*Embedded 20 years old teeth in the jaws.
*Problems in temporomandibilar joint
*Nevraljiform pains.
*Mucousal or cutanous pains(related to herpes zoster,recurrent aphtous stomatitis,nonhodgkin lenfomas,behcet’s syndrome,pemphigus,pemhigoid,…)

Sugary foods are very delicious when you’re eating.And you want to eat them again and again.The article in medical journal was saying that sugar give damage as much as tobacco,it makes you dependent.(2007,february)
Researches show that sugary diets increase the formation of caries.It will change ph value in saliva and enamel crystalsstart to dissolve.So,caries form.If you eat sugar together with meal,caries are seen less than caries formed by sugar intaken between meal.
Nowadays,baby’s food includes more sugar.Forexample,in Europe 200 ml’s baby food including apple
equals sugar as much as 10 cubic sugar.
Nutrition of mother during pregnancy is very important.If the mother consumes more sugary diets,baby borns having tendency to sugary diets.
Please don’t forget that sugar intake causes caries,obesitiy,diabetes,hypertension,cardiac problems,cancer.We people should be aware.

If you remove all plaque and bacterias from your mouth ,oral hygiene will be succesful.When you don’t remove food from mouth ,plaque occurs easily.
*you should brush your teeth at least 2 times in a day during 2 minutes.
*brush your tongue.
*use dental floss or tape once a day.
*support it with the solutions for mouth.
*use toothpaste which includes fluoride.
*when there are wide interdental spaces present,interdental brush is ideal for the removal of interdental plaque.It is also useful aid for cleaning around bridges.

How you brush your teeth?The effective method is Bass method that removes plaque adjacent to and directly below the gingival margin.The brush is held so that the bristles are directed apically
and then placed against the gingival margin at an angle of 45 degree to the long axis of the tooth.The brush is then vibrated in an anterior-posterior direction.In order to clean the lingual surfaces of the upper and lower anterior teeth the brush has to be turned into a vertical position ,using the bristles at the toe of the brush to obtain proper access to the gingival area of the teeth.

In the lack of teeth, generally classical prosthesis use for function,nutrition,speech,and esthetic reasons.Although classical prosthesis,dental implants are preferred nowadays.

İmplant means that biocompatible material which places in the missing teeth inside the jaw bone.
Before the decision of implant,it should be searched that if the patient has a systemic disease or not.Smokig is a very important disadvantage for implant.Age of the person is very important factor.
Sometimes the level of the jaw bone can not be enough for dental implantation.In such situations,
classical methods are preferred.

If the teeth’s connective tissue damages that ıt can not be protected,it needs root canal treatment.

Pulp damages by caries,periodontal diseases,traumas,fractures,abrassions.So,in this conditions pulpal tissue is extracted,root canals are formed,enlarged and disinfected and then filled by a
biocompitable material.

Orthodontic treatment purpose these:
*having correct arrangement of teeth in true dental arches.
*having a good chewing function.
*having a better speech.
*having a perfect estethic appearence.

Clinical observations show that if you have correct aligned teeth your oral hygine will be better according to people having misaligned teeth and you will have less caries.

Pregnancy is a period of changes of physical,emotional and physyological.Because of changes in hormones during pregnancy oral health shows many changes.
Between 2-8 months in pregnancy dental infections can be seen instead of hormonal differences.
So,oral hygine is very important during pregnacy.Caries can be seen frequently.
If you have plan to have a baby you should be controlled by dentist before pregnancy.
WHO (World Health Organization) suggests that women shouldn’t consume sugary diets from 4.th
month of pregnancy.Thus, new born baby does not have a tendency to sugary diets and they don’t
have caries.

Healthy gingiva is described as coral pink,but it shows some differencies in dark colored skinned people.If:
