Let's Know What Are the Benefits of Using Braces<\/a><\/h3>
Braces or commonly referred to as stirrups are wire-based devices used by orthodontists to correct uneven teeth or jaws and overlapping teeth. The main purpose of installing these braces is to align the teeth and jaw so that they can bite food properly and produce a beautiful smile. But keep in mind, that Friends of Hermina can't just install it. It requires a thorough examination by a dentist, before the device can be installed in the oral cavity. \n\n \n\n Don't Get Braces Just For Fashion \n\n Using braces is the right step to overcome a messy arrangement of teeth. As long as Sahabat Hermina undergoes this procedure at the dentist, the doctor can adjust the treatment steps, as well as the type of braces, according to the conditions. Unfortunately, nowadays there are many services for installing braces by people who are not dentists. This is of course worrying. This is because there are various risks due to placing braces in the wrong position, or with an inappropriate type. Imagine, if the coveted neat teeth are not achieved, and the teeth are getting messy. This treatment is highly not recommended, if the goal is just to be stylish, or follow existing trends. If the teeth are neatly arranged and then braces are attached, then there is a possibility that the arrangement of the teeth will actually shift, and make it messy. \n\n \n\n Why Should You Have Braces? \n\n Braces serve as a support so that the teeth grow where they should and do not interfere with the growth of other teeth or gums. The installation of these braces besides being able to tidy up the tooth structure, can ultimately have a good impact on oral health and dental hygiene as well. In addition, the following three reasons are generally considered why someone needs braces: \n\n \n Position the front teeth forward. \n The shape of the teeth is messy and irregular so it often scratches the gums and scratches the teeth and causes inflammation. \n Disorganized tooth structure gives speech articulation problems. \n A messy tooth structure can cause abnormalities in the jaw joints which result in pain when opening the mouth and chewing food. \n \n\n \n\n Benefits of Using Braces \n\n Braces are used to correct a variety of dental problems and provide a number of benefits. The main advantages of using braces such as: \n\n \n Improve dental health \n \n\n Orthodontic problems such as uneven teeth, plaque, irregular teeth, improper bite patterns, bacteria, gum disease, and others can be overcome by using braces. Braces will align the tooth structure in the most appropriate way and this can improve dental hygiene. \n\n \n Protect teeth \n \n\n People who have an uneven bite pattern or other orthodontic problems have a higher risk of having harmful impacts on the teeth, such as protruding front teeth, and early decay or problems with teeth. Therefore, people who experience this need a strong shield to protect the teeth. Braces act as a protector against these adverse effects, and at the same time maintain healthy teeth. \n\n \n Solve the problem of eating \n \n\n Many people have difficulty chewing or biting their food. This is caused by crooked teeth. If this is not corrected, it will cause nutritional and digestive problems. Therefore, you can use stirrup to solve your eating problem. \n\n \n Have a beautiful smile and straight teeth \n \n\n It is common knowledge that braces can improve the overall appearance of the teeth. Once crooked and irregular teeth are corrected, the result is a beautiful smile. \n\n \n\n The overall effect of this change will also increase the self-confidence of Friends of Hermina, so that Friends of Hermina will freely express themselves openly without hesitation or embarrassment.

Can Halitosis Really Cause Bad Breath?<\/a><\/h3>
Halitosis or bad breath is a complaint for many people. Halitosis is considered disturbing and even embarrassing. Halitosis itself can be a common thing (physiological) or indeed a disease (pathological). Bad breath when we wake up or when fasting is caused by dry mouth conditions. This is a common condition (physiological). \n\n The cause of halitosis due to pathological conditions consists of various things, including: \n\n \n Lack of oral hygiene \n Sores in the oral cavity, such as canker sores. \n Accumulation of food scraps, for example in cavities, tooth gaps, or tongue. \n Gum disease, such as swollen gums, festering, bleeding gums, etc. \n Inflammation of the respiratory tract. \n Inflammation of the digestive tract. \n Other factors that can cause halitosis are risk factors such as tobacco, alcohol, dry mouth, diet, food and drink, drugs, and dentures. \n \n\n The smell we smell is a product produced by anaerobic bacteria, known as VSC (Volatile Sulfur Compounds). These anaerobic bacteria are present in large quantities in our mouths, especially when pathological conditions occur. \n\n What should we do when we have bad breath? \n\n First, first identify the cause. If it is due to a pathological condition, immediately consult a specialist to treat the cause. If the cause is in the oral cavity, we can start with home care to overcome it, before rushing to the dentist. \n\n How to care for oral health: \n\n \n Brush your teeth regularly. Brush your teeth 2 times a day, after breakfast and before going to bed. Do a good brushing on the entire surface of the teeth and clean between the teeth with dental floss. \n Use a tongue scraper (tongue scraper or brushing the tongue with a toothbrush) to remove the white coating on the surface of the tongue. \n Use antiseptic mouthwash if necessary. Only the effect of this mouthwash is only temporary. \n Regularly chew sugar-free gum. This causes the production of saliva to increase, so that it can help clean the teeth and mouth from bacteria and food debris. \n Regular denture cleaning. \n Drink lots of water. \n Reduce alcohol consumption and don't smoke. \n \n\n If after the cleaning phase at home you still feel bad breath, sour taste in your mouth, then immediately consult a dentist to discuss the causes, evaluate the stages of cleaning at home, treatments to be carried out, medicines to be taken, or even addition of other dental hygiene aids besides toothbrushes. Halitosis or bad breath can be prevented by paying attention to oral hygiene and maintaining good dental care habits by having regular and regular dental and oral check-ups to the dentist. \n\n Optimal mouth cleaning allows us to avoid bad breath. Don't let bad breath interfere with our daily activities. Do routine control to the Dentist at Hermina Podomoro Hospital every 6 months. Greetings healthy. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

WHY AT ADULT AGE, NEW WITTEST MOLARS ARE GROWING?<\/a><\/h3>
Wisdom teeth usually often cause feelingexcruciating pain. This usually occurs when there is no more space left in the gums where the wisdom teeth occupy. then, why do wisdom teeth only grow at an adult age? \n\n The cause is usually becausethere is no more space left in the gums that wisdom teeth can occupy is the cause of new wisdom teeth appearing around the age of 17 to 25 years, although there are many possibilities until the age of 30 years. \n\n You see, adults can have a maximum of 32 teeth in the oral cavity, including wisdom teeth. \n\n Wisdom teeth will grow in the area of the four parts of the jaw, namely the upper right back, left upper back, right lower back, and lower left behind. \n\n The first molars will usually appear when you are 6 years old, while the second molars will appear when you are 12 years old. \n\n However, wisdom teeth cannot emerge like other molars. The development of the jaws that are not yet perfect makes the place for tooth eruption more limited. \n\n Well, if the wisdom teeth appear in the right direction and position, then this won't be a problem. \n\n Unfortunately, many people feel that their wisdom teeth only grow partially or grow sideways. In medical terms, this condition is known asimpacted wisdom teeth. \n\n Teeth that are too large can also cause impaction. \n\n Impacted wisdom teeth can cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, and even fever, especially if these teeth puncture the surrounding teeth and gums. \n\n There is no way to prevent wisdom teeth from growing sideways. This tooth growth is natural and depends on the condition of the previous tooth seed. \n\n If the wisdom tooth seeds are in good condition,sotooth arrangementit will grow straight and will function normally. \n\n Even though they can grow normally without causing impaction, wisdom teeth still need extra care, especially if you decide to keep them. \n\n Wisdom teeth that are not removed can potentially cause problems in the future. \n\n Given that it is located at the back and is quite difficult to reach with a toothbrush, wisdom teeth can become a gathering place for bacteria from food scraps that are still accumulating. \n\n If the wisdom teeth have problems, immediately consult a dentist at RSU Hermina Medan, so that they can get the maximum grip. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Do not panic! Bad Breath Can Be Prevented<\/a><\/h3>
Bad breath is a common problem for people of all ages. Apart from disturbing self-confidence, this condition can also be an indication of certain conditions, ranging from mouth problems to digestive disorders. About 3 out of 10 people can experience bad breath or what is commonly called halitosis. This condition often makes sufferers feel insecure and even interferes with social relationships and their quality of life. \n\n Causes of bad breath \n\n Bad breath comes from bacteria belonging to the volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide. One of the products of these VSCs bacteria known as bad breath bacteria is Streptococcus salivarius. \n\n The growth of this bacteria is caused by various factors based on lifestyle, physical and mental health conditions, and the influence of hormones. Medically, there are 3 factors that cause bad breath: \n\n \n Local factors which are influenced by dental and oral health. \n Systemic factors which originate from the disease and the drugs consumed. \n Psychogenic factors which are triggered by stress and other mental health disorders. \n \n\n According to studies, 1 in 4 people in the world experience bad breath which can be caused by the following behaviors: \n\n 1. Not maintaining healthy teeth and mouth \n\n As previously mentioned, bad breath comes from bacteria. Bacteria accumulate due to poor dental and oral health, such as not brushing your teeth regularly or not cleaning between your teeth. \n\n In addition to bad breath, bad bacteria in the mouth will cause plaque, cavities, and gingivitis. \n\n 2. Dry mouth \n\n Why does dry mouth condition cause bad breath? Hermina's friends need to know, if there is saliva in the mouth to keep the mouth clean with fresh breath. Lack of saliva in the mouth is usually caused by an active smoking habit, as well as in the use of medical drugs. \n\n 3. Consuming food with a strong aroma \n\n Foods and drinks with strong aromas such as onions, spices, coffee can cause bad breath. This is due to the absorption of oil from these foods when digesting. Then, it gets absorbed in the bloodstream and empties into the lungs. \n\n 4. GERD disease \n\n GERD disease is a condition where stomach acid rises into the esophagus. Stomach acid is what produces bad breath after going through the digestive process. \n\n 5. Other diseases such as diabetes, respiratory tract infections, liver and kidney \n\n In diabetics, ketoacidosis is prone to inflammation of the gums which causes bad breath. This is due to the effect of increasing blood sugar. Mild or severe respiratory infections will have an impact on bad breath, for example coughs, colds, sinusitis, bronchitis, to pneumonia. Damage to the liver has an impact on its inability to filter the body's toxins. The same goes for people with kidney disease. Toxins that settle will produce bacteria that cause bad breath. \n\n How to Prevent Bad Breath \n\n Bad breath that interferes with social activities can certainly be prevented easily and simply by doing the following: \n\n \n Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day, in the morning after eating and at night before going to bed. \n If necessary, gargling with non-alcoholic and anti-bacterial mouthwash, and cleaning the tongue. \n Reduce smoking, coffee, and strong-smelling foods. \n Drink plenty of water so your mouth doesn't dry out. \n Reduce sweet and high-sugar foods to increase saliva production. \n Cleaning between the teeth, because leftover food can land in hidden places which can cause cavities to cause bad breath. \n \n\n Prevent bad breath by having your teeth checked regularly at least once every 6 months \n\n The main cause of bad breath is poor dental health. In addition, a person's health condition also affects oral health. For that, don't forget to go to the dentist to check the dental and oral health of Friends of Hermina at least once every 6 months. \n\n This examination aims to check whether there is filling action on cavities or cleaning tartar. If it turns out that there is a more severe case, the dentist will take further action based on the symptoms you are feeling. Come on, visit the Specialist Dental Clinic at RSU Hermina Pandanaran and make a doctor's appointment with trusted doctors and medical experts! \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wisdom Teeth That Makes Pain<\/a><\/h3>
What are wisdom or impacted teeth? Impacted teeth are teeth that cannot or cannot erupt into their normal functional position due to resistance from adjacent teeth, bone or surrounding pathological tissue. This situation can lead to pathological conditions that require further treatment. Impacted teeth are divided into two conditions, namely full impaction or total impaction (complete impacted) and partial impaction. \n\n The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMFS) in their electronic book entitled Wisdom Teeth states that 9 out of 10 people have at least one impacted tooth (Ebook Wisdom Teeth, AAOMFS, 2021). The condition of impacted teeth is a common condition, which ranges from 0.8-3.6% of the total population in general. Impacted third molars have the greatest prevalence, which is between 16.7% and 68.6%, and it is estimated that around 65% of the world's human population has at least one impacted molar (Silvestri and Singh, 2003; Goyal et al., 2016). The most frequently impacted teeth were the mandibular and maxillary third molars, followed by the maxillary canines and mandibular premolars. This is because the third molars are the last teeth in the eruption sequence, resulting in a lack of room for eruption. \n\n \n\n Impacted teeth often make it difficult to maintain oral hygiene because of their position which cannot be reached by a toothbrush, which can cause adverse effects in the long term. Impacted third molars are the most common cause of caries second molars due to food retention. The excess of soft tissue over the coronal part of the partially erupted impacted tooth often causes gum inflammation due to the difficulty in cleaning the pseudopocket area that is formed, thus becoming a place for the development of cariogenic bacteria and periodontal pathogenic bacteria found in the oral flora. Inflammation that appears in the soft tissue around impacted teeth is called pericoronitis. This condition can cause an infection, which, if left untreated, can spread to the head and neck area. Impacted teeth can stimulate the occurrence of cysts and other pathological forms, especially during the formation of teeth. Tooth seeds that experience interference with the formation process so that they become imperfect, can cause primordial cysts and follicular cysts. Another pathological condition that can arise as a result of impacted teeth is an odontogenic tumor. The frequency of odontogenic cysts and tumors arising from impacted third molars is approximately 3%. Other impacts of impacted teeth are periodontal disease of the surrounding teeth, resorption of adjacent roots, cephalalgia, abscess and odontogenic rhinosinusitis. \n\n \n\n Preoperative complaints in the form of pain/ache in 50% of patients, 25% difficulty opening mouth/trimus, 16.70%, swelling, and 8.30% dizziness. Various problems caused by impacted teeth are not limited to health problems, but more broadly can reduce the quality of life so that it disrupts people's productivity and will eventually cause economic problems because of the costs involved in handling them. \n\n Impacted teeth that have caused complaints and have the potential to cause pathological conditions and are feared to cause damage and wider problems, are advised to take action. The management of impacted teeth can include operculectomy, autogenous transplantation, initiation of orthodontically guided eruption, germectomy, coronoctomy, and odontectomy. This assessment and alignment also requires coordination with other medical disciplines (ENT-KL, radiology, anesthesia) so that appropriate and comprehensive management of impacted teeth can be provided. \n\n If Friends of Hermina have symptoms as described, don't wait later, please immediately consult a Dentist Specialist for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Hermina Podomoro Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Getting to Know Christmas and Neonatal Teeth<\/a><\/h3>
Friends of Hermina, Baby's first teeth growth will occur at the age range of 6-8 months. In fact, there are several cases of baby teething at an age younger than 6 months and longer than 8 months. There are also cases of babies born with teeth that have grown which is called a natal tooth. If the appearance of teeth occurs within the first 30 days after the baby is born, this tooth is called a neonatal tooth. \n\n \n\n The question that is often asked regarding this natal and neonatal tooth is whether it is caused by excessive consumption of calcium during pregnancy? Apparently, until now the cause is not known. However, there is some conjecture that the appearance of natal or neonatal teeth is influenced by undergrowth or poorly formed gums. Another assumption is that the mandibular incisors usually grow first when the baby is 6 months old. It is possible that this rapid tooth eruption is influenced by heredity. In the worst case, this natal and neonatal tooth eruption is a sign of a syndrome of disorders, such as: Ellis van Creveld syndrome, Hallermann-Steiff syndrome, Oier Robin syndrome, and Soto's syndrome. Natal and neonatal teeth generally grow on the front lower jaw, never on the back. \n\n \n\n The number can be one or two, but the most common are newborns with one tooth. The incidence of natal tooth is relatively rare, the ratio is 1:2,000-3,000, while the incidence (prevalence) of neonatal tooth is highly variable, usually 1 baby out of 2,000 births. Because it is a rare occurrence, natal and neonatal teeth are classified as abnormalities of tooth growth and development. The shape is not perfect and the size tends to be small. Usually these teeth are loose because the roots are not fully formed and only hold on to the edge of the gums. Tooth maturation generally begins at the crown which is visible from its appearance on the surface of the gums. This is followed by the roots after the crown penetrates the gums. If the roots are not strong, the crown of the tooth will loosen. Natal and neonatal teeth that are wobbly because the roots do not need to worry will come off on their own and enter the baby's respiratory tract, making it choked and difficult to breathe. Indeed, after these teeth are extracted, the baby will not have the front milk teeth again. However, there is no need to worry because permanent teeth will appear when the child is 5-6 years old. Another reason, the base of the baby's tongue can be injured due to friction with the natal and neonatal teeth continuously. This wound at the base of the tongue can certainly reduce the appetite for breastfeeding the baby because it feels pain. Natal and neonatal teeth will also rub against the mother's nipple while breastfeeding, which can cause blisters. \n\n \n\n The solution, mothers can pump and give breast milk to their little ones with the help of a spoon. So if the baby's teeth do not move, the baby's tongue is not injured, or the mother's nipples are not cracked, there is no need to remove the tooth. The growth of natal and neonatal teeth occurs in only a few cases found at birth, and infants are generally born without teeth. Then does the baby's oral cavity need to be cleaned like after teething? The answer is of course very necessary, because the cleanliness of the baby's oral cavity is an important factor to maintain the health of the baby as the body's first defense against disease. \n\n \n\n How to clean the baby's oral cavity can be done by using gauze that has been moistened with boiled water, sweeping gauze over the entire surface of the gums, tongue and cheeks thoroughly. Perform dental cleaning after the baby is breastfed to prevent fungal growth in the oral cavity. In addition to gauze, cleaning the oral cavity can also be done with a cotton bud moistened with warm boiled water. For babies who have teething, use a special toothbrush for babies. The direction of cleaning can be vertical or horizontal. \n\n \n\n The important thing when brushing teeth is that the entire surface of the teeth is brushed clean, both the outside and the inside (facing the tongue), and the gaps are also cleaned. Don't forget to clean the baby's tongue because the remaining milk stuck to the tongue can become food for bacteria so that it can cause cavities. Do not underestimate this early dental care, because milk teeth will help chew well, thereby maximizing nutrient absorption. Good baby teeth also determine the quality of permanent teeth that will grow. Visit a Pediatric Dentist at Hermina Hospital Balikpapan for further consultation. At registration number 0813-4680-9035.

Know How To Prevent & Overcome Tooth Cavities<\/a><\/h3>
Cavities that are not treated immediately are at risk of causing infection. Infections that occur will cause pain in the teeth, especially when chewing food. Find out the causes of cavities and how to overcome them in the following article. \n\n Tooth decay is a condition where tooth tissue breaks down, resulting in a hole in the tooth. This generally occurs because it is caused by bacteria that ferment food debris on the tooth surface. In addition, consumption of sweet foods or drinks, and not maintaining oral hygiene also causes cavities. This condition can be experienced by anyone, including adults, adolescents, children, and infants. If it is severe, cavities can cause infection until the tooth dies. Therefore, maintaining dental and oral hygiene is important for early prevention. \n\n Causes of Cavities \nThe cause of cavities initially is always marked by the presence of plaque on the teeth. Plaque that adheres slowly will erode the coating on the teeth to form holes. Here are some of the causes of cavities: \n1. Plaque \n\n Plaque is the main cause of cavities, because plaque is a layer consisting of bacteria and food residue that is sticky and sticks to the teeth. Usually contained in sweet foods or drinks that contain certain carbohydrates. Examples include cakes, candy, soda, and other sweet foods. If you do not immediately check your dental health condition to the dentist it will cause symptoms of toothache. \n\n 2. The habit of rarely brushing teeth \n\n If you are lazy to brush your teeth, the leftover food found on the surface of your teeth will be fermented by bacteria in the oral cavity and produce acid which can eventually damage tooth tissue. \n\n 3. Dry mouth condition \n\n Saliva can help wash away food debris on the teeth and reduce bacteria in the mouth that cause decay. \n\n 4. Stomach Acid \n\n Stomach acid can rise to the oral cavity causing acidic conditions that will erode the surface of the teeth. If left unchecked, this condition will cause serious tooth decay. \n\n In addition, the location of the teeth can also cause cavities. For example, wisdom teeth or pressed teeth. Wisdom teeth that are located at the back are sometimes difficult to clean. Meanwhile, crowding of teeth will make it difficult to thoroughly clean between the teeth. As a result, food scraps are often left behind and cause cavities. \n\n Symptoms of Cavities \n\n \n Cavities in teeth are usually whitish in the early stages, then become brownish and blackish until they are clearly visible \n Mild to severe pain when eating or drinking cold, hot or sweet foods \n Sometimes pain appears suddenly / spontaneously without any stimulation \n Pain when food enters the tooth cavity or when chewing \n Bad breath \n Teeth are more sensitive \n \n\n How to prevent cavities \n1. Diligently brush your teeth \n\n Brush your teeth 2 times a day, after breakfast and before going to bed. It is recommended to brush your teeth at least 2 times a day to reduce and clean food debris and plaque in the oral cavity. \n\n 2. Use toothpaste that contains fluoride \n\n Toothpaste containing fluoride is known to be more effective at helping strengthen and protect the outermost layer of teeth (email). Fluoride toothpaste can also help remineralize areas of tooth enamel that have begun to erode. \n\n 3. Choosing the right toothbrush \n\n In addition to toothpaste, make sure Friends of Hermina also choose the right toothbrush. Choose a toothbrush that has soft bristles and has a small brush head that fits the size of the oral cavity. \n\n 4. Reduce sweet foods \n\n Sweet foods usually contain high sugar which can accelerate the formation of cavities in teeth, limiting sweet foods means that you prevent cavities and after eating sweets it is mandatory to brush your teeth. \n\n 5. Regularly check with the dentist \n\n Check your teeth regularly at least every 6 months to the dentist to detect cavities. Hermina's friends can also consult not only with dental cavities but other complaints such as tartar, straightening teeth and others. The dentist will provide treatment according to the diagnosis. So what are the treatments for cavities? \n\n Cavities Treatment \nHere are some treatments for cavities: \n1. Dental Filling \n\n Treatment for cavities that are not too deep to affect the dental pulp, usually the dentist will perform dental fillings. The dentist will clean around the tooth cavity with a bur and then add dental materials to fill the tooth surface. After that you are usually asked for a control 1 week later to evaluate whether your teeth are comfortable or there are still complaints. \n\n 2. Root Canal Treatment \n\n Root canal treatment is carried out when the tooth cavity has reached the dental pulp, usually this treatment requires several visits depending on the case of the tooth. If not treated immediately, there will be an infection around the tooth and can cause swelling of the gums to come out to the surface of the face. \n\n 3. Tooth Extraction \n\n Tooth extraction is performed as a last resort for dental treatment when the tooth is no longer possible to maintain. \n\n 4. Drug administration \n\n The administration of medicine depends on the case of the tooth. If an infection or inflammation is detected, with pain, or just pain, the dentist will prescribe medication according to the diagnosis. \n\n So Friends of Hermina, don't forget to keep your teeth and mouth clean to avoid cavities and check regularly every 6 months to the dentist.

Knowing Tooth Impaction and How to Prevent It<\/a><\/h3>
Have you ever experienced the growth of painful molars? It could be an impacted tooth. Let's get to know what an impacted tooth is. \n\n Normally, adults have 32 teeth including 4 wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth or third molars usually erupt when a person is between the ages of 17 and early 20s. In many people, wisdom teeth cannot grow normally, either because they are trapped under the gums or only part of the tooth surface is able to penetrate the gums. This condition is called tooth impaction. Tooth impaction is quite common and is often painless. But many also feel pain if wisdom teeth grow sideways or do not emerge from the surface of the gums. \n\n Causes of Impacted Tooth \n\n Tooth impaction can occur for the following reasons: \n\n \n The jaw is too small so there is not enough room for the teeth to grow. \n Teeth become crooked or tilted when trying to grow. \n The teeth have grown in an irregular position, blocking the wisdom teeth. \n \n\n \nWhat are the consequences of an impacted tooth? \n\n Impacted teeth are a potential source of continuous complaints in patients, since the teeth begin to erupt. Complaints that are often felt are pain, unable to open the mouth and swelling that occurs around the gums (gingiva). Impacted teeth also affect aesthetics, mastication disorders, speech difficulties, interfere with daily activities and can also cause infection. \n\n The frequency of occurrence of impacted teeth was highest in the mandibular third molars, maxillary third molars, maxillary canines, mandibular premolars, mandibular canines, maxillary premolars, and maxillary incisors. \n\n Symptoms and How to Overcome Tooth Impaction \n\n Buried or partially erupted teeth can cause food debris to get stuck. In addition, bacteria are also easier to enter, causing pain and swelling of the gums. The position of the hidden teeth at the back makes it difficult for a toothbrush to reach. \n\n Food debris stuck in the area, if not cleaned, can trigger pericoronitis. Pericoronitis is an inflammation of the gum tissue around the teeth. Disturbances that can arise due to impacted teeth can cause symptoms in the form of swollen gums, and bad breath. Other symptoms of impacted teeth include: \n\n \n Teeth only appear slightly on the surface of the gums. \n Jaw pain. \n Prolonged headache. \n Swollen gums and redness around the buried teeth. \n Difficulty opening mouth. \n Neck glands swell. \n Toothache when biting, especially in the area where the tooth is impacted. \n \n\n Impacted teeth actually do not require special treatment if they do not cause complaints. If complaints arise, immediately consult a dentist. Because if left unchecked, infected teeth will cause complications, such as periodontitis, tooth or gum abscess, severe pain, malocclusion or irregular arrangement of teeth, formation of dental plaque, and nerve damage around the teeth. Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat a tooth that is infected with bacteria. \n\n Before any complaints or complications arise, it is recommended that you remove an impacted tooth before the age of 20. At this age, the roots of the teeth are not fully developed, so they are easier to remove. As we age, the roots of teeth and bones become stronger, so the process of removing teeth becomes more difficult, and the healing process will take longer. \n\n The hidden teeth must be removed through wisdom tooth surgery. This action is done when the location of the tooth is in the gums. Consult a dentist regularly every 6 months at Hermina Pandanaran Hospital. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
