As dental professionals, we're on a constant quest for innovation. From AI-powered diagnostics to 3D-printed implants, we embrace technology that improves patient outcomes and streamlines our practice. But what if I told you one of the most significant breakthroughs isn't a new scanner or material, but a new way of sharing and trusting data?
It’s a scene familiar to many parents: a wiggly baby tooth, a thread, and a triumphant visit from the Tooth Fairy. Because these tiny teeth are temporary, a common misconception has taken root: that decay in them doesn’t matter. After all, they’ll just fall out, right?
Healing after a tooth extraction follows a natural timeline. Within the first 24 hours, a blood clot forms in the socket—this is essential for proper healing. By days 2–3, mild swelling and discomfort are normal as the gums begin repairing. Around days 4–7, soft tissue starts closing over the socket, and pain should significantly reduce. After 1–2 weeks, the gum tissue continues to heal, while deeper bone healing can take several weeks to months. Following proper care ensures smooth recovery and prevents complications.
When it comes to dental procedures, many patients fear one thing the most — pain during treatment. But at CebuDent Oral Care, we ensure every procedure is not just effective, but also comfortable and safe for every patient.
In the Philippines, a bright smile is a currency of friendliness and warmth. Yet, behind many of those smiles lies a silent, growing crisis festering in the spaces between teeth—a crisis directly tied to one simple, often overlooked habit: flossing.
Bone grafting is a common and highly successful procedure used to rebuild jawbone for dental implants. However, in some cases, bone grafts may fail due to infection, poor healing, or underlying health issues. If this happens, don’t panic—there are proven solutions to fix and recover from bone graft failure.
This guide explains the causes, signs, treatment options, and how to successfully redo a bone graft for long-term implant success.
Bone Quality & Quantity – Using 3D imaging (CBCT scans) to assess bone density and predict resorption risks.
Occlusion & Bite Force Analysis – Evaluating if excessive force could lead to implant failure.
Gum Health & Periodontal Risks – Identifying patients prone to peri-implantitis.
Food state great! But sometimes this food can cause swelling on my gums. Spicy and acidic foods can aggravate swollen gums for several reasons:
Irritation: Spizy foods contain compounds like capsaicin that can irritate sensitive tissues. This irritation can worsen inflammation and discomfort in swollen gumes.
Acidity: Acidic foods (like citrus fruits or vinegar) can lower the pH in your mouth, leading to further irritation of already inflamed gum tissue. This can exacerbate swelling and discomfort.
