Treatments Managing Dental Anxiety: Dental Anxiety exists in many people due to various reasons. You may have heard of a friend or family going through a procedure or experienced it yourselves. It is possible to educate a patient and help them overcome the fear as most commonly it is the “fear of unknown” which makes it difficult to cross the barrier to receive appropriate dental treatment. Dental Implants: They can be used to replace single or multiple teeth and in fact are a very convenient way of stabilizing your old denture which keeps flopping in your mouth. Titanium has a unique property by which the metal roots form a bony bridge with the surrounding natural bone. They are also known to prevent further bone loss and therefore useful in preserving bone going forward into old age. When the implant is placed in the jaw, it integrates in a matter of 3-6 months at which point it starts behaving like a part of your own body. Wisdom Teeth Removal: Adults normally have 32 teeth and wisdom teeth (3rd molars) are the last to come through at the back of the mouth. Normally there are 4 wisdom teeth, one in each side of the upper and lower jaw. If the jaws are too small to accommodate all the teeth, there may not be enough space for the wisdom teeth to come through properly and they become impacted (stuck), often causing problems. There is great variation in the difficulty of removing wisdom teeth. The procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia (injection in the gum to numb the area), with or without intravenous sedation (injection in the arm or hand to reduce anxiety), or under general anaesthetic (completely asleep in a hospital). Laser Treatment: Dental Lasers have been around for good few years. They are very useful in simplifying certain dental procedures which improves the outcomes and make them more effective. At Ochilview you can see and experience the Epic X which is an advanced diode laser in use. This gives many benefits to patient with appropriate indication.
