Remove or Not to Remove
The news hit like a bombshell. The family dentist Azucena Peniche the “sentenced” to withdraw all their wisdom teeth, despite any upsets.
The 28-year-old Ashley’s dental health has been excellent and your wisdom teeth have grown an inch without affecting your other teeth.
So the young rebelled against the diagnosis of who was his dentist for life without wasting time and started searching for other opinions.
The first thing he did was to query the network, and realized that doctors do not always follow the rule to remove those pieces, also known as third molars or wisdom teeth.
Famous for its complications of pain, infection, inflammation and other nightmares, wisdom teeth are terrible threats to the majority of patients. That’s because, in general, the jaws are too small for these four additional molars.

Temporary Tooth Extraction
It is a procedure practiced avulsion (removal) of a temporary tooth or part of it, the jawbone that hosts, by means of instrumental techniques and specific.
Symptoms
The most common causes for tooth extraction time are the existence of dental caries associated with an infection or orthodontic reasons. Dental extraction should always be indicated by the practitioner.
Technical
Proper positioning of the patient and caregiver, use of proper technique and aseptic measures are essential rules for successful extraction. A previous exploration history and performing a radiology are also essential prior to extraction.
Tooth Fracture
With lesions in the mouth of your child, contact your dentist immediately. He will examine the affected area and determine appropriate treatment.
If your child or you. bumped (trauma) or broke, or chipped a tooth, visit the dentist immediately. If possible, keep any part of the tooth that is broken (in some cases can be re-adhere to the tooth) and bring it to the dentist. If the break (fracture) of the tooth is at the level of the dental pulp may be needed root canal treatment prior to the reconstruction of the tooth, it can be with: the piece of the tooth itself, with aesthetic material (composite resin or dental) or may need a total reconstruction with a pin and a crown.
If you lost a tooth by accident (it came out of the mouth), take it to the dentist as soon as possible.
Avoid touching the tooth at the root and not clean. Store in water or milk until you get to the office. It is possible that the tooth could again be placed in the mouth of the child through a procedure called reimplantation.

Wisdom Teeth or Third Molars
It is known by that name because its eruption in the dental arches corresponds to the period during which our youth are the first signs of mental maturity or sensible behavior. Period is between 18 and 21 years of age. Due to the inconvenience and disruption that often accompanies the process of eruption of the tooth have been better known, discussed and “suffered by the adult population worldwide.”
Eruption disorders are commonly accompanied by inflammatory type, which have as their origin the masticatory trauma to the area. Often seen accompanied by an infectious process that make the most annoying and make treatment more complex.
Wrongly, is regarded as a tooth of defective constitution, following the belief that suffers frequent caries during the eruption, that while this is true, is not due to weakness of the tooth structure but with conditions of poor hygiene at which it is subject during that period and later on, due to its difficult location.

Dental Crown
When a tooth is a root canal (endodontics) and this is very severe destruction of (if tooth decay is not too severe you can reconstruct the crown of the tooth with a traditional restoration (composite, amalgam, etc.) or through an embedding), the only treatment is to make a pin and a crown.
The crown is a restoration totally rigid, her name indicates that due to the high destruction of tooth anatomy is necessary to restore in full.
The crown can different materials:
* Metal (chromium nickel or precious metal alloys (these are the best)).
* Dental Veneers (are made of metal and is visible with porcelain or tooth-colored acrylic, aesthetically not good)
* Porcelain on metal (most used crowns).
* Pure Porcelain (highly aesthetic) alumina or zirconia. They are more esthetic crowns all.
The tooth to tooth structure have not sufficient to constitute a support and retention for the crown is needed on a pin-stump. The post-core is not nothing but an element to return part of the tooth lost anchored inside the ducts of the tooth so we can retain the dental crown on the tooth. Is an intermediary between the root and crown.

Periodontal Treatment Program
What is a periodontal treatment program continued?
Cleaning frequency of mouth is not effective to prevent periodontal disease progression. Multiple studies show that cleaning can not replace the Periodontal Treatment Continued by experts.
Who is part of the team that is responsible for ongoing periodontal treatment?
The computer processor Periodontal Treatment Continued consists of your periodontist and your periodontal hygienist. They are responsible for conducting all necessary procedures to reduce the risk of getting sick again. Their presence is more important how much more severe the disease and increased risk of relapse.
His mouth however, need more care in addition to the gum. It is therefore very important that your dentist is part of this team and make periodic checks to detect caries or other problems.
Once the active phase of periodontal treatment phase is initiated preventive, aiming to avoid the disease becomes active again and keep your gums and bone that surrounds and supports the healthy tooth. This phase is called periodontal treatment continued.
Resin Fillings
Fillings are made of plastic material called composite resin. This material is pliable and once introduced into the cavity solidifies therapeutic and modeling by the action of light.
Advantages:
Its color and texture are similar to natural teeth. Therefore they are more aesthetic and less noticeable than metal fillings. They are compatible with the placement of dental sealants. They adhere to the tooth so no need for cavities as large as NECESSARY TO put the amalgam. For this permit greater conservation of tooth structure.
Disadvantages:
They can be placed on all teeth. Restauracioenes serve small and in areas where the tooth has not withstand high pressures. So, not suitable for large cavities or to restore chewing surfaces.
Controversial resins:
Recently there have been studies linking high levels of estrogen found in blood with the presence of resin fillings in the mouth.

Dental Fillings: Amalgam controversy
Amalgam controversy:
From the beginning he has questioned the effect of mercury in health, both the patient and the dental staff.
Mercury, an essential component of amalgams, is a highly toxic metal in all its forms (ions, fumes). This mercury is going to evolve into the oral cavity as a result of the dissolution of amalgam particles in saliva, citrus juices, carbonated beverages and chewing forces. Besides small electric currents are created between the metal particles microfracture favor of amalgamation.
These effects have made a study of the effects of amalgam on health. Currently, dental amalgam has been associated with symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, insomnia, mood swings, compulsive behaviors and even depression.
Other studies find that the amount of mercury that is clear to the mouth is minimal so it is very unlikely to have deleterious effects on human health.
Consideration is being given the benefit that the removal of amalgam has on several neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis, although the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of the United States finds no link between amalgam and multiple sclerosis and do not recommend its replacement as a palliative method disease.
Metal Fillings
Are amalgam fillings and are made of a mixture of mercury with silver and other metals such as zinc, copper, tin … which vary according to preparation. These mixtures are called alloys.
This Gives A “pasta” metálicacon Which fills the cavity of the tooth and placed eleven That solidifier. It Used For over 150 years and has Posed a great solution to keep teeth Affected by decay.
Advantages:
It has excellent physical properties, fits the prepared cavity in the tooth by condensation, and this hardening by crystallization. Preparation is a very durable and resistant.
Disadvantages:
Because of its metallic color are unattractive, not adhere to the tooth so the dentist needs to prepare cavities with a special retention form and all have mercury in their composition, metal that is toxic, but without which we could create the amalgam. On the other hand, galvanic currents occurring between the dissimilar metals placed in the mouth.
