Excellent dental implants dental clinic Hampstead
Endodontist dentist Hampstead today? Why do I have to give a medical history when I attend the dentist? The dentist not only needs to check the health of your head and neck and inside of your mouth but is also assessing your overall health. This includes your past and current medical history, any allergies or chronic medical conditions and any medication you might be taking. Letting the dentist know what medication you are on is important as some medications have an effect on the treatment that the dentist prescribes. For example, some medications cause your glands to produce less saliva causing “dry-mouth”. This can increase the risk of decay for some people as the plaque is more likely to dry on the teeth rather than be washed away by saliva. The dentist and hygienist can advise ways to reduce such risks and a full medical history can help them to assist you.

Is gum disease a factor? Periodontal, or gum disease, affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. It is caused by sticky plaque and hard deposits of tartar. It happens when teeth and gums are not kept clean enough. Without regular cleaning the gums will come away from the tooth creating pockets around the teeth where food and plaque can collect. Pockets are difficult to keep clean and gum disease will get worse if no treatment is not carried out. The next stage of the disease will involve loosing the bone that supports the teeth and the teeth will become loose until they will have to be taken out. Severe gum disease can be an inherited factor or an indicator of problems with general health.
As you age, your teeth can become discoloured due to a huge number of different causes. Tea, coffee, red wine and spicy foods can all stain your teeth, and there are many other things can cause your teeth to become discoloured which can’t be fixed by simple tooth whitening. Discolouration from root canal treatment, certain medications or large resin fillings will not be affected by traditional whitening treatments, as these procedures can only bring your tooth to its lightest natural shade.
A comprehensive report and treatment plan will be written out for you clearly detailing clinical and aesthetic problems, treatment solutions and options, treatment appointment sequencing and duration and estimated costs. This ensures you are perfectly satisfied with all aspects of the recommended treatment, and that it meets with all your needs and wishes. There is no obligation to proceed with dental treatments at this stage. Dr Sanei is more than happy for you to take time to read through your report and treatment plan at home before deciding. At Dental Perfection, you can also book a further complimentary visit after your initial examination to ask any questions. Dr Sanei would be delighted to explain his recommendations to you by email, phone or during a second complimentary discussion appointment to make sure you are fully aware of the findings, the benefits of treatment and successful outcomes.
