One of the reasons for the importance of oral hygiene is that bacteria in your mouth do not just stay in your mouth. They affect your body by traveling through the bloodstream. Do not forget your dental cleanings prophylaxis , which I jokingly name as “oil change to save your motor”. Your general health depends on your teeth and your mouth.

I wouldn’t recommend it to our pediatric patients. But it looks like we got some competition.

I would like to discuss the significance of digital technologies and AI's impact on modern dentistry.
Three-dimensional diagnostics utilizing CT scan imaging enhance diagnostic accuracy, particularly in cases where sinus image overlapping may obscure potential infections on upper teeth, which are not readily visible on traditional two-dimensional X-rays, or when assessing the position of the mandibular nerve on the lower arch. CBCT scans are essential in modern diagnostics, especially in more challenging cases.

AI is increasingly integrated into the dental field with new scanners that can scan not only teeth but also soft tissue, improving accuracy and replacing traditional impressions and molds.
With the click of a button, digital impressions can be sent to an out-of-office laboratory or to an in-office milling machine, which can create same-day crowns by milling them from porcelain or zirconia blocks.

AI assists in designing these crowns individually, matching them to the shape of the patient's teeth.

Our office is enjoying the implementation of these new technologies into our daily routine. For an appointment, please call us at 228-207-0046. Red Sails Dental.

Let’s talk about periodontal disease, gum disease, periodontitis and it’s effects on general health.
Factors contributing to periodontal disease include poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, and certain systemic conditions. The disease manifests through symptoms such as swollen gums, bleeding during brushing, calculus build up on teeth, and tooth mobility, potentially leading to tooth loss if left untreated.
By producing chronic inflammation, bacterial translocation trough bloodstream and triggering immmune response untreated periodontitis can lead to elevated cholesterol and contribute to or even develope heart disease and atherosclerosis.
Other health related conditions with gum disease are diabetes, lung disease, pregnancy risks. While diabetes can exacerbate gum disease, chronic inflammation from periodontal disease can hinder glycemic control. Respiratory diseases can be triggered by aspirations of bacterias from inflamed gums and calculus. Pregnancy adverse outcomes can be associated with periodintal disease such as preterm birth and low birth weight, possibly due to systemic inflammation affecting maternal health.

Given the links between periodontal health and systemic diseases, an integrated approach to healthcare is essential.

Routine dental visits can aid in early detection and management of periodontal disease, potentially preventing systemic complications.
