Oral and Dental Health

What is Oral and Dental Health?

Oral and dental health is a branch of medicine that covers the treatment and care procedures performed to protect and improve the health of the mouth, teeth and surrounding tissues. This field includes a wide range of diseases and treatments such as tooth decay, gum disease, mouth sores, tooth sensitivity and aesthetic dentistry. The aim is to improve the general health status of patients by protecting their oral and dental health and to increase their quality of life.

Scope of Oral and Dental Health

• Tooth Decay: Tooth decay, which occurs as a result of damage to the tooth enamel by bacteria, is treated with fillings, root canal treatment or tooth extraction.
• Gum Disease: Professional teeth cleaning, root surface smoothing and surgical interventions are used in the treatment of conditions such as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease).
• Mouth Sores: Aphthous ulcers, herpes simplex virus infections and other mouth sores are treated with topical treatments and antiviral medications.
• Tooth Sensitivity: Special toothpastes and fluoride treatments are applied to patients who have tooth sensitivity to cold, hot, sweet or sour foods.
• Teeth Whitening: Professional teeth whitening treatments are used to restore the natural color of the teeth and improve their aesthetic appearance.
• Dental Implants: The process of placing titanium implants in the jawbone to replace missing teeth.
• Dentures and Bridges: Removable or fixed dentures and bridges used to replace missing teeth.
• Orthodontics: Treatment methods such as braces and clear plates used to ensure proper alignment of teeth.
• Pedodontics (Child Dentistry): Procedures and preventive treatments performed to protect and treat children’s oral and dental health.
• Endodontics: A field that treats infections and diseases in the internal structure of the tooth. Root canal treatment is the most well-known treatment of this branch.
• Oral, Dental and Jaw Surgery: It covers surgical interventions in the jawbone, mouth and teeth. Impacted tooth extractions, jaw fractures and dental implant surgery fall into this field.

Importance of Oral and Dental Health

Oral and dental health plays a critical role in maintaining general health. Oral and dental diseases can be associated with systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections and pregnancy complications. Therefore, maintaining oral and dental health is vital to improving general health. In addition, a healthy mouth and teeth structure increases a person’s self-confidence and positively affects their social life.

Technologies Used in Oral and Dental Health

• Digital X-Ray: It is an imaging technology that obtains high-resolution images using less radiation.
• CAD/CAM Technology: It enables fast and precise dental prostheses, bridges and coatings to be made with computer-aided design and production technology.
• Laser Dentistry: Laser technology is used for procedures such as cleaning tooth decay, treating gum disease and teeth whitening.
• Intraoral Cameras: Cameras that allow patients to see their oral conditions in detail are used in diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Digital Scanners: It allows digital scanning of teeth and oral structure and creation of 3D models.
• Implant Planning Software: Software used to plan the placement of dental implants and increase precision.

Post-Oral and Dental Health Rehabilitation

Post-oral and dental treatment rehabilitation is important to accelerate the recovery process of patients and to maintain their oral health after treatment. The rehabilitation process includes regular oral hygiene practices, nutritional counseling and regular dentist check-ups. This process ensures that patients are protected from post-treatment complications and maintain their oral health in the long term.
