Biological Dentistry, Science Fiction no more…😲

You might never need a dental implant again.
The drug that tells your body to grow a third set of teeth has officially passed its first human safety test with zero side effects. It works by blocking the protein that stops your "backup" teeth from forming.
Not anymore. We are officially entering the age of biological dentistry.

POST OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TOOTH EXTRACTION/ORAL SURGERY

After your extraction, it’s important for a blood clot to form, to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. Bite on a gauze pad (place over each surgical site) changing it for 30-60 minutes until the bleeding stops completely. Light oozing is normal throughout the day of surgery. When the surgical site(s) are not visually/actively bleeding, remove the gauze and discontinue its use. You may eat and drink between gauze changes. Over use of gauze or talking with gauze in place can promote bleeding. If you run out of gauze, you can place a tea bag over the surgical site(s) and gently bite. The tannic acid constricts the vessels and can slow or stop bleeding.

If you are experiencing heavy bleeding at any time after your surgery (consistent with a nosebleed) call our office as soon as possible. If after 48 hours you have any numbness of the lip, teeth or chin (this is usually temporary) please call our office.

Apply ice packs to the outside of your face for a minimum of 24 hours after your surgery. Pain can peak after 48-72 hours. If after 72 hours you are still experiencing muscle soreness apply heat (towel soaked in hot water, warmed gel pack or heating pad wrapped in a towel). Practice opening and closing. It is important to keep your jaw muscles moving. Continue heat as long as you have swelling and/or muscle soreness. It is not uncommon to develop bruising on the face after oral surgery.

Do not vigorously rinse or spit for 24 hours. Brushing is important for the healing process. Brush gently around the surgical sites as bleeding and tenderness is common the night of your surgery. After 24 hours, please gently swish with warm salt water, do this after meals and before bedtime. You may resume normal oral hygiene (brushing & flossing) 24 hours after surgery.

Do not drink through a straw or smoke for 1 week. These actions are the main cause(s) of dry socket. A dry socket is formed when the blood clot is dislodged prematurely from the socket causing pain to your neck, head and/or ear(s). This will usually occur 3-5 days after your surgery. If you experience these symptoms, you will need to schedule an appointment with our office.

A soft diet is recommended for at least one week (anything that you can cut with a fork). The day of the surgery foods such as yogurt, pudding, smoothies, shakes (not using a straw), ice cream and mashed potatoes are recommended. You may resume a normal diet when it’s comfortable for you.

Take all medications as prescribed, if you have any side effects from taking any medications, discontinue use and call our office immediately. Please refer to the Medications List you received from our office to review instructions.

Please avoid any physical activity (such as school sports) including lifting and bending for at least 3-5 days. Ease back into exercise when ready. Throbbing at the surgical site is normal and will subside, but take it slow

The future of dental care truly looks promising!

In a major breakthrough for dental science, researchers at the University of Nottingham have created a biomimetic gel that can regrow natural tooth enamel — the hardest tissue in the human body. This innovative gel mimics the biological process by which teeth originally form, using engineered versions of amelogenin, a key protein found in saliva responsible for enamel growth during early tooth development.

When applied to damaged teeth, the gel combines with calcium and phosphate ions to rebuild enamel crystals in perfect alignment with existing tooth structure. Within a week, it can restore enamel layers up to 10 micrometres thick, repairing cracks, reversing early decay, and even reducing sensitivity. Unlike fluoride, which only strengthens existing enamel, this method actively regenerates new tissue, creating a seamless, natural restoration.

With over 3.7 billion people worldwide affected by cavities, this discovery could transform dental care — replacing fillings and drilling with a simple, pain-free gel. Human trials are expected to begin soon, marking a potential new era where cavities could become a thing of the past.

“Gravity”

Just like what John Mayer’s song says… gravity pulls your tooth downward, causing it to gradually extrude out of its place when there’s no adjacent or opposing tooth.

We recommend replacing a lost tooth with a crown or any suitable dental prosthesis to prevent dental extrusion. 🦷

Tandaan! B F R B B! Brush, Floss, and Rinse Before Bedtime👆👆👆

Skipping your nightly brushing routine could be far more dangerous than you think. A groundbreaking study of over 1,500 hospitalised adults has revealed that not brushing your teeth before bed significantly increases your risk of heart disease and even early death.

Researchers found that brushing only in the morning offered far less protection. In fact, those who brushed at night had nearly a 45 percent lower risk of cardiovascular events compared to non-brushers. The group who brushed only at night had the best overall health outcomes, with survival hazard ratios between 0.55 and 0.59.

Why does it matter so much? When you sleep without brushing, oral bacteria thrive and enter the bloodstream, setting off systemic inflammation. This chronic inflammation silently damages blood vessels and increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other fatal events.

Smoking made things even worse, especially when paired with skipping brushing at night.

Experts say your bedtime brush isn't just about avoiding plaque and fresh breath. It's a powerful, preventative act of self-care that could literally extend your life.

So the next time you're tempted to crash without brushing, remember this: your toothbrush might just be your heart's best defence.
