All on 4 Dental Implants

The ‘All on 4’ dental implant is a placement of four implants into the jawbone to anchor a fixed denture. This treatment is ideal for individuals who are fully edentulous or those who have lost some teeth, with the remaining dentition in compromised condition. The ‘All on 4’ approach can be applied to both upper and lower jaws, offering patients a heightened sense of confidence and a more seamless transition to their new teeth compared to removable alternatives.

The merits of the ‘All on 4’ treatment are as follows:

  • Expedited procedure: Dental implant surgery and denture placement can often be accomplished within the same day, with occasional exceptions necessitating 2-3 days for additional bone grafting. 
  • This allows patients to promptly resume their daily routines.
  • Minimal invasiveness: The utilization of only four dental implants obviates the need for multiple surgeries. This reduces the likelihood of complications and circumvents extensive bone grafting procedures.
  • Enhanced functionality: The integration of implants with the jawbone affords dentures exceptional stability, enabling patients to chew with considerable force and experience a sensation akin to natural teeth.
  • Cost-effective: This approach is generally more economical than a full-mouth dental implant procedure.
  • Unwavering stability: Dentures remain securely in place during eating and speaking, alleviating concerns of slippage or displacement.
  • Convenience: The need for removal is infrequent.

Furthermore, ‘All on 4’ dental implants are well-suited for individuals who are fully edentulous or possess only a few remaining teeth, effectively replacing the entirety of the dentition. This affords patients the ability to eat with assurance and enjoy an elevated quality of life.

However, there are certain limitations to consider with ‘All on 4’ dental implants, including a potentially higher cost compared to removable dentures and contraindications for individuals with specific health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or congenital disorders. If you are contemplating the ‘All on 4’ dental implant procedure, it is imperative to seek a consultation with a specialized dentist for a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health and a personalized treatment recommendation.

Leaving toothache untreated may lead to inflammation and severe infection that can spread to the bloodstream.

This leads to other health problems, such as throat infection, sinus infection, and pericarditis.

Toothache causes pain in the teeth or the surrounding area. Toothache mostly results from tooth decay that injures pulp, wisdom teeth, cracked teeth, or gum disease. The pain will not go away on its own without treating the cause. Therefore, when toothache occurs, it is best to see a dentist to receive proper diagnosis and treatment.

Causes of toothache

  • Tooth decay
  • Wisdom teeth
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Dental abrasion that goes deep down to the pulp
  • Gum disease
  • Inflammation of tissue inside the pulp
  • Inflammation of the innermost tissue of a tooth which causes pus
  • Buildup of food particles in the space between teeth, which causes the surrounding gum to be inflamed, leading to a buildup of bacteria
  • Toothache in kids as a tooth is growing
  • Muscle pain in the jawbone area as a result of clenching teeth while sleeping
  • Tooth injury

There are two types of toothache:

  1. Temporary toothache that goes away on its own: This is mostly triggered by certain factors, such as eating cold or hot food, and chewing. The pain will go away on its own when getting rid of the triggers. This kind of toothache tends to cause sharp pain that may occur together with sensitivity of teeth. The disorder is mostly caused by tooth decay or tooth fracture that goes deep down to an inner layer of a tooth, cold or hot temperature, and chewing. These factors stimulate the nerves in the pulp more than usual, which may lead to toothache. It can be treated with dental rehabilitation together with a toothpaste that reduces tooth sensitivity.
  2. Throbbing toothache: It can occur on its own without triggers, and mostly at night. Eating hot food will worsen the pain, but eating cold food or chewing may also trigger the symptom. This kind of pain will persist even if there is no longer the trigger. It may occur together with swelling of or pus in the gum near the aching tooth. Throbbing toothache is more severe than the first type of pain because the decay has already gone deep down to the pulp. That is why it needs to be treated with root canal treatment together with dental rehabilitation.
  • Don’t ignore “toothache” – See a dentist right away

When toothache occurs, it is best to see a doctor to find the cause and have the disorder treated based on the symptoms and cause of the disease. If left untreated, the pain may grow worse and cause a swollen gum or oral cavity. This will make treatment harder and tooth extraction necessary.

  • Take care of oral health to reduce chance of toothache

Toothache mostly results from tooth decay. That is why taking care of oral health is highly recommended to reduce the chance of developing toothache by brushing teeth correctly at least twice a day as well as regularly seeing a dentist to receive an oral health checkup.

Scurvy: What Disorders Does It Tell?

Posted on by top

Scurvy may be a disease that most people are familiar with. Apart

from too harsh brushing or using a toothbrush with coarse bristles that injure the gum, scurvy may be caused by:

  • Gum disease: it is a main cause of scurvy that contributes to 90% of the cases. Unhealthy gum can be prevented by regularly receiving a screening test and getting rid of the causes. This includes getting rid of plaque, receiving dental scaling, and getting gum disease treated, for example.
  • Taking anticoagulants, such as aspirin, warfarin, or heparin. That is because gums are full of blood vessels. This makes gums prone to bleeding when taking this kind of medications.
  • Excessive bleeding due to a low blood platelet count or lack of protein that helps in the coagulation of blood.
  • Having a blood disorder, such as white blood cell cancer which is commonly known as leukemia.
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menstruation, which may cause a swollen gum and easy bleeding.

If it’s gum disease, after receiving scaling / root planing and proper oral hygiene care the symptom of bleeding gum will gradually diminish. However, if the bleeding does not stop or occurs frequently even after trying to brush the teeth more properly, one should see a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
