Fixed Dental Prosthesis (Crown and Bridge)

Dental Crowns and Bridges Care Instructions​ 1. What to Expect After Dental Treatment You may experience mild tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure for the first 2–3 days The crowned or bridged tooth may feel slightly “high” or different when biting; this usually improves as your bite adjusts Temporary gum irritation around the crown margins is normal If a temporary crown or bridge was placed, be cautious while eating or flossing, as these may become dislodged Important: Crowns do not make your teeth immune to decay. Tooth decay can still occur along the margins between the crown and the natural tooth, especially if oral hygiene is neglected. In some cases, root canal treatment may become necessary after crown placement, particularly if symptoms develop or the pulp becomes inflamed. Treatment may involve drilling through the crown or removing it entirely to access the underlying tooth.   2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Treatment Avoid hard, sticky, or extremely hot foods during the first 48–72 hours Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and use floss or interdental brushes regularly Pay special attention to cleaning around the crown margins and under bridge pontics, where plaque commonly accumulates Attend regular dental check-ups every 3–6 months to detect early signs of decay or damage beneath the crown or bridge If you grind your teeth at night, ask your dentist about a nightguard to protect your restorations Follow all oral hygiene instructions as provided by your dentist Even after crown placement, proper oral hygiene is crucial. Without it, decay may occur under the crown and lead to root infection, which can require re-treatment or crown replacement 3. What to Avoid After Treatment Do not chew on hard items like ice, hard candy, or nutshells with crowned teeth Avoid chewing sticky foods such as caramel or chewing gum, especially on temporary crowns Refrain from using your teeth to open packaging or bite hard objects Avoid highly acidic foods or beverages that can wear down restoration materials Do not neglect daily cleaning, especially around the crown edges and under bridges 4. When to Contact the Clinic The crown or bridge feels loose, cracked, too high, or has fallen out You experience sharp localized sensitivity, especially to sweets or cold You develop deep, lingering toothache or discomfort—this may indicate underlying pulp inflammation There is noticeable bad breath or an odd taste from a specific area You see redness, swelling, or bleeding in the gums around the crowned teeth These symptoms may signal decay beneath the crown, bite misalignment, or the need for root canal treatment through the crown. 5.

Invisalign Clear Aligner

Patient Instruction Invisalign 1. General Information Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses 3D computer technology to create personalized orthodontic devices. The process begins with the dentist taking an impression of the patient’s mouth. This impression is then scanned into a digital model of the teeth. A computer program determines the step-by-step movement of the teeth according to the treatment plan outlined by the dentist. Each stage of tooth movement is used as a template to manufacture the individual Invisalign aligners. 2. Alternatives treatment 3.  Risk and side effect of treatment 4.

Tooth Extraction

Post-Tooth Extraction Care Instructions​ 1. What to Expect After Dental Treatment Following a tooth extraction, it is normal to experience mild to moderate discomfort, swelling around the site, and minor bleeding. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. Slight jaw stiffness, difficulty opening the mouth fully, or a temporary change in bite sensation may also occur. Bruising may appear on the cheek or jawline, especially after surgical extractions. These are natural healing responses and generally resolve on their own. It is also common to have some blood oozing from the extraction site for up to 24–48 hours. During this time, if bleeding occurs, place clean gauze over the area and bite down firmly to apply pressure to the wound edge and help control the bleeding. This simple technique helps ensure that the healing process continues properly and minimizes the risk of dry socket. 2. How to Take Care of Yourself After Treatment Bite down gently but firmly on the gauze pad placed by your dentist for 1 to 2 hours to control bleeding. Apply a cold compress on the outside of the cheek for 15–20 minutes at a time, during the first 24 hours. Take all medications as prescribed, including pain relievers and antibiotics. Rest and avoid strenuous activity for the first 48–72 hours. Sleep with your head elevated for the first night. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and rinsing carefully, avoiding the extraction site for the first day. After 24 hours, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water several times a day to promote healing. Eat soft, cool or lukewarm foods such as soup, mashed potatoes, or yogurt. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. Following these post-operative care tips can significantly reduce discomfort and help ensure a smooth recovery. Patients visiting dental clinics in Chiang Mai—such as Kitcha Dental Clinic—can expect professional guidance and attentive aftercare instructions tailored to their needs. 3. What to Avoid After Treatment 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. 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. These precautions are essential to prevent complications. If you’re undergoing tooth removal at a dental clinic in Chiang Mai, always follow your dentist’s instructions to avoid post-treatment issues. 4. When to Contact the Clinic Please contact the clinic promptly if you experience: Continuous bleeding for more than two 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 Timely communication with your dental provider is key to a safe recovery.

Post-Operative Care Instructions After Metal Braces Orthodontic Treatment 1. What to Expect After Treatment As you begin your journey with metal braces, it’s normal to experience: Soreness or pressure in your teeth and jaws for 2–5 days after the braces are first applied Mild irritation on your lips, cheeks, or tongue due to contact with brackets or wires Difficulty chewing or discomfort while eating certain foods during the initial days These symptoms are temporary and usually resolve as your mouth adjusts. Orthodontic wax and pain relief medication can help ease this transition.

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.
