What causes teeth discoloration?

  • Tea, coffee and red wine contain intense pigments which stick to your enamel,causing discoloration
  • Smoking or chewing tobacco have high contents of tar and nicotine, which leaves very dark and stubborn red-brown or yellow stains
  • As ageing occurs, constant wear and tear takes place and enamel wears off, exposing the underlying yellow dentin layer
  • Trauma causing injury to pulp or dentin.
  • Certain medications and genetic disorders
  • Grinding or clenching of teeth,which erodes enamel

 

How does teeth  whitening work ?

Teeth whitening is a simple process employed to whiten the teeth using hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide or sodium perborate as bleaching agents.

Teeth whitening can be done by in-office bleaching technique and At-home bleaching technique.

In office bleaching teachnique is done by dental professionals and can be done by laser bleaching or chemical bleaching. The process usually requires one visit and is only repeated if the patient desires even brighter shade. The dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your teeth, let it settle for sometime and wash it off. For at-home bleaching , the dentist takes impressions of your upper and lower arches and fabricate customised trays and night guards for you. Patient is provided with the bleaching agent/whitening strips which patients can use at home, as guided by the dentist.

For whitening non-vital teeth, bleaching agents are placed inside the root canal.

What are active dental implants?

Active implants are unique dental implants that allow the doctors to extract the teeth and perform an immediate surgical placement of the implant on the same sitting, providing the patient with immediate prosthesis which is functionally and aesthetically acceptable. Popular for their unique design, active implants provide high primary stability and improved aesthetics.

The design:

It has expanding tapered implant body which fuses with the bone easily.  At the apex, it is incorporated with drilling blades and reverse cutting flutes that ensures minimal trauma and maximum conservation of the bone. Hence usable even in cases where bone density is compromised. Drilling blades also makes the orientation and manual insertion of the implant easier for optimal placement. Back-tapered coronal design provides maximum bone volume and improves soft tissue support, which in turn provides better aesthetics.

These implants can be placed in narrow spaces also, where conventional implants could not be placed. There have been claims that healing is faster when active implants are used

HOW IS HORMONAL IMBALANCE LINKED WITH GUM DISEASE?

Gum disease can occur at any age but is more profound in middle age, especially in women. Hormonal imbalance is one of the factors that cause receding gum line. As aging of the teeth occur, it affects the surrounding gum tissue causing recession of the gums. This is aggravated during menopause. A number of studies indicate relation between fluctuating estrogen levels and oral health. Hormonal fluctuation leads to inflammation of the gingival/ gum tissue. Low estrogen levels cause weakening of jawbones and teeth, leading to gum recession. Bleeding gums also occur due to hormonal imbalance along with a compromised immunity, as estrogen hormone regulates our immune system.

What approaches are to be taken in order to assuage the deterioration of oral health?

A modification in your lifestyle is important for healthy oral tissues. A balanced diet, intake of calcium consisting foods and foods consisting vitamin A and Vitamin C is essential. Calcium leads to a healthy jawbone and vitamin C renders an efficient immune system, leading to reduced gum inflammation and recession as well as an ability to fight the oral bacteria causing deterioration of the oral health. Hormone regulating supplements could be taken. In case of aggressive gum disease due to hormonal imbalance, Hormonal Replacement Therapy could be the last resort. The most important approach is maintain an exceptional oral hygiene, visit the dentist for a regular cleaning because greater the accumulation of tartar, greater the recession.
