Malta Business Review DENTAL HEALTHCARE WANTING A CHANGE! By Dr Jean Paul Demajo An elderly patient walks in for a long overdue check-up, sits on the dental chair and says: “Dott I have no major problems in my mouth but I wish you to tell me how I may improve my teeth” This is a very common scenario. Unfortunately a lot of patients are still irregular attendees and only visit the dentist when in pain or when they wish to have a major overhaul. The dentist asks a few questions on what ideas they might have and how they wish to walk out following the termination of their treatment. Although a lot of these patients wouldn’t be in pain they would be putting up with a lot often forgetting the true comfort of the dentition they once had. At times, on examination one sees large cavities, broken teeth and signs of inflammation but yet the patient is still comfortable. Occasionally there are no cavities, no inflammation but yet patients aren’t quite comfortable with their mouth. Before Treatment Below is a list of ailments that often go unnoticed without causing pain but may still lead to discomfort and poor quality of life: 1. Food packing 2. Bleeding gums 3. Mobile teeth 4. Halitosis 5. Inability to eat evenly on both sides 6. Inability to eat chewy or hard food 7. Maligned or crooked/crammed teeth 8. Short tooth stubs 9. Colour mismatch 10. Asymmetrical smile Most of these ailments can easily be treated while others might require need more complex procedures to solve. There is no good reason as to why one must put up with any level of discomfort. Teeth are a major front for communication, socialization and general well-being. Teeth stand right behind our mouth and together produce a horrible or lovely smile. The latter has a large influence on our confidence and quality of life. Ask your dentist how they may help you! After Treatment A CASE STUDY A gentleman in his mid-60s wishes to improve his appearance. He does not suffer from much bar some sensitivity due to exposed roots following recessed gums and has otherwise a healthy albeit heavily restored dentition. He is unhappy with the colour and the general appearance of his teeth. His upper teeth appeared too prominent for his liking pointing out that he cannot see his bottom teeth. Following a lengthy consultation noting each of the patient’s wishes, it was decided to veneer and crown many of his upper heavily restored teeth. The aim was to improve their appearance, line them up better, improve the level of biting and make the lower teeth more visible. <strong>MBR</strong> DR JEAN PAUL DEMAJO Dental and Implant Surgeon 24
