Bad Childhood Habits as a Reason for Orthodontic Issues - Short, Informative Interview with Dr. Dobrila Kangova , General Dentist at Korona Dental
Which are the most
common causes of orthodontic irregularities?
Great percent of orthodontic problems are genetically
inherited, in particular the skeletal ones related with the jaw and the bones.
They develop due to irregular functions, bad habits and premature extraction of
primary teeth or prevalence of dental trauma.
The presence of a bad oral habit throughout the stage when the child grows and develops may cause an orthodontic issue. Until what extent the issue will develop, depends on the frequency and repetition of the bad oral habit, intensity and timeframe related with the age of the child. Most common bad habits include prolonged finger, pacifier and objects sucking, lip-biting and tongue thrusting which pushes the teeth forward.

Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease degenerates the bone and soft tissues that support the teeth themselves caused by bacteria (germs) present in the inflammatory process. It affects one or more teeth. Most often due to lack of hygiene, dental plaque starts to build up on teeth. The gums are reddening, swollen and gradually start bleeding. This phenomenon is called gingivitis. Longer persistence of gingivitis when untreated transforms into periodontitis. Over time, plaque bacteria begin to produce toxins that irritate the gums and inflammation becomes chronic. As such, it leads to loss of bone and soft tissues - the natural teeth supporters. This phase is followed by stability destruction, thus to gradual teeth loss.In order to avoid or at least slow down the progress of gingivitis, it is essential to regularly brush your teeth, floss and visit the dentist for a check up, early diagnosis and get advice on preventive measures.

What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment or tooth devitalisation is made when the soft part of the tooth, i.e. the pulp or nerve is inflamed or infected, which may be a consequence of deep cavity, inadequate medical treatment, crack or a tooth trauma. The pulp treatment and healing is done under anesthesia (if necessary) and it is completely painless. Very often the root canals are anatomically different, curved and narrow, which takes appropriate modern treatment i.e. technical treating of the root system itself. In our dental office we work with modern equipment and powerful methods and techniques, however there are often unsuccessful endodontic cases where previously treated teeth are poorly filled or contributed to a broken instrument.
Yet, these cases can be successful if retreated. In addition, the earlier you visit the dentist the better, since the chances to save your teeth are much higher.

Implants vs Dentures - Which one is Better for You?
Dentures are removable appliances for your mouth. They replace both missing teeth as well as parts of the gum tissue. The material they are made of is a pink gum colored acrylic base which supports the denture teeth. Some dentures include a lightweight metal framework that provides extra strength and support. There are two types of dentures: complete or partial. The former one is applied when the patient has no natural teeth remaining and the latter is applied when there are some natural teeth remaining.

What is the Right Toothbrush for You?
We all know the essentials about the choice, durability and toothbrush hygiene, yet it is worth mentioning that in general the toothbrush should be replaced once or twice within six month period especially if its bristles are deformed or we had a flu before as the possibility of reinfection is high.
There are toothbrushes with soft, medium and hard bristles as well as different density and materials they are made of. It is important to choose a toothbrush with high-density bristles made of natural material for efficient cleaning and plaque removal.
It is recommended that the toothbrush has soft bristles and with the correct brushing technique not only will the teeth be cleaned but also the gums. Should the opposite apply, then the gums will suffer and retract which will expose the teeth roots and damage their enamel.
One should also consider the toothbrush head, as the oral cavity and teeth size are unique for every human. It is simple, tooth brushing should be pleasant, effective and thorough.
