How should be treated after suffering from dental fluorosis?
There are always some people in our life who don’t drink coffee or smoke, but have big yellow teeth, which is difficult for many people to understand.
In fact, it is most likely because these people suffer from a dental disease called dental fluorosis.
So, what is dental fluorosis?
How do you treat it?
Below we will give you a solution, to understand it together.
What is dental fluorosis?
Dental fluorosis alias also called spot glaze.
It is due to the high content of fluoride in daily drinking water, and caused by the related dental diseases.
Fluoride has a double effect on teeth, and you get too much of it.
It will produce dental fluorosis, too low will cause dental caries.
Therefore, only when the fluoride content in drinking water is appropriate, it has the effect of preventing dental caries and will not produce dental fluorosis. Through scientific research, when the fluoride content in drinking water is 1ppm, the most appropriate.
Dental fluorosis mainly affects the physical health, the appearance of teeth, and causes serious psychological burden and harm to patients.
So how to treat after suffering from dental fluorosis?
The treatment of dental fluorosis can be divided into traditional therapy and modern minimally invasive aesthetic therapy.
The specific situation should be treated according to the degree of dental fluorosis.
Traditional treatments can be divided into two categories: bleaching and repair, each of which has advantages and disadvantages.
If it is a single bleaching relatively easy to relapse, and the color is not uniform;
Restorative method It uses photosensitive curing to wear off the yellow tooth tissue, but the color is not satisfactory.
Modern minimally invasive aesthetic method will save tooth tissue as much as possible to effectively remove the color of dental fluorosis surface, and will also improve the wetness of tooth enamel surface, combined with drug whitening, not only can make dental fluorosis discolored area, but also to the non-discolored area to whiten the effect, is a good method.
Treatment should be based on the color of fluorosis and the degree of damage to the teeth to choose the appropriate method: first, if it is a simple white plaque.
And this white patch is the opaque white.
It’s like chalk dust.
It has little effect on appearance and generally does not require treatment.
Second, the lighter yellow patches.
This situation is on the basis of a kind of opaque yellow patches, which can be bleached or slightly polished to remove the yellow part, so as to achieve the purpose of whitening teeth.
3. Dark yellow patches.
In this case, bleaching is usually first followed by sanding, but there will be obvious marks after sanding.
Therefore, it is also necessary to cooperate with porcelain veneer or resin filling.
Four, serious dental fluorosis due to a large number of enamel defects, or the formation of a lot of dental caries, this time is even the veneer can not stick, this situation can only consider to do all-porcelain crown, then the teeth will be worn off more, but the scope of repair is relatively large.
