Cervical abrasions or non carious lesions

Have you felt a sharp shooting sensation around your teeth recently? Have you felt a dip or a crater like defect around the neck of your teeth where the sensitivity arises from?
Chances are that it may be a non carious lesion called Cervical Abrasion.

Cervical abrasions or Non carious tooth lesions are the result of Vigorous improper tooth brushing with a very hard tooth brush or abrasive dentifrices.

Such lesions typically occur at the neck of the teeth and appear to cause gingival/gum recession. The receding gums expose the root surface further and lead to development of sensitivity .
(Initially the sensitivity is mild )

This progresses to expose the pulp and may require root canal treatment. In many cases if the lesion is spotted early a simple filling can solve the problem. At times a minor gum corrective procedures ( Plastic periodontal surgery ) can completely cover the defect and provide aesthetic results.

If allowed to progress unchecked the lesion can become un restorable or irreparable.

In our following posts we will share with you the different methods by which such a lesion can be treated.

Until then brush well.
Eat healthy
Keep smiling.


Front Tooth fracture in children

Did your child fracture his front tooth due to a fall? It's not uncommon for children to lose or fracture their front teeth. If it happens emergency dental care will be needed to restore normalcy. At times a simple dental filling will do. 

Here's a useful tip. Do not discard the tooth or the fracture part. Preserve it in either saline solution or clean water. Bring it over to the clinic immediately and we may just be able to use the tooth or the fracture part.

Children pursuing sports ar prone to such accidents. We recommend a mouth guard to protect their teeth. Customised mouth guards can be fabricated to suit the needs. This prevents minor accidents from leading to major dental ememrgencies. 

Very often teeth can be irreparable. This could lead to a functional and aesthetic compromise very early in children. Don't let fear come in between your child and his goals.

Make an appointment today to find out more about mouth guards and how to correct fractured teeth in children.
