Diş macunlarında da tıpkı diş fırçalarında olduğu gibi birçok çeşit bulunur. Macunlar da kendi içerisinde farklı özelliklere sahiptir. Beyazlatıcı, çürük önleyşcş ya da diş eti koruyucu gibi farklı çeşitleri mevcuttur. Diş macunu seçiminde sorun yaşanan unsur dikkate alınarak tercih yapılmalıdır. Örneğin çürük problemi yaşanıyorsa fluorid gibi yüzeyel koruyucu etkisi fazla olan bir macun seçilmelidir. Ya da hassasiyet sorunu varsa hassasiyet giderici bir diş macunu kullanılmalıdır. Renklenme sorununda ise beyazlatıcı özelliği olan bir macun tercih edilmelidir.

There are many kinds of toothpastes. They all have different features. Some are whitening, cavity preventing, gum protecting etc. You should pick your toothpaste based on what you’re having a problem with. If you are having cavities you should pick a toothpaste with a surface protecting effect like fluorid. If you are having sensitivity issues, you should use a toothpaste that decreases sensitivity. If you have a problem with teeth color, you should pick one that has whitening effects.

Missing teeth can mess with the integrity of your oral tissue. Missing teeth causes that part of your mouth to not function fully. Teeth that are near the part with the missing teeth bend left and right over time. This breaks the integrity of the system. Missing teeth creates gaps between teeth. Food residue can pile up in these gaps and cause decay and gum problems. Missing teeth should be treated immediately as it’s a missing part of your body.

Anesthesia is required in the relevant region for tooth extraction. Inflammation makes it harder for anesthetics to spread in the tissue. This can cause a lack of complete anesthesia. In addition, after tooth extraction, veins are exposed to the mouth and they interact with saliva. In such cases, inflammation can interact with blood and spread to the whole body.

Another reason that may require the use of antibiotics before and after tooth extraction is the state of the patient and the medicine they already use. The most dangerous complication that can occur after a dental operation is infective endocarditis. Endocarditis is inflammation of the inner lining of your heart’s chambers and valves. It is life threatening. If treated in time, a first time endocarditis has a 100% chance of healing. But there is a risk of death if it’s not treated in time. Even in this age where antimicrobial treatments are advanced, occurence of this infection is serious.

With all this taken into account, it is better to postpone tooth extraction in the case of an inflammation. To prevent spread and to remove the risk of infective endocarditis a prescription is required. We can’t say that everyone with an inflammation will face these complications. However it’s important to detect the patients who have a higher chance of facing these complications and take precaution. High risk patients are patients with prosthetic heart valves and children with heart diseases. These patients need to use antibiotics before a bleeding dental procedure regardless of inflammation.

Wisdom teeth and symptoms and physical situations they create, change depending on the person. Therefore the requirement of extraction depends on the tooth’s position and the symptoms it causes.
