Gingivoplasty
- Gum Trimming
The gum line
of front teeth may not always grow in at the right place on the
teeth. Sometimes the erratic eruption of teeth can cause the gum
line to end up covering the top third of the teeth resulting in
a gummy smile and small teeth. This corrective procedure is the
simplest and most dramatic cosmetic procedure in the armamentarium
of the cosmetic dentist. The teeth and the gums are anesthetized,
the excess gum tissue is trimmed exposing the full length of the
teeth and reducing the gummy smile. Healing is rapid and there
is little or no bleeding.
Halitosis
Treatment
While we all
experience bad breath from time to time, for chronic bad breath
the problem may be easily resolved by using good oral hygiene.
Dr. Sharifi will help you through a thorough
evaluation and treatment plan.
Often, halitosis
can be remedied through proper brushing, flossing, keeping your
mouth moist and chewing sugarless gum. Also, a tongue scraper
used on a regular basis will also reduce bacteria at the back
of your mouth. Avoiding foods containing sulfur (onions, garlic,
and cabbage) will help as well - these foods produce sulfurous
gases as you digest them.
Periodontal disease contributes to bad breath as well as the need
for restorative dentistry. Cavities, broken fillings and failing
dental work all trap plaque contributing to bad breath. Dr. Rex Hoang has an on staff periodntist (gum
specialist) for more severe periodontal problems. Did you know
that gum disease is a major risk factor for heart disease-including
heart attacks? Regular hygiene visits are also very important.
Until we can find and fix the cause of your halitosis we have
the only mouthwashes that will prevent bad breath for 6 hours
no matter what the cause. Guaranteed. Store bought mouthwashes
are high in alcohol. They are a temporary fix than they dry your
mouth out more contributing to worsen bad breath. Call for a consultation
for your bad breath .Our mouth rinses are chemically prepared
to bond with the sulfur compounds which cause bad breath eliminating
the problem for up to 6 hours.
