Bleeding gums during brushing are often a sign of gum inflammation. Its development can be influenced by improper brushing technique, as well as plaque and tartar accumulating on the teeth and along the gum line.
Many people avoid or completely stop cleaning the affected areas because of the bleeding, but this can further worsen the inflammation. In such cases, it is advisable to visit our practice for an oral hygiene assessment and tartar removal, where you can also receive guidance on proper oral care at home.

After a dental filling, it is generally not necessary to avoid eating for an extended period. Modern filling materials are hardened with a special light during the treatment, so they are fully set by the end of the procedure.
If you have also received local anesthesia, it is advisable to wait until sensation has fully returned before eating. Due to the numbness of the lips or tongue, you may easily bite the soft tissues accidentally while eating.
Not in every case. Tooth pain can have several different causes, so an accurate examination is always necessary before removing the tooth. There are also many cases where the tooth can still be preserved with appropriate treatment.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, root canal treatment may be an option, followed by restoration with a filling, build-up, or dental prosthesis. In every case, our goal is to preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
The goal of root canal treatment is to preserve the affected tooth and avoid tooth extraction.
It is most commonly required when the tissue inside the tooth becomes inflamed or dies.
During the treatment, the damaged tissue is removed from inside the tooth, after which the root canals are cleaned and disinfected. The tooth is then properly sealed and restored. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making the treatment pain-free for the patient.
After a dental filling, the treated tooth may remain sensitive to cold or hot stimuli for a few days. This is particularly common after treating deeper cavities, and in most cases, the sensitivity gradually disappears.
It is different if the tooth remains sensitive or painful when biting down. If this does not improve within a few days, it is advisable to return for a follow-up examination. The filling may be too high and require an adjustment, which can be easily corrected.
The choice of the appropriate restoration primarily depends on the extent of the tooth damage. In the case of a smaller cavity or injury, an aesthetic composite filling made directly on the tooth in the dental practice is often sufficient.
For larger defects, as well as significantly damaged teeth or teeth with large fillings, an inlay, onlay, or overlay may provide a more durable solution. These are individually made in a dental laboratory and then placed into or onto the tooth surface with a precise fit. The appropriate solution is determined in each case based on the condition of the tooth and the size of the defect.
In the case of an old, damaged amalgam filling, it is advisable to have the affected tooth examined by a dentist as soon as possible. If replacement of the filling is necessary, after removing the amalgam, a new aesthetic filling or another type of dental inlay may be made, depending on the condition of the tooth.
The appropriate solution is selected in each case based on the current condition of the tooth, the extent of the defect, and the amount of remaining tooth structure.
One of the greatest advantages of aesthetic composite fillings is that they can be matched to the natural color of the tooth. By selecting the appropriate shade and carefully shaping the filling, it blends harmoniously with the tooth.
As a result, the restored area is generally not noticeable when smiling and preserves the natural appearance of the tooth.
The implant is placed under local anesthesia, so you should not expect to feel pain during the procedure itself. Once the anesthesia wears off, mild pain, a feeling of tension, or swelling may occur for a few days, which usually gradually subsides.
The detailed information provided for the post-operative period and following the prescribed aftercare instructions can greatly contribute to a smooth recovery.
A dental implant is one of the modern and durable options for replacing missing teeth.
With proper oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and careful care of the area around the implant, it can provide a lifelong solution.
For long-term success, it is important not only that the implant and the dental restoration placed on it are properly designed, but also that regular check-ups and thorough oral care at home are maintained.
Implants can be used in many cases to replace missing teeth, whether it is a single missing tooth, several adjacent missing teeth, or even the restoration of a completely edentulous jaw. An implant-supported dental restoration provides stability and, when properly designed, enables chewing function similar to that of natural teeth.
It can be particularly beneficial for those who prefer a fixed, stable, and long-term dental restoration instead of removable solutions. The possibility of implant treatment is determined in each case based on an individual examination and treatment plan.
Sleeping with removable dentures is generally not recommended. It is advisable to remove them at night to allow the mucous membrane underneath the dentures to rest and recover.
During this time, the dentures can be thoroughly cleaned, which is also important for maintaining proper hygiene and preventing unpleasant irritation.
Modern removable dentures can be comfortable to wear when properly designed and are made to fit the individual characteristics of the mouth. The adjustment period may vary from person to person, so during the first few days, the patient may feel that the dentures are unfamiliar or experience minor discomfort.
In most cases, the mouth adapts to the dentures within a short period of time, and wearing them becomes natural.
A CBCT scan is a quick and simple imaging examination during which the device rotates around the patient's head and takes a detailed, three-dimensional image of the area being examined. The scan takes only a few seconds, and the examination is painless. The patient must remain still during the scan.
A cephalometric X-ray is a quick and painless examination. The patient must assume the correct position in the device and remain still while the necessary X-ray image is taken. The examination only takes a short time, after which the dentist or orthodontist can perform the necessary analyses based on the image.
