SOUTH MOVING OVER TO DAYTONA FOR
BIKE WEEK.
WE'RE ALL SMILES ABOUT OUR
POSITIVELY JAX EVENT COMING UP
IN APRIL, WE'RE PARTNERING WITH
THE FLORIDA DENTAL ASSOCIATION
AND THE RESULT IS YOU GET FREE
DENTAL CARE THIS MORCH WE'RE
FOCUSING ON A COMMON TOOTH
PROBLEM THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A
LOT.
IT IS CALLED SENSITIVITY, LET'S
TALK ABOUT WAYS TO PREVENT ITS
GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
SOMETIMES IT IS A HOT DRINK,
SOMETIMES A COLD DISPRIRCHG GET
SENSATION IN YOUR TEETH AND IT
IS UNBEARABLE, WHAT CAUSES THE
PROBLEM?
.
VERY OFTEN IT CAN BE
ASSOCIATED WITH SEVERAL THINGS,
ASSOCIATED WITH ROOT RECESSION
AND EXPOSES THE ROOT, IT CAN BE
DUE A CRACKING IN THE TOOTH
POSSIBLY OR A FILLING STARTING
TO GIVE WAY.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU NEED
TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AND MAYBE
DUE TO CLINCHING AT NIGHT.
THERE ARE OVER THE OVER-THE-COUNTER
WHAT IS THE BEST AND MOST
EFFECTIVE WAY TO COUNTER THE
EFFECT.
THERE ARE SOME TECHNOLOGIES
COMING OUT AND DESENSE SIZE AERS
THERE ARE SEVERAL THAT YOU CAN
USE, YOU BRUSH WITH THEM NIGHTLY
AND BUILD UP, PROTECTION ON THE
ROOT SURFACE AND A LOT OF THEM
ARE POTASSIUM BASE AND THAT
HELPS SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS.
NUMB IT?
IT DOESN'T REALLY NUMB THE
TOOTH IT STOPS THE INTERCHANGE
BETWEEN THE NERVE INSIDE THE
TOOTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND
THE MOUTH.
SO HOT, COLD, ACIDIC FOOD.
BIGGER PROBLEMS IN ADULT
THAN CHILDREN?
MOREMORE SO IN ADULTS.
SOMETIMES INCORRECT BRUSHING CAN
LEAD TO RECESSION YOU KNOW AGAIN
AS WE AGE SOMETIMES YOU GET
CRACKS ON THE TEETH.
THESE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BECOME
PROBLEMATIC IF NOT DEALT WITH BY
A PROFESSIONAL IT STARTS TO
BECOME MORE PROLONGED OR THE
PAIN BECOMES DEEPER YOU SHOULD
SEE A DENTAL PROFESSIONAL FOR
CARE YOU CITED A COUPLE OF
THINGS CRACK IN THE TOOTH MAYBE
THE ROOT IS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD
BE OR GUMS HAVE RECEEDED.
ARE THERE PREVENTIVE MEASURES WE
CAN TAKE BEFORE WE GET TO THE
PROBLEM?
SURE, BEING A DENTAL
PROFESSIONAL, AGAIN, FOR YOUR
ANNUAL CHECKUP MAKE SURE YOU'RE
NOT EXPERIENCING GUM DISEASE,
NOT EXPERIENCING DECAY, YOU'RE
NOT HAVING ISSUES THAT COULD
STIMULATE TOOTH SENSITIVITY.
WE HAVE PICTURES THAT
ILLUSTRATE THE PROBLEM.
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SERVICAL
DECAY AS WELL AS NEW TRITIONAL
HABITS THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A
CRACKED TOOTH.
THIS HAS THE ROOT CANAL, BUT THE
TOOTH DID CRACK AND YOU CAN SEE
BELOW AT THE END OF THE ROOT
WHERE THE DAMAGE IS DONE AND THE
PATIENT IS STARTING TO FEEL
SENSITIVE AROUND THAT AREA.
IT IS LIKE YOU HAVE AN OPEN
WINDOW AND IT IS COLD OUTSIDE
THE COLD AIR COMES IN SAME THING
WITH A CRACKED TOOTH IT ALLOWS
THE SENSE DISWRIEFTD AIR IN YOUR
MOUTH, ABSOLUTELY.
THIS IS ANOTHER INDICATION
THAT THIS IS MORE PATIENT'S
TOOTH DEVELOPMENT WE ENDED UP
WITH AN AREA OF LACK OF ENAMEL
AND YOU'VE GOT THAT SCWA.
IS SOME OF THIS INHERED?
.
IT IS, HERE IS A PICTURE
BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT TEETH
THERE THAT IS PINK AND EXPRED
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE PATIENT
STARTED DEVELOPING SENSITIVITY.
SO SHE SAW HER DENTAL
PROFESSIONAL WHO IDENTIFIED THE
FACT SHE HAD ABSCESS PORMING
HERE AND IT WAS DEALT WITH.
I ASSUME THE SOONER THE
BETTER.
AWLTSES, ALWAYS.
IF YOU LET THIS GO ON THEN WHAT
HAPPENS IS YOU END UP IN SUCH AS
THIS CASE WITH TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF ROOT RECESSION DUE TO
AGGRESSIVE TOOTHBRUSHING AND IF
YOU'RE NOT BRUSHING CORRECTLY
USING ABRASIVE TOOTHPASTE IT
COULD LEAD TO THAT PROBLEM.
