TOOTH LOSS AND THE PROBLEMS
Dentist Kepez Diş Sağlık ‘ hastane merkez, said that “the biggest problem in oral health and tooth loss in Turkey, noting that treatments requiring surgical intervention, including implant treatment for tooth loss, should be considered as the last possibility.
Turkey Medicals member and Implant Kepez merkez, a dentist who has worked in many private dental hospitals in Ankara and Istanbul, now continues his work in his own private examination in Istanbul Fındıkzade, said that oral health in society is not considered a disease, “someone with the flu goes to the hospital, but the tooth hurts, drinks painkillers and waits for the pain to stop. The biggest reason for this perception is lack of Education. The state must provide education on the importance of dental health from primary school and raise awareness for citizens. Especially in Europe, this issue is very important; there are countries where those who do not have a dental check every six months lose the right to benefit from all their health insurance. Because dental treatment in Europe is very expensive, so we treat many European patients in our country.
Because turkey prices are cheap for them, they can do both dental treatments and vacation. Another reason why Turkish society is not sufficiently related to dental treatment is that these treatments are expensive, and insurance also covers a very small part of these treatments, so a citizen who has problems with oral health can ignore this problem for financial reasons,” he said.
Stating that the biggest oral health problem is tooth loss in Turkish society, Şahin said that in recent periods, patients most often ask questions about implant treatment, “I think a surgical intervention should be done only in case of necessity. Every surgical procedure has a risk, an uncertainty. Less surgery means less risk. Everyone’s opinion is different, but my opinion is in this direction. There are some commercial concerns in this sector, of course, I do not say this for all implants, but I compare it to a bit of cesarean delivery,” he said.
Dentist, who said that the patient’s desire for Implant treatment also faces them as a guiding element, said: “if there is an infected condition during function in the area where the implant is struck, tissue loss can occur. Although bone tissue taken from other parts of the body tries to remove this, the jawbone is not the same. In addition, the teeth are connected to the bone by fiber-type ligaments called ligaments, which act as suspension during an impact. In the implant, the prosthetic tooth also lacks this protection, as it is inserted by striking the bone. The pressure passes directly to the jawbone. Patients need to think about that, too. I think things that are risky should always be done last,” he said.
