.

Scope of Sports Dentistry

Sports dentistry continues studies for the methods of protection from maxillofacial injuries (it is a separate field of specialization for postgraduates in dentistry, it is the science that repairs the head, face and mouth, teeth, gums, and neck related diseases functionally or aesthetically). It should not be forgotten that it is as important to prevent possible situations as to treat injuries or traumas in sports dentistry.

Bad Breath (Halitosis)

The name of the ugly smell in the breath that comes from the mouth and disturbs the person and the people around him is bad breath (halitosis). It affects the communication between people negatively and causes the person to have a self-confidence problem. This situation, which seems like a minor problem, unfortunately, alienates people from social life and isolates them gradually.

Causes of Bad Breath

After dental caries and periodontal diseases, people most often refer to their dentists for complaints about bad breath. This problem, which can be seen at any age and in everyone, can be the harbinger of many diseases. These mostly physiological causes can also be pathological from time to time. Reflux and postnasal (nasal) discharge, poor condition of implants and prostheses, dental caries, bad fillings, cleft palate, tonsil diseases, gingival diseases, mucosal disorders, fungi and infections, tongue and tongue root layer are the main oral causes that create bad breath. In addition, a decrease in saliva, dry mouth and, unfortunately, oral cancers can also cause this negative situation.

Halitosis, which can be seen at almost any age and in everyone, is a condition that adults may encounter every morning at some point in their life. In addition, studies show that men are three times more likely to experience this annoying condition than women. As the age progresses, bad breath (halitosis) increases with the decrease in the fluidity of the saliva. The increase in diseases is also a reason for this.

Bad Breath Treatment

In recent years, the knowledge about the frequently encountered problem of bad breath has gradually increased. As a result of research in this direction, volatile sulfur compounds produced by bacteria in saliva and breath have become directly measurable. As a result of the research, the sources of odour and their reasons could be revealed more clearly.

Here are some suggestions as main ways to deal with this disturbing situation. First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to our oral hygiene. We should not neglect to brush our tongue while brushing our teeth regularly. We can also use dental floss to clean the residues left between the teeth that we can’t get rid of just by brushing. If there is inflammation in our gums, we must consult a dentist and have the appropriate treatment. Chewing a mint gum or taking a clove in your mouth after meals will also help.

Fluoride Application

Fluoride is an element that prevents tooth decay by strengthening the structure of the teeth. It is an element found in the water we drink, in the air, and foods such as meat, fish, eggs and tea, and it increases the resistance of the tooth against caries. This element is found in trace amounts in toothpaste and contributes to the protective aspect of the pastes. Fluoride application aims to prevent, slow down or completely stop dental caries in children, adolescents and young people. For this purpose, it is the process of applying agents such as varnish, gel, the solution to the surface of the teeth.

Tooth enamel is a structure that covers the tooth. Since tooth enamel is not fully mature when it first starts to erupt, newly erupted teeth are much weaker against caries and more prone to caries formation. Here fluoride helps to strengthen this tooth enamel and protects teeth against acid attacks. It also fights the formation of new dental caries. Fluoride tablets are also available for children. However, nowadays, the application of fluoride finds it more appropriate to take the fluoride locally under the control of a dentist instead of taking it by mouth in a systematic way. Professional surface fluoride application can only be applied by dentists. This is a protective method. It is applied by your dentist in the form of fluoride gel at intervals of 3-6-12 months in the clinic environment and on all surfaces of all teeth.

How is Fluoride Application Made?

The dentist can administer fluoride therapy in several different ways. The teeth are dried so that the fluoride does not dilute. It is then applied to the tooth surface in the form of gel, foam or varnish. Fluoride can be applied directly to the teeth with a brush. Or it can be applied between 1 and 4 minutes with the help of a spoon.

When and How Often Should Fluoride Application Be Made?

It is applied during the development period of teeth in children. Flour gel application can be effective for 4 to 6 months, depending on the caries risk group your child has. At the end of these periods, it must be repeated. However, your dentist should decide on the frequency of these applications and which type of application to choose, with a special program that he/she will prepare for your child. It is not recommended to use it for a long time, side effects may occur over time. In addition to all these, mouthwashes containing fluoride will also add help. You can also apply fluoride in our clinic accompanied by a specialist doctor.

Fissure Sealer

Your child can have regular tooth brushing habits thanks to the guidance of their parents. However, in the deep pits that the brush bristles cannot reach, dental caries may occur over time. During the period when they start brushing, especially for children who cannot easily brush their molars regularly, caries usually starts from the back teeth first. The pits on the surfaces of these deciduous and permanent molars are called fissures. These fissure bruises account for 80-90% of all caries seen in children. Fissure sealant (dental graft) is used to stop the progression of caries in these teeth and to protect the teeth against caries.

What is Fissure Sealant?

Fissure sealant is a protective filling applied to the fissure areas of the teeth. Fissure applied to a decayed tooth surface is applied after the tooth is freed from caries and cleaned. This method, which is mostly used in children, is applied in a short time.

It requires minimal compliance as it is a painless procedure. This application can be applied to the tooth without local anesthesia. After it is done, there is no harm to the tooth. The process of covering these pits on the chewing surfaces of the patient’s teeth is a very effective protective application that ensures that the area is closed and remains caries-free for a long time.

What are the Benefits of Fissure Sealers?

By closing the deep pits on the chewing surfaces, the access of bacteria to that area is prevented. The formation of caries at these points where bacteria can no longer enter is stopped. Owing to this process, it is possible to prevent surface caries, which constitutes approximately 70% of all caries.

A transparent or white colored fluid fissure can be used when light discoloration of the teeth begins. Otherwise, after the loss of substance in the tooth begins to occur, it will no longer benefit, and a filling will be required. This method can be applied to children’s deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth of adults. Since there will be no feeling of height in the tooth after the procedure, it does not give a feeling of discomfort. In addition, there is no numbness since anesthesia is not applied.

How Long Does Fissure Sealant Protect? Should I have it done all the time?

You will only need to do this once. However, you should go to your dentist every six months and have a check-up. Of course, wear, breakage or falling may occur over time. However, studies show that fissures can stay in their deepest parts and provide protection for years.

First Examination with a Pediatric Dentist

The first examination with a pediatric dentist is among the subjects that parents want to be informed about. Unfortunately, the incidence of dental caries in children and young adults is increasing day by day. One of the most important reasons for the increase in this rate is the changing diet habits at developmental age. However, malnutrition can also cause serious problems on oral and dental health along with various health problems. In order not to experience irreversible problems in adulthood, it is necessary to start protecting our oral and dental health at a young age. Our children should be taught the correct oral and dental health protection rules from an early age by their parents. But, as with every subject, expert opinions on this subject are very precious.

When is the First Examination with a Pediatric Dentist?

According to the World Health Organization, the first examination by a pediatric dentist should be done after the first tooth erupts, that is, usually between 6 months and 1 year of age. Pedodontists, who treat diseases in the mouth and dental tissues in children, recommend that the first dental examination of children be done until the age of 1 after the eruption of the first deciduous tooth. The recommendation made by these specialists, who also practice preventive dentistry, is generally interpreted as ‘too early’ by parents. But your child does not necessarily have to sit in the dental chair for treatment at an early age.

Being familiar with the tools to be used during the treatment is a preliminary preparation for the time to come for treatment. In addition, owing to the pedodontist you meet at an early age, you can prevent some problems that children may encounter during their developmental stages.

What is done in the examination performed with the eruption of the first tooth?

  • It is taught which brush is more suitable for your baby’s teeth cleaning and which paste to use.
  • Information is given on preventing the transmission of bacteria from mother to baby.
  • Until what age the bottle and pacifier use should continue, the harms of habits such as thumb sucking or lip picking, and the processes of development in the child’s mouth, teeth and palate are explained.
  • Parents are informed about the nutrition that can be done to prevent dental caries and how often you should visit the dentist.

Dear parents, do not forget that all the good habits given to your child at an early age are very important for dental care and health. For this reason, we should put your children’s dental health under the control of specialists from a young age to prevent future problems.

Fiber Application

Fiber post is dental treatment. If there is no solid surrounding around the tooth and excessive mass loss has occurred, the treatment performed by placing fiber rods into the root canal is called fiber application. This application is used if there is irreversible damage to the tooth. Again, in cases where the jawbone is insufficient, this application is applied in prosthetic dental treatments, in the treatment of decayed or missing teeth where the filling will be missing. It is a process that comes into play after the root canal treatment is done. Post core, fiber post dental process, in other words, is used according to the extent of the patient’s tooth damage. The procedure is carried out professionally by dentists who are experts in their field in our clinic.

How is Fiber Post Application Made?

Tooth root canal treatment must be done before fiber application is made to the tooth. If the tooth mass is removed after the root canal treatment is completed and there is no problem in the tooth roots, fiber is applied. The canal and pulp chamber (the part where the nerves that provide the vitality of the tooth are located) are shaped by the dentist.

By taking the measure of the shaped canal, studies are started in the laboratory to make metal posts and core. Again, the process continues with the addition of fiber rods to the tooth tissue, which is measured and shaped by the dentist. These sticks, which are placed inside the root canal, are extremely reliable in terms of durability as they are used with an adhesive material.

After cleaning the excess parts of the adhesive applied to the formed channel and fiber rods, it is hardened with ray. The fiber post outside the root is covered with a filler and then reduced. The reason for the natural appearance after the process is the use of ceramic materials.

Advantages of Fiber Post Application

Fiber application, which is supportive for dental treatments, is very advantageous for both the patient and the dentist.

-It allows deep caries to be treated without losing the root of the tooth.

-With the help of a fiber rod, the resistance of the tooth is increased by taking support from the root of the tooth.

-Possible tooth loss is prevented by this method.

– It stops the infection in the teeth, prevents the progression of the damage.

-It also protects the tissues at the root tip in case of infections that occur in the tooth.

-After this procedure, the tooth regains vitality.

-It improves the quality of life as it will prevent patients from being toothless.

Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is the process of removing the small tissue in the centre of the patient’s tooth, which is called the pulp. The extracted pulp is damaged, diseased or dead. When the pulp is removed, the remaining cavity is first cleaned. Then it is brought to the tooth format and filled again. With this procedure, the patient’s root canal is closed.

We Perform Root Canal Treatment in Practical Way

In the past, sick or damaged teeth were extracted. Nowadays, even teeth that are to be lost can be saved. Our specialist dentists are experienced in root canal treatment (endodontics) and practically complete the procedure. It is very important to do the procedures quickly while applying this treatment. Thus, it is ensured that the patient is least affected by the process.

The main causes of damage to the pulp tissue in the form of fine threads in the centre of the tooth may be listed as.

  • Deepening tooth decay,
  • Cracked teeth,
  • Damage to the teeth because of blows to the face in the past or recently.

Our dentists strongly advise that when the pulp becomes infected or dies, it must be treated. If the pulp is not treated, an abscess occurs in the tooth root and jawbone. As you know, abscess-induced pain is severe. Treatment is essential for the relief of these pains.

How Do We Do Root Canal Treatment?

Endodontic treatment consists of steps that will require one or more sessions. If the infection in the tooth has spread too much, the treatment is finished in three sessions. Root canal treatment (endodontics) procedures are performed by our dentists who are aware of the causes of dental nerve diseases and are specialized in their prevention. Let’s look at how our endodontists, who are specialists in their field, do this treatment.

Our dentist will take X-rays to see the shape of the root canals. Thus, he will also check whether there is an infection in the bone around the tooth. Our dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area next to the tooth. Next, our dentist will want to keep the surrounding of the tooth free from saliva during the treatment. For this, he will place a waterproof material around the tooth.

In the next step, a hole will be drilled into the tooth. Decayed nerve tissue, dental pulp and bacteria will be removed from the tooth. The canal will be widened to thoroughly clear the infection. The canal expansion process will be completed painlessly. If the treatment is not completed within the same day, a temporary filling is made so that food residues and saliva do not enter the cavity in the tooth.

At the end of the treatment, the permanent filling material is used to fill the gap in the tooth. This filling will prevent leakage in the tooth and is a material suitable for the tooth structure.

Root Canal Treatment

If your tooth is infected or very decayed, root canal treatment is applied to your tooth. With this treatment method, the tooth does not need to be extracted. Thus, the tooth is saved. This treatment process, which is essential for your dental health, is carried out practically by our expert dentists. You can easily use your best-treated tooth for many years.

Painless Root Canal Treatment

During this treatment to your tooth canal, you may think that there will be a pain. But there is no painful condition. You will feel very little pain during root canal treatment. Since our dentists apply local anesthesia, your pain sensation will be minimized. It is very natural for you to be sensitive during the procedure. This sensitivity is also due to damage to the dental pulp.

Root canal treatment is the most used method for tooth salvage or removal of abscess in the tooth. If you have severe pain in your tooth before the treatment, it will be normal to experience very mild aches after the treatment. But if you still feel uncomfortable with the pain, you can call our dentist and ask for help.

There will be points that you need to pay attention to after your treatment is finished. Let’s list the points you should pay attention to:

  • Sometimes this treatment does not end in a single session. In such a case, you should try not to use your teeth until your next session. In addition, you should not consume very hot or very cold foods to avoid pain.
  • We recommend that you do not eat anything for the first two hours after the treatment.
  • Even if your treatment is completely over, it will be good to avoid very hot or very cold foods for a few days.

Hooked Dentures

Hooked dental prostheses can be applied to people who cannot have fixed prostheses. This type of prosthesis is also called a partial denture. This prosthesis is attached to the natural tooth in front of the edentulous area with a hook. Prosthesis stages are started with the measurement taken by our experienced dentists. The prepared prosthesis becomes ready for use in an average of two weeks after various rehearsals.

Our Hooked Dental Prostheses That Meet Your Expectations

These prostheses, which are called partial, are supported by the connection of the hooks in their structure with the teeth. The first time you use it, the mold may feel tight to you. But as time passes, you will feel more comfortable. Although not as comfortable as fixed prostheses, using these prostheses will provide you convenience while eating.

Hooked dental prostheses have metal parts that pass through the lower and upper jaws in the mouth. It will be possible to get used to these parts over time. After a certain time, you will get used to dentures like your own teeth.

These hooked prostheses have cleaning tablets. Pour the tablet into a glass of water and prepare the mixture. Then you can easily clean it by putting your prosthesis in this mixture. If you want, you can clean these prostheses by purchasing their special brushes.

Our successful dentists will make the prosthesis suitable for your measurements and expectations in the dental prosthesis laboratory. You will not have any problems with the retention of this prosthesis. You will be able to perform all the functions you do with your teeth most comfortably with the prosthesis.

The hooks in the structure of hooked dental prostheses, which we prepare according to your needs, prevent the prosthesis from being removed. Therefore, your denture will not move while eating. If you feel loose on the hooks as you use them, we can easily tighten the hooks to prevent your prosthesis from moving.

You Can Consult Us About Dental Prosthesis

Our specialist dentists will not cause any damage to your natural teeth during the partial denture procedure. They are prostheses that are applied directly by taking measurements from the jawline.

If any breakage occurs while using these prostheses, you can easily have them repaired. The repair time will vary depending on the size and shape of the break in the prosthesis. However, it will be repaired in a few days at the latest.

Our professional dentists follow the stages of hooked dental prostheses meticulously and offer the best to your service. You can use these prostheses for many years after regular maintenance and hygiene. It will be enough to contact us to find out whether these prostheses with hooks are suitable for you. Our experienced dentists in prostheses will design quality dental prostheses at an affordable price according to your needs.

Precision Attached Dentures

If the fixed prosthesis is not suitable for those with multiple missing teeth, precision attachment dental prostheses are the solution. People call this type of prosthesis with snaps. Concealed retainers in snap-in prostheses are placed in the slots prepared in the teeth. Concealed holders are not hook-shaped. For this reason, this prosthesis provides a more aesthetic appearance in people.

We Provide the Most Comfortable Use in Dental Prosthesis

We prepare these fixed prostheses with semi-precision attachment by taking measurements from our patients and making various rehearsals. This preparation takes an average of 5 sessions. In other words, two weeks are enough for these prostheses to find their final form.

There are sensitive parts in prostheses called snap fasteners. These parts are seated in the slots prepared in the teeth. For the first time, users will feel a very tight mould when inserting and removing these parts. As precision attachment dentures are used, the part will be inserted and removed more comfortably. Snap-in dental prostheses have metal parts that pass under the tongue and palate. Those who use this prosthesis get used to these parts over time.

The precision attachment models of the dental prostheses should be cleaned under running water. In addition, it should be cleaned with soap and a brush. The brush to be used can be a toothbrush. Our professional dentists design these prostheses in a way that the patient can use

most comfortably. Among the prosthesis types, sensitive attachments are adjusted by our dentists to get the best support from soft tissue and natural teeth.

Precision attachment dental prostheses allow you to perform the bite, cutting and grinding functions in the best way. These prostheses will not move while you are eating. Because the parts that fit into the sockets prevent the prosthesis from coming off. If you feel looseness in the sensitive connections of the prosthesis over time, you can easily change the tires. In addition, these prostheses have an aesthetic look. Because the part where they get support from the teeth is in the prosthesis and cannot be seen.

How is the procedure done?

It is necessary not to damage the sensitive connection parts while putting on and removing the snap-in prosthesis. Insertion and removal of the prosthesis should be done slowly and carefully. After making sure that the prosthesis is fully inserted in the mouth, the jaw should be closed. You should not place the prosthesis by closing your jaw. In such a case, the ports will be damaged. Therefore, we recommend that you use the prosthesis carefully.

You can contact us for any information about precision attachment dentures. You can make an appointment with our dentists to find out if these prostheses are suitable for you. If you want to use snap-on prostheses with the best quality at the most affordable price, our expert staff will help you.
