Periodontist Consultation Phuket

Gum recession is one of the gum problems that patients can frequently identify. When the recession is in the front of the mouth, it may be readily seen, especially if it is on the upper front teeth. Periodontal Plastic Surgery is predictable in creating thick, tough gum tissue (called "attached gingiva") which will prevent further recession, and in some cases will also cover the existing recession. An important point to understand is that these periodontal plastic surgical techniques have the treatment of recession as their primary treatment objective.

Periodontist consultation is a referred service. A general checkup and consultation is first done by BIDCs consultation dentist that is free.

Wisdom teeth are third molars. Normally people have three permanent molars that develop in each quadrant of the mouth. The third molars usually will try to grow in at around age 18 to 20 years. Wisdom teeth are actually no different than any other tooth except that they are the last teeth to erupt. They are just as useful as any other tooth if they grow in properly, have a proper bite relationship, and have healthy gum tissue around them. Unfortunately, this does not always happen.When wisdom teeth are prevented from erupting into the mouth properly, they are referred to as impacted. A dentist must examine a patients mouth and corresponding x-rays to determine if the teeth are impacted or will not grow in properly. Impacted teeth may cause problems. Here are several common problems that occurs when the impacted wisdom teeth are not removed: bacteria and plaque build-up, decay of adjacent teeth, formation of cysts (a fluid- filled sac) or tumors from follicle, tumor development, infection, jaw and gum disease. Erupted wisdom teeth may need to be removed. The dentist may recommend wisdom tooth removal if wisdom tooth: interferes with the bite, non-functional, badly decayed, involved with or at risk for periodontal diseas, interferes with restoration of an adjacent tooth.

Teeth cleaning is done in removing plaque on teeth. Scaling is done to remove calculus. Polishing is done in removing stains on teeth. Cleaning, scaling, polishing is done together during a cleaning session. Airflow is also available at BIDC in polishing and removing stains on teeth using waterjet sprays relative to conventional brushes.
