THE PANDEMIC WELL YES, IT DOES AFFECTS ON HUMAN DENTAL HEALTH
Stress caused by the pandemic is the far most reason to affect our dental health? Turkey Medicals member and our Specialist in gum diseases and surgery Doctor while gave more information on the subject, it was underlined that “we are in an ideal period for dental treatments” the Turkish doctor notes, “in this period when working from home became common, it is ideal to complete the Dentist treatments that are waiting in line, as well as the treatments that are left unfinished.” added information about the health of teeth and gums, aesthetic practices about the curious below
First, the pandemic is a source of stress. Stress affects our entire body, as well as our oral health. The most visible of these effects are tooth tightening and grinding. Tooth grinding or tooth tightening is a bad stress-induced habit that affects the tissues that support the tooth, the jaw joint, and the jaw muscles. It usually occurs during sleep, but depending on the intensity of stress, this habit can also continue during the daily routine.
Excessive force caused by tightening or creaking teeth can cause wear and tear in the teeth, withdrawal, redness and swelling in the gums, and can cause serious damage to the jaw joint and jaw muscles. In addition to joint pain and the inability to open the mouth, this damage to the jaw joint and muscles also causes ear, head and neck pain. In addition, due to tooth tightening, porcelain restorations on the teeth or root canal treatment may occur in the teeth breakage and cracking.
Again, during this period, there may also be an increase in tooth decay due to excessive consumption of sweets due to stress, or gum disease due to excessive smoking. As the level of cortisol in the body due to stress increases, the basis for gum diseases is prepared. Given all this, oral and dental health is important, especially during the pandemic period, when stress is very intense. During this period of restrictions, we recommend that our patients not neglect their dental health as much as possible.

OPPORTUNITY FOR PANDEMIC ORTHODONTIC TREATMENTS
Yes, this process can be turned into an opportunity. Perhaps the biggest advantage of the pandemic period, when we had great difficulties, is actually orthodontic treatments. During this period, many of us are in homes and even if we go out, we have to wear masks. Therefore, orthodontic treatment, which causes aesthetic anxiety in many people, can be finished in the blink of an eye without being noticed under masks. I also say the same for my patients who need implant treatment and have to go toothless for a period. I think that this period is the best period when you will have dental treatments due to the fact that social contact is minimal and the use of a mask is mandatory.

NO AGE OF BRACES TREATMENT
First, there is no age of orthodontic treatment. The perception that only children who are known to the public are attached to the wire is wrong. For the Orthodontic treatments in Turkey are not always applied for aesthetics. Currently, we receive support from orthodontic treatment in many branches of Dentistry. Our goal to recommend orthodontic treatment, especially in older people, may be to prevent periodontal disease or stop its progression. Because perplexed teeth are difficult to clean, they invite bacterial plaque involvement and therefore periodontal, that is, gum diseases.
Most of the time we get support from Turkish orthodontic treatment, even for Smile Design, gummy smile treatment, before prosthetic restoration or to repair a broken tooth. For the above reasons, in some cases, our goal in orthodontic treatment can be not only aesthetic, but also to treat or protect the health of teeth and gums. Orthodontic treatment lasts from 6 months to 2 years on average. Today, with the advancement of technology, the digital orthodontics option has also been raised. In addition, apart from metal and porcelain brackets, transparent plaque treatment, personalized bracket construction and three-dimensional planning thanks to Turkey orthodontic treatment can be more comfortable, more aesthetic and in less time.

WHAT METHODS ARE USED IN SMILE AESTHETICS TURKEY JCI HOSPITALS?
Today, when it is called Smile aesthetics, everyone thinks of porcelain veneers or laminates. But in fact, there is no need to do porcelain restoration all the time, often a simple intervention on the gums or teeth whitening or simple composite fillings can also achieve a healthy and aesthetic smile. If we are considering restoration of porcelain, a digital planning is done first and the model is obtained. A prototype is prepared from acrylic, which we call wax up, which shows the finished state of the teeth on this model. After this prototype is transferred to the patient’s mouth, the necessary assessments are made and actual restorations are prepared accordingly. Another important issue in Smile aesthetics is pink aesthetics. Even if you do fantastic restorations, you can’t provide the aesthetics you want in the presence of too many visible gums that we call unhealthy, red, bleeding or gumy smile. Therefore, before making aesthetic restorations, gum health and appearance should be evaluated. In addition, many factors such as lip posture, thickness, sagging and lip nose distance are also very important in Smile aesthetics.
