Do you repeatedly experience pain at the back of your mouth , which gets worse when you try to chew or even stops you from opening your mouth very well ? Have you checked and found no holes on your teeth and you’re wondering what’s wrong ?
Well, you could be having Pericoronitis

In the subsequent messages we shall attempt to educate us on Pericoronitis , its causes , prevention and treatment options

Pericoronitis is an infection of the gum flap ( operculum ) which overlies a partially erupted tooth . It is usually seen affecting the lower last tooth in the mouth .

Pericoronitis is usually seen in teenagers and young adults especially those who are just growing their wisdom tooth or have the tooth grown in an abnormal position ( impacted ) .

The gum flap covering the tooth allows for food debris to pack between the tooth and the gum thereby causing irritation to the gum . The gum then gets inflamed and swollen causing severe pain which is worsened by the opposing tooth pressing on it .

Pericoronitis can lead to severe facial space infections if not prevented or treatment appropriately

Treatment protocol involves cleaning of the space beneath the gum with a warm salt water solution or an antibacterial mouth rinse . An instrument may need to be placed within the space to physically pull out all food remnants .

Often times the condition recurs and may need more definitive treatment protocols. The Gum flap may be surgically cut away by a Dental surgeon or the impacted tooth may be surgically extracted and the tissue apposed with sutures for healing

Strong analgesics and antibiotics are also prescribed to combat the infective process and serve as pain management . Individuals are advised to brush their teeth last thing at night to reduce the occurrence of food packing within that space

In case you’re having similar problems you can feel free to call us/whatsap 0785399590 and book an appointment for effective affordable management

Everyone desires a clean bright smile but unfortunately some people can’t achieve that even with daily brushing . Sometimes it’s no fault of theirs , however they carry the burden of having stains on their teeth .

Tooth discoloration is an unpleasant coloration of the tooth which could be caused by multiple local or systemic conditions . Generally, it can be caused by extrinsic ( external ) factors or intrinsic ( internal ) factors .

Examples of extrinsic causes of tooth stains include; dental plaque & calculus, Foods & beverages ,To***co, certain Bacteria, some mouth rinses and even oral medications .

Intrinsic stains can be caused by Trauma or injuries to the teeth, dental restorations, Infections, Dental caries, nutritional deficiency, genetic defects, hereditary diseases, complications of pregnancy, medication etc

Irrespective of the cause of the tooth discoloration, a poor oral hygiene always makes it worse .

As a general rule, the teeth gets yellower as individuals age . This is due to the wearing off of the outer enamel surface to reveal the slightly yellower inner dentine . So depending on your age , we expect your teeth to gets yellower

However, certain habits & foods can cause the enamel to erode faster e.g use of hard toothbrushes, frequent consumption of highly acidic substances , frequent use of charcoal / eggshell as a cleansing agent for the teeth etc

The effects of tooth discoloration cannot be overemphasized, from low self esteem to shyness etc. An increasing number of individuals seek dental care to combat one form of stain or the other to achieve a brighter smile

Usually the first step in treatment of any dental discoloration is an appropriate diagnosis of the problem and a good understanding of the predisposing factors .

Here are a few treatment options available ;
- regulation of diet & habits
- effective toothbrushing techniques and practice
- regular scaling and polishing
- enamel microabrasion
- Bleaching ( tooth whitening )
- veneers & crowns
- extractions and implants

If you have any form of tooth discoloration it is advisable that you visit your Dentist first. In a bid to self cure at home you might make the situation worse .
