Don't Ignore Bad Breath, Tijuana, Mexico

Tijuana Dentist Prices

Do you have bad breath (halitosis)? Frankly, it is quite possible for anyone to have bad breath, yet not be aware of it. The reason for this is due to our body own acclimation whereby our noses filter out the odor that lies in the back of our mouth, making it difficult for a person to detect his or her own mouth odor.
To really know whether if you suffer from bad breath, try the following 5 tests and find out if you have bad mouth odor.
  1. Stand in front of the mirror and stick your tongue out as far as possible. If you notice that the very back of your tongue is whitish, it may be a sign that you have bad mouth odor.
  2. Another easy and convenient test you can do anywhere is to lick the back of your hand, wait for the saliva to dry and then smell it. If you smell a bad odor, you may have bad breath.
  3. To test for halitosis, you can also run a piece of dental floss between your back teeth and then smell the floss. If you can smell an odor from a distance, it would be a good indicator of the level of odors that other people might detect when talking with you.
  4. One quick method that dentists use to test for bad breath that you can also try at home is to wipe the top surface of the tongue with a piece of cotton swab and then smelling the odor on the cotton. If the cotton swab also produce a yellowish stain after you wipe your tongue, it's likely you have a high concentration of volatile sulfuric compounds (VSC), an indicator of chronic bad breath.
  5. If possible, one of the best and most honest ways to test whether if you have bad mouth odor is to ask the opinion of someone close to you or whom you can trust. The truth may be ugly but the answer will definitely be an honest one.

Periodontal treatment

Depending upon the degree and type of disease, periodontal treatments will vary. After our dentist and dental hygienist have evaluated your teeth for periodontal disease, they will recommend treatment as appropriate.

What causes Periodontal and Gum Disease?

When the pocket between the gums and the tooth (the sulcus) becomes full of tartar, plaque, and bacteria, it causes irritation to the gums. This is called periodontal disease. Damage to the gums and the jawbone can occur if these irritants stay in the pocket space.The word periodontal literally means "around the tooth."

Benefits of Implant Tech With No Bone Loss

Tijuana Dentist Prices

Without the proper treatment by a dental implant specialist and continued maintenance, the success rates of dental implants are greatly reduced. Complications from dental implants can include inflammation, swelling, tissue loss, bone loss, or even nerve damage to the gums and jaw bone.
Fortunately, there is an implant system, which along with the help of an experienced practitioner, ensures long-term form and aesthetic function. Periodontists have spent the past seven years spreading the word about the implant system, in hopes that the world's dentists and practitioners will adopt the best implant treatment possible.
The design is so unique and successful that all of the world's leading implant manufacturers have cloned this design concept over the last several years. The design preserves bone in the jaw. This is essential when having esthetic tooth replacement in the front of the mouth. If the bone even recedes 2 mm under the gum over time, the overlying gum tissue will recede causing an aesthetic failure.
Since the inception of implantology 35 years ago, dentists have been treating implant patients under the rule that 2 mm of bone resorption within the first year of the procedure is permissible. However, research has shown that over time even 2 mm of bone loss has repercussions, in that the gum tissue loses stability and becomes susceptible to inflammation.
It has virtually no micromovement, is bacteria proofed, prevents bone resorption, and ensures stable and healthy soft tissue in the jaw.
The purpose was to demonstrate whether or not the system meets dentists' and clients' standards of success and is suitable for single tooth replacements, bridge abutments, and retention.
Evaluating nearly 5,500 implants, the study tested for clinical stability, inflammation of hard and soft tissue, bone loss, mucosa loss, and patient satisfaction. The results found a 98.7% success for restoration and 97.9% success for end-implant restoration; a 97.3% success rate where there was a large gap involved; and a 95.8% success rate when involving reduced dentition.
Periodontists' patients can live a life without worrying about their implants. Their patients don't have to worry about infection or long-term bone loss, and it looks so natural that they have little self-consciousness about their implants. They can only hope every dentist adopts this system as the periodontists at their practice have.

Sleep Apnea Dentist Mexico

If I were to tell many sleep apnea patients that a dentist could help them, many would just turn round and say, "What are you, crazy?" But the truth is that these professionals have helped many sufferers with their condition. They are especially useful when used as part of a multi-disciplinary team to manage the condition. And in some areas you will actually find specialist sleep apnea dentists. So what can they do for you?

A specialist dentist or orthodontist can use oral appliances to move the position of the jaw and tongue to overcome some of the problems associated with obstructive sleep apnea. This is the most common type of sleep apnea and occurs when the airway is blocked by the soft tissues at the back of the throat. This leads to the person stopping breathing for short periods during the night, called apneas. These periods can last 10-20 seconds and occur many times throughout the night.

Disturbed sleep and daytime tiredness are two of the features of this condition. But sleep partners will be all too aware of one of the other symptoms of the disorder - loud snoring. It is not uncommon that a whole household has their sleep disturbed because of this.

There are two types of device that a sleep apnea dentist may use to overcome this problem. The first is a mandibular advancement device and the other is a tongue-retaining device.

Mandibular advancement devices move the jaw forward. This also moves with it the tongue and soft tissues at the back of the throat. This makes it less likely that the airway will be obstructed. These devices are made of acrylic or thermoplastic and are individually made to suit the patient. A tongue-retaining device has a compartment where the tongue is held by suction. This maybe useful for patients that have few or no teeth.

These appliances can be effective for overcoming snoring as well as sleep apnea. The best chances of success tend to be for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.

As with using other medical devices there can be a period of adjustment that is necessary by the patient. This can be due to aching or pain in the jaw and either a dry mouth or increased salivation. Talk these issues over with your sleep apnea dentist so that you can both come to a solution that works best for you.
