Smile n Shine Hospital: Preventive Dentistry
Preparation and Procedure:
Initial Consultation: During your initial visit, our orthodontist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw. We will discuss your treatment goals and options, including traditional braces or clear aligners.
Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your examination and preferences, we will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan will outline the duration of treatment, expected results, and any necessary preparations.
Placement of Braces or Aligners: If you opt for traditional braces, we will bond the brackets to your teeth and connect them with wires. For clear aligners, we will take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fit aligner trays.
Regular Adjustments: Throughout your treatment, you will visit our clinic regularly for adjustments and progress checks. We will make any necessary modifications to ensure that your teeth are moving according to plan.
Monitoring Progress: Our team will closely monitor your progress and make any adjustments to your treatment plan as needed to achieve optimal results.
Risks:
While preventive dentistry is generally safe and beneficial, there are some potential risks associated with certain procedures or treatments. These risks may include:
- Sensitivity: Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures after dental cleanings or treatments.
- Allergic Reactions: Individuals with allergies to dental materials or medications may experience allergic reactions during or after dental procedures.
- Gum Irritation: In rare cases, dental cleanings or treatments may cause gum irritation or discomfort.
Aftercare:
- Follow-Up Visits: We recommend scheduling regular follow-up visits for routine check-ups and cleanings to maintain the results of your preventive dentistry treatments.
- Home Care: Practicing good oral hygiene habits at home, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using fluoride mouthwash, can help prolong the benefits of preventive dentistry.
- Dietary Recommendations: Our dental team may provide dietary recommendations to minimize the risk of dental decay and gum disease, such as limiting sugary foods and beverages.
- Monitoring: We will monitor your oral health and address any new concerns or issues that may arise, ensuring ongoing care and support for your dental well-being.
