How to repair the holes caused by the recession of the gums

Gum recession is a natural when you get older but its severity depends on many factors. Someone with an advanced and destructive periodontal gum disease are more likely to have gaps much larger as a result of bone loss. There may also be a recession of the gums due to improper use and too vigorous the brush of teeth, gums and pushing exposes the cement dental, tooth layer just below the gum line. There are two specific cosmetic treatments to make the recession look better, but they must be performed by a dentist who has access to a dental laboratory.

Instructions :

Crowns to reduce the appearance of recession

  1. Asks an appointment with your family dentist. When you get to the appointment, the dentist may require panoramic radiographs of your mouth, or FMX, to control the level of the bone. A tooth that has very little bone due to some periodontal or gum disease is not a good candidate for crowns.
  2. Discuss your treatment plan with your dentist. In many cases of periodontal disease, the first step is a gingivectomy. Basically, this involves removing the gum has no bone supporting it. Schedule a second appointment for crowns, if not need to do anything to prepare for them.
  3. Returns to the office to prepare teeth for crowns that were discussed in the appointment. A dental assistant will take the impression of the opposing arch to establish a bite for the dental laboratory. Since the preparation will go beyond the sensitive tooth to the dental cement, you may need more anesthesia.
  4. Relax as you can while the dentist prepares teeth for crowns. This is done with a diamond tip around in a hand piece high speed is quite involved. Once the preparations are made, the dentist will pack what is called retraction cord, a wire coated with epinephrine placed between the gum and tooth. This will relax the gum and allow the dentist takes an impression of the range where the crown and the tooth will meet.
  5. Allows the dentist to make a final impression using a material called hydrocolloid that starts while hot and cooled in the patient’s mouth. The dentist can also use a printing material called polyvinyl Sloane. This is a putty-like material. Both are good materials to create accurate impressions crowns.
  6. Sit and cooperates while the dentist or dental assistant will place temporary acrylic crowns (that look like real teeth). They will remain in your mouth during the time that passes between the preparation for crowns and placement. The doctor and patient work together to choose the right shade that matches the rest of the teeth.
  7. Returns to the office for placement of crowns. Will surely apply anesthesia, given the depth to which the preparation reaches to the most sensitive portion of the tooth under the gum. The dental assistant will remove the temporary crown and, one at a time, the dentist will test and adjust the crowns. Once you look the way the dentist and the patient want, the wizard will mix the cement and crowns one to one will be placed. Once the cement has dried, the excess will be removed from outside of each crown.
  8. Take the mirror you get and take a good look at your new crowns. They have built a bit between the teeth to occupy the space previously taken by the recession showing an unattractive portion of the teeth underneath. These crowns extend down into the tooth, creating a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Composite resin fillings to hide the recession 

  1. It allows the dentist or his assistant take x-rays of the teeth to control the recession and bone. The recession that exposes the dental cement can be painful, but not always warrants therapy crowns. In many cases of recession due to wear on the toothbrush, the area sees ax marks on the teeth. The dentist will suggest fillings composite resin to fill these areas to be less conductive of heat and cold and reduce discomfort.
  2. It allows me to give anesthesia in the teeth involved. This will make the treatment much less difficult and minimize painful reaction to cold. A hand piece made of various high-speed lathes will be used to prepare the marks of erosion. An acid etching agent will be used to open the pores and to scrape a little area to receive the filling. After the acid etching is rinsed, the tooth is ready.
  3. Keep your mouth open while dentist covers the tooth with a bonding agent that will help sustain fillings. The bonding agent is hardened with a UV lamp. The patient should not look directly at it because it can cause eye damage. Once membership is complete, the dentist will use a drill to shape and polish the new fillings that should be mixed with natural teeth.
  4. Listen to the dentist when you keep these restorations indicate how not to end up in the same condition they were in. They require special care to ensure a long service life. With any of these treatments, areas of recession again if new habits are formed.
