From birth, the entire human body undergoes numerous changes for its growth and development. Boys and girls go through the exchange of “baby teeth” with permanent teeth. But not everything is perfect. There are cases when the teeth are not born properly aligned and, in addition, there are patients who do not take ideal oral health care. With this, problems appear: bad breath, tartar, cavities. Reasons why parents and carers are referred dental treatmentsdivided into CLINICAL e aesthetic🇧🇷 What is the difference between the two? Dr. Keity Tabosa, dental surgeon and owner of Beauty Face Dentistry and Facial Harmonizationclarifies doubts.
Clinical. Dr. Keity mentions that it is anyone who aims to preserve or restore health to a patient. “Canal, caries removal and restorations in composite resin or glass ionomer cement; Supra and subgingival scaling, prophylaxis and topical application of fluoride and removal of residual roots are some of the most cited examples”.
aesthetic🇧🇷 The dentist explains that the main objective is to improve the aesthetics of the smile and that it is perfectly possible to smile like a movie star. According to her, the resources of aesthetic dentistry are abundant: correcting the gummy smile with plastic surgery of the gums or the application of botulinum toxin; dental contact lenses or dental veneers (improves the size, shape and color of teeth); orthodontic treatment, including invisible braces; teeth whitening; implants and fixed prostheses in porcelain to replace lost teeth. “Facial Harmonization procedures came to greatly expand the range of aesthetic dentistry, because it is also a dental specialty.”
In the first questions. An oral clinical examination is performed and there is an analysis of imaging tests, such as panoramic radiographs and CT. Before starting any treatment, a brief study of the patient’s general condition is of great importance.
No. All ages have access to cosmetic dentistry. From children to the elderly. To give you an idea, young children who are in the process of changing their teeth can use braces with their missing teeth, for example for a birthday party. Now, with the increase in life expectancy, it is common for the elderly to use braces for correction. It’s nice to see how aesthetic dentistry transforms the lives of citizens, from zero to a hundred years!
At the end of the topic, Keity Tabosa explains about the maintenance of each procedure. “It is a general consensus that a visit to the dentist should generally be done every six months. But there are customers who perform a more rigorous check every two or three months. It depends on the case. However, only the professional, with experience, determines the ideal interval between appointments.
