The role genetics plays in dental health

At Maeoris Dental, we believe in providing our patients with comprehensive insights into their dental health. While regular dental hygiene practices like brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are vital, there’s another crucial factor that significantly influences your dental health: Genetics. In this blog, let’s understand the role genetics plays in your dental health.

The genetic blueprint of your smile

Our genes play a pivotal role in determining various aspects of our health, including our dental health. Here’s how genetics can influence your teeth and gums:

  1. Tooth development and structure

  • Tooth size and alignment: The genetic blueprint you inherit determines the size, shape, and positioning of your teeth. If dental irregularities like misaligned or crowded teeth run in your family, you might find yourself facing similar challenges.
  • Enamel durability: The strength and durability of your tooth enamel are largely influenced by your genes. Some people naturally have more robust enamel, which offers better protection against cavities and decay.

  1. Tooth decay and cavities

  • Bacterial makeup: The specific types of bacteria present in your mouth can be determined by your genetic makeup. Certain bacteria are more likely to cause cavities and tooth decay, potentially increasing your risk even if you maintain excellent oral hygiene.

  1. Saliva production

  • Volume and composition: Both the amount and the quality of your saliva are influenced by your genetics. Saliva is essential for oral health, as it helps neutralise acids and clear away food debris. 

Identifying genetic risk factors

While genetics play a significant role in oral health, they do not guarantee the development of specific dental conditions. Environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and preventive measures are also crucial in shaping oral health. 

Understanding your genetic risk factors empowers you to take proactive steps to protect your dental well-being. Some ways to assess genetic risk factors include:

  • Family history review: Discussing your family’s dental health history with your dentist.
  • Genetic testing: Undergoing genetic testing to identify specific predispositions.
  • Personalised dental assessments: Scheduling comprehensive evaluations tailored to your genetic background.

Tips for individuals with genetic predispositions

If you have a genetic predisposition to certain dental conditions, taking proactive steps can help maintain your oral health. Here are three key tips:

  1. Adopt an oral hygiene routine: Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce bacteria and prevent cavities.
  2. Schedule regular dental check-ups: Visit your dentist every six months for cleanings. Regular check-ups catch issues early and allow for personalised care.
  3. Maintain a healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals. Limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks to prevent tooth decay and erosion.

The future of dental care: Embracing genetics

Advancements in genetic research hold promise for the future of dental care. Personalised treatment plans based on your genetic profile could become the norm, offering more effective and targeted dental care.

At Maeoris Dental, we stay abreast of the latest developments in dental research to provide you with cutting-edge care. By understanding the role genetics plays in your dental health, we can better help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for life.

Inside Maeoris Dental: Crafting specialities holistically (Part 2)

In our previous blog, we discussed six of our specialties, including the technologies we use and our partnerships. Today, we will be exploring the next six specialties to provide you with a comprehensive overview of our offerings. This way, you can select the most suitable treatment for yourself with the guidance of our smile experts at Maeoris Dental.

Pediatric dentistry: Nurturing little smiles

Pediatric dentistry at Maeoris Dental focuses on timely checkups, detecting decay, and educating children about oral hygiene. 

Our top-notch pediatric doctors and state-of-the-art facilities, including a Datex Ohemeda ZY9100 general anaesthesia workstation, cater to children under 5 who may be uncooperative or anxious. We aim to make your child’s dental experience comfortable, ensuring they won’t dread future visits.

Geriatric dentistry: Dental care for the ageing

Geriatric dentistry focuses on the identification, prevention, and treatment of dental issues related to ageing. Elderly individuals often face unique dental challenges due to chronic health conditions. 

We prioritise elderly patients’ safety by using advanced equipment like the Mindray-IMEC10 to monitor vital signs. Our facility is equipped with emergency resources, including a general anaesthesia workstation and central oxygen supply, and we have a 24/7 on-call physician and anaesthetist for any emergencies.

For differently abled: Nurturing smiles for all abilities

At Maeoris Dental, we believe every child is a source of beauty and joy, regardless of their abilities. Children with physical and mental challenges often struggle with daily routines, including dental hygiene, relying on support from caregivers. Our goal is to make dental visits stress-free, understanding the challenges these children and their parents face.

Laser dentistry: Beyond the drill

Laser dentistry offers unparalleled precision and comfort for hard and soft tissue treatments by emitting light that precisely shapes and removes tissue. It ensures a comfortable experience for issues like hypersensitivity, tooth decay, gum disease, root canals, gum corrections, growth removal, and tooth whitening.

Our top-of-the-line equipment, including the Whaledent Perfect TCS and Sirona Laser Advanced Version, enables our skilled dentists to provide successful and comfortable treatments.

Maxillofacial surgery: Precision in restoration

Maxillofacial surgery addresses complex dental and facial issues with precision and care. Dr. Senthilkumar, our seasoned maxillofacial surgeon, leads our expert team, ensuring seamless and painless surgeries with his extensive experience.

Our in-house CBCT equipment, including the Galileos Comfort Plus from Dentsply Sirona, and Sidexis Software streamline diagnostics, while the Mindray-IMEC10 meticulously records vitals for comprehensive care.

Panfacial trauma: Enhancing beauty, restoring function

Panfacial trauma involves complex injuries or fractures across multiple facial regions, including the upper, middle, and lower areas. These potentially life-threatening injuries require prompt, comprehensive care from a team of specialists such as maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists, and neurosurgeons. 

Types of panfacial trauma include fractures of the orbital bones, nasal bones, zygomatic arches, and mandible. At Maeoris, our expert team is dedicated to providing the best possible care for such critical conditions.

With this, we conclude our overview of the final six specialties at Maeoris Dental. We hope this blog has given you a clear understanding of our comprehensive offerings and our commitment to advanced technology and valuable partnerships.We look forward to welcoming you to Maeoris Dental. Visit us to experience unparalleled comfort and care from our smile experts.

Inside Maeoris Dental: Crafting specialities holistically (Part 1)

In this blog, we aim to educate our readers about the various specialties we offer at Maeoris Dental. We’ll proudly showcase the advanced technology we use to ensure seamless dental procedures. Additionally, we’ll highlight our longstanding partnerships with top brands. This blog is your one-stop resource for discovering the wonders of Maeoris Dental and the cutting-edge tech behind our services.

Dental implants: Advanced solutions for natural-looking restorations

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. They provide a strong and stable foundation, enabling these restorations to function and look like natural teeth.

At Maeoris Dental, we offer same-day implants to ensure you receive the dental relief you need without unnecessary delays. Our proud partnership with Nobel Biocare enables us to utilise their X-Guide systems for precise, navigation-guided implant placement. Additionally, we use the advanced DTX Studio Implant Software for meticulous implant planning in all our cases, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

Orthodontics: Bringing art and science together

Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on correcting the positioning of teeth and jaws. By realigning crooked teeth and ensuring they fit together correctly, orthodontic treatment evenly distributes biting pressure, promoting the overall health of teeth, gums, and jaw joints.

We pride ourselves on using state-of-the-art imported equipment to ensure flawless results at every stage of treatment. Our high-resolution 3D imaging technology allows for comprehensive facial assessments, providing deep insights into internal structures. Advanced tools such as Sicat Function, JMT, and Air enable precise strategizing, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Endodontics: Expert care for inner tooth health

Endodontics is a specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and injuries of the dental pulp—the delicate inner layer of the tooth. Damage to the dental pulp can lead to sensitivity and pain, often due to cracks or decay that allow bacteria to invade and cause infection and swelling.

Just like dental implants, we offer root canal treatments that can also be completed in a single visit using advanced technology. Some of the tools we use include the X Smart IQ for precise shaping, Sirolase Laser and Endo Activator for thorough cleaning, and Gutta Smart Obturation for effective filling.

Cosmetic dentistry: Crafting your perfect smile

Cosmetic dentistry, or aesthetic dentistry, focuses on enhancing the visual aspects of teeth, gums, and overall bite to create beautiful smiles. Procedures include the application of resin, crowns, laminates, veneers, teeth whitening, gum depigmentation, and orthodontic alignment, all contributing to an improved facial appearance.

To deliver the best version of your smile, we utilise advanced technology such as the BT Cool Bleaching System with the latest LED blue light technology for teeth whitening. 

We source our filling materials from Ivoclar Vivadent and use Dentsply Sirona’s advanced wireless LED technology for optimal results.

Prosthodontics: Rebuilding smiles with precision

Prosthodontics is a specialised dental field focused on restoring intraoral deficiencies, including missing teeth, jawbone issues, and facial irregularities. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, prosthodontics offers comprehensive solutions for dental restoration with a strong emphasis on aesthetics.

Our advanced laboratory features cutting-edge equipment such as the Amman Girrbach and Cerec Chairside Milling Unit, along with the high-end S11 Ivoclar Furnace. We also use precision equipment from Renfert, a renowned German supplier, ensuring a comfortable and efficient treatment experience for our patients.

Biomimetic dentistry: Preserving nature’s design

Biomimetic dentistry focuses on preserving natural teeth and addressing issues early with biocompatible materials and techniques, making it less invasive.

Practitioners use minimally invasive procedures to maintain your teeth, employing tooth-coloured resin fillings from Ivoclar Vivadent, cured with Dentsply Sirona’s advanced wireless LED technology. With 3Shape Smile Design software, we craft perfect smiles in minutes using a 2D facial photo and intelligent tooth silhouette.

Ensuring a smooth wisdom tooth removal for your child

Wisdom tooth removal is a crucial consideration for parents as their children grow. At Maeoris Dental, which is one of the top-rated dental hospitals in Madurai and Dindigul, we often address parents’ concerns about the best time for this procedure and the necessary post-removal care. We hope this blog helps you navigate this important aspect of your child’s dental health.

When is the Right Time for Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, usually appear between ages 17 and 25, but issues can arise earlier. It’s essential to monitor your child’s dental development. Key indicators for consulting a dentist include:

Pain and discomfort: Persistent pain in the back of the mouth may indicate impacted wisdom teeth.

Crowding: Emerging wisdom teeth can misalign other teeth, disrupting the dental structure.

Infection or gum disease: Partially erupted teeth can harbor bacteria, leading to infections.

Cysts or tumors: Though rare, wisdom teeth can cause cysts or tumors, potentially damaging the jawbone and surrounding teeth.

The removal process

We know that any dental treatment can seem daunting for kids, especially wisdom tooth removal. To help make things easier and prepare you for what to expect during the procedure, we have listed the process for you:

Consultation: Schedule an appointment or a routine check-up to evaluate the situation.

Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure the procedure is pain-free.

Extraction: The dentist carefully removes the tooth, ensuring minimal discomfort and swift recovery.

Post-removal care

Proper post-removal care is crucial, and as a parent, you should know how to take care of your child once they’ve had their wisdom tooth removed. This helps them feel better too. Here are some key tips:

Rest: Ensure your child rests adequately for the first 24 hours post-surgery.

Ice packs: Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Soft foods: Encourage a diet of soft foods and avoid anything hard or crunchy for a few days.

Oral hygiene: Maintain oral hygiene gently, avoiding the extraction site initially. Gradually reintroduce regular brushing and flossing.

Follow-up appointments: Book dental appointments for follow-up checks to ensure proper healing.
