Tooth Extraction / Surgery

Post-Operative Care Instructions After Surgical removal of impacted or Embeded tooth 1. What to Expect After Surgery After surgical removal of an impacted tooth, it is common to experience pain, swelling, or facial bruising within the first 24–48 hours. Minor bleeding may also occur. If bleeding persists, bite down firmly on a gauze pad to help control it. Some patients may have difficulty opening their mouth or may experience temporary numbness in the lips or chin, depending on the depth and position of the impacted tooth. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Surgery Bite down on a gauze pad over the surgical site for about 1 hour. If bleeding continues, replace with a fresh pad. Avoid forceful rinsing or using straws during the first 24 hours. Suction pressure from a straw can dislodge the blood clot and lead to dry socket. Apply a cold compress to the cheek area during the first 24–48 hours to reduce swelling. Switch to a warm compress starting on day 3. Begin gentle saline rinses from day 2 onward, especially after meals and before bedtime. Eat soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, chewy, or hard foods for 3–5 days. Take all prescribed medications, especially antibiotics, exactly as instructed. Return to the clinic for follow-up and suture removal within 5–10 days if non-dissolvable stitches were used. 3. What to Avoid After Surgery Do not rinse your mouth forcefully or spit during the first 24 hours. Avoid using straws or engaging in any sucking action that may dislodge the blood clot. Refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol for at least 72 hours, as these can delay healing. Avoid hot, spicy, or hard foods that may irritate the site. Avoid using straws to drink fluids, as suction can disrupt the healing site. Do not touch the extraction area with your fingers or tongue. Avoid blowing your nose forcefully or sneezing with your mouth closed, especially if the extracted tooth was near the sinus area. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact Kitcha Dental Clinic immediately if you notice any of the following: Continuous bleeding for more than 2 hours that does not stop with pressure Severe pain that intensifies after 2–3 days (a potential sign of dry socket) Signs of infection such as fever, chills, swelling that worsens, or foul odor or taste Pus discharge from the site Difficulty breathing or swallowing Sensation of retained root fragments or loose bone near the wound 5.

Opalescence PF Tooth Whitening Gel (Home Bleaching)

Opalescence PF is  : a water-based tooth whitening gel with concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 35%. It contains hydrogen peroxide at 10%, 15%, 20%, and 35%, respectively. This formula is used for teeth whitening, with results varying based on individual needs. It helps maintain tooth moisture during the whitening process. The higher concentration of the gel not only reduces sensitivity but also decreases the likelihood of shade relapse in the future. This is because the patient’s teeth remain moisturized from the beginning to the end of the whitening process. Mechanism of Action: Hydrogen peroxide infiltrates the tooth structure, then breaks down into water and oxygen. These oxygen molecules bind to the color molecules that make teeth appear yellow or dark, causing them to break down. As a result, the teeth appear whiter. 1. Precautions before using the whitening gel: Patients should consult a dentist to assess their dental and gum health. The dentist will select the appropriate formula and provide guidance and close monitoring. 2. How to use the whitening gel: 3. Precautions: 4. Side effects: Some potential side effects of using the whitening gel may include 5. Storage instructions: Recommendations:

Dental Microscope

Dental Microscope At Kitcha Dental Clinic, we’re proud to offer the latest in dental technology to our patients. One of the most important tools we use for root canal treatment is a dental microscope. The microscope allows us to see the details of the tooth that we can’t see with the naked eye, making it an essential tool for providing the best possible care. If you’re not familiar with root canal treatment, it’s a procedure that’s used to save a tooth that’s become infected or inflamed. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, and then filling the space with a special material. It’s a complex procedure that requires precision and accuracy, and that’s where the dental microscope comes in. The dental microscope is a specialized tool that’s designed to provide a magnified view of the tooth during the root canal procedure. This allows us to see the tooth in much greater detail, including the small canals and structures inside the tooth that are critical to the success of the procedure. With the microscope, we can identify and treat even the smallest issues with greater accuracy and precision. One of the most important benefits of using a dental microscope for root canal treatment is that it allows us to preserve more of the natural tooth structure. With traditional methods, it’s often necessary to remove more of the tooth than is actually necessary, which can weaken the tooth and make it more prone to future problems. With the microscope, we can see exactly what needs to be removed, and we can remove only the infected or inflamed tissue, leaving more of the healthy tooth intact. Another benefit of using a dental microscope is that it allows us to detect issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. With the magnified view provided by the microscope, we can see things like cracks, fractures, and other structural issues that might not be visible with the naked eye. This allows us to address these issues before they become bigger problems, potentially saving the tooth and preventing the need for more invasive procedures later on. At Kitcha Dental Clinic, we’re committed to providing the best possible care to our patients. That’s why we use the latest in dental technology, including a dental microscope for root canal treatment. With its precision, accuracy, and ability to detect even the smallest issues, it’s just one of the many ways we’re working to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients. If you’re looking for a Dental Clinic in Chiang Mai, Thailand that uses the latest dental technology to provide high-quality care, look no further than Kitcha Dental Clinic. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and experience the difference for yourself.
