trying their best to find a cure for cataracts. They are trying to find a
treatment with medicine instead of surgery. But yet they haven't completed
their work. That is why; there is still no cure for cataracts without surgery.
Although it is not very complicated still, many people are haunted by the
word <b>surgery.</b> No medication can be helpful in its elimination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a few weeks to recover. Typically the patient has to give complete rest to his
affected eye for 3 to 4 days. And after that, he is okay with any kind of work
but with a short screen time. But if you have to wear new eyewear, it will take
at least 3 to 4 weeks to use them. Before this time, it can affect your
eyesight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Causes Of Abscess </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <a href="https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/abscess" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">most common cause for the abscess</a> is the bacterial infection. Abscesses are triggered when there is an obstruction of sebaceous glands or a hair follicle or a cyst. Other causes include parasites, other foreign materials and a prior history of disc herniation or spinal abnormality. Abscesses are part of the body’s immune system mechanism. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Symptoms Of Dental Abscess </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An abscess occurs, as stated above, in any part of the body including skin, lungs, brain, kidney, tonsils and so on. The most common symptoms of an external abscess are redness, swelling,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">pain, heat, fever, chills, and loss of function. Diagnosis of the internal abscess is difficult, yet pain, fever, and feeling unwell are the common symptoms. </span></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Prevention Of Abscess</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although treatments are available for abscess, it is better to take preventions as prevention is better than cure. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Skin Abscess:</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Clean up wounds and apply anti-bacterial creams. This helps prevent the formation of abscesses. </span></div>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Teeth Abscess:</span></h4>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brush and floss daily without fail.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Get regular health check-ups </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Avoid sweet food </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lung Abscess: </span></h4>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Preventing aspiration is the best preventive measure for a lung abscess. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Prophylactic antibiotics against certain pathogens must be taken by patients prone to risk. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Improving oral hygiene can also help prevent lung abscess. So oral hygiene must be maintained with much seriousness. It is the simplest thing to do. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Avoiding overeating just before bed and changes sleeping positions is a must to prevent the disease. This helps to prevent gastric content aspiration. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Breast Abscess: </span></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Good breastfeeding habits and proper nipple hygiene help to reduce the chances of breast abscess. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bra and other inner wears must not be too tight. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After breastfeeding wipe, the breast with sterilized cotton dipped in warm water and let them dry naturally. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Treatments Of Abscess</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An abscess can be treated at home with a warm compress if it is small. This may reduce the pain and reddish appearance. Large abscess has to be drained by a doctor to treat the infection. The following are the treatments available for it.</span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Antibiotics </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Antibiotics are prescribed only in the following cases: </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Many sites of infection </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rapid disease progression </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Presence of cellulitis </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Symptoms indicating bacterial illness throughout the body </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Health condition causing immunosuppression </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The patient is young or very old</span></li>
</ol>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Incision And Drainage</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In order to identify the foreign object which caused an abscess, we need to open it up. In case it is not any foreign object that caused it, then the abscess must be incised and drained. This is the best way to cure the infection. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Packing</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After drainage, the wounds are packed with a cloth to prevent further infection. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Primary Closure</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Closing the abscess soon after drainage helps prevent recurrence. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Surgery</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In case of an internal abscess, whether or not incision would work depends upon its size. If incision does not work, the best alternative solution would be surgery. The type of abscess would decide the type of surgery to be performed. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If abscesses are not drained, cleaned and dried, it spreads. This can be nasty and painful. Abscesses cannot be cured with the help of antibiotics alone. So incision, drainage, and packing are very much important when it comes to this disease. Most people confuse abscess with the cyst. Both are fluid-filled lumps. The difference lies in the fact that abscess is infectious while the cyst is not. A cyst may get infected and turn into an abscess. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Is A Gingival Recession? </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_recession" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gingival recession or gum recession</a> is a condition in which the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth starts wearing away or starts pulling back. It exposes more tooth or the tooth’s root. In this condition, gaps are formed between the teeth and the gum line which makes it easy for the bacteria to build up. This condition can lead to the complete damage of the bone structure causing severe tooth loss. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This issue is usually diagnosed and treated by a periodontal disease expert or a dentist. Physical examinations are carried out to understand the issue. A probe is used to measure the size of the gum pockets and check whether the pockets are big enough for the bacteria to form. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Are The Reasons For Gum Recession? </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are the few of the reasons why gums may recede:</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Periodontal Disease:</b> This disease is one of the main reasons for gum recessions. This bacterial infection destroys the gum and the supporting bone. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Genetic:</b> Some people might have perfect oral hygiene yet may be susceptible to gum recession. It is because these people have their mouth predisposed to gum disease because of their genes. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Aggressive Brushing:</b> Brushing too hard or in the wrong way or with a wrong brush with bad bristles can cause the enamel of the teeth to wear and the gums to recede. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Poor Oral Hygiene:</b> It can lead the plaque to turn into tartar, a hard substance that builds up between the teeth. It can lead to gum recession. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Hormonal Changes: </b>Fluctuations in hormones can make the gums more vulnerable and sensitive. It usually happens to women. Especially during pregnancy or menopause. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Tobacco Consumption:</b> People who consume tobacco are more likely to have plaque stuck to their teeth which leads to their gums to recede. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Grinding And Clenching:</b> Clenching and grinding the teeth can also cause the gums to recede because of too much force. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Diabetes</b>, although not very common, is sometimes the reason which can cause receding gums. Certain medications can cause dry mouth which causes the gums to recede. </span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Despite all the symptoms of gum recession sensitivity is the most obvious one. The reason being the disease exposes the roots and also makes the tooth look longer than normal. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Which Surgeries And Treatments Are Used To Treat Receding Gums? </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If the preceding is mild, then it can be treated with a deep cleaning of the affected area. This procedure is also called tooth scaling or root planning. In this process, the built-up plaque and tartar on root surfaces and below the gum line are carefully removed. The uncover root sector is smoothened, this produces it hard for the bacteria to construct. Antibiotics are offered to finish the staying dangerous bacteria. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The different types of surgeries to treat receding gums include: </span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Introduction To Dental Abscess </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Abscessed Tooth can be defined as a pocket of pus that forms around the root of an infected tooth. The abscess is a combination of pus which is a liquid produced in the infected tissue, consisting of bacteria, dead white blood cells, tissue debris and serum. An abscessed tooth is an infection around a tooth that has been spread surrounding the root. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_abscess" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A dental abscess</a> occurs when proper oral hygiene is neglected and when bacteria are allowed to accumulate inside the tooth. According to a survey report, the number of people who have been affected and hospitalized because of dental abscesses has increased by over 40% in the period between 2000 and 2008. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Causes Of Dental Abscess </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A dental abscess can be formed inside a tooth, gum area or the bone surrounding the tooth. There are two types of abscess developed in the mouth. One is a tooth abscess also known as periapical abscess which is caused due to infection inside the tooth, due to tooth decay or cavities. The bacteria starts causing infection which can lead to severe pain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A gum abscess known as periodontal abscess may occur when the food gets trapped between gum and tooth. A gum abscess is not as significant as the tooth abscess. When the bacteria are in the glue, your body can fight them with white blood cells. Significant causes of Dental Abscess are - Cavity or tooth decay, gum disease or a cracked tooth. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Symptoms Of Dental Abscess </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Signs of a Dental Abscess are: </span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Severe and intense pain in the affected tooth </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Intense pain during tooth movement </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sensitivity to hot or cold drinks </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A persistent toothache to the pressure of chewing </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Swollen gums, cheeks, and loose teeth </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And finally, if the infection spreads, it can lead to other side effects like an increase in body temperature and can stop the movement surrounding the teeth. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Prevention Of Dental Abscess </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Most prominent solution to any dental problem is <a href="https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/basics/brushing-and-flossing/how-to-brush-your-teeth-properly-a-quick-guide-0213" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">maintaining oral hygiene</a> which can be achieved by flossing and brushing twice a day or after consuming food.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Treatment And Cure</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Treatments consist of antibiotics and therapies. Some of them are: </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Root canal therapy: It is performed when the pus in the tooth becomes infected or damaged. During root canal therapy, the pulp is removed or drained, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to avoid further infection. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tooth Extraction: When the infection has reached its peak, and the tooth can't be saved, tooth extraction has to be done to prevent surrounding teeth from getting infected. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A small dental abscess may drain naturally and can disappear without having required any treatment. However, such is not the case with large abscess as only antibiotics can assist in the procedure. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If the infection is limited to the affected area, you may not need any antibiotics or medication. But if the infection has spread to the surrounding teeth or other areas, your dentist will prescribe you antibiotics which will stop it from spreading further. </span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Natural Remedies</span></h2>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cloves: Cloves contains anti-inflammatory agents within it, which makes it great for the healing the pain and reducing the swelling and puffiness that comes with an infected tooth. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Turmeric: One of the most effective treatments for excessive bacteria growth is turmeric. It starts showing its result upon its first contact with the bacteria. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A dental abscess can cause severe pain to an individual. Hence, early diagnosis and taking care of the teeth is extremely important. Determining various factors that put an individual at risk of getting infected to a dental abscess, influence the spread of infection from the apex of a tooth to the skin and further life-threatening complications would help treatment decisions. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Are Dental Braces And Its Types? </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dental braces are devices that are used by dentists to straighten a person’s teeth. These orthodontic devices can either be cosmetic or structural. They often help to widen the palate or jaws and to assist the shaping of the teeth and jaws. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are mainly four types of braces: </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. Metal Braces </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are the common types of braces usually formed with <a href="https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/cosmetic-dentistry/adult-orthodontics/what-to-know-about-metal-braces-0613" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">metal brackets</a> and wires. Modern braces are smaller and less noticeable than the lower braces. These braces cost very less and come in various colors, but these braces are very noticeable once fitted. </span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. Ceramic Braces </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ceramic braces are of identical shape and size as that of the metal braces. They are tooth-colored and can easily blend into person's teeth. One can even use tooth-colored wires to make these even more unnoticeable. These work faster than plastic aligners but are more expensive. These get stained very quickly if the patient does not take care of them very well. Maintenance might be the problem in case of these braces. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3. Lingual Braces </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are same as the metal braces; the only difference is that they are placed inside the teeth of a patient and not on them. The good thing about these is that they are invisible from outside, the bad thing, however, is that these are very difficult to clean, are inappropriate for several cases, can be uncomfortable, and adjustments take longer than traditional braces. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. Invisalign </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are custom made mouth guard like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_aligners" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">clear plastic aligners</a> which consists of up to 18-30 aligners. These are removable that have to be replaced every two weeks. These are invisible, and unlike other braces these allow the patient to eat and drink whatever they want. These, however, are not very good for a serious problem and cannot be used by children. These are expensive and if lost needs to be replaced which is costlier. The treatment takes very long. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Benefits Of Dental Braces </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are several health benefits to having braces. The main reason being the boost in confidence and self-esteem because of an improved appearance which helps them to lead a better social, as well as personal life. Braces are perfect for dental health, especially if the teeth issues become a hindrance towards maintaining proper dental hygiene. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Listed below are few benefits of orthodontic braces: </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. Improvement Of Dental Hygiene </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The primary health benefits are the improvement of dental hygiene, which can help reduce the chances of any oral disease. Misaligned teeth, crooked teeth, and bite issues can cause food buildup between our teeth. This issue may increase plaque or bacteria formation in the tooth surfaces. Plaque can lead to periodontal or gum diseases. By aligning the teeth and improving the bite, braces allows the patient to take care of his dental hygiene. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. Protection Of Teeth </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Braces help to <a href="https://medical-doctor-surgeon.blogspot.com/2018/06/important-points-about-tooth-sensitivity-and-dental-emergencies.html" target="_blank">protect the teeth</a>. Braces improve irregular bite pattern. Irregular bite pattern can cause stress and impact on particular teeth. This problem might prove unfavorable to the patient as stress can make the teeth wear off at a rapid pace. Having misaligned teeth can lead to the dental problem. Braces provide proper alignment to the teeth that reduce the risk of teeth damage. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3. Helps In Digestion </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients with teeth issues face difficulty in biting and chewing food. This issue may cause digestion and nutrition problems in the patient. Braces straighten the teeth that help eliminate eating issues. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. Boosting Self Esteem </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other than resolving the health issues, braces also help a person get back his self-esteem. It improves appearance that allows the patient to address his insecurity and inferiority complex. This solution helps patients improve their personal, social as well as professional lives. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Disadvantages </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everything has its advantages and its disadvantages, so does braces. Listed below are the problems of orthodontic braces: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It takes a long time to straighten teeth, especially in adults. A patient has to wear his braces for almost a period of two to three years. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is possible relapsing in the alignment of the teeth. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A patient has to give up on some food items like corn, carrot, pretzels, and popcorn. Food items that are hard cannot be consumed while the brace work is in process. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tooth Decay </span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tooth decay</a> is the softening of your tooth enamel which results in the damage of your teeth's structure by the production of acids which are created when the bacteria in your mouth gets accumulated due to the breakdown of sugar. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you do not treat this, then a cavity is formed that is a hole starts getting formed. These holes can grow larger if left untreated and destroys the entire tooth. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When the bacteria eat away the next layer of the teeth, it results in the cavity; This makes the nerves get exposed which results in pain and sensitivity to food and drinks. One of the most common outcomes of tooth decay is a dental cavity, which is a sign of bad oral hygiene.</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Causes </span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are some causes that lead to tooth decay. It usually occurs when you do floss or brush your teeth properly due to which the food particles and matter get stuck in between your teeth. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Majority of the causes are due to eating sugary food items, sticky foods, and beverages. Sugar ends up combining with a plaque to weaken the tooth enamel, leaving it vulnerable to tooth decay. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Poor Oral Hygiene</b> - Not regularly brushing your teeth makes your teeth vulnerable to the bacteria to attach and cause cavities. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Plaque Formation</b> - Plaque is formed when the bacteria is formed in the mouth due to the acid from the food items, saliva, and accumulation of food particles in the mouth. The acids attack the enamel of your tooth and eventually cause the formation of holes which is called as cavities. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Dry Mouth</b> - Saliva helps in washing the bacteria from the mouth. A dry mouth results in the formation of bacteria which will build up more. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Eating And Drinking</b> - This is how we end up having cavities in our teeth. We cannot ignore the intake of sugary food items which is why it is important to brush and floss every day. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Bacteria And Acid</b> - Bacteria stays in your mouth which causes the acid to destroy the tooth enamel. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Medical Problems</b> - It can be a cause that can result in the formation of acid which is secreted by the stomach. It increases the risk of the tooth cavity. </span></li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Symptoms </span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tooth symptoms are pretty easy to detect. If you take notice of any signs, then you should consult your dentist as soon as possible. The quicker you take note of the symptoms, the quicker you can treat it. Some of the signs of tooth decay are: </span></div>

Few kinds of toothpaste contain specific acidic materials which assist in killing the bacteria. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Dental Floss</b> - Regular flossing is also important. It removes the stuck food particles in between the teeth that prevent tooth decay. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Mouthwash</b> - It is like the last step of prevention which can help you in maintaining good oral hygiene. It kills the bacteria and plaque that is present in the mouth to give fresh breath. </span></li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Treatment </span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A person will suffer at least one or two tooth cavities in his/her lifetime. Being diagnosed with tooth cavities is not something to worry about.

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Teeth are one of those parts of our body which require regular, consistent care, which is nothing extra but too essential but ignoring that primary care might lead people into disastrous dental problems or mouth and oral problems as well. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the most widespread problems people have to deal with is tooth sensitivity. It is seen in the majority of the people irrespective of age. It is not seen in babies, but most of the people including the elderly ones develop tooth sensitivity over time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We often tend to ignore it as it seems to be a minor issue, but this ignorance can lead to a more significant pain in future which probably will be incurable as well. </span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The pain persists for like few seconds while you chew the food and gradually disappears with time. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since the pain is coming in the short course of time and is not persisting for a long time people often ignore it. But in these cases, you definitely should consult a proper dentist. </span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Are The Probable Causes Of Tooth Sensitivity? </span></h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Aggressive brushing: Often brushing for a prolonged period or aggressively brushing for a long time might lead to the erosion of tooth for which sensitivity occurs. Also brushing with hard bristles toothbrush can cause tooth erosion as well. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Consuming high amount of acidic beverages or acidic food leads to tooth erosion which again causes severe tooth sensitivity. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Worn out enamel due to over brushing also causes sensitivity. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are people with tendencies of grinding their teeth while sleeping or just like a habit; This leads to the erosion of teeth as well. Erosion leads to sensitivity again. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A broken tooth which makes your dentine portion exposed leads to sensitivity and the pain is awful in this case. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tooth surgery when goes wrong might lead the root portion to become exposed which is again another reason why we develop sensitivity. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes after getting a dental surgery, post surgery symptoms result in tooth sensitivity; This is temporary and can be managed with certain drugs only. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Accumulation of excessive plaque can lead into sensitivity as well, plaque deposition erodes out enamel, and thus the nerves get exposed due to which when we eat something too hot or too cold or sweet it causes a tingling sensation in our tooth. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since the pain due to tooth sensitivity is a very short-term or something that does not persist and extends over a long period. Most of the people tend to ignore it thinking it might go away or in most of the cases cannot even understand it is happening due to tooth sensitivity.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Symptoms Of Tooth Sensitivity </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The symptoms of sensitivity are mainly visible when we consume something. The discomfort or the tingling sensation happening on our teeth is the only symptom of tooth sensitivity, and this happens when we eat or drink the following things- </span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hot food </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cold food or Cold drinks </span></li>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Treatment Of Tooth Sensitivity </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Due to a specific disorder named Gastroesophageal reflux or GERD, the acidic materials or juices from the gut comes up through the esophagus which when comes in contact with the teeth can lead to erosion. This disorder cannot be self-treated. It is a necessity to visit a dentist or a medicinal doctor to cure it. It can be treated with antibiotics or acid reducing agents. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A root canal treatment is a procedure of treating or saving a severely damaged and infected tooth. This procedure involves extracting, cleaning and disinfecting the affected tooth and filling the pulp. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apart from deep, severe cavity here are a host of other issues that can be solved by a root canal treatment: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Affect Due To Repeated Dental Procedures:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The repeated methods for treating a tooth can lead to getting a root canal done. These repeated <a href="https://medical-doctor-surgeon.blogspot.com/2017/11/dental-implants-a-guide-to-revitalize-your-smile.html" target="_blank">dental procedures</a> may happen to a person for several reasons like repeated cavities; the filling might have to be removed to remove new decay or other such methods. These procedures affect the tissue of the root canal so that a root canal procedure can mend it.<br /></span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Large Fillings:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> When a patient undergoes treatment for cavities, the decay might get extensive, and he has to fill it more making a more substantial filling in the tooth; This calls for a root canal treatment to fill up the tissues in the canal and the affected area.<br /> </span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cracks And Chips:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The teeth can get chipped due to many pressures such as stress, clenching, grinding, etc. The smaller cracks can be mend by using tooth-colored bonding material, but, sometimes if the crack is severe, then one has to take up to root canal along with bonding. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How Is The Procedure Of Root Canal Carried Out? </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The steps involved in the process are listed below: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">X-Ray:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> If the dentist suspects a need for a root canal, the first thing he will do is to take an X-ray to locate the decayed area.<br /> </span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anesthesia:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The next step involved is giving the local anesthesia. Using an injection, the dentist administers the local anesthesia; This is given to numb the tooth for the procedure. It is not much pain, except the patient might feel a little pinch because of the needle.<br /> </span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pulpectomy:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This is the process of removing the decayed tissue. An opening is made for that. The dentist uses small machines like the drill machine to create an opportunity in the tooth. <br /><br />Next, he will use small files to remove the decayed or affected part. He will then use the data to give shape to the inner chamber of the tooth. He will then irrigate the tooth so that no pulp is left. An antibacterial mouthwash will be used to decrease the risk of further infections.<br /></span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Filling The Tooth:</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This is the final step of the root canal procedure. Rubber-like material gutta-percha is used for this. The dentist closes the opening with a temporary filling.<br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a few weeks, the doctor will fill it with a permanent crown to the tooth. </span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Are The Advantages Of A Root Canal? </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are many reasons why a root canal treatment is beneficial. Some of them are: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Root canal helps <a href="https://www.aae.org/patients/root-canal-treatment" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">maintain your natural smile</a>. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It lets the patient continue to eat the food he likes. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It doesn't need one to visit the dentist too often.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apart from these, there are a few more reasons why it is beneficial to do a root canal treatment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It frees you from all the pain. After the root canal process is done, the patient will be free from any pain he had been experiencing. It kills away from the pain completely.<br /> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Risk of getting the infection again is eliminated. The root canal process scrape of the bacteria entirely, reducing the risk of infection.<br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The patient will be able to resume chewing, biting, etc. after a few days of the root canal treatment.<br /> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It protects the teeth from a strain. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Are The Risks Involved In The Treatment? </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After the root canal procedure, the patient might experience bleeding, swelling and discomfort. But this can easily be treated with medication.<br /> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some patients might react to the local anesthetics. They might feel a rise in their heartbeat and experience shaky hands.<br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During the procedure, the patient has to leave his mouth open for an extended period; This might leave him with a temporary stiffness in the mouth, which might be a little uncomfortable and painful.</span> </li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://kronquistdental.com/root-canals/" target="_blank">Santa Ana Dentist</a></b>, Dr. Jerry Kronquist, says it is essential to visit a well-trained dentist who knows the procedure for root canal very well and who can guide you through the after-effects of the treatment.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Accelerated Overnight <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthokeratology" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Orthokeratology</a> is a procedure during which custom specially made, inflexible; gas permeable molds are worn every night on the cornea. </span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So, What Is CRT?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Corneal refractive therapy is corneal reshaping through the use of overnight lenses designed only for your eye measurements. People who wear glasses or lenses regularly know the hassle and the uncomfortable situations they sometimes get into when they forget their instruments, it is also difficult for them to drive especially for people with high power – they sometimes do not even get a permit!</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What Eye Conditions Does It Solve?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mostly, it is used to treat myopia and is primarily in kids below 15. It can also be used to solve refractive errors like astigmatism, <a href="https://medical-doctor-surgeon.blogspot.com/2017/11/what-is-glaucoma-what-are-its-different.html" target="_blank">presbyopia and hyperopia</a>. A full 20/20 vision is generally expected from this procedure. People with extreme eyesight power can also receive 20/40 vision through CRT.</span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The P</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rocedure Of The Treatment</span></h3>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Your Optometrist will first scan your eye and take its measurements. Then he will match the size and fitting of your lenses so that it is a perfect match for your eye. CRT will reshape your cornea, so you do not have to rely on lenses during the day in a non-invasive (nonsurgical), fast, easy and cost-friendly manner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So rather than using your contact lenses in the morning, and pulling them out at night, these CRT lenses are put on at night for 6-8 hours and removed in the morning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These contact lens devices softly and slowly reshape your eyes during your sleep. Most people have vast improvements in the first couple of days and gain their best vision in 10 days to about two weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Therefore once you get your complete vision back, these lenses still have to be work as they act as retainers for your eyes, so you don't have to rely on glasses or lenses during the day while working or doing any other activity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Research has shown that CRT also slows down the advancement of any eye disorders than its current state so regards prescription updates are unnecessary! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This treatment is most effective on children and teenagers as they hold the results for longer periods of time. But it's approved for all age limits for the young and the adult crowd, and unlike laser treatments that are only allowed for adults and have age restrictions, CRT can be used to help adolescents and small kids too. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.adavisioncenter.com/eye-care-services/orthokeratology-crt-vst/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Corneal Refractive Therapy</a> is one of the best and latest non-surgical, reversible treatments with very low-risk factors. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now, the moment your lenses are taken off the next morning, your readjusted and reshaped cornea will allow light to focus on the retina in perfect alignment so you can walk freely without anything on your eyes throughout the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Disinfection of your lenses chemically after each use is recommended and find out from your doctor about how long they last. </span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Advantages</span></h3>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is no requirement to wear spectacles or contact lenses during the daytime. You are free to explore.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Can be updated regularly to improve results.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nonsurgical procedure.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Very cost effective compared to refractive surgery. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is a reversible process- your normal eyesight is back in about 72 hours after you stop using these lenses. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">CRT also slows down the worsening of nearsightedness compared to standard contact lenses or glasses. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">CRT doesn't cause post-treatment pains like in laser surgery. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Disadvantages</span></h3>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lenses should be worn all throughout every night to maintain the shape of the cornea. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Complete correction isn't achieved. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Longer time to notice visible results.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">High initial cost compared to lenses and glasses and only available for myopia currently.</span> </li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Risks </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is a small risk involved when any contact lens is worn. It is not hoped for that the contact lenses for corneal refractive therapy will produce the danger that is bigger than other contact lenses. Fluctuating or blurry vision are possible side effects of CRT. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Finally, always and always take care of your eye at all times and do not use electronics for long periods! Dr. Durocher, a <b><a href="http://opmt.com/education/crt-corneal-refractive-therapy/" target="_blank">Nashville Optometrist</a></b>, suggests that corneal therapy must be availed under experienced and trusted optometrists.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You have probably heard someone talk about “veneers” once or

<a href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/veneers" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Dental veneers</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> are thin shells customized to fit over your
teeth so that you get a nice, natural, and uniform smile. They are often made
from composite resin or porcelain and are used in cases where your teeth might
be misaligned, chipped, or stained. You can even use them in situations where
you have abnormal spaces between your teeth.</span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />But What Are They?</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Veneers, simply put, are a layer of restorative material
which replaces your tooth enamel and is bonded to your teeth. You can improve
your smile and even get a brighter, whiter smile if other whitening methods
have failed to work. Veneers require very minimal preparation, so they are a
faster and safer alternative to procedures like dental crowns.</span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, How Do You Know If You Need Veneers?</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, there are many situations wherein you might need
veneers:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <b>Your Teeth Are Stained</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If your teeth are severely stained, regular whitening
treatments might not cut it, in which case, veneers can be used as an
alternative to cover up your stains instead. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <b>You Have Cosmetic Imperfections</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many adults might have cracks, chips in their teeth, or
otherwise misshapen teeth but a veneer can cover this for life, rather than
dental bonding which is just temporary. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b>You Could Have Cosmetic Issues</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have cosmetic issues you want to fix, like a stained
tooth or a crooked tooth, you might consider veneers as a way to fix the issue.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can talk to your Covington Dentist about veneers to
decide if they are the right choice for you. You might even be able to rectify
two problems at once, with one procedure if veneers work out.</span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So How Does The Procedure Work?</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You typically need to visit your dentist three times for
your <a href="https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/cosmetic-dentistry/veneers/dental-veneers-pros-and-cons-0515" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">veneers procedure</a>. You have an initial consultation. The second trip is
where the veneers are made. The third trip, the veneers are applied. The
process is the same whether you are treating one tooth or many teeth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Naturally, the cost is contingent upon how many veneers you
require and your dentist. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the first appointment, your dentist will examine your
teeth to make sure this is the best solution. They will likely take x-rays or
impressions of your teeth.</span></div>

½ mm of your tooth enamel which is the same thickness of your veneers. This
will allow your veneers to fit perfectly into space. You will, of course, have
a local anesthetic before this process is done. With that, the dentist will
create a mold of your teeth which will be sent to a laboratory. In 2 to 4 weeks
your veneers will come back, ready to be applied. </span></div>

size and color are correct and trim anything that needs to be trimmed. They
will clean, polish, and prepare your teeth with a bond before they apply the
veneer. Chemicals are used to activate the special bonding cement so that it
hardens immediately. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How Long Do They Last?</span></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Veneers will typically last between seven and fifteen years
at which point they will need to be replaced. Proper <a href="https://medical-doctor-surgeon.blogspot.com/2018/04/what-is-removable-partial-denture-why-is-it-chosen.html" target="_blank">dental care</a> will extend
the lifetime. Much the same, bad dental habits can shorten the lifespan of your
veneers. Veneers can get stained the same way your regular teeth can, so if you
are getting veneers to cover wine or coffee stains, they try to alleviate the
wine and coffee intake thereafter, or your veneers will become stained too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Veneers are not a permanent fix, but they will
help you long term. You can keep good care of your veneers by flossing
regularly, brushing two times per day, visiting your dentist regularly, and
otherwise taking care of your dental health. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_partial_denture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A removable partial denture</a> is a kind of replacement helpful for patients with some missing teeth. It consists of false replacement teeth and supporting tissues and has a pink plastic base. It is also known RPD. It can be removed and worn again by the patient without the help of a dentist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">It is a good option for people who cannot have fixed partial dentures due to some specific reasons. Removable partial dentures do not lie completely on the gap of the missing teeth like complete dentures. It has clasps of metals that can be clipped on the remaining teeth for stability.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />What Are The Different Parts Of Removable Partial Dentures?</span></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The removable partial dentures consist of the following parts:</span></div>
<ol>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Lingual Bar:</b> It is the main metal connector of the dentures and has a U shape.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Small Connectors:</b> The small erect metal bar that emerges from the lingual bar act as small connectors of the false teeth.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Direct Retainers:</b> These are metal bars that hold the teeth snugly and emerge from the lingual bar.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Indirect Retainers:</b> The clasp that joins the pink base to the metal framework of the denture is an indirect retainer.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Base:</b> The base of the denture is made of a pink plastic or acrylic material that looks like the gums and other, other soft tissues of the mouth.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Teeth:</b> The false teeth of the denture is made of plastic or porcelain and is made in the <a href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/d/dentures-partial" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">shape of real teeth</a>.</span></li>
</ol>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why Do People Opt For Removable Partial Dentures?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">People who lose all their teeth opt for complete dentures, but people who have some of their natural teeth may opt for partial dentures to improve their smile as a mouth with missing teeth can be a cause of discomfort and embarrassment. Apart from this people may opt for partial dentures for the following reasons: </span></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes patients do not have posterior teeth needed for supporting the fixed partial dentures. So these patients have to opt for removable partial dentures.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Removable partial dentures are recommended according to the age of the patients. For example, partial dentures are usually suggested to the patient's below the age of seventeen as they have large dental pulp and lack crown height required for fixed partial dentures. <br /><br />A removable denture is also suggested to very old patients as they have reduced life expectancy and they may not be keen on investing money on expensively fixed dentures.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some people have weak periodontal membrane due to periodontal disease. These people are preferably given removable partial dentures as fixed dentures need good periodontal support to transfer the load of the teeth to the underlying bone. Partial removal dentures don't need much periodontal support.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Severe Bone Loss: When there is excessive bone loss due to trauma or periodontal disease then it is very difficult to fix artificial teeth of fixed partial dentures in the correct place. The base of the removable partial denture can be fabricated easily to support the artificial teeth.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Aesthetic: The base of the removable partial dentures mimic the periodontal tissues and teeth emerging naturally from the gingiva, providing good aesthetics. It also gives good support to the lip and cheek and establishes the natural look of the face.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients with special medical and psychological conditions: Removable dentures are also advised to patients with serious physical and psychological problems. <br /><br />Fixed partial dentures are tedious, and doctors, as well as patients, do not want to invest time, money and effort needed for fabricating them.Removable partial dentures are easier to fabricate, and they need short time. It is less demanding for the patients already having health issues.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Patients Wishes:</b> Sometimes patients opt for removable dentures for the following reasons:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They cannot opt for fixed dentures due to financial reasons as fixed dentures are expensive.<br /></span></div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients who want to avoid operative procedures opt for removable partial dentures.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When Are Partial Removable Dentures Avoided?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dr. Roman Fedorciw, <b><a href="https://smiledrs.com/removable-dentures/" target="_blank">a Middletown Dentist</a></b>, recommends avoiding the removable partial dentures under the following circumstances: </span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients with large tongue may have problems with the removable partial dentures as they might push the denture away with their tongue.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mentally disabled people cannot keep removable dentures in their mouth for very long.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Those who cannot maintain proper oral hygiene and clean their dentures should avoid removable partial dentures.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A removable partial denture is a very popular prosthodontic device which helps the patients with missing teeth. Not only does it help the patients to eat their food properly, but they also improve their confidence by replacing missing teeth and <a href="https://medical-doctor-surgeon.blogspot.com/2017/11/dental-implants-a-guide-to-revitalize-your-smile.html" target="_blank">improving their smile</a>.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />When brushing your teeth, you want the toothbrush to be at a 45-degree angle to your gums. You should use circular motions for best results. Brushing your teeth two times per day, at the end and beginning, for two minutes will reduce your risk of many infections, cancers, and other forms of decay by fifty percent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That being said, you don’t always have to rely on traditional toothpaste filled with sodium lauryl sulfate. This is in almost all toothpaste, and it is the stuff that makes shampoo and toothpaste bubble and foam. It also dampens the sweet receptors and increases the sour receptors in your mouth which are why drinking orange juice right after brushing is a painful experience.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can try substituting traditional toothpaste with lemon paste, made with salt and a few drops of lemon. You might also consider baking soda, which not only naturally bleaches your teeth but when mixed with water and salt and made into a paste can grind away at that nasty plaque.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Both the baking soda and lemon mixtures should be used periodically and not every time because they do contain acids which will break down the enamel on your teeth if overused. But every other day is perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In addition to your teeth, your tongue should be scraped clean too. Tongue plaque contributes to bad breath because the bacteria sit there all day after we eat. Tongue scrapers can be used more effectively than toothbrushes, but they are a second product you have to remember to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dental floss is imperative to comprehensive tooth care, according to every Bethesda dentist. If bacteria is left to fester in your mouth by way of food residue in your teeth, it can result in swollen and painful gums. This is why flossing after each meal is the way to go.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you start practicing your flossing activities with your eyes closed, rather than right in front of a mirror, you will cultivate the skills you need to floss on the go—in your car, in your office, or while in bed. Keep floss in your car, purse, office drawer, and nightstand. You will be grateful that you mastered this skill right before a big post-lunch meeting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>3. Healthy Eating</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Crunchy foods will allow you to clean your teeth as you eat. </span><a href="http://www.outofstress.com/apples-good-for-teeth/" rel="nofollow" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Eating an apple</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> a day really does naturally remove plaque from your teeth, but it also provides malic acid which liquefies stains. Other crunchy veggies like carrots, broccoli, and celery stimulate saliva flow which washes away the plaque.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Strawberries are exceptional natural whitening agents, one often used as a natural substitute for harsh chemical treatments. Be sure to wash away any strawberry paste or residue after 5 minutes because the sugars and acids will damage your teeth if you leave them on for too long. Such foods will help keep the exterior layer of your teeth bright and shiny.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another hidden gem among the dental community is to eat a piece of cheddar cheese after your meal. It is theorized that this helps to prevent tooth decay by stimulating enamel remineralization. You can also integrate milk and yogurt which contain phosphorus and calcium, both of which support re-mineralization of your tooth enamel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bacteria which contributes to gum disease often gets stuck below the gum line, but scaling (an intense cleaning) can clean these areas which are often missed during regular dental cleanings. Scaling can be done with dental scalers to remove the plaque manually, or with ultrasonic instruments to chip away at the tartar and wash out the plaque buildup.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are an estimated 40 million Americans have <a href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/s/sensitive-teeth" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sensitive teeth</a>, and yet most of them do not go to the dentist when they should. In fact, one out of every eight people claim to have sensitive teeth but don’t talk to their dentist about it. If you have sensitive teeth, you might feel discomfort when you eat or drink something that is spicy, sweet, hot, or cold. The solution to this is to avoid the foods and drinks which trigger that discomfort.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But in some cases, tooth sensitivity can be a sign of a more serious problem which is why you want to talk about it with your <a href="http://tulsaprecisiondental.com/" target="_blank"><b>Tulsa Dentist</b></a> even if it turns out to be something minimal.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Your teeth are not supposed to break down as an adult. They are supposed to last as long as you do. If you take care of them, they will. It is normal for your teeth to succumb to damage over time. Gums can proceed which exposes the root of your tooth to damage and increases your sensitivity. Your enamel can break down and cause your teeth to be more sensitive. Your teeth might develop cracks and increase your risk of cavities. You might even suffer from other dental problems.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In addition to your regular checkups and cleanings, you should see your dentist immediately if you experience an unusual amount of sensitivity, or if one particular tooth becomes sensitive. Do not wait until your next biannual cleaning. If, for example, you have a crack in your tooth, bacteria can get into that crack and cause an infection. This could even make the crack works. The longer you wait, the higher the chance that your issue will get worse. That is why you want to take care of dental problems as soon as possible. Within a few days of experiencing unusual levels of sensitivity, you should get a dental evaluation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you schedule a visit with your dentist because of unexpected tooth sensitivity, your dentist will ask you questions to rule out underlying causes of your tooth sensitivity. They might ask you how often your teeth have been sensitive, whether all of your teeth are sensitive or just a single tooth, how long it lasts, whether it occurs with certain foods or drinks, and whether you have pain when you chew.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Depending on your answers, your dentist might make a recommendation to do something as simple as changing your toothpaste to one that is meant for sensitive teeth. Your dentist could also recommend that you wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth when you sleep. You might need fluoride treatments to strengthen your teeth. In the worst cases, you might need a surgical procedure. Whatever the situation is, talking to your dentist about the symptoms will help you to decide upon the best thing to do to reduce the problems of sensitive teeth.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are several kinds of toothpaste designed to relieve tooth sensitivity. But do they really work?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Firstly it is important to figure out how they work. When your enamel wears away, and your dentin layer of the tooth is exposed, you are exposing your nerves to sensations like heat or cold from your food and drink. The desensitizing toothpaste will block the porous parts of your dentin so that these nerve endings are not as exposed and therefore the sensitivity not as painful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Whether this toothpaste will work for you or not is entirely contingent upon the cause of your sensitivity. If you have a gum infection that is causing tooth sensitivity, a desensitizing toothpaste will obviously not work. This is an issue that has to be treated by a dentist. That is why it is so important that you talk to your dentist about the sensitivity so that they can help you determine the root cause and provide a course of action based on your situation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In addition, to change your toothpaste, it is recommended that you switch to a softer toothbrush. If you currently use whitening treatments at home, it is best to stop using them. If you have dietary habits that could be harming your teeth, it is in your best interest to change them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And, of course, don’t forget about regular dental care. Brushing and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_floss" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">flossing your teeth</a> regularly can reduce your levels of sensitivity. Always remember to get a brush that fits your mouth, brush your teeth at a 45° angle for two minutes, twice per day.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is an endodontic treatment?</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endodontic_therapy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Endodontic therapy</a> is also known as root canal therapy. In this treatment, the infected pulp of the tooth is removed to protect it from further microbial attack. When the infected pulp is removed, the tooth is saved from additional infections and deterioration. The root canals and the hollows of the tooth are full of nerve tissues and blood vessels and other cells. These tissues, blood vessels, and cells are called dental pulp. </span><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When is an endodontic therapy suggested?</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy is suggested when the tooth is severely damaged by tooth decay and can no longer be restored by dental fillings. Sometimes the infection reaches the pulp and roots of the tooth, and the only way of saving the tooth is pulpectomy and root canal treatment. Root canal treatment is also suggested when there is an infection in the pulp of the tooth due to an injury or blow to the tooth.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What are the different preparations done before the root canal treatment?</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The dentist takes the X-ray of the patient's teeth to see the extent of the damage. Then the dentist begins the root canal by giving a local anesthetic to the patient and numbing the teeth and gums so that the patient does not feel any pain during the procedure. <br /><br />The dentist has to isolate the tooth by placing a rubber dam. It is done to keep the teeth dry and free from germs during the procedure. </span><h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What are the different steps of the root canal treatment?</span></h3>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The dentist does the root canal in four steps: The opening of the tooth: The endodontist opens the tooth by drilling the enamel and dentin tissues. It is done with the help of a dental bur fitted on the dental drill. This opening is called the access cavity, and it is made on the chewing surface of back teeth and at the back side of the front teeth. While creating the access point, the dentist also removes the decayed, loose and fragile parts of the tooth. The patient does not feel any pain when the access cavity is created, but he can still feel the sensation of pressure.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Clearing up the root canal: The dentist clears the root canal by removing the infected pulp with the help of small dental instruments. The root canal is then cleaned and reshaped, and the access canal is enlarged to fill. If a dentist has a modern approach to a root canal then he might make use of a microscope to find, examine and treat root canals that may not be visible to naked eye. Dr. Fay Mansouri, an <b><a href="http://irvineendodontist.com/" target="_blank">Orange County Root Canal</a></b> expert, believes that root canal treatment done with the help of microscope are more successful as it provides a magnified view of the root canal and facilitates better cleaning and disinfection of the root canals.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5-gtmAOCSGdLfX6jhrOu70hosAD-XHQEG1voNw85U2D8S4HySjuN9JV7FgYuDbW4c7wDiONDsSjXFFbzOZPZtx0xl7hAPYgN91lopQHdtqHy-L6ZSYJdeZ5r-_ceyh4zQYJqCopzdsw/s1600/shutterstock_691149274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5-gtmAOCSGdLfX6jhrOu70hosAD-XHQEG1voNw85U2D8S4HySjuN9JV7FgYuDbW4c7wDiONDsSjXFFbzOZPZtx0xl7hAPYgN91lopQHdtqHy-L6ZSYJdeZ5r-_ceyh4zQYJqCopzdsw/s640/shutterstock_691149274.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Filling of the root canal: Filling of the root canal is done in two phases. Initially, the doctor packs the disinfected cavity with medicines and gutta-percha and does a temporary filling of sealer paste and rubber compound to give time for healing. The patient may be called for permanent filling after two weeks. The permanent filling is done with adhesive filling to protect the teeth from saliva and germs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Permanent restoration: As the tooth becomes weak after a decay and has a large filling, a dental crown is required to give it support and strength. A dental crown made of gold, porcelain or metal fused with porcelain can be given to the patient according to his preference. Sometimes a tooth is quite fragile after the drilling, and a metal post is inserted in the tooth to support it. The dental crown is fixed in place, and the root canal therapy is completed.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many endodontists are striving to make the <a href="http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/r/root-canals" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">root canal therapy</a> more comfortable for the patients. Many dentists provide sedation to the patient so that they can relax during the procedure. Sedation is specially offered to the patients who have a phobia of dental treatments and to the children who do not cooperate with the doctor. The sedation provided in dental offices are quite safe and facilitates the efficient and secure procedure.<br /><br />After the tooth has been restored with the help of root canal therapy, it can now look and function like a healthy tooth. The tooth may experience sensitivity for a few days, but it can be managed with the help of over the counter medicines. With proper oral hygiene and care, the tooth can last throughout life.<br /><br /><b>References:</b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-cd3414b4-18ac-83c4-c8e1-213adfd722c7"></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Glaucoma is a condition or eye disorder that primarily affects the optic nerve and worsens over the time. The optic nerve is the primary nerve for vision and is the carrier of information from the eye to the brain. The nerve impulses sent to the brain are transmitted from the retina and are recognized as vision later.</div>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The optic nerve is injured because of the buildup of pressure in the front part of the anterior chamber of the eye that is caused due to the accumulation of fluid. The anterior chamber is usually bathed and nourished due to the flow of a clear liquid. In a Glaucoma patient, this fluid drains slowly than others which is the reason for the fluid build up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glaucoma</a> is considered as one of the most dangerous eye conditions as they show no symptoms in the later stages and show up later in life. The side vision or peripheral vision or the is affected initially, and if the condition is left untreated over the time, it ends up damaging the central vision as well eventually leading to blindness. Blindness due to this condition only occurs in people above 60 and can easily be prevented by early diagnosis and treatment.</span></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Types of Glaucoma</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Glaucoma is of two main types:</div>
</span></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Open-angle Glaucoma: It can also be called as wide-angle Glaucoma by your doctor. It more commonly occurs than the other. The trabecular meshwork, known as the drainage system of the eye, might look normal, but the fluid from the eye doesn't drain the way it should.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Narrow or closed angle Glaucoma: It is also named as acute or chronic angle-closure. The angle between the iris and the cornea is too low which avoids the proper draining of the fluid. The iris is the prime interruption.</span></li>

Glaucoma is also named as the “sneak thief of vision.” It is not noticed by people until it is in the later stage. The first sign that indicates Glaucoma is the loss of peripheral vision. Here are few signs that you need to take an immediate medical appointment:</div>
</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Halos around lights are seen</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Narrowing of vision or tunnel vision.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pain in eye</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Loss of vision</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Redness of eye</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vomiting and nausea</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hazy looking eyes</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Causes</span></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Genetics: If you have a positive family history of Glaucoma you are most likely to develop it at some point in your life.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ethnicity: Eastern Asian people have shallow anterior chamber depths which makes them vulnerable to Glaucoma.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other factors like diabetic retinopathy and central retinal vein occlusion can lead to secondary glaucoma.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eye injuries can also lead to Glaucoma in some people.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some eye surgeries have Glaucoma as a postoperative consequence.</span></li>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://opmt.com/education/glaucoma/" target="_blank">How can it be treated?</a></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Eye drops, laser surgery or microsurgery, are the main options that are usually prescribed by the doctor.</div>
</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eye drops: Eye drops can help manage the condition by either increasing the outflow of the fluid or by reducing its formation. The eye drops can cause a few side effects like irritation, blurred vision, stinging and redness.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laser surgery: The procedure can both increase the flow of the liquid and decrease the blockage in different cases. Trabeculoplasty opens the are of drainage whereas iridotomy is the procedure that allows the free flow of fluid by making a hole in the iris. Cyclophotocoagulation is the surgical procedure that decreases the production of fluid by treating the middle layer of the eye.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Microsurgery: Sometimes a laser surgical procedure called trabeculectomy fails and is redone by implanting a tube that helps in the drainage of the fluid. This surgery has postoperative effects consequences like bleeding, infection and temporary or permanent loss of vision.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://opmt.com/" target="_blank">Nashville Optometrist</a>, Dr. Durocher, recommends having a complete examination of an eye every 1-2 years if your family members have suffered from Glaucoma and if you're above the age of 40. Other systemic diseases increase the risk of the disease. Early diagnosis can save you from the loss of vision. So book an appointment with your eye doctor today!</div>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/what-is-keratoconus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">What is Keratoconus?</a></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keratoconus is an eye disorder that leads to the thinning of the cornea. The cornea of the eyes is dome-shaped. Due to progressive thinning, a conical bulge develops in the cornea. It affects the ability of the cornea to focus on images and leads to blurry vision, double vision, astigmatism, sensitivity to light and nearsightedness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOv8cLFCPyIhfEXKFCAUB7yDpkLvHPO03_jlaEgX60FBRHV7ZvLlaRlboz5ioyh7jxnxFzyorIHtpV-Qkdu9zTo_8VzvymbSYpJDI4VWU9PWzSW3GHwfJ6sn09o_gImv4aKAYDxi28_8/s1600/shutterstock_629382062+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Keratoconus" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOv8cLFCPyIhfEXKFCAUB7yDpkLvHPO03_jlaEgX60FBRHV7ZvLlaRlboz5ioyh7jxnxFzyorIHtpV-Qkdu9zTo_8VzvymbSYpJDI4VWU9PWzSW3GHwfJ6sn09o_gImv4aKAYDxi28_8/s320/shutterstock_629382062+%25281%2529.jpg" title="Keratoconus" width="320" /></a></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What are the causes of Keratoconus?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some of the causes of keratoconus are as follows:</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The weakness of collagens can lead to keratoconus. Collagens are tiny fibers of proteins that hold the cornea in place and helps maintain its shape. When these collagens became weak, they are unable to hold the cornea and the dome shape of the cornea changes and becomes conical.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The imbalance of antioxidants often causes keratoconus. Antioxidants get rid of waste products of the cells of the cornea. The scarcity of antioxidants leads to the destruction of collagens. Collagens helps protect the cornea from bulging out.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keratoconus runs in the family. It can affect more than one person in the family. Recent research shows that specific genetic factors are responsible for its prevalence in the same family.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keratoconus is also related to sun exposure. The UV rays of the sun damage the shape of the cornea.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is also found in people who have the habit of rubbing their eyes </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Allergies that irritate the eyes also causes keratoconus. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Contact lenses that do not fit properly may also lead to <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratoconus" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">keratoconus</a>.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What are the symptoms of keratoconus?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most common symptoms of keratoconus are:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients experience minor blurring of vision which progresses gradually and affects the visual clarity.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Initially, keratoconus is treated like any other eye refractive disorder, and patients are given glasses and contact lenses to do activities like reading and driving.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As keratoconus progresses, people have difficulty in seeing things that are near as well as far.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients with keratoconus have a poor night vision.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Keratoconus affects one eye before affecting the other eye. People initially have difficulty in the visual clarity of one eye.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes patients develop sensitivity to light.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">People suffering from keratoconus see ghost images, or in other words, they see more than one image of a single thing. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients also see distorted images of things surrounded by light.</span></li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How is keratoconus diagnosed?</span></h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients having problems with blurry vision may visit the ophthalmologist or optometrist. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The doctor begins the diagnosis by asking the patient's medical history. The doctor also asks the patient if he has a family history of ocular disease as keratoconus runs in the family.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An alphabetic chart of progressing small letters is presented to the patient, and the patient is asked to identify the letters to check the visual clarity. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A manual keratometer is used to measure the curvature of the cornea.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Retinoscopy is done to see how the retina reacts when beams of light are focused on it. People with keratoconus show scissors reflex action as the doctor focuses the light and then moves it away.</span></li>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How is keratoconus treated?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Patients are initially given glasses and soft contact lenses to treat astigmatism <a href="http://opmt.com/education/keratoconus/" target="_blank">caused by keratoconus</a>. But, as keratoconus progresses, these may not be sufficient for visual acuity. The following types of special contact lenses are available for further treatment of keratoconus:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP): These contact lenses are initially prescribed to the patients to manage keratoconus. Patients with keratoconus have a smooth lens, but their corneal surface is irregular, the rigid contact lenses fill this gap with tear fluid and create the effect of a smooth cornea and improve visual acuity. Though RGP provides excellent optical clarity, it does not arrest the progression of keratoconus.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hybrid contact lenses: RGP lenses are hard, and many people find it very uncomfortable to wear, but the doctor cannot prescribe soft contact lenses to the patients of keratoconus as soft contact lenses conform to the conical shape of the cornea. To tackle this problem, the doctor prescribes a hybrid contact lens which has soft exteriors for the comfort of the patient and hard interiors that does not confirm the conical shape of the cornea. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sclera contact lenses: These contact lenses are suggested to the patients with advanced keratoconus, and it provides better visual clarity by covering more surface of the eye.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Piggyback lenses: Piggyback contact lenses are found comfortable by many patients as hard RGP lenses are worn on top of soft contact lenses. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Other treatments: When contact lenses do not suffice in providing relief to the patient then the ophthalmologist may suggest treatments like Cornea collagen cross-linking, PTK and Cornea transplant.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dr. Durocher, a <a href="http://opmt.com/hendersonville-location/" target="_blank">Hendersonville optometrist</a>, believes that we should choose a good optometrist or ophthalmologist who can guide us in choosing the suitable contact lenses and other treatments according to our needs and comfort.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What is GERD? </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gastroesophageal <a href="https://gi.org/guideline/diagnosis-and-managemen-of-gastroesophageal-reflux-disease/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">reflux disease</a> is commonly known as GERD. It happens when the sphincter muscle located at the end of the esophagus does not close properly. It leads the stomach acid to leak back into the esophagus and irritate the lining of the esophagus. It happens because the leaked back content include stomach acids, pepsin, and bile which can injure the esophagus and cause inflammation.</span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why should we not confuse GERD with trivial heartburns?</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dr. Susan Ng, a <a href="http://www.eastbaygi.com/patient-education/" target="_blank">Gastroenterologist in East Bay</a>, is of the opinion that, though healthy individuals also experience reflux which may lead to burning sensations in the chest and throat, their condition should not be confused with GERD. As patients with GERD, reflux more acidic content, and the acids remain in the esophagus for a longer time. If these acids cause an injury to the esophagus, it may result in esophagitis. This injury may heal with medications, but when the treatment is stopped, the injury may return in a matter of months. GERD is a chronic condition which can last a lifetime and needs special care. </span></div>

</span></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What are the causes of GERD?</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The leading causes of GERD are:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Abnormalities in Lower esophageal sphincter or LES: The LES is a muscular ring surrounding the lower part of the esophagus. When we eat food, the LES opens and relaxes and allows the food to pass to the stomach. When there is an abnormality in the LES, then the LEX relaxes for a long time leading to reflux. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A Hiatal Hernia: people with a hiatal hernia develop GERD. The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the abdomen from the chest. When people have a hiatal hernia, the upper part of their stomach moves up to the chest, through the diaphragmatic hiatus. The diaphragm supports the esophagus. When a patient has a hiatal hernia, the stomach acids reflux easily to the esophagus resulting in GERD. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Esophageal Contractions: Swallowing food is very important for making rings of contractions in the esophageal muscles. Due to this contraction food, saliva, and other materials are pushed to the stomach through the esophagus. Abnormalities in these contractions may lead to GERD.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pregnant women also develop GERD due to hormonal imbalance.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The intake of certain foods and drinks like fatty and fried food, alcohol, etc. may lead to GERD.</span></li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What are the symptoms of GERD?</span></h4>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The primary symptoms of GERD in adults include:</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Heartburn.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having an acidic taste, at the back of the mouth.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Chest pain. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bad breath</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Teeth erosion.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A problem in swallowing food. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">More amount of saliva produced in the mouth. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sore throats and coughing. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Children and infants with GERD cannot explain their uneasiness, but they experience the following symptoms:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How is GERD diagnosed?</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Diagnosis of GERD is done when people complain about the different symptoms. The most common symptom being heartburn. The doctor gives medicines to suppress formation of acids in the stomach, if the patient finds relief in the drug then the doctor confirms GERD. This way of diagnosis is called a therapeutic trial. But sometimes GERD can also be present in people who do not experience its symptoms. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The doctor may also suggest one of the following tests like Endoscopy, Esophageal Acid Testing, Esophageal Motility testing, Gastric emptying studies, and Acid Perfusion test. </span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What are the treatments offered for GERD?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The doctor suggests the following changes in food choices and eating habits, to treat GERD:</span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Eating small portions of early dinner so that the stomach is empty before we sleep.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Avoiding foods like chocolate, fried fatty foods, alcohol, coffee and peppermint reduce the risk of GERD.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The doctor may suggest chewing gums to avoid GERD as chewing gums stimulates bicarbonate-containing saliva and also increases the rate of swallowing. The saliva neutralizes the acids in the esophagus. So chewing gums after meals can be a good idea.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The doctor may also suggest elevating the upper body while we sleep, as stomach acids reflux easily when we lie down.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Along with suggesting lifestyle and food choices, the doctor may also recommend medicines like:</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Antacids: Antacids neutralizes the stomach acids so that there is no reflux. But the relief that antacids bring is short lived.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Histamine antagonist: To provide relief from Acid reflux for a longer time histamine antagonist are prescribed.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Proton Pump Inhibitors or PPI: PPI restricts the secretion of acids in the stomach for a longer time. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Promotility drugs: These drugs stimulate the muscles and increase the pressure in an esophageal sphincter and facilitates the contractions of the esophagus. </span></li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If the patient does not find relief from GERD with medicines, then a surgical procedure called fundoplication or anti-reflux surgery is suggested. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a proper understanding of their problem, care and treatments, patients of GERD usually find relief from their problems.</div>

Complications may take place because your mouth carries a massive amount of bacteria. Therefore, infection and swelling commonly occur with mouth piercings. To give an example, your mouth and tongue could swell so much that you close off your air passage or you could choke if by chance part of the jewelry breaks off in your mouth and move inwards. A tooth could crack if you bite down too hard on the piercing. Repeated contact with the teeth can cause wear down of the enamel. Oral piercing could also lead to more severe infections, like hepatitis or endocarditis.</span></div>

The process includes piercing the dorsal, i.e., top or middle, with the jewelry, to the ventral, i.e., underneath or bottom of the tongue. It is a typical piercing placement and needs the avoidance of major blood vessels during the process. For this type of piercing, Barbells are the most regularly used form of jewelry. After the piercing is made, the barbell studs are screwed on the top and bottom, each to an end of a stainless-steel shaft that extends a little through the piercing.</span></div>

The barbell studs are positioned on the top of the tongue at the lateral borders, keeping the alignment of the barbell post across the tongue's width. However, because this part of the tongue is heavily composed of blood vessels, this type of oral piercing is not a safe procedure, and most professional piercers don't perform it.</span></div>

Many may experience a numb tongue after piercing. That happens by nerve damage which is temporary. But in some cases, it can be permanent. An injured nerve affects your sense of taste, or how you move your mouth and talk. Acute blood loss can take place if your tongue's blood vessels get damaged.</span></div>

Baby teeth have their own set of importance. They help your infant in chewing, biting and even speaking clearly. Dentistry has specific options available for the dental care of your child. However, there are also a few treatments for the adults that can be received by the children.</span></div>

It doesn't matter if your baby is in the nursing stage or the bottle feeding stage, starting a good dental hygiene regimen better if early.</span></div>

Use a soft, wet and clean washcloth to wipe the gums. You can use some tools as the teeth start to erupt. There are small and delicate toothbrushes available for babies.</span></div>

The kids tend to get their first teeth within the first six months of their life. There are many benefits associated with making your child’s first dental visit early. The dentist will evaluate your child’s teeth on each visit which will avoid any severe decay or loss of the tooth. You will be educated about the correct ways of taking care of your child’s oral hygiene at home.</span></div>

They should be able to lose the fear of dental visits that most kids have. The dental office should efficiently have a friendly and comfortable environment during each visit so the child can create a good relationship with the dentist.</span></div>

Their prime objective is to maintain the oral health of children up to their teenage years.</span></div>

However, improper dental care can lead to loss of the temporary teeth before they are supposed to fall out, which can lead to further complications.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_whitening" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Teeth whitening</a> is either bringing back the teeth to the natural shade or going beyond the natural color tone. Such process of whitening is possible by removing stains on the teeth. Stains can be formed by beverages you have, intake of tobacco or by the formation of calculus or tartar on the teeth. Teeth whitening, restoration of the original tooth shade can be done only by professional dentists or by following oral hygiene methods at home. Teeth turn yellow by two ways – inner part of teeth called dentin turns yellowish due to aging, and outer portion turns yellow due to staining.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> Causes Of Tooth Discoloration</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over time your teeth may lose its natural color for several reasons:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Food and drink – Red wine, coffee, and tea are some significant drinks which cause stains on the teeth</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8hl1lcdE8SSHfxwdZzcWIYUXeE7UPE-tg5TDBiOWUVum3nX4S9kE_2CVaY8O1dEY6SvGxXuzvQbLD1uuEIL_lawPuz0j1umWVwFO7oZ_SVVfJMEhmu8UwmucKBOq-H5MxDimqbevwaaU/s1600/shutterstock_642154276.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8hl1lcdE8SSHfxwdZzcWIYUXeE7UPE-tg5TDBiOWUVum3nX4S9kE_2CVaY8O1dEY6SvGxXuzvQbLD1uuEIL_lawPuz0j1umWVwFO7oZ_SVVfJMEhmu8UwmucKBOq-H5MxDimqbevwaaU/s640/shutterstock_642154276.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cause Of Tooth Discoloration</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Tobacco use – Tar and Nicotine are two chemicals that set stains on the teeth. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Age – As one grows older, the outer enamel gets thinner with brushing and the yellowish substance is more visible which makes the teeth appear as stained. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Trauma – If something has hit you and there is an injury in the mouth, there are chances that your tooth may change the color as it reacts to the damage by laying down more dentin under the enamel. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Medications – Tooth discolorations can be a side effect of certain drugs. Young children who are exposed to antibiotics when their teeth are forming may have the stains at later stages of life. </li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
How Teeth Whitening Works?</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Tooth discoloration is a simple process. Whitening/ discoloration is done by two ways – intrinsic and extrinsic discoloration.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Intrinsic</b> –</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">“Intrinsic” refers to the inner part of the tooth which is immersed in hydrogen peroxide gel, which makes the tooth color lighter and gives a brighter look. Intrinsic discoloration can be removed only by way of using a bleaching gel.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Extrinsic </b>–</b></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Extrinsic whitening is the whitening on the outer part of the tooth. It removes stains on the enamel, stains which are formed food, consumption of tobacco or red wine. Such whitening is done by a hygienist by using polishing and whitening toothpaste or by teeth cleaning. Such extrinsic discoloration can be removed only by professional teeth cleaning.</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Symptom</b></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Staining or discoloration is visible as white streaks, brown spots or yellow tints and pits.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Precautions</b></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brushing your teeth after every meal, consumption of wine or tobacco helps prevent staining. Dentists recommend rinsing their mouth after having wine, coffee or other food or drinks which are a probability of staining the teeth. Regular professional teeth cleanings also help in removal of stains.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brushing Teeth</div>
<b></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Treatment</b></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Teeth whitening procedure usually takes fifteen to thirty days of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the stains formed by food and drink can be removed by professional teeth cleanings and some home remedies like following proper oral care (brushing twice a day, flossing and rinsing after each meal).</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Staining can also be removed by applying dental bleaching gel (teeth whitening agent) to the enamel. Such technique is called “Power bleaching.” This method uses bleaching gel and turns teeth whiter in approximately 25 to 40 minutes.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://askthedentist.com/teeth-whitening/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tooth discoloration procedure</a> is also possible at home. The bleaching gel recommended by the dentists is to be used with proper care but, the home remedies are not as reliable as those applied by the dentists during professional tooth discoloration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whitening kits are also available for use, but those contain weaker bleach than that provided by your dentist.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whitening toothpaste helps in removal of stains. Such kind of toothpaste can only remove stains but not total discoloration of teeth.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b>When to seek Professional Intervention?</b></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Extrinsic tooth discoloration is usually considered a cosmetic problem. In case of low confidence or if you feel embarrassed being social about the tooth discoloration, professional intervention is advised. Expert advice should be taken to regain your smile without any effect on gums and teeth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can also consult a dentist if you’re not happy with the appearance of your teeth. In case there is a change in a child’s healthy tooth color, it must be examined by a dental professional.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://arcdentalhouston.com/teeth-whitening/" target="_blank">Houston Dentist</a>, Dr. Kelly Zhao says, “Teeth whitening is a process of polishing and cleaning of the teeth. This process also includes removal of all debris. During this process, gums are protected, and bleaching gel is applied to the teeth. The results depend on the natural tooth shade and the degree of discoloration you have.”</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Experiencing brighter shades in a single visit is normal. It is also normal to experience some tooth sensitivity problems after a whitening treatment.</div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dental implants not only blend in with the appearance of the rest of your teeth but also gives excellent comfort and promises a long-term durability. Implants are known to be one of the best advancements in the last four decades. Let's understand what a dental implant is.</span></span></div>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is a dental implant?</span></span></h2>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Per-Ingvar Branemark is a Swedish orthopedic surgeon who invented the dental implants in 1952. A dental implant is a surgical fixture or component that is placed into the jawbone and acts as an orthodontic anchor for supporting crowns, bridges, and dentures.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dentures can be called as artificial roots or replacement of roots. Implants mainly consist of a titanium post that is placed in your bone surgically below the gum line and fused with the jawbone by a process called Osseointegration. Titanium is a choice of material for dentures as they can integrate into the body without causing problems to the surrounding bone or the body.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dental implants are fixed in your jaw, so they do not come off like partial or removable dentures do. They even help you maintain a good oral hygiene that makes it a better option than dentures.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dental implants have two types that are recognized by the American Dental Association:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Endosteal Implants: These implants are first inserted into the jawbone, and after the healing of gum tissues is done, the original implant is placed through a second surgery. Then an artificial tooth is set on it.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Subperiosteal Implants: Frames are attached to the jawbone, into which the posts are attached. The artificial teeth are then mounted on them.</span></span></div>
</li>
</ol>

The procedure mainly involves:</span></span></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Examination: The dentist will take X-rays, panoramic films, and CT scans to study the site of the mouth to be treated. The quality of the jawbone is also assessed to determine if the bone is enough to hold the implant. The dentist will call you for a few surgical appointments followed by the examination.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Local anesthesia: The procedure is initiated with the application of a local anesthetic solution in the site of the implant to numb the tissues. Use of sedatives can also be done for controlling the anxiety and relaxing the patient.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reflection: The site of surgery is accessed by placing an incision of the gums and reflecting them. In case of flapless surgery, access is gained by only punching a hole in the gums.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bone removal: The next step is to remove the bone by drilling through a bone using a drill at a controlled speed so that the bone is not necrosed or burnt.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Implant placement: The screw is inserted into the bone and fixed into place using a wrench.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The success of an implant highly depends upon a process known as Osseointegration. In this process, the bone grows around the implant increasing its strength and durability. The dentist will ask you to wait for at least 3 to 6 months for the integration process to be completed.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Crown: Once the integration is done, the artificial teeth will be placed. The dentist will customize a tooth according to the size and color of the other teeth in your dentition. It is ensured that the artificial tooth fits and blends in with other teeth.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tissue growth: A healthy band of tissue should grow around the implant so that it is buried or sealed completely.</span></span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why is Root canal treatment required?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You might feel apprehensive about the treatment and might have questions about why you need it. So, it is imperative to know why you might need to undergo this procedure.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tooth contains a hard white layer called enamel beneath which is a softer layer called dentin. The inner part consists of a pulp chamber that includes the root canal system and the pulp. The pulp is the part of a tooth that makes it vital and also nourishes the tooth. It consists of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues. If the root canal becomes infected or inflamed, the tooth might need a root canal treatment. The pulp can be inflamed if there is:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Deep tooth decay</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Repeated procedures on a tooth.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Crack or chip on tooth</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Large dental fillings</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Presence of gum diseases</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Injury or trauma to the tooth.</span></li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why is root canal procedure?</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A root canal treatment or an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endodontic_therapy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">endodontic treatment</a> is a dental procedure that treats a badly decayed or damaged tooth and repairs it to save it. It aims to remove the infected or inflamed pulp that causes pressure on the tooth and cause pain. An endodontically untreated tooth can lead to spreading of the infection to the underlying bone and tissues via the roots. It creates swelling and pain in the gums surrounding it. Since the bone keeps the tooth in the socket, the progression of the disease could lead to loss of tooth from the cavity.</span></div>

</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What to expect during the procedure?</span></h4>
<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://irvineendodontist.com/" target="_blank">Orange County Root Canal</a></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> professional, Dr. Fay Mansouri recommends finding a good endodontist for a successful pain-free treatment. An endodontist is a professional dentist who specializes in the endodontic branch of dentistry recognized by American Dental Association.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The treatment usually is completed in one or two visits. The root canal procedures have advanced to give a painless treatment, and you will feel very little or no pain at all during the process. The method involves:</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Diagnosis: The procedure is started by taking the X-ray of the tooth. It ensures the need for root canal treatment and the extent of the infection. It also helps in confirming the anatomy of the tooth to be treated.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Preparation: It is required to the numb the tooth, and the surrounding structures as the inflammation can cause a lot of pain. The dentist will administer a local anesthetic solution in the gums of the tooth to be treated. The insertion of the needle might pinch a bit but ensures a painless treatment.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Isolation: The tooth to be treated is isolated or separated from the oral environment to prevent contamination. The dentist places a rubber dam sheet over the tooth.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Access opening: A dental bur or drill is used to make a hole or cavity on the biting surface of the back tooth. In the front teeth, the hole is formed on the back side of the tooth.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cleaning and shaping: When the access to the pulp chamber is gained the pulp is removed along with the debris using endodontic files. The canals are then disinfected using antiseptic and antibacterial solutions.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The canals are then filled with a rubber-like material called Gutta Percha to prevent further infection.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The canals are then sealed using a temporary filling to protect it until a permanent filling or crown is placed.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Until the placement of the crown, it is normal for the tooth to be sensitive.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You will be called for a second visit where the crown is placed according to your preference. The crown helps to provide strength to the tooth which gets prone to fracture due to the treatment.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A root canal treatment is a relatively less painful or painless option. It is handy for saving the tooth. You can very easily and quickly get back to smiling and chewing without problems.</span></div>

This kind of glaucoma is caused when the eye cannot drain the right amount of fluid and this fluid deposits elevating the intraocular pressure. This type of glaucoma does not show any symptoms. It develops very slowly. If it is not cured, it can lead to gradual loss of vision. But if it is diagnosed early, medications can bring positive changes.</span></div>

The correct reason for this type of glaucoma is not known. But it is observed that this kind of glaucoma is inherent. It is also common in people of Japanese origin and people having heart disease.</span></div>

But if the problem persists then the optometrist may refer the patient to an ophthalmologist for surgery. The ophthalmologist may recommend surgery to destroy tissues and clear drainage paths so that the fluids do not deposit in the eye and the intraocular pressure is maintained. </span></div>

Initially, the ophthalmologist may give medicines, but if it doesn't work, then the doctor might suggest a laser surgery (laser peripheral iridotomy). In this operation, small holes are made in the iris to drain extra fluid. Patients with acute narrow-angle glaucoma need immediate treatment as they experience severe eye pain and nausea.</span></div>
