No Comments Filed under: Stomatologie How to Choose the Right Dentist Written by admin Posted at 10:30 am Author: Westfield Dentist Going to the dentist at least twice a year is essential to having strong and healthy teeth. However, this simple chore is somewhat elusive to many people, simply because they don’t like or enjoy going to the dentist. However, most people don’t like going to the dentist only because they probably haven’t found the right dentist for them. They haven’t found the dentist that makes them feel comfortable before and after any procedure. They haven’t found the dentist that explains everything in a clear and precise manner so no surprises come up. Having the right dentist for you is necessary in order to have a pleasant experience during a dental visit. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DuGQ4FIUmwk/TelPMb85IZI/AAAAAAAAAQs/Wwq0boBFLb8/s1600/un-petit-garcon-chez-le-dentiste-10466900yfqhl_2041.jpg Finding the right dentist for you, one that fits all of your needs such as availability, right personality, and proper skill set, can be challenging if you don’t know where to start or if you don’t have the right tools. For someone who has never had to choose a dentist, the task can even be a bit overwhelming. However, there are some basic simple steps that you can take in order to find the right dentist for you. First, you should rely on your circle of trust and ask the people closest to you. This includes trusted family members, trusted friends, and trusted co-workers. This may seem like common sense, but those people can most likely recommend a dentist with whom you would get along. You can also ask your doctor to recommend a dentist, as many times doctors and dentists have referral programs with each other. Second, for residents here in New Jersey, you should contact the NJ Dental Association and ask for a referral. For any other state, you should contact the local state dental association. Third, again for New Jersey residents, you should call the UMDNJ dental school clinic and ask for a referral. For any other state, you could call any local dental school clinic. Fourth, you should consult the American Dental Association’s member directory. An ADA approved dentist is definitely one that you should keep in mind and consider as one of your options. Finally, if you are movig to a new area, you should ask your current dentist for a referral. After you’ve gathered a couple of dentists to choose from, you should also keep in mind some points and questions to ask yourself in order to better evaluate whether or not the dentist is a right fit for you. First, you need to determine how accessible the dentist is. Is his or her office near your home or job? Is it easy to get the appointment times that you need? Second, make sure the office is clean and well kept. The dentist should wear gloves, a mask, and a gown. You should also ask him or her about instrument sterilization procedures. Third, make sure that the dentist has a pleasant and respectful relationship with his staff. A good dentist will have a good relationship with his or her staff in order to keep things running smoothly. Fourth, consult with the dentist about your dental history. Make a decision as to whether or not you like the way he or she explains preventative measures and treatments. Do you feel comfortable sharing your concerns with the dentist? Are the dentist’s explanations clear? Fifth, ask about fees, payment, and insurance plans. You should definitely discuss these before agreeing to any kind of treatment. Sixth, ask the dentist if he or she provides a way for you to receive emergency, after-hours care in case of a dental emergency. Lastly, ask how long the dentist has been practicing and what sorts of continuing education he or she has pursued in order to keep up with new developments in the field. Using these basic steps, you can generate a list of many dentists to choose from in your area. Keeping in mind the latter points and questions can help you easily narrow down that list so you can find the perfect dentist for you. You can use these tips to find the right dentist that will fit your needs so you can have strong and healthy teeth for a long time.

It is important to find the right South Kensington dentist or specialist for your situation to save you both time and trouble. While there are some dental practices like Kensington Dental that offer general, cosmetic and specialty dentistry, there are many South Kensington dental practices that do not. In general, dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the gums, jaw, teeth, mouth and maxillofacial areas. The most common type of South Kensington dentist is a general practitioner, or someone who works with a general knowledge in all of the above areas. This type of dentist can take x-rays of your teeth, prescribe medication (including sedatives to take before an upcoming procedure you feel nervous about) and perform minor dental surgeries like simple root canals, tooth extractions and the treatment of cavities. There are also some dentists who specialise in working with children and adolescents—they are known as pedodontists or pediatric dentists. One of the next most common types of South Kensington dentists is an orthodontist, or a dentist who specialises in correcting conditions like overbites, underbites and crooked or overlapping teeth. Officially, orthodontists are responsible for the straightening of teeth and the modification of certain types of facial and jaw growth. Orthodontists use specialty equipment like braces, headgears and retainers to correct these conditions. Another common type of South Kensington dentist is an oral surgeon, or a dentist who specialises in complicated surgical procedures in the mouth. Oral surgeons can do anything from more complex tooth extractions and root canals to treating mouth cancers, tumors and cysts. Oral surgeons might also correct conditions like cleft palate, lip reconstruction and TMJ disorders, and may also work with accident victims to help reconstruct facial tissue or insert dental implants. Cosmetic dentistry is also a popular specialty in South Kensington. Cosmetic dentists do procedures from teeth whitening to veneers to enamel shaping to dental implants. Although people may get braces to improve the way they look, cosmetic dentists do not work with braces. Less common but still a prominent type of South Kensington dentist is the periodontist. A periodontist specialises is the prevention and treatment of gum disease. Periodontists may use surgical and non-surgical procedures to treat the periodontium, including maintaining and installing related dental implants. One of the more rare South Kensington dentists is the endontist. An endontist specializes in performing difficult root canals. Endontists are also experts in diseases and disorders related to the dental tissue, known as pulp, that is at the root of our teeth. Another rare type of South Kensington dentist is either a dental and maxillofacial pathologist or radiologist. A dental pathologist studies, diagnoses and occasionally treats dental and maxillofacial diseases. Likewise, a dental radiologist is an expert in reading and interpreting x-rays that relate to dental and maxillofacial conditions. There are a wide variety of South Kensington dentists to assist you in any of your dental needs no matter how simple or complex.

Nous ne prenons pas suffisamment soin de nos dents. Une négligence à l’origine de bien des ennuis, surtout pour les sportifs.

Combien d’entre nous se brossent-ils les dents après chaque repas ? Et combien sont-ils à changer de brosse à dents tous les 3 mois comme le recommandent les dentistes ? Les statistiques répondent: avec seulement 1,4 brossage par jour et 2 brosses utilisées par an, le marché français est loin des recommandations des dentistes.
Pire, 50% des consommateurs ne se brosseraient pas les dents le soir et 57% des enfants de moins de 5 ans n’auraient jamais lavé leurs dents.
Une négligence dont les conséquences ne prêtent pas à sourire. 90% des Français ont des problèmes de gencives pouvant entraîner à terme la perte de leurs dents, 95% des adultes et 70% des enfants de 12 ans ont au moins une carie.
A l’origine de ces troubles se trouve la plaque dentaire et le tartre dont on ne sait pas très bien ce qu’ils recouvrent.
Présentes dans la salive, les bactéries proviennent en partie de la dégradation des aliments que nous mettons en bouche. Elles s’agglutinent dans le sillon entre la dent et la gencive pour former la plaque dentaire. Lorsque celle-ci se calcifie, elle durcit sous forme de tartre. Sous les gencives, la plaque provoque une inflammation des gencives et, au moment du brossage, des saignements, premier signe d’une atteinte. Ensuite, les bactéries grignoteront l’émail pour creuser des caries et la plaque épaissie finira par déchausser les dents.
Apparemment banale et sans gravité, une denture en mauvais état peut avoir des conséquences sur la santé, qui deviennent dramatiques pour la compétition sportive.
Par conduction nerveuse, une infection dentaire peut, à distance, déclencher une tendinite, une douleur musculaire ou une sinusite. On a relaté de nombreux exemples d’athlètes qui ont vu disparaitre une tendinite rebelle après l’extraction d’une dent de sagesse. Dans d’autres cas, la cause n’est plus l’infection mais le mauvais engrènement des dents supérieures et inférieures. Les mandibules travaillant en porte-à-faux, déclenchant à la longue des spasmes des muscles masticateurs qui se transmettent aux épaules, au dos et aux bras.
Des visites régulières chez le dentiste doivent faire partie de la préparation sportive.
Des principes à inculquer dès l’enfance pour qu’ils deviennent automatismes.
Pour se glisser partout, la brosse à dents doit avoir une petite tête et des poils de longueur et dureté différentes.
Brosser chaque mâchoire, de la gencive vers la dent, en un mouvement rotatif sur toutes les faces des dents. La brosse électrique est idéale pour effectuer ce brossage (3 minutes).
Le dentifrice doit être adapté à vos besoins : au fluor en cas de caries fréquentes et pour les enfants, anti-plaque pour tout le monde, anti-tache si vous fumez ou si vous buvez beaucoup de café ou de thé (OELESSENCE A L’ARGILE BLANCHE) , spécial gencives pour prévenir les saignements (OELESSENCE A L’ARGILE ROUGE).
Les liquides avant et après-brossage améliorent et prolongent l’efficacité du brossage.
