Oral Specialist Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 um.. to dentists here, help um pag umaga, parang ng bleed yung gums ko ng konti... but minsan naman hindi... pansin ko lnag na tuwing mornings lang... um.. anu kaya yun? thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This can happen because the flow of saliva is reduced during sleep. If there is food or tartar stuck between your teeth, the tendency of saliva to remove the food is reduced as well and so the gums get irritated. Couple that with the tendency of a person to swallow during sleep causing a suction effect in the mouth can make the gums bleed easily. Flossing properly and brushing thoroughly for at least 5 minutes, after meals and before sleeping, can help prevent the food getting stuck in between the teeth and irritating the gums.

Oral Specialist Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 doc oral specialist, tinangal braces ko last year 2003, mula nun naka retainers parin ako hangang ngayon.kelan ba dapat ito tangalin? 1 year nako naka retainers.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Depending on the case, some people need only 6 months of retainer time while for others they may have to wear the retainers for life. Ask your othodontist if you still need the retainers. Quote Link to comment
Oral Specialist Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 ask ko lang po! magkano po ngayon ang braces? mura pero maganda! hehehehehe<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmm...depends on the orthodontist and the materials used. The treatment can range from 25k up to 200k+! Experience of the ortho can influence the prices as well. Quote Link to comment
Oral Specialist Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 Greetings. My problem is different. when i was a kid, about 10 or 12 years i think, i had one of my front tooth root canaled. Everythng went smooth and okay not until 15 years after. the root canaled tooth (am i correct to say that its dead already?) has turned a little bit blackish and sobrang halata specially on pics. due to this problem, it has been my insecurity ever since already. I dont smile on photos and whenever. i tried to have it bleached doing two types of procedure. one is they drilled from the back and placed some chemical inside while the other procudure was whitening stuff placed on the surface. Unfoprtuantly, both dint work....or probly bka it improved konti, im not sure cuz i was really and still very dissapointed considering i had to pay for such services which dint work perfectly. another dentist suggested caps or porcelain something, forgot what they call it. Im not keen in doing this since im a very physically active person whose into martial arts and strenous sports kaya it might just break. so Doc, what can you advise? thanks in advance<{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're correct in saying that the tooth is dead because the pulp has been removed already. Since the procedures you mentioned didn't work, the suggestion for a porcelain jacket would be the best solution for you especially with your active lifestyle. Porcelain is actually tougher than natural teeth. The only drawback is that you have to remove some tooth structure to have this placed and it can wear down the opposing tooth. A possible treatment would be a veneer. A veneer is a porcelain covering that can be placed over the visible portion of the tooth while minimizing the removal of tooth structure. It tends to cost less than a jacket crown but it may be more vulnerable to damage since it's thinner than a crown and isn't attached as well as a jacket. Quote Link to comment

Looks like you'll need more than just pain killers. You seem to have an acute infection there that will require a prescription for antibiotics. Perhaps you could at least ask your aunt for that?

Sonny Torres Oliva; DDSNYC :cool:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi doc! Thanks for your offer to help. I'm sure a lot of the members will appreciate it. Could you perhaps give us a perspective on how dentisty is practiced there in contrast to here? Also, do you still want to know about the different types of porcelain and veneer restorations available here? Most of the restorations are usually available and the newer or more exotic ones are likely to be ordered from Europe or the U.S. Quote Link to comment

It's performed in your case because your gums are irritated by tartar found within and this is difficult to remove using an ordinary toothbrush. Even if you're taking Vitamin C every day, the tartar is still there to torment your gums and will continue to cause the bleeding. I would recommend having the procedure as it is the only way to remove the tartar found in the gums. Quote Link to comment

Ok lang yun kasi fully healed na yung area na yun. But be prepared to set aside at least a year for the full treatment including healing from the surgery up to the construction of the dentures to go with them. Quote Link to comment
