Top prosthodontics dentist Hampstead, north London near me? Why do I have to give a medical history when I attend the dentist? The dentist not only needs to check the health of your head and neck and inside of your mouth but is also assessing your overall health. This includes your past and current medical history, any allergies or chronic medical conditions and any medication you might be taking. Letting the dentist know what medication you are on is important as some medications have an effect on the treatment that the dentist prescribes. For example, some medications cause your glands to produce less saliva causing “dry-mouth”. This can increase the risk of decay for some people as the plaque is more likely to dry on the teeth rather than be washed away by saliva. The dentist and hygienist can advise ways to reduce such risks and a full medical history can help them to assist you.

Scientists have discovered that periodontal disease is linked to coronary heart disease and stroke, especially for people who smoke or have high blood pressure. What is the treatment for bad breath? Once we have determined the degree and cause of the breath problem, the treatment can take many forms. If medical problems are found to be the underlying cause of bad breath, proper referral will be made. Recommendations will be made by the dentist to correct and treat any dental disease that is directly related to the breath problem or gum disease. Our hygienist will monitor and chart the condition of your gums before and after root planing and scaling. She will instruct in the best way to brush your teeth and gums and will advise on best devices and products to use as an effective home care program to destruct the volatile sulfur gases. In some patients with high decay rate our hygienist will perform a SALIVA TEST which acts as a screening aide for dental caries and can determine the presence of plaque retentive sites with high bacterial counts.
Teeth that are chipped or broken? Just as porcelain veneers can be used to lengthen the appearance of worn down teeth, they can also be used to cover teeth that have been chipped or broken. Your dentist will simply smooth off any rough ages before laying your porcelain veneers over the top of any damaged teeth. Then, all you will be able to see is the flawless outer shell of the veneer, leaving you with perfectly shaped teeth. Porcelain veneers can even be used for wonky teeth and those with gaps in between. Whilst they will not be able to actually straighten your teeth, they can make them appear straighter to the world in just three appointments. This makes them extremely popular with patients facing lengthy treatment time for other ‘straightening’ methods.
A comprehensive report and treatment plan will be written out for you clearly detailing clinical and aesthetic problems, treatment solutions and options, treatment appointment sequencing and duration and estimated costs. This ensures you are perfectly satisfied with all aspects of the recommended treatment, and that it meets with all your needs and wishes. There is no obligation to proceed with dental treatments at this stage. Dr Sanei is more than happy for you to take time to read through your report and treatment plan at home before deciding. At Dental Perfection, you can also book a further complimentary visit after your initial examination to ask any questions. Dr Sanei would be delighted to explain his recommendations to you by email, phone or during a second complimentary discussion appointment to make sure you are fully aware of the findings, the benefits of treatment and successful outcomes.
