No, root canal treatment is not a painful procedure. With modern dentistry, local anesthesia is used so that no pain is felt during the treatment. There may be mild sensitivity after treatment, but this usually passes within a few days. It can be easily controlled with pain relievers.
Dental implant treatment is usually completed within 3-6 months. In the first stage, the implant is placed and allowed to integrate with the bone for 3-4 months. After this period, the superstructure and porcelain tooth are attached. The duration may vary depending on bone structure and general health condition.
Professional teeth whitening procedures do not damage tooth enamel. Whitening treatments performed by dentists use approved products and correct techniques. Temporary sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but this is short-term and does not cause permanent damage to the tooth structure.
It is generally recommended to have a dental checkup twice a year, every 6 months. Regular checkups help detect dental problems early and treat minor issues before they grow. The frequency of checkups may be increased for people at high risk of gum disease or cavities.
Zirconia crowns are more aesthetic and durable compared to metal-supported porcelain. Since they contain no metal, they are gum-compatible and have no risk of allergic reactions. They provide a natural tooth appearance thanks to their light transmission. They are especially preferred for front teeth. Porcelain crowns are a more economical option but are not as aesthetically successful as zirconia.
You should take your child for their first dental checkup when their first tooth erupts or at the latest when they turn 1 year old. Early checkups help prevent tooth decay and help your child become familiar with the dental environment. Pediatric dentists use special techniques to comfort young patients.
For the first 24 hours after tooth extraction, avoid touching the extraction site, spitting, and sucking. Avoid extremely hot and hard foods. Bleeding may occur on the first day; you can control it by pressing gently with a clean gauze. Stay away from smoking and alcohol. Use the pain relievers recommended by your doctor regularly.
The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on the person's dental structure and treatment plan. On average, it takes between 12-24 months. While 6-8 months may be sufficient for mild cases, it can take 2-3 years for complex situations. After treatment, wearing a retainer is necessary for the retention phase.
Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding, swelling, redness, recession of the gums, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity. Bleeding during tooth brushing is one of the most common symptoms. In advanced cases, tooth loosening and abscess formation may occur. You should consult your dentist immediately when you notice symptoms.
Smoking seriously negatively affects dental health. It increases the risk of gum disease, slows wound healing, and reduces implant success rates. It causes yellowing and staining of teeth. It also significantly increases the risk of oral cancer. The risk of tooth loss in smokers is 2-3 times higher than in non-smokers.
