Awkward moments! Yes, those moments that make us think of hiding inside a shell and never coming out again, ever. Apart from awkward social situations, people also face awkward dental moments that makes them feel embarrassed in front of people. But, you need not worry about it anymore, we are here to help you.

Here are top 5 awkward dental moments along with tips to handle them:

  1. SOMETHING GETS STUCK IN TEETH

    This is the most common awkward dental moment that we come through. If you don’t have a mirror to check if something is stuck in your teeth then you can use either back of a spoon or your cell phone camera to check it.

    via GIPHY

    HOW TO FIX IT?

    Tip #1: Chew a sugarless gum to loose the thing stuck in your teeth or swish some water around your mouth.

    Tip #2: if it’s really stuck, excuse yourself and go to the restroom and try to get it out using floss. But, generally we don’t carry floss everywhere we go. In that case you can use your finger or else you can use a paper towel. Fold the paper towel and use its edges to get rid of the thing.

    Never use objects like keys, pens, wires, tweezers, etc. for picking as they can damage your teeth and gums.

    WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS SOMETHING STUCK IN THEIR TEETH?

    You can always tell the person about this but, this is pretty tricky as you want to tell the person about the problem and also do not want them to get embarrassed. The best thing to do in this situation is to look at that person and point with your finger where the thing is stuck, pointing at your teeth. Generally people get this and try to get it fixed. But, if the person is still not getting your signals, you can go and whisper in their ear. That’s the good manner.

  2. SENSITIVITY OR TOOTH PAIN

    Sudden tooth pain or sensitivity can be too distracting and moreover it can be a sign of something more serious.

    via GIPHY

    HOW TO FIX IT?

    Tip #1: Avoid having cold or hot foods. If your jaw hurts, keep it cool by holding a cold drink against it.

    Tip #2: If the problem persists for a longer time, get in touch with us.

    However, you can avoid dental dilemmas by having regular dental checkup and dental cleaning. Always remember, prevention is better than cure.

    WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING TOOTH PAIN?

    That’s way too simple. You just have to suggest them the above mentioned tips!

  3. BAD BREADTH

    Again, bad breadth is also very common among masses. You don’t want other person to think of you being unhygienic, especially if you are on a date or an important business meeting.

    via GIPHY

    HOW TO FIX IT?

    Tip #1: Chew some sugarless gum and drink some water. Always keep some mint candies or gum with you.

    Tip #2: Eat foods that help in reducing bad breath like yogurt, crunchy foods (apple, carrot, celery, etc.). Even a black tea can help.

    Tip #3: Most of the bad-breath bacteria hang onto out of the tongue. You can use a spoon as a tongue-scraper (obviously, not in public).

    If you face regular problem of bad breath, brush twice and use mouth-wash and maintain good oral hygiene. You can also eat mints for keeping your mouth fresh. Avoid eating raw onions, garlic and spices as they cause bad breath.

    WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE IS HAVING BAD BREATH?

    There is no way you can say someone that they have bad breath and they take it without being embarrassed. The best thing to do in this situation is to tell the person directly about their bad breath with a smile on your face. May be that person can get embarrassed but, you will save him from further embarrassments.

  4. HAIR GETS STUCK IN BRACES

    Although this is not very common but, it can happen with people having braces (but obvious) and long hair. Hair getting stuck in braces can only happen in rare cases. For example if you are a teenager girl who loves dancing and partying and is never shy of having braces. You go to some party and your favorite number comes up and you start dancing like crazy. Suddenly, your hair strands get stuck in your braces.

    via GIPHY

    HOW TO FIX IT?

    Tip #1: If you don’t want anyone to notice that, keep dancing slowly for a while and then slowly get to the restroom. Now, carefully take your hairs out one by one. You can also get help from someone if it is difficult for you.

    Tip #2: Even an outing on a breezy day can bring up such situations, so try some tied up hairdos to avoid such embarrassing moments.

    WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS THEIR HAIR STUCK IN BRACES?

    If you see someone who has their hair stuck in braces then go and help them immediately as it can be very painful.

  5. DENTURE FALLS OUT

    via GIPHY

    This situation again is not very common, it mainly happens with senior people as they generally use dentures.

    HOW TO FIX IT?

    Tip #1: This is the most awkward dental moment of the lot. But, if you face this situation, be a sport. Laugh out loud with everyone else and clean the denture properly and put it back.

    WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE’S DENTURE FALLS OUT?

    As mentioned above, this usually happens with old age people. If we see someone’s denture falling then rather than staring and laughing we should go and help them clean and fix it back. Manners again!

    We hope that these tips will save from awkward dental moments and save your day. However, regular dental checkup and maintaining good oral hygiene are very good practices and they also help you in saving money for major dental treatments.

Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) comprise of an immovable object that may be used to pull, push, lift, or intrude teeth that need to be straightened. They offer a simple, inconspicuous solution to replace previous unwieldy dental solutions, such as headgear. TADs are also known as mini-implants, mini-screws, and micro-implants, and are between 6 and 10mm long, which is roughly the size of a small wood screw. When a TAD is in place, it resembles an earring resting on the gum. The implant plate has two parts – 1. Implant head and 2. Implant body. Some of its popular types are:

  • Small Head (SH) Type
  • No head (NH)Type
  • Long Head (LH)Type
  • Circle Head (CH)Type
  • Fixation Head (FH)Type
  • Bracket Head (BH)Type

TADs are constructed from biologically inert materials that are safe for use in the mouth. They will not corrode the gums or harm the body in any way. TADs are intended to hold fast in bone and are compatible with the soft tissue that they pass through. These are made of biologically compatible titanium alloy. TADs require very little maintenance to stay clean and healthy. In addition to regular brushing and flossing, most orthodontists recommend a Chlorhexidine mouthwash. As long as your gums are healthy, it’s very unlikely to have issues with a TAD. There are different size options are available by various manufacturers.

To place a TAD, the orthodontist uses a topical and a very small anesthetic dose in the soft tissue region overlying the placement area for the TAD. It takes less than a minute for the orthodontist to insert the TAD. The soft tissue is the only area of the body that may experience pain or discomfort during the procedure, as it’s not possible for the bone to feel pain. When the gums are completely numb, the procedure will be pain free. Many patients don’t feel anything during the placement.

Since TADs don’t move, an orthodontist may use them to adjust teeth in any direction and to a degree that was not possible previously. While TADs don’t eliminate the need for teeth pulling and jaw surgery, they may lessen the amount of additional dental work required. It can be removed in few months once. As the name indicates, it is for small duration. Once the purpose is served it can be removed.

TADs have become widely accepted and extremely popular in recent years. Dental practitioners are getting good results which were not possible with braces alone. TAD is for patients who have permanent teeth. TAD is also suitable for the patients aged between 10-12 years of age. Those suffering from any gum problems cannot go for TAD. The removal process of a TAD is even easier than its placement. During the removal of implant, there is a breach of soft tissues so there won’t be pain by unscrewing it. It is a painless procedure.

With the help of TADs dentists can move teeth in different directions which were not possible previously. TAD is not an answer to a dental surgery but it can convert a surgery into tooth extraction and an extraction into a non-extraction. But for proper counseling you need to visit a good dentist who can give you a good advice.

Some of the most common features of TAD are:

  • It is not very expensive
  • It is simple to use
  • It is easier to use
  • It should be biocompatible
  • It should provide superior results

According to a study, success rates of TADs have been in the range of 80% to 95%. The stability of TAD increases with implant length. Finally we can conclude that there are many advantages of TAD. It can improve treatment times and offers a greater relief to the patient.

Gum Disease Treatment: A Glance at Options

Periodontal or Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys gum tissues and bones that support the teeth. The chief cause of this disease is accumulation of bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly builds up on the teeth and requires regular professional cleanings and dental visits.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease:

  • Bleeding Gums
  • Puffiness, redness and swelling in gums
  • Gum recession
  • Loose permanent teeth
  • Persistent bad taste or bad breath in mouth
  • Poorly fitting teeth
  • Poorly fitting partial dentures
  • Visible pus around teeth and gums
  • Pains when chewing foods
  • Sensitive teeth

Gum disease treatment is the only option if you have periodontal disease. Gingivitis and other illnesses can even travel to your heart and cause some serious damage. Here are some of the options that you can go with in case of gum problems:

  1. 1.       Non-Surgical

It cannot be the option for all types of gum diseases. Periodontists and dentists are bound by some ethics and morals, which force them to choose the least invasive alternatives possible for the patient. These treatments can help patients in getting rid of tartar and plaque from the periodontal pockets. The non-surgical procedures are sometimes all you need to get back on the track to healthy teeth and gums.

Some procedures that do not involve surgery are:

  • Dental Cleaning: In this, the dentist or dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar. The cleaning is done for all the teeth, above and below the gum line. In some cases dentist will recommend professional teeth cleaning twice a year.
  • Scaling and Root Planing: It is a comprehensive cleaning procedure in which tartar and plaque are scraped-off from the gum line (called as scaling). After scaling, the rough spots on teeth are made smooth (called as Root Planing). The tooth surface is smoothened to remove the bacteria and provide a clean surface to gums so that they can re-attach the teeth.
  1. 2.       Surgical

When the non-invasive approach is not sufficient enough to treat a patient's issues, the surgery may be chosen as an option then.

The four primary types of gum disease treatment include:

  • Pocket reduction
  • Dental crown lengthening
  • Regenerative procedures
  • Gum grafting
  1. 3.       Laser Therapy

Laser therapy has been in popularity across the dental field from many years. Some dentists have started using them in conjunction with traditional procedures to provide additional benefits (reduced bleeding, eliminating risk of infections).

Online reviews can either help or hurt your practice. Research that was conducted by BrightLocal suggested that 72% of potential patients trust the opinions on online reviews. A whopping 52% also claimed that they are likely to buy a product at a local business if the online reviews are positive. It is evident that online reviews can affect the performance of a business. Practices should learn to handle and manage negative reviews.  Following are some of the ways that are most effective.

 

1. Decide if the review is worth responding to.

 

In some cases, some negative reviews are usually not worth responding to. If a negative review is posted by a person whose general opinion and language is clearly irrational, or by a person who is known to be a frequent complainer, it is better off to ignore such. Some people may even post reviews about a local business on their obscure personal blogs. If such reviews are clearly unfair to a person of sound mind, it is usually wise to not respond to such. On the other hand, a local business should respond to a review which raises a legitimate concern, a negative review by a genuine patient, negative reviews which might be posted on other popular sites or a negative review posted by a high profile patient. High profile patients are those who frequently post reviews.

 

2. Cool down and write a private response about the review.

 

Naturally, local business will get emotional and most of the times they might overreact to negative reviews. Online readers will always side by the reviewer who is usually viewed as a “nothing-to-gain” victim rather than the profit-oriented business. When a business is responding to a negative review, it should first breathe deeply, evaluate the complaint of the patient and determine whether something can be done to address the issue or not. This should then be followed by a short and private positive response to the complainant. Making the conversation private prevents a back and forth argument which might even draw more unwanted public attention. If the problem is successfully resolved, the business can politely ask the reviewer to delete or revise the review indicating that the complaint has been solved.

 

3. Evaluate the public’s response if a patient does not change review.

 

Two scenarios might arise where a local business might be forced to publicly issue a response to a review. First, the complaint might be solved yet the patient does not delete or revise the review. The business then at this point can respond to the review indicating that the patient’s complaint was successfully resolved. Secondly, the patient might remain unsatisfied even after their problem has been solved. In this case, the business can offer a response correcting the legitimate facts but should not dwell much on specific inaccuracies. It is more important for a local business to appear conciliatory to the public about a patient’s complaint than to establish its story.

 

4. Prevent composure of patients to writing negative reviews.

 

A local business should make every possible effort that prevents patients from reaching a point of posting negative reviews online. In every business, it is inevitable to have unhappy patients. To voice their frustrations, these patients will always turn to online platforms if they are not first heard by someone at the practice. While there are dental online reputation management solutions available on the market, most practices do not employ these systems. Without such a software in places, a patient’s intentions can be to warn other potential patients, gain attention to the business and get a response or even to damage the reputation of the business. However, before consumers can turn into writing online reviews, they always try to contact the business in an effort to resolve the problem. A business should ensure that it keeps its patients engaged and receives feedback then solves the problems before they can get to a negative online review. This can involve a direct contact with the unsatisfied patient via a phone call or even emails.

 

5. Take legal action.

 

Taking a legal action against a patient who posts a negative review should always be the last resort in handling a negative online review. This is because lawsuits cannot be predicted and if the patient wins, it can have negative impacts on the business. If the business wins against the patient who posted the negative review, it can serve as an example since other evil minded patients will be reluctant to post negative online reviews with unfounded complaints. This means that only genuine reviews will be posted.

Numerous people are suffering from gum disease of varying severity. Without proper gum treatment, you could suffer from bleeding and bad breath at the initial stages and then this disease can eventually progress to the pockets of bacterial infection. The disease then may invade itself into the tissues of the gums, which will damage soft tissues and bones to the extent where dentists have no other choice but to employ extreme solutions. But it is possible to halt the decay by starting the treatment in the early stages of this disease. The chief objective of gum treatment is to prevent permanent tissue damage, control infection and tooth loss.

There are few basic things that can be done to make the treatment effective. Treatment varies according to severity of the disease.

Treatment of Gingivitis

Gingivitis is the condition where gum tissue swells. It can be treated without the surgical procedure.

At this point, the damage to the gums is not irreversible or permanent. It just requires regular cleaning and planing to maintain good oral health. Scrapping of plaque and tartar is done by dentist to control this disease. A follow-up treatment every 3-4 months is a necessity.

Antibiotics (local applications, capsules, pills, anti-bacterial toothpaste or mouthwash) are generally recommended to the patient after this treatment, as, these helps in fighting against infections.

Treatment of Periodontitis

Periodontitis is an advanced or progressive form of gingivitis. This condition needs immediate attention as the infection can spread very fast if left untreated, thus, damage to gum and teeth may occur.

Dentist removes the tartar and plaque buildup, below and above the gum line via. scaling and planing. Antibiotics are generally prescribed after this treatment. Sometimes antibiotics are inserted directly into the gum pockets to arrest the infection.

If after going through these treatments, patient does not get relief, then, a surgery is recommended. Various surgical procedures to treat this disease include:

  • Gingivectomy: In this procedure, loose and diseased tissue is removed and reshaped. This helps in getting rid of all the pockets between teeth and gum, thus, prevents plaque buildup.

 

  • Gum flap Surgery: In this procedure, the gum flap is dragged back to clean the roots of the teeth. This helps in repairing bone damage and strengthening flap.

 

  • Extraction: In some severe cases, the tooth may also need to be extracted.

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the treatment of patients with inappropriate positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), resulting in an improper bite. The healthcare experts specializing in orthodontics are recognized as orthodontists.

This treatment is used to correct the appearance, function and position of abnormally arranged teeth. Teeth can be straightened and moved into a better position with this procedure.

Two terms used to describe the different levels of orthodontic care are:

  1. Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment

  2. Limited Orthodontic Treatment

COMPREHENSIVE ORTHODONTICS:

Comprehensive orthodontic treatment or full treatment usually involves placing upper and lower braces on all the teeth. Procedure involves the growth modification for skeletal correction. It is done in cases that require banding more than 6 teeth per arch.

Examples:

  • Full Fixed Appliances (Braces)

  • Surgical Cases

  • Serial Extractions

  • Headgear

  • Frankl Appliance

  • Bionator

In most instances, these procedures are for full occlusal correction. To arrive at a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, there is requirement of comprehensive orthodontic records (photographs, study models, panoramic and cephalometric films).

LIMITED ORTHODONTICS:

It is the partial orthodontic treatment in which only a localized or 'limited' issue is addressed. The procedure involves the alignment of no more than four teeth per arch. This includes the use of removable appliances to no more than 6 teeth per arch.

Examples:

  • Tipping a molar distally to regain space

  • Correction of anterior cross-bite with a Hawley retainer or a fixed 2-by-4 appliance

  • Use of removable appliance to correct a dental posterior cross-bite

  • Use of cross arch elastic to correct a molar in cross-bite

These procedures are called ‘limited’ because they correct a limited portion of the total dentition.

Conclusion:

Orthodontic treatment can achieve several goals according to patient’s needs and desired outcomes. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment is carried out to accomplish the goal of ideal alignment of all the teeth and jaws in good form. The treatment is usually commenced in adolescents when the body is growing and can respond well to orthodontic therapy. Typical duration of this treatment is 1 to 2 years, depending on the complexity of the bite.

On the other hand, limited orthodontic treatment is for adults with minor orthodontic needs, who just want to improve their smiles in a shorter period of time. It commonly takes 6 months to improve the smile. Limited treatment can be accomplished in a smaller amount time than comprehensive treatment. This may also require some additional cosmetic dental procedures to bring more efficient results.

Dr. Shahin Safarian’s is well equipped to provide you with all the options for your goals including the risks, advantages and alternatives to the treatment. The Clinic offers both comprehensive and limited treatment with a variety of tools including metal brackets, Invisalign or clear brackets.
