Concern) Gap between teeth after implant[5]
I had to get implants at a relatively young age because my teeth were decayed, but after getting them, I realize they are not really my own teeth, so there seem to be many things I need to be careful about. Especially, a single implant seems to have a wider gap between teeth, causing food to get stuck easily. So, it seems that enoki mushrooms and vegetable side dishes are especially eaten with caution. Otherwise, people just don't eat them. Are there any others like this after getting an implant? Or is it just me... But I can't do the expensive implant again!! I'm also curious about how you manage after getting an implant.

These days, I can't eat food. Food gets stuck between my teeth, and I feel like I might die. They say it's because my gums are weak and my teeth are moving. Is there any good solution?
윤이23.04.30Views 105Likes 0 The basics of dental care is scaling~~~^^
Scaling, considered the foundation of dental care, is a crucial treatment that removes hard plaque that cannot be cleaned by brushing alone. It is typically performed using an instrument that utilizes fine ultrasonic vibrations to gently detach plaque and stains attached to the tooth surface. It is a valuable procedure that safely removes only the factors causing gum inflammation, without grinding down or damaging the teeth. You are usually advised that the ideal frequency for scaling is about once or twice a year. However, if you are a smoker or have a constitution where tartar forms particularly quickly, it is recommended to receive treatment more frequently, at intervals of 3 to 6 months. In particular, those with weak gums that frequently swell and bleed should shorten the interval and receive regular care to prevent periodontal disease. Since the appropriate timing for dental care varies depending on individual oral health and saliva composition, we recommend undergoing regular dental checkups to determine the schedule that works best for you. We hope you can prevent gum disease through regular scaling and maintain healthy, strong teeth for a long time. Wishing you a day filled with only good things, and may you always have a healthy and happy day.
바다사랑태양26.07.03Views 13Likes 0 This is a question about teeth grinding and tooth damage.[1]
I heard from my family that I grind my teeth while sleeping, and indeed, there are times when my jaw feels stiff in the morning. I am wondering if teeth grinding causes tooth wear or cracks. I have heard that mouthpieces or Botox treatments are helpful, and I would like to know the difference in effectiveness. I am also wondering if improvement is possible even if the teeth are already worn down. I would like to know what problems can arise if teeth grinding is left untreated. I am also wondering if teeth grinding during sleep can be completely cured.

이하린26.07.02Views 18Likes 1 [Health Column] What Should You Do If Your Temporary Implant Teeth Fall Out on a Weekend or Holiday?[4]
Hello! I am Lee Hyun-seop, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. If a temporary implant tooth suddenly falls out on a Saturday evening, Sunday, or public holiday, anyone would likely panic and worry, thinking something terrible has happened. However, in most cases, if only the temporary tooth has come off, there is no need to be too alarmed. Today, I will explain step-by-step how to properly handle the situation without panicking if your temporary tooth falls out on a weekend or holiday. For your reference, Seoul Centum Dental Clinic is open every day from Monday to Sunday, except for the day of the holiday, so you can rest assured! (Source: AI Image) 🔹 What should I check first? First, check whether the missing part is the 'temporary tooth' or the 'implant itself'. 💡 Just a moment! > In most cases, only the temporary prosthesis detaches. Please rest assured that the implant body (fixture) inside the gum bone does not come out easily! If the pain is not severe and the metal part inside the gum is clearly visible, it is highly likely that only the temporary tooth has fallen out. 🔹 Why do temporary teeth fall out so easily? This is because a weak adhesive is used so that it can be removed before the final prosthesis is attached. Temporary teeth are not the final prosthetics. In most cases, they are attached with specialized temporary cement so that they can be easily removed later. As a result, it may fall out more easily than expected if subjected to tough or sticky foods, or repeated strong chewing force. In fact, if you attach it too strongly, it can become very difficult to remove later when inserting the final prosthesis. 🔹 What should I do if I miss a weekend or public holiday? Please do not panic and make sure to follow the four safety rules below. 📌 ① Do not throw away temporary teeth! If you gently rinse a fallen temporary tooth with clean water and store it properly in an airtight container before bringing it to the dentist, it can often be reattached. ⚠️ ② Absolutely do not attach it yourself! Occasionally, some patients come in having attached the prosthesis themselves using super glue or regular adhesive, but this is extremely dangerous. Please absolutely avoid this, as it can damage the prosthesis or allow the adhesive to seep into the gums, making treatment much more difficult. 📌 ③ Please eat on the opposite side! It is best to avoid using the treated area as much as possible. Soft foods such as porridge, eggs, tofu, and yogurt are recommended, and please avoid hard or chewy foods. 📌 ④ Please be sure to maintain oral hygiene! You should brush your teeth as usual, but please clean the area where the tooth is missing gently without scrubbing hard to prevent plaque from building up. 🔹 Is it okay to go to the dentist in a few days? If possible, it is best to visit as soon as possible without delaying it. Temporary teeth are not simply worn for aesthetic purposes; they play the following important roles. 🔸 Maintaining gum shape 🔸 Prevents movement of surrounding teeth 🔸 Maintaining space for the final prosthesis 🔸 Authoring Function Assistance If left empty for a long time, the gums may change shape or surrounding teeth may gradually shift, potentially resulting in the final prosthesis, which was carefully prepared, no longer fitting. 🔹 Should I visit the dentist sooner in these cases? It may not be a simple fallout, so you should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms. ⚠️ We recommend seeking medical attention as soon as possible if you experience the following symptoms. ✔ When you feel like the implant is also loose ✔ When severe pain or bleeding persists ✔ When the gums swell noticeably ✔ When pus comes out or there is a strong odor ✔ When the metal part inside the gum moves along with it 🔹 How should I care for temporary teeth so they don't fall out again? You can prevent temporary teeth from falling out with just small changes to your daily habits. You need to take a little more care of your temporary teeth than usual while using them. ✨ Avoid tough foods ✨ Reduce sticky foods ✨ Do not bite on ice ✨ Do not chew excessively in only one direction ✨ Reduce the habit of clenching your teeth ❔ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Can I reuse a temporary tooth if I bring it in even if it breaks? A1. If the temporary tooth has come off cleanly, it can be reattached immediately after lightly cleaning and bringing it in. Even if it is damaged, it is recommended to gather the pieces and bring them in, as the dental clinic needs to check the condition and either modify or remake it. Q2. Food keeps getting stuck in the spot where the temporary tooth fell out. Is it okay to poke around? A2. If you forcefully poke at the missing tooth with a toothpick or similar object, it may cause injury to the gums or increase the risk of infection. We recommend brushing your teeth gently, maintaining oral hygiene through light gargling, and visiting a dentist as soon as possible. 📌 Conclusion Losing a temporary implant tooth is a more common occurrence than you might think during the treatment process. The important thing is not to panic and try to solve it yourself with super glue or the like. Please keep the temporary tooth in its container, avoid chewing food on the treated area, and visit the dentist as soon as your schedule allows to have it checked by the medical staff.

이현섭 원장26.07.01Views 63Likes 3 I received a consultation for orthodontics at [Bible Dental Clinic]. The clinic's management was impressive.[6]
While considering orthodontic treatment and researching various dental clinics, I received a consultation at Bible Dental Clinic. The first thing that caught my eye was the clinic's cleanliness. The waiting area, consultation room, and treatment rooms were all neatly maintained, and I could feel that they paid great attention to hygiene. Even though it was my first visit, I was left with a trustworthy impression. The staff were generally friendly as well. They responded calmly from the reception to guiding me to the consultation room, and when I asked questions, they explained each one in detail, allowing me to receive the consultation without feeling pressured. The hospital atmosphere itself was quiet and well-organized, which greatly reduced my nervousness. After thoroughly examining my tooth alignment and occlusion, the doctor explained the appropriate orthodontic method and estimated duration in an easy-to-understand manner. Rather than insisting that I absolutely needed braces, they compared the pros and cons of each treatment method, which instilled confidence in me and allowed me to fully resolve any questions I had. The cost information was provided relatively transparently, and I felt comfortable because there was no excessive pressure to get me to do anything. However, it was a bit disappointing that the consultation started a little later than scheduled, perhaps because there were many other people receiving consultations. I also felt that it would have been more helpful to visualize the treatment results if you had shown a wider variety of before-and-after photos. Overall, Bible Dental Clinic was the most satisfying dental clinic for its clean and hygienic environment and friendly service. Although there was a slight waiting time and I wished there had been a wider variety of consultation materials, the consultation was thorough and the atmosphere was comfortable, so it was a generally satisfying visit.

I received a teeth whitening consultation at Seoul Teheran Dental Clinic. These days, many celebrities get teeth whitening done, and I see a lot of ordinary people getting it too. I had braces so my teeth are straight, but I was always worried about my yellow teeth. I had a consultation at Seoul Teheran Dental Clinic, and they told me that veneers involve grinding down the teeth and attaching artificial ones. The very idea of grinding down teeth filled me with fear, but it was a new experience to hear that there are ways to whiten them using professional whitening agents without grinding them down. I mentioned beforehand that I wasn't planning to make an immediate decision after the consultation, but rather visited because I wanted professional advice since I had always been worrying alone. As a result, they didn't pressure me with any offers and made the consultation feel comfortable.

눈부신날26.06.24Views 42Likes 2 [Health Column] Do I Really Need an Implant Just Because I Lost a Tooth? Changes That Can Occur If Neglected[3]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 👋 When I see patients in the clinic, I very frequently receive the question, "I lost a molar, but I can manage my daily life right now. Do I really need an implant?" Since there isn't much discomfort from missing a tooth or two when chewing on the other side, many people tend to put off treatment. However, teeth are not independent entities but a structure that pushes and supports each other to form a single perfect balance. Even if it looks fine for now, leaving the empty space unattended for a long time can trigger unexpected domino effects within the oral cavity. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way what happens when you leave a missing tooth untreated! ✨ 1️⃣ It's just one missing tooth; will it really not be uncomfortable at first? 🦷 For now, you may not feel any inconvenience as you can work on the opposite side. 🔹 It is simply the process of the body adapting to discomfort. Losing a single tooth does not immediately cause extreme changes, such as being unable to eat at all or having your pronunciation twisted. 🙅♂️ Especially when a molar is missing, people naturally chew food using only the healthy teeth on the opposite side and often think, "Oh? Life is better than I thought?" 🔹 Examples of real-life situations Ever since I lost my right molar, I've been unconsciously chewing all my food only on the left side. Since I wasn't in pain right away, I kept putting off my dental appointment until next month. 📌 It is not that you are not uncomfortable; rather, your body may be forcing itself to adapt to adverse conditions. Do not let your guard down! ⚠️ (Source: AI Image) 2️⃣ What happens to the surrounding teeth if the empty space is left for a long time? 🦷 The teeth on both sides tilt into the empty space, and the interlocking teeth shift. 🔹 The balance of teeth collapsing like dominoes The teeth in the oral cavity are closely packed together without gaps to maintain balance. Just as the whole system wobbles when a single gear is missing, when a gap forms, the surrounding teeth begin to move to fill that space. 📉 The teeth on both sides tilt toward the empty space, and the opposing teeth lose their support and sink up or rise up. 🔹 Changes that occur gradually over several months to years This change is not visible overnight. However, over several months to years, the entire set of teeth gradually becomes misaligned. 3️⃣ Does the habit of chewing on only one side affect the jaw joint? 🦷 Repeated unilateral chewing leads to jaw muscle imbalance and strain on the temporomandibular joint. 🔹 Excessive overload applied to only one side of the jaw If 'unilateral chewing,' where you chew food on only one side to avoid the side without teeth, becomes a habit, you end up overusing specific jaw muscles. 🏋️ This becomes the main cause of disrupting the balance of the jaw joint. 🔹 Symptoms actually experienced Among those visiting the dentist, there are some who say, "Strangely, lately only one side of my jaw feels stiff, and I hear a clicking sound every time I open my mouth." 🗣️ Upon examining the cause, it is not uncommon to find that delaying treatment for past tooth loss has snowballed back to haunt them. 4️⃣ How does the invisible gum bone change? 🦷 The area where the tooth is missing does not receive stimulation, so the gum bone gradually shrinks. 🔹 Bone resorption that decreases the longer it is left untreated The alveolar bone maintains its volume and health only when teeth are firmly embedded and receive the force (masticatory pressure) generated when chewing food. However, if a tooth is lost and no further stimulation is transmitted, our body determines that the bone in that area is no longer needed and initiates bone resorption, in which the height and thickness of the bone gradually decrease. 📌 It is like the process of the land (soil) where trees are planted gradually drying out and eroding away. As time passes, this loss accelerates even further! ⚠️ 5️⃣ Will it be more difficult to get implants later? 🦷 If gum bone becomes insufficient, additional treatments such as bone grafting become necessary, placing a heavy burden on the patient. 🔹 Simple treatment turns into high-difficulty surgery Even in cases where implantation was relatively easy immediately after extraction because the gum bone was strong, the difficulty of treatment changes completely if the tooth is left untreated for a long time and the bone has completely dissolved. 🛑 Additional regenerative treatments, such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lift, may be essential to fill in the lack of bone. 🔹 Increasing treatment duration and financial burden As a result, a process that could have been completed in a single step expands into multiple stages, extending the overall treatment period and significantly increasing the financial burden. This is why it is wisest to seek consultation without missing the appropriate timing. 💰 6️⃣ Is dentures alone sufficient as an alternative? 🦷 Dentures are a good option, but there are differences in terms of stability and chewing sensation. 🔹 You need to make a choice that suits the situation and oral environment. When multiple teeth are lost over a wide range, dentures can be an economical and excellent alternative to prosthetic treatment. However, since it is a detachable structure, there is the inconvenience of having to periodically adjust it to fit the gums while using it. 🔹 Fixation similar to natural teeth On the other hand, since implants directly fix the artificial root to the gum bone, you can expect excellent chewing sensation and stability that are in no way inferior to natural teeth. Rather than assuming that one treatment is unconditionally correct, the decision must be made after carefully considering the condition of the remaining teeth and the overall oral environment. 7️⃣ What is the most important point when you lose a tooth? 🦷 The key is to get an accurate checkup without missing the timing, rather than rushing unconditionally. 🔹 Indefinite neglect is the behavior to be avoided most. It is not necessarily best to get an implant on the same day as tooth extraction. Depending on the individual's gum inflammation, there may be times when you need to wait. However, leaving it untreated indefinitely without a plan is a shortcut to ruining your oral health. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis of your current bone condition and whether you are causing harm to surrounding teeth, and to determine the right timing. 🔹 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been living with a missing molar for over a year. Would it be too late to go to the dentist now? A1. Now is the best time to visit! 🏃♂️ Since subtle tooth movement or bone resorption may be in progress after about a year, it is important to accurately check the current condition of surrounding teeth and gum bone through X-ray imaging and establish an appropriate prosthetic plan. Q2. Is bone grafting mandatory for everyone during implant surgery? A2. No! If you have recently had a tooth extracted or have naturally abundant and firm gum bone, implant placement is possible without a bone graft. However, as mentioned in the text, if the bone has eroded due to being left untreated for a long period, a bone graft may be required for stabilization. 👋 Q3. The cost of implants is a burden right now. Can I use dentures for now and switch to implants later? A3. Yes, it is possible. However, even while using dentures for a long time, bone resorption gradually occurs as the dentures press against the gums. If the bone structure has become too low when you eventually switch to implants, the difficulty of the surgery may increase, potentially requiring a larger amount of bone graft material. Therefore, we recommend discussing a long-term plan with a specialist. 😊 🔸 Conclusion Neglecting a tooth with the mindset that "it's just one tooth" can lead to changes in tooth alignment, gum bone loss, strain on the jaw joint, and reduced chewing function, ultimately causing overall oral collapse. 📉 Even if you feel fine after tooth extraction, you must be aware that the bone beneath your gums and your alignment are continuously changing invisibly. Every patient has different oral bone volume and dental alignment. The best way to protect your precious dental health without expanding the scope of treatment is to find a trusted medical professional for an accurate examination before it is too late. 🩺 ✨ A little attention now and early check-ups can significantly reduce the duration and cost of future treatment. Don't hesitate to check your oral health first!

민트홀릭26.06.23Views 44Likes 7 [Health Column] I've already had veneers; is it possible to get braces?[3]
Hello, this is Director Oh Su-hwan of Smile D Dental Clinic. There are many people who previously received veneers for a beautiful smile but are now concerned as their teeth have gradually become misaligned over time. I want to receive orthodontic treatment again, but, "Do I have to remove all the existing veneers?", "What about the cost and pain?" There are quite a few cases where people feel anxious, saying things like that. Today, I will provide clear solutions for each case regarding whether orthodontic treatment is possible even with veneers. So, shall we start by addressing the key question that many of you are curious about? 🤔 1️⃣ Do I absolutely have to remove braces after veneers? ✨ It is reasonable to accurately diagnose the current situation and proceed selectively with only the necessary parts. To start with the conclusion, having veneers does not mean that orthodontic treatment is impossible. However, the treatment strategy simply varies depending on the patient's dental condition. We must accurately diagnose the condition rather than unconditionally removing the entire tooth. One example is a case where the laminate prosthesis itself is firmly attached, but only the lower teeth are slightly misaligned. ⚠️ Rather than blindly removing all the prosthetics, Please consult a specialist first to see if there are any parts that can be preserved. The treatment method varies completely depending on the condition. Which category does my tooth fall into? 👇 2️⃣ What are the situational treatment cases that suit me? ✨ It proceeds in three directions depending on the condition of the prosthesis and the purpose of occlusion. 🔸 If the laminate is in good condition (conservative correction) If you are satisfied with the color or shape of the existing laminates and there are no significant issues such as fractures, correction is possible while maintaining them. You can attach orthodontic brackets through tooth surface treatment, or correct only the tooth alignment using clear aligners. 🔸 When partial replacement of the laminate is required This is a case where you are dissatisfied because part of your tooth is fractured or your gums are in poor condition. We remove only the problematic laminates and proceed with orthodontic treatment, then fabricate new laminates only for that specific area after the correction. 🔸 Cases where a complete redesign is required It is necessary not just for simple tooth movement, but when the occlusion itself is not harmonious, such as in cases of protruding teeth, open bite, or facial asymmetry. The laminates must be removed to check the original alignment and condition of the teeth. If necessary, the original tooth positions are restored using temporary teeth before proceeding with orthodontic treatment, and finally, the aesthetic prosthetics are redesigned. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. If braces are attached to teeth that have been laminated, won't they fall off easily? A1. Of course, it requires more caution than attaching it to natural teeth. However, since current dental technology allows for sufficient surface treatment to ensure attachment, you do not need to worry too much. Q2. Is more tooth reduction involved when removing laminates? A2. The key is to avoid causing additional damage to teeth that have already been prepared for veneers. We delicately remove existing prosthetics and safely proceed with orthodontic treatment while protecting the teeth using temporary teeth if necessary. Q3. The treatment period and cost are very burdensome. A3. 'Selective redesign' tailored to your oral condition is much more efficient than redoing the entire set. Rather than indiscriminate replacement, it is important to determine the scope of treatment in consultation with a specialist, considering overall facial harmony and functional occlusion. 🎯 Conclusion: A thoughtful choice for a healthy smile 📌 Key Points: Just because your teeth are slightly misaligned, you do not necessarily need to get braces or, conversely, insist on veneers. ✨ To maintain a healthy and attractive smile line even 10 or 20 years from now Clearly understanding the current tooth alignment and occlusion status This is the priority. 🩺 If you are currently concerned about your tooth alignment, we recommend that you consult thoroughly with an orthodontist, including whether you can maintain your veneers. An accurate diagnosis is the first step to achieving satisfactory results.

블루베리26.06.22Views 47Likes 4 Concerns about GI replacement therapy and postpartum dental treatment[1]
I was unable to receive X-rays while pregnant, so I had a temporary dental treatment using GI material, but it fell out after only two weeks. Therefore, I am wondering what alternative treatments are available and what material would be best after childbirth. I would like to hear your opinions regarding the effectiveness and safety of dental treatment. Hello. I am currently pregnant, so I had my tooth temporarily filled with GI material because X-ray examinations are difficult. However, the material fell out after only two weeks, which has caused me a lot of concern. Since medical consultations and treatments are limited during pregnancy, I was wondering if there is a safe and effective alternative. So, I am considering what treatments are available instead of GI, and which material would be appropriate for dental treatment after childbirth. While GI is convenient, I understand that it is temporary and has limited durability. Are there any alternatives that can be used during pregnancy and offer longer-lasting effects? Also, since X-ray checkups become possible after childbirth, permanent treatment will likely be recommended. I am very curious about which material is most effective for dental health and durability. Resin? Ceramic? Or would other prosthetic treatments be better? Since the condition of my teeth can change during pregnancy and childbirth, I would also like to know what specific points I should pay particular attention to. If anyone has had a similar experience or if any dental specialists have an opinion, I would be grateful for your advice regarding safety and effectiveness. During pregnancy, the health of both mother and baby is the top priority, so I have no choice but to be cautious when selecting treatment.
깨개갱26.06.21Views 58Likes 0 Experience with detachment and effectiveness after temporary tooth fillings with GI material[3]
Due to my pregnancy, I am unable to get X-rays and my dental treatment is restricted. I had a temporary tooth filled with a material called GI, but it fell out after only two weeks, so I was worried. In this post, I will honestly share this experience and discuss the effectiveness of GI material. Hello. Since I am currently pregnant, I am unable to have X-rays taken at the dental clinic, which has limited my treatment options. A part of my tooth was damaged, so it was temporarily filled with a material called GI. Honestly, I was curious to see how effective it would be. However, the temporary filling fell out sooner than expected, after just two weeks. I chose GI material because it is convenient for temporarily covering teeth and has low toxicity, making it relatively safe even during pregnancy. However, since it is temporary, its durability and adhesion are inevitably inferior to permanent materials. My dentist also warned me in advance that it might not last long since it is a temporary material, and after experiencing it firsthand, I think they were right. I experienced some slight discomfort after it fell off, but fortunately, there was no severe pain or inflammation. However, I was more worried because getting additional medical treatment was difficult while I am pregnant. Considering the effectiveness of the GI material, I felt that while it is fine for a temporary solution, it would be difficult to endure for a long period. Managing dental health during pregnancy is difficult due to many restrictions on examinations like X-rays, but I feel it is necessary to consult with a dentist consistently and manage my condition, even if cautiously. I also plan to carefully monitor my condition and formulate a treatment plan going forward. I shared my thoughts on the limitations and effects of GI ingredients based on my personal experience, and I hope this serves as a helpful reference for those in similar situations. I wish you all good health and hope you receive safe treatment without overexerting yourself as expectant mothers. Thank you.

I'm worried because my teeth seem to be turning yellow from drinking coffee every day. Dental whitening procedures are too expensive, so I'm thinking of trying whitening toothpaste first. I doubt whether the whitening toothpastes sold in supermarkets or online actually have visible effects. Actually, I'm worried because there are stories of side effects like teeth becoming sensitive due to the surface being shaved down. If you have any products you purchased with your own money that you found effective or products you would recommend, please share your advice.
잭라빈3점팡팡26.06.20Views 58Likes 2 I got a crown to copy a celebrity's teeth, but it didn't suit me at all — Also explains the difference between veneers and Mini-Sy.[6]
I think many of you might be confused about the different types of dental procedures, so I’ve compiled a summary based on my own experience. Crowns, laminates, and Minici are the three representative types. A crown is a method where the entire tooth is ground down 360 degrees and placed over it like a crown. It requires the most tooth reduction. Laminates are applied only to the outer surface; you can think of it as attaching the front side, similar to a nail tip. Minish is similar to laminate, but it is a method of bonding with almost no cutting. Instead, since a thicker layer is attached over the existing teeth, you may feel as though the teeth are moving forward and becoming thicker. I had a crown done. At the time, I took a picture of a celebrity I liked because their teeth were pretty. The result doesn't suit me at all. My face shape and mouth size are different, so even if I tried to copy the tooth shape, it looked different on my face. In the end, I asked them to return my teeth to their original shape. Since I had already ground it down, I couldn't turn it back, so I made it exactly the same and put it on. The most important thing is that once a dental procedure is performed, it can never be reversed. I think it is much more important to have a thorough consultation with your doctor first to determine what kind of teeth suit your face, rather than bringing in a photo of someone else's teeth. There are many cases where natural-looking teeth are actually more attractive. :) Do you guys have a complex about your teeth? I got a procedure done, but I realized later that my natural teeth were actually prettier haha.

:D26.06.19Views 46Likes 0 (Question) Are there possible side effects after orthodontic treatment?[3]
Hello, I finished my orthodontic treatment a few years ago. At the time, my teeth became much more aligned, and I was very satisfied. However, as time went by, I became worried that I might experience side effects later on. When I search online, I see mentions that teeth can shift back into place, gums may recede, or the tooth roots may be affected. I am curious to know the actual extent of this. I have also seen reviews stating that the jaw joint became uncomfortable or that the sensation of chewing changed due to a shift in the bite. I don't have any particular pain right now, but it worries me because sometimes my teeth feel weaker than before. Even though I wear my retainer consistently, could this cause problems later on? For those of you who finished your orthodontic treatment a long time ago, how is your current condition? Did you experience any side effects or discomfort years after the treatment, or is your result being maintained well without any major issues? I would be grateful if you could let me know if there are any specific areas I absolutely need to pay attention to when caring for my teeth after orthodontic treatment. I would appreciate any real-life experiences or advice you can share. Thank you.
메론잉26.06.19Views 72Likes 0 [Health Column] Laminates: How Many Should I Get? How to Find the Right Number for Your Teeth[4]
Hello. This is Dr. Lee Jung-ho, Chief Director of Seoul Dia Dental Clinic. ✨ "How many laminates should I get?" This is one of the most frequently asked questions by people visiting the dental clinic for consultations. However, there isn't actually a single, definitive answer to this question. For some, one is the right answer, for others, four is, and for still others, more. 💡 The key here is! It's not about finding a standard number, but finding the number that fits you perfectly. So, shall we go through the criteria for determining the right number of laminates for you, one by one? 1. How many teeth are problematic? This is the most basic standard. 📌 🔸 What if you only have one discolored tooth? Just one might be enough. 🔸 On the other hand, what if your entire front teeth are uneven? You might need several. As such, the number and location of the problematic teeth serve as the first criterion. 2. How well does it harmonize with the surrounding teeth? This is where the really important part begins! ✨ Let's assume you get just one laminate. If that single piece blends naturally with the surrounding teeth in color, shape, and size, one is sufficient. ⚠️ However, if the surrounding teeth are too dark or significantly different in shape, doing just one might actually make it stand out too much. 📌 In such cases, treating a few surrounding teeth together results in a much more natural overall outcome. ✔ The reason for increasing the number may not be to gain more profit, but to achieve a more natural result. 3. How far do your teeth extend when you smile? How many teeth can you see when you smile naturally and widely? 😊 Usually, about 6 to 8 of the front teeth are the most visible when smiling. 📌 When getting veneers, it is really important to maintain balance within the visible range when smiling. Let's take an example. If you have six teeth visible when you smile but only get veneers on two of them, it may look awkward because the color and shape differ from the other four. ⚠️ Conversely, there is absolutely no need to unnecessarily increase the number to the point where it is not visible when smiling. 4. What is the current state of your tooth occlusion? How the teeth interlock (occlusion) also has a significant impact on determining the number. 🦷 📌 If there are occlusion problems: Increasing the number and adjusting them together can sometimes produce better results. 📌 In cases of good occlusion: It is much better for tooth preservation to remove only the necessary teeth and minimize the number. 🔹 Is it really necessary to do a lot to make it good? That is absolutely not the correct answer! ❌ It is true that having more pieces makes it easier to match the color and shape with surrounding teeth and relatively easier to maintain the results. However, that absolutely does not mean that everyone needs a large number. ⚠️ Recommending 8 to someone who needs 1 is not a choice for the patient's benefit. Laminates are a treatment that is difficult to reverse once performed. Therefore, they must be precisely designed to be exactly what is needed. Because that is the correct treatment for the true patient. 🤝 🎯 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I heard that laminates should be done in even numbers, but is it okay to do them in odd numbers? A1. Since left-right symmetry is considered based on the midline of the front teeth, an even number of teeth often looks more natural. However, if the number of discolored or damaged teeth is odd, such as one or three, that number alone is sufficient. The important thing is how naturally they blend with the surrounding teeth. Q2. The number recommended varies at every dental clinic I consulted. Why is that? A2. The recommended number of veneers may vary because diagnostic criteria and treatment philosophies differ from dental clinic to clinic. Consulting thoroughly at several places and comparing the options is a good way to find the number that is perfect for you. 🔸 Conclusion: What matters is the standard of the result. ✔️ Key Summary: Having more is not necessarily better, nor is having fewer better. ✔️ Key Point: The key is to carefully craft them by finding the right number for your tooth condition and meticulously considering the color, shape, and occlusion to blend naturally with surrounding teeth. ✔️ Necessity of Consulting a Specialist: It is the role of a dentist to accurately determine the right number for you and achieve natural-looking results. To make an informed decision, please be sure to have a thorough consultation with a specialist first! 🩺 Seoul Dia Dental Clinic Chief Director Lee Jeong-ho Ministry of Health and Welfare Certified Specialist in Integrated Dentistry Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry Advanced Dentistry procedure university High-end implants Dentistry procedure Oral Design Uncensored laminate course American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) Regular member Osstem Implant Clinical Research Center Research Advisory Committee

As I work in a field that involves speaking, I have always been very interested in teeth whitening procedures. However, since my teeth are not in very healthy condition and my gums are sensitive, I was very worried about potential side effects even before visiting the clinic. I was concerned about side effects, such as tooth sensitivity or pain and swelling of the gums, which can occur during the procedure. I visited Statis Dental Clinic, where I had my cavities treated in the past. They told me that while such side effects can occur, they would check for weak gums or cavities beforehand, and I was reassured to hear that most areas improve after a few days. The directors are highly skilled and answered my questions and inquiries with sincerity, so my concerns about the side effects of the teeth whitening procedure have lessened somewhat.
임삼미26.06.18Views 104Likes 3 I was worried that getting a tooth filling at Seongsim 49 Plant Dental Clinic might be overtreatment.[11]
v What procedure/surgery were you considering? I went for a regular dental check-up, and they recommended getting a filling because there was a part of my gum that had receded a little. . Since it was the first time I was considering it, I was worried about whether I really needed to get a filling and if they were recommending overtreatment. . What were your biggest concerns? I heard that getting a tooth filling isn't a permanent cure and can fall out depending on your lifestyle, so do I really need to get treatment right now? It occurred to me. Which hospital did you visit? Sacred Heart I visited 49 Plant Dental Clinic. How was the consultation or treatment? They kindly explained what the tooth filling procedure entails and advised that if the procedure is not done, the gums might recede, causing aesthetic concerns. They also mentioned that if the gums recede, the teeth could become exposed, leading to sensitivity when brushing or eating foods with different temperatures. . Did your thoughts change after the actual visit? I hadn't even thought about getting a tooth filling, so I received excessive treatment. I did wonder if they were recommending the procedure, but I realized it was better to do it for the health and neatness of my teeth. Getting the filling done didn't take long, and it wasn't expensive. Also, I liked that the resin covering wasn't very noticeable.

기춘이26.06.18Views 65Likes 5 Barun Yaksook Dental Clinic, Concerns about teeth whitening effects... Reviews[15]
I have a concern these days... I think everyone has probably had that thought at least once while looking in the mirror. It is teeth whitening. Are you all satisfied with the color of your teeth!? I didn't have a single one!!! I don't think there will ever be any. Unlike people from other countries tough and hard food I enjoy it, and of course, coffee, black tea, and curry. As a Korean who loves colored foods like kimchi They say it is difficult for enamel to retain its original color. My teeth turned yellow from loving Korean food so much... I feel sorry, but I also can't stand the sight of it. While looking into teeth whitening I found a good dental clinic, I wanted to suggest that my neighbors give this a try if they have the same concerns. I brought a review! After actually receiving it, First, in a clean environment, the whitening agent With scaling so that it can spread evenly A thorough cleaning was carried out. It just so happened that I hadn't received a dental scaling covered by insurance this year. We proceeded with scaling first. That is how the whitening started!! It took a long time, but, Still, it's not just one tooth. Since both the upper and lower front teeth go in, It was a convincing time. But still, at Bucheon Dental Clinic If you are considering whitening, use generously I recommend allowing plenty of time! My teeth were originally about A3 size. If there hadn't been lighting, I think I would have gone as far as A3.5. You said that A4 is the darkest and yellowish color. It was almost the first stage... no, half the stage. I think it was worth my concern. Why didn't I get teeth whitening at Bucheon Dental Clinic sooner? I wonder if they didn't think of that~ Laughing with my mouth covered in the past years or I, who took a photo with my mouth closed It was pathetic. So I thought the whitening effect would be better~? It was so much better than I expected, I was really surprised! Teeth due to bright lighting or photo brightness adjustment It didn't come out white. I was able to check it sufficiently using the color guide! And so, I skipped over three stages. I was diagnosed with A1, which is said to be the whitest. I wonder if it will still come out up to A2. I only had high expectations, What do you mean more than that? Hahaha. I was so happy that I just kept doing this much...

When I checked in the mirror, it seemed like one side of my tooth was fractured. At first, I thought it was just mild tooth sensitivity, but when I touched it with my tongue, I found a fractured tooth, and I visited Hans Dental Clinic because I was worried due to the discomfort I felt every time I chewed. Since we have always visited this place for the kids' dental checkups, it was definitely here for me!

My biggest concern was whether the pain during the treatment would be severe. 😭 🩺 The director started with a thorough diagnosis !!

It was a bit painful, though, where the root canal was applied. You carefully checked from time to time to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable, which really helped me relax a lot.

합격기원 26.06.16Views 58Likes 1 [Health Column] What are the criteria for choosing the right orthodontic treatment for me? Wire braces vs. Clear braces[5]
✨Hello! This is Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of SmileD Dental Clinic, where your dental health always comes first. 👋 Have you been secretly worried every time you look in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide on orthodontic treatment, you will find yourself at another crossroads when you actually try to start. This is the dilemma between traditional 'wire braces (bracket braces)' and 'clear braces (Invisalign)' that use transparent plastic! Today, I will summarize the key points in a very easy-to-understand way, covering everything from the distinct differences between the two treatments to how to make the wise choice that fits your situation perfectly. ✨ 1️⃣ How are teeth moved in orthodontics? The core principle of orthodontic treatment is to apply a constant force to the teeth 'continuously'. 📌 The secret to moving teeth, 'orthodontic appliances' A special structure is required to transmit precise force to the teeth in the desired direction, and this is precisely what we know as 'orthodontic appliances.' These appliances are broadly divided into two types. 🔸 Fixed method: This is a treatment method that involves firmly attaching a device to the surface of the tooth. 🔸 Attachable (Detachable) type: It is a method that uses a device that the patient can insert and remove themselves. 💁♀️ You were fascinated by how teeth move when you get braces, weren't you? Just like moving heavy furniture to a desired location by steadily pushing it little by little, The principle is that the device provides very precise and continuous stimulation to the tooth roots! 2️⃣ What are the differences between wire braces and clear braces? ✨ There are distinct differences in maintenance methods and how to wear the device depending on its features. 🦷 1. Wire braces (bracket braces) It is a traditional method of attaching devices called brackets to the teeth and securing them by connecting them with wires. ✔️ characteristic: The treatment is 'compulsory' because the patient cannot remove the device voluntarily. Since the device operates forcibly, it is advantageous for moving according to plan. ⚠️ caution: Maintaining oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth after meals, may be somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, due to the device's structure, it may irritate the soft tissues in the mouth, causing discomfort or pain in the initial stages. 💎 2. Clear braces (Invisalign) It is a method of moving teeth by replacing thin, transparent special plastic trays made to fit each individual. ✔️ characteristic: The device is aesthetically excellent as it is barely visible 🤫. Above all, it has the huge advantage of being overwhelmingly convenient for hygiene management because you can temporarily remove the device while eating. ✨ Latest Trends: Recently, medical technology has advanced dramatically, making it possible to sophisticatedly solve even much more diverse and complex cases compared to the past. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Aren't clear braces less effective than wire braces? A1. Those who remember the early models might think that way. However, recently, materials and technologies, such as attachments attached to teeth, have advanced dramatically. In fact, in cases such as 'deep bite' where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, clear aligners often lead to easier and more precise improvement. Ultimately, rather than the type of appliance The expertise of the attending specialist determines the outcome. do. Q2. Is there a significant cost difference between the two devices? A2. Due to the nature of the process requiring precise custom manufacturing, Invisalign (clear braces) is often priced higher than standard brackets (wire braces). However, even among wire braces, the device is attached hidden inside the teeth. Lingual correction If you choose ', the cost may actually be higher than clear braces. Therefore, rather than making a decision based solely on price, it is advisable to compare the pros and cons of each device with your lifestyle patterns. Q3. Who would you strongly recommend clear braces to? A3. For clear aligners, 'patient cooperation' is the absolute criterion that determines the success or failure of the treatment. Every day except when eating 'Self-directed' individuals who can strictly adhere to wearing times of 20 to 22 hours or more on their own I highly recommend it to you 👍. On the other hand, for those who are usually clumsy or find it troublesome and difficult to manage braces unless someone forcibly takes care of them, wire braces, which involve a mandatory nature, may actually be much safer and more advantageous. 🎯 Conclusion: Careful selection and consultation with a specialist come first. Straightening your teeth does not simply mean an external improvement that makes you look prettier. It is a very valuable health investment that reduces blind spots inside the oral cavity, makes oral hygiene easy to manage, and protects gum health for a long time. 💡 One more hidden advantage! During orthodontic treatment, you naturally avoid hard or chewy foods. As this process, the masticatory muscles (masseter muscles) gently contract, allowing you to expect the added benefit of a slimmer and improved facial contour. ⚠️ Above all, the most important thing is an accurate diagnosis that matches my actual oral condition and skeletal structure.

Hello, I am the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. Lee Hyun-seop It is! 👋 "Director, isn't it too late for me to get braces right now? 😢" Interestingly, not only patients in their 20s and 30s but even those in their 50s ask this question exactly the same way. Conversely, parents with young children often worry, asking, "My child is still in elementary school, should they get orthodontic counseling already? 🤔" To start with the conclusion, There is no absolute deadline for orthodontic treatment age! 🙅♂️ It is just that the purpose of starting orthodontic treatment and the direction of treatment differ depending on the age group. Today, based on the most frequently asked questions in actual medical and consultation rooms, Stories of Orthodontics by Age Group I will explain it to you easily and in detail. 👇 1️⃣ Parents of elementary school children! Do you need to get an orthodontic consultation already? 👦👧 🦷 Even if your baby teeth are still falling out Be sure to check the status of jaw growth around the age of 6 to 8. Give it a try! Many parents are often surprised, saying, "You're saying you're getting braces already when your child's permanent teeth haven't even all come in yet? 😮". However, visiting the dentist at this time is not to get braces attached immediately. This is to determine whether your child currently requires correction and when the optimal time for treatment is. ✨ 📌 Growth management can be particularly important if the following symptoms are observed: 🔸 When a tendency toward an underbite or receding chin is observed 🔸 When the mouth is severely protruding or there is an open bite where the upper and lower teeth do not meet 🔸 When there is an underbite where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth 💡 A word of advice from the director! We strongly recommend visiting a dentist around the age of 6 to 8 to check the alignment of your teeth and the growth status of your jaw in advance. 2️⃣ Is the teenage growth period the most ideal time for orthodontic treatment? 🦷 🦷 Can control jawbone growth and The most efficient time due to rapid tooth movement no see! If I had to choose just one age for orthodontic treatment, most orthodontists would recommend the growth period. teenagers It talks about. 🧒👧 Since jawbone growth is still ongoing during this period, it is not only about simply aligning the teeth evenly Correctly controlling even the direction of jaw growth There is a huge advantage in being able to do it. Furthermore, the speed of tooth movement is relatively faster compared to adults. In fact, if orthodontic treatment is started during middle or high school, the range of treatment available is much wider than for adults. ⚠️ Parents occasionally ask, "Should I postpone braces due to academic stress or studying? 📝". If possible, do not delay it too much... It is good to receive benefits during the growth period. I tend to say that. 3️⃣ What is the most common reason patients in their 20s visit the dental orthodontics consultation room? 👱♀️👱♂️ 🦷 Interest in appearance is increasing, and people decide on treatment themselves. This is because it is the time for economic independence! The age group that most actively seeks orthodontic consultations at actual dental clinics is by far the 20s It is. 🎓 This is because many people decide on their own after becoming financially independent as they start their careers or college lives. It is also a time when interest in one's appearance increases significantly, especially when facing important events such as job hunting or marriage. ✔️ As a result, the device is not easily visible to others Ceramic braces, clear braces , or quickly proceed only with the necessary parts Partial correction Consultations primarily focus on aesthetics. 4️⃣ I'm in my 30s, can I start? It's never too late! 💼 🦷 If your teeth are gradually becoming misaligned or you feel tooth wear Now is the time to start orthodontic treatment. There is a regret that patients in their 30s most frequently express in the consultation room. It is the sentiment, "Ah... I should have just done it when I was in my 20s ㅠㅠ." 🥲 Many people visit our clinic after personally experiencing their teeth becoming increasingly misaligned as they age, having kept putting it off due to busy work lives. People in their 30s usually visit with these kinds of concerns: 🔸 When the front teeth start to spread apart little by little 🔸 When food keeps getting stuck due to extra teeth 🔸 When tooth wear occurs or the chewing sensation is abnormal 💡 A word of advice from the director! There is absolutely no need to worry that the corrective effect will be diminished just because you are in your 30s! On the contrary, since you clearly recognize the necessity of the treatment and are diligently following the doctor's instructions, Age group with excellent treatment cooperation That's what they say. 👍 5️⃣ Did you know that orthodontic treatment in people in their 40s is much more common than you might think? 🏢 🦷 Not only changes in appearance 'Functional purpose' to protect dental health This gets bigger. From their 40s onwards, the reasons for deciding to get braces differ slightly from previous generations.

If If you have periodontal disease (gum disease) First, you can restore your dental health by thoroughly treating your periodontal tissues and then combining this with orthodontic treatment. 6️⃣ Is orthodontic treatment really possible for people in their 50s and 60s? 👵👴 🦷 The important thing is not age 'Condition of the Gum Bone'! It is Fully Possible Even for Those in Their 60s do. Many people say, "Doctor, why would I need braces at this age?" but in the actual consultation room, it is very easy to find patients in their 50s and 60s. 😮 What is truly important in orthodontics is not your age on your resident registration, but the one supporting your teeth Condition of the gum bone (alveolar bone) no see. ❌ Even if you are in your 20s, if your gum condition is terrible, orthodontics is difficult, and Conversely, even for seniors in their 60s, it is entirely safe as long as their gum bone is in good condition and healthy. Recently, for the care of aging teeth Orthodontics to create space before implant placement, orthodontics prior to bridge prosthetics Treatment is being actively carried out for purposes such as , or partial correction of the front teeth. ✨ 7️⃣ The era of braces for those over 70! What is more important than age? 💯 🦷 It seems like it is possible up to a certain age. Is this treatment absolutely necessary for my current condition? We need to consider this. While it was hard to imagine in the past, now that we have entered the era of centenarians, even seniors in their 70s and older are visiting dental clinics for orthodontic consultations. ☀️ The main goal for this age group is not beauty.

However, if you carefully diagnose the condition of your gums and adjust the force gradually without straining yourself, it can actually correct crooked teeth and improve brushing effectiveness, so in the long run, Prevent gum disease and preserve healthier teeth You can do it. 🦷 Q2. Does adult orthodontics take much longer than orthodontics during the growth period? A2. Since adults have a slightly slower rate of bone metabolism compared to growing children, tooth movement may take a little longer. However, because adult patients follow the dentist's instructions very strictly, such as appliance management and wearing rubber bands, ( Excellent cooperation ), the actual total treatment period often does not differ significantly when compared to children in their growth stage. ✨ 🎯 Conclusion: Don't put it off because of age concerns! 📌 There is no set age limit for orthodontic treatment, and optimal treatment methods exist for each age group from the teens to the 70s. 📌 Management Points: Regardless of age, the key to successful correction is...

이현섭 원장26.06.16Views 137Likes 3 Painful teeth when feeling unwell[3]
My 37th molar hurts only when I'm not feeling well. I went to the dentist, had X-rays taken, and got a check-up... They say there is no inflammation or any other abnormalities. It doesn't hurt severely, but it hurts in an unpleasant, dull ache. I don't know why. Taking painkillers doesn't make much difference.

I went to the dentist because of my wisdom tooth. I don't have any pain yet, but I was advised to have a tooth extracted. I am wondering if there are many cases where people remove it even if it doesn't hurt. I heard that having wisdom teeth can cause problems later on. On the other hand, I have heard that there are people who live their whole lives without any problems. I am curious about the criteria used to decide on tooth extraction.

While reading posts related to dental treatment, I noticed many stories about implants. There are also cases where it is done immediately after a tooth is lost. I heard that there are cases where it is done after some time has passed. I am wondering when I should do this to expect better results. I also saw that the condition of the gums is important. I am more curious about whether it can be used for a long time than the cost. I would also like to know how long the treatment takes. I would like to hear the opinions of those who have actually experienced this.
기춘이26.06.12Views 69Likes 5 I was worried about side effects before getting orthodontic treatment at Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon.[16]
I decided to get orthodontic treatment before I get any older because I heard that it becomes difficult as you get older. However, I was worried because I heard that there are some side effects to orthodontic treatment. And, I visited Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, very worried about the potential for a lot of pain during the orthodontic treatment! I was very worried about the pain and side effects of orthodontic treatment, but I decided to visit after seeing reviews saying that the director of Guoldam Dental Hospital examines patients very thoroughly and provides kind consultations. First of all, there were a lot of people when I visited, so the waiting time was a bit long, but I really liked that the director checked everything thoroughly and explained exactly which direction the correction should take. Also, you explained the pain and side effects well, which really relieved my concerns. First of all, the director mentioned that there is some pain in the beginning of orthodontic treatment and a poking sensation, but he said that this poking sensation can be alleviated to some extent by applying orthodontic wax. I liked that they told me there wouldn't be any side effects as long as I visited every month during the orthodontic treatment and followed the instructions well. If you are worried about pain or side effects from orthodontic treatment like I was, I recommend visiting Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu for a consultation.

I often hear at the dentist that I should get a scaling. I became interested because I heard that it is covered by health insurance. However, I am wondering if I really need to get it done even if I don't have much tartar. People around me said it's good to get it regularly. Conversely, there were also opinions that there was no need to receive it frequently. I am curious if the cycle varies from person to person. I've heard that your teeth weaken after receiving it, but I'm not sure if that's true. I want to know exactly and manage it.

세라로즈26.06.10Views 65Likes 1 At Diamond Dental Clinic, the biggest concerns regarding resin treatment for broken teeth were post-treatment preservation and satisfaction.[19]
My right front tooth is slightly chipped I was considering resin treatment. The thing I was most worried about was It was preservation ability and satisfaction after treatment. The reason is that I received resin treatment about twice in the past. It went back to its original state because it fell again. Perhaps because of that, I was most concerned about the preservation power. The place I first consulted was It was Diamond Dental Clinic located in Namdong-gu, Incheon. It was a place where I had my scaling done for about 5 years. Because other dental conditions were also treated at this hospital I was able to proceed with the consultation comfortably. The consultation ended surprisingly quickly. They checked my front teeth as well while performing the basic check-up. The broken area isn't big right now. Actually, you said there is a risk that it will break again to some extent. No matter how good the treatment you receive Unless it is one's own teeth They said it wasn't that sturdy. The director has a broken tooth, too. They say he still uses his molars instead of his front and back legs. He did. Treatment is important, but you yourself later You said that the most important thing is the degree of caution. Tell them to get resin treatment no matter what. I liked that they didn't recommend it. I liked it even more because they didn't speak only in a hopeful way. Realistically, the first broken tooth is Even if you reattach it, to some extent The part you mentioned about the risk of breakage as well It was very helpful in deciding on the treatment. I decided not to get resin treatment this time. First of all, the broken part of the tooth is too small. It’s hard to say whether to grind it or attach it. What you mentioned was a great help in making the decision.

✨Hello! This is Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of SmileD Dental Clinic, where your dental health always comes first. 👋 After a long time has passed since finishing dental treatment, I suddenly think, 'the tooth I had done before' Prosthetics Do you ever worry, 'Am I really okay right now?'? 😥 In particular, those of you with old dental prosthetics that are well over 10 or 15 years old are likely wondering whether you should visit the dentist immediately to replace them, or if you can continue using them until there are no longer any issues. 🤔 Today is your precious dental health To this end, let's take a closer look at the proper care of dental prosthetics and the smart timing for replacement. ✨ 1️⃣ Why do worn-out dental prosthetics need to be replaced? ✨ This is because the adhesive securing the prosthesis gradually dissolves and disappears over time! Dental prosthetics refers to a treatment that involves placing or attaching a restoration to repair damaged parts of a tooth. At this stage, a special adhesive is used to firmly secure the prosthesis to the natural tooth. 🦷 The problem is The fact that this adhesive may gradually dissolve and disappear over time It is. ⚠️ If the adhesive melts away, invisible microscopic gaps may form, causing the prosthesis to lift or fall off. 😨 And if food debris penetrates through that gap, the tooth inside the prosthesis decays again secondary tooth decay The likelihood of causing becomes very high. 🦠 On average, the replacement cycle is considered to be 5 to 8 years for resin fillings or inlays and 7 to 8 years for crowns; however, since this can vary significantly depending on individual care habits, a thorough examination should be performed before removing the tooth simply because the replacement cycle has arrived. 2️⃣ Do I have to replace old dentures on schedule even if they don't cause any discomfort? ✨You don't necessarily have to replace it, but if the following 'warning signs' appear, you should have it checked immediately! Just because the set average replacement cycle has passed does not mean you absolutely have to tear out and replace perfectly good prosthetics. 🙅♂️ If you usually take very good care of your oral health Over 20 years This is because there are actually very many cases where it is used sturdily without any problems. 😊 However, if you experience even one of the following symptoms that are different from usual, it is a sign that there is a problem with the prosthesis, so you must visit a dentist for a thorough examination. ⚠️ 🚨 Warning signs of dental prosthetics requiring an immediate dental visit 💥 Breakage of prosthesis: If the prosthesis itself has a hole or is partially broken 😷 Suspected secondary cavity: If there is a persistent odor around the prosthesis or the gum line turns dark blue ⚡ Pain occurrence: If your teeth are particularly sensitive when eating cold food, or if you experience throbbing pain even when at rest 3️⃣ What are the best care tips to extend the lifespan of your precious dental prosthetics? You can use your dentures for much longer just by changing small habits in your daily life! To keep your teeth and dental prosthetics healthy for a long time, it is most important to correct small habits that you unconsciously practice in your daily life. ✨ Please remember these 4 key care tips to firmly extend your lifespan! 👇 ❌ Avoid hard and chewy foods: Please refrain as much as possible from hard foods that can cause strong impact to your teeth and dental prosthetics, such as ice, nuts, and dried squid. 🥜 ❌ Do not use teeth as tools: You must strictly avoid the habit of using your teeth forcefully like tools, such as opening bottle caps or cutting through tight packaging strings. ⚠️ ✔️ Improving Bad Habits: If you habitually clench your teeth or grind them while sleeping, please consult a dentist and consider wearing protective devices such as a 'splint'. 💤 🪥 Thorough oral hygiene management: Dental prosthetics are just like natural teeth. You must brush thoroughly, including the edges where food particles tend to get trapped, and make the use of dental floss or interdental brushes a part of your daily routine. 🧵 💬 FAQ: Top 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Prosthetics Q1. I can't see anything inside the prosthesis even in the mirror. How can I check it? 🤔 A1. That is correct. It is difficult to accurately check the condition of the inside of a prosthesis with the naked eye or standard photos. 😢 Therefore, even if there is no discomfort or pain Visit the dentist regularly once a year It is safest to do so and undergo a thorough check-up, including X-ray imaging. 📸 Q2. Is replacing old prosthetics more difficult and painful than the initial treatment? 😰 A2. Please rest assured that is not the case at all! 🙅♂️ The process follows exactly the same procedure as your initial treatment; the only difference is the addition of one extra step: safely removing the existing prosthesis. Please do not worry too much and feel free to consult with a specialist. 🩺 Q3. Do I really need to go to the dentist to get it checked even though I have absolutely no pain? 🤷♂️ A3. Yes, it is really important. There are unfortunate situations where patients live comfortably for 15 to 20 years without any discomfort, only to find their prosthetics removed for a check-up, only to discover the underlying tooth is already severely damaged and cannot be saved, ultimately leading to extraction. 😭 That is why Regular preventive inspections are a necessity, not an option. is. 📌 🎯 Conclusion: Dental treatment is all about timing!

오수환 원장26.06.09Views 114Likes 1 [Health Column] Is it too late to start orthodontic treatment now? A prosthodontist answers![4]
Hello, this is Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic. Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook It is. ✨ 🤔 "Will it be effective to start at this age?" Have you ever worried about this at least once, when someone around you starts orthodontic treatment, or when you are bothered by crooked teeth in the mirror? To start with the conclusion, regarding orthodontics There is absolutely no such thing as 'too late'! We will clearly highlight the key points regarding the distinct advantages and unique characteristics of adult correctional care, which are distinct from adolescent correctional care. Shall we begin the journey to find a confident smile right now? 💕 1️⃣ What is the difference between adolescent correction and adult correction? 👋 The biggest difference is right Presence or absence of growth It is located at. During adolescence, bones are soft and growth plates are open, making skeletal corrections such as prognathism or retrognathism possible. On the other hand, since growth has ended in adults, it is difficult to change the position of the skeleton, but the teeth and angles within the hard bone It can be corrected very precisely and without error. . 🎯 Even though it may look like similarly crooked teeth on the outside, adults need a customized movement plan that is perfectly tailored to their current skeletal condition. Just because your bones are strong doesn't mean correction isn't possible, so I recommend getting a precise diagnosis tailored to your skeletal structure first! ✔️ 2️⃣ Is adult orthodontics more painful and much slower? 👋 Slow down a little, but Healthier and more stable Moving! It is true that adults have higher bone density, so their cellular metabolism is slightly slower than that of adolescents. commonly 24~30 months It takes about that long, so it can be several months longer than for adolescents. ⏳ You may experience a dull ache for the first 2 to 3 days, but this is as your teeth find their proper positions Healthy Signs So you can rest assured! You may feel a heavy pain on the first night you wear the device, but you will surprisingly adapt within a few days. If you are very worried about pain and the duration, 'self-ligating braces,' which reduce pain by minimizing friction, or 'clear braces,' which offer a clean appearance, can be good alternatives. 💡 3️⃣ Are there any advantages to being an adult? 👋 Overwhelming cooperation and Thorough self-management is the best weapon. Adult orthodontics has 3 powerful advantages (TOP 3) unique to adults! 💎 🔸 1. Overwhelming cooperation with treatment 🤝 Unlike adolescents who are led by their parents, adults begin this process of their own strong will, so please strictly follow the doctor's instructions and precautions. This directly leads to the completeness of the treatment results. 🔸 2. Thorough Oral Hygiene Management 🪥 Because they meticulously use toothbrushes, interdental brushes, and dental floss on their own, the risk of cavities or gum disease that may occur during orthodontic treatment is significantly lower compared to adolescents. 🔸 3. Precise predictability without variables 📐 Since growth has already stopped, there is no unexpected variable called skeletal change. You can establish an error-free treatment plan by predicting future changes in facial shape or dental alignment with greater precision. The advantages of being an adult are maximized, especially in 'clear braces,' where self-care is essential. ✨ 💬 Ask Me Anything! (FAQ) Q1. Is it true that getting braces at an older age causes holes (black triangles) to form between the gums? It’s not that a new gum disease is developing; it’s just a phenomenon where the overlapping teeth straighten out, revealing the previously empty spaces! 😮 This can be sufficiently aesthetically corrected with procedures such as 'interdental reduction' or 'resin treatment,' so you do not need to worry too much. On the contrary, in the long run, it corrects the alignment of the teeth, which is of great help in preventing gum disease. Q2. Is 'extraction orthodontics,' which involves pulling out healthy teeth, absolutely necessary for adult orthodontics? Absolutely not! Whether or not to extract a tooth is determined not by the patient's age, but by the availability of space for the tooth to move and the degree of protrusion of the mouth. Recently, with the advancement of digital equipment, there has been a significant increase in cases where the dental arch is expanded or the teeth are pushed back to proceed without extraction. 🦷 Q3. I had braces when I was young, but they have become misaligned again as I have gotten older. Is it possible to have them re-corrected? Yes, of course it is possible! There are many adult patients who can restore their teeth to a straight alignment in a short period of time through partial orthodontics or clear aligners, especially in cases where crowded teeth have grown in again or teeth have gradually shifted due to neglecting retainer care. 😊 🎯 Conclusion: An investment in your youngest days for future oral health If crooked teeth are left untreated, food gets trapped between them, causing cavities and periodontitis (gum disease). Adult orthodontics goes beyond simple cosmetic purposes, The most reliable preventive treatment to protect your teeth and gums for a lifetime no see. ⚠️ Rather than wasting time hesitating thinking it's 'too late,' first have an experienced and trustworthy Prosthodontics specialist Find us and start with accurate digital precision diagnosis and consultation! It is the greatest gift you can give your future self. ✨ Dr. Jae-wook Jeong, Chief Director of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Ministry of Health and Welfare specialist in Prosthodontics Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Internship at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Sinchon; completed residency in Prosthodontics.

I broke two of my front teeth in an accident a while ago and had crowns placed to match my natural tooth color. However, my natural teeth have turned yellow and are bothering me, so I would like to get teeth whitening treatment. I have heard that prosthetics such as crowns or inlays do not have a whitening effect. Has anyone else had teeth whitening done while wearing dental prosthetics like me? I am curious how the procedure is performed when there are crown treatments.
이혜진26.06.07Views 65Likes 0 I am more satisfied with the results of the teeth whitening treatment than I expected.[3]
I hadn't given much thought to the color of my teeth until recently, when I looked in the mirror and noticed they looked very yellow, so I became interested in teeth whitening. I searched extensively online for information on the effectiveness of teeth whitening and asked acquaintances who had experience with the procedure. Afterward, I visited Jamsil UPenn Barun Dental Clinic, which was recommended by an acquaintance. I received a consultation and treatment there, and I am very satisfied because the results exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I have a strong aversion to procedures or surgeries unless absolutely necessary, so I try to avoid them if possible. However, ever since I realized how yellow my teeth are, I find myself constantly self-conscious about them whenever I talk to someone or smile. So, at the point where this was becoming a source of stress, I decided to get teeth whitening treatment. However, even after making the decision to get the procedure, I was skeptical about its effectiveness. So, at first, I thought that even if the effect wasn't significant, it would be nice to see at least some improvement. When I went to the dental clinic, they first checked the current color of my teeth and took photos, and the director explained the effects of the teeth whitening treatment. Then, the procedure was carried out in three steps using a spray, and when I looked at my teeth after it was finished, I was surprised by the results. Contrary to my expectations, my teeth turned about half a shade whiter, but I looked completely different from before. So, I was completely satisfied with the results of the teeth whitening treatment. I decided that if my teeth ever turned yellow again, I would get the procedure done right away. Now, satisfied with the results, I am going about my life speaking and smiling confidently.
