Left untreated, a serious tooth infection can eventually kill!

Hundreds of thousands of emergency room visits each year are the result of dental problems, according to studies. The infection of the tip of the tooth’s root, called a periapical abscess, leads to the hospitalization of several people each year. It is the result of untreated tooth decay, and it can be dangerous if it spreads.

It can be incredibly dangerous if the bacterial infection from a tooth abscess spreads to your neck, jaw, or brain. You might even develop sepsis, which is a life-threatening infection that spreads through your body. Some rare but serious complications include septicaemia, which is an infection of the blood; Ludwig’s Angina, which can cause suffocation as it closes the airway; brain abscesses, which often require surgical drainage, and other bacterial infections such as meningitis, which can require lengthy hospitalization. The bacterial infection will spread from the tooth to the rest of the body very quickly in individuals with compromised immune systems. Infections can spread quickly from the tooth to the jaw to the brain because of the teeth’s proximity to the brain

To prevent an abscess from developing it’s important to practice good oral hygiene. In addition to brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, and using fluoride, it is important to visit your dentist for professional cleanings twice a year. Every three or four months you need to replace your toothbrush. Even after a bacterial or viral infection dentists suggest to change your toothbrush. The risk of cavity is increased if your diet is high in sugar, which in turn increases the risk for abscesses. So, as a preventive measure, it is always better to avoid sugary items. Wearing a mouthguard can prevent dental injuries if you are active in any contact sports.

Procedure

Immediate dental implants would last for a more extended period, and for this success, the doctors would perform a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Certain factors need to be taken into consideration before performing immediate dental implants. These would include knowing the quality of the bone, primary stability of the implants, type of gum, density of the bone, design of the implant, and bite consistencies. All these are the essential aspects to avoid unnecessary mistakes during the procedure. 

Initially, the doctor would rinse the patient’s mouth with a solution, and local anesthesia would be given. Once the particular area is numb, the damaged tooth will be extracted, or the broken tooth will be removed from the socket without damaging the bone in the surrounding area. The implant is placed simultaneously to the root of the tooth for excellent primary stability. An abutment will be performed to place the crown, which is the new tooth.

Immediate dental implants are considered to be the apt solution to replace missing teeth within a short period. This is a minimally invasive surgical technique that helps to preserve the gingival aesthetics as well.

According to the latest research, people with controlled and uncontrolled diabetes have an equal possibility of successful dental implant surgical procedures. The only difference is that people of poorly controlled diabetes need more time for implant healing before the dentures are being placed. With proper discussion with the dentist, diabetic people can choose any of the dental implant procedure, which is currently popular in the dentistry field.

People with diabetes after consulting with your specialist can have dental implants, but blood glucose control may be a consideration in how the implants are managed. Of course, you should keep all of the health professionals included in your care up to date on your plans, and must follow their guidance. While better glucose management is crucial for individuals with diabetes, compromises in glucose control won’t necessarily prevent them from receiving the benefits of dental implant therapy. After all, these individuals require dietary management to help control their blood sugar, so implant therapy may help them gain better control by restoring their ability to eat better.

As implant placement is a surgical procedure, the aspects of diabetes related to healing, infection, and inflammation could harm the ultimate success of the placement. Implant surgery creates a wound in the surrounding gum tissues and bone that will need to heal.the body’s immune response in a person with diabetes can interfere with that process. And if infection sets in, the risks of implant failure increase.

Globally, most cancer cases tend to be that of the head and neck, and most of that tends to be in underdeveloped countries. A combination of ablative surgery and radiotherapy is the most common method of treatment in these cases.

Following this, most patients suffer from defects to the hard and soft tissues, leading to deformity and functional disability. The conventional prosthesis may not be applicable, due to lack of bone support in holding the denture in position.

It is in this situation that dental implants play a crucial role in providing effective rehabilitation with regard to mastication; that is chewing, looks and ability to speak, effectively improving the patient’s quality of life.

A dental implant is a surgical component, usually made of titanium, which connects the bone of the skull or jaw, to the prosthesis that the patient may require. They are usually in the form of a screw with either a rough or smooth surface. Though titanium is most common, ceramic implants are also available.

However, because the implants are placed on irradiated surfaces, the chance of failure is high. Good results, however, are seen with a six-month implant schedule; followed by a six month healing period. Many also recommend a period of six months before implanting in the radiated bone. Good oral hygiene and regular follow-ups also help in avoiding complications.

To conclude: Yes, dental implants are applicable to cancer patients. But, a delayed or stretched out timetable may be advisable for effective dental rehabilitation, stability and integration of the implant with the bone.

It is reported that dental tourism constitutes 10% of Indian medical tourism which might grow to an extent of 30% by 2018. Despite the fact that tourists specify various reasons for their travel, the major pointer is the cost of dental surgery and dental implants, which is generally economical in India.
