Tooth Extraction / Surgery

Patient Instruction Tooth Extraction / Surgery 1. General Information    Wisdom tooth Surgery  is a procedure to treat impacted wisdom teeth that are either still beneath the gums or have partially erupted but not fully. This process is more complex, time-consuming, and generally more expensive. Typically, stitches are required to close the wound, and patients must return for suture removal as scheduled by the dentist. Wisdom tooth removal is for fully erupted wisdom teeth. This procedure is quicker, less costly, and does not require stitches to close the wound. When Should You Consider Wisdom Tooth Surgery?             Most people have four wisdom teeth, with two on the upper jaw and two on the lower jaw, typically emerging between the ages of 17 and 25. However, some individuals may have no wisdom teeth at all, or more than four, depending on various factors such as jaw size, dental abnormalities, or genetics.

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.

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.
