<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Can I eat after dental treatment?<\/span><\/div>

Depending on the treatment, we will give you some or other indications, but in general you can eat, being very careful not to bite your lip because of the anesthesia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Can I enter the cabinet with my young child?<\/span><\/div>

From 3 years of age it is not recommended that parents enter the cabinet, unless it is a special situation. We have a human team prepared to attend and take care of the little ones. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Is an implant for life?<\/span><\/div>

No treatment performed in the mouth can be guaranteed to last forever, especially if hygiene instructions and periodic check-ups are not followed and there are habits such as smoking or underlying diseases. But well-maintained implants are treatments that can last several decades. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>How long does anesthesia last?<\/span><\/div>

It depends on each person, but an average of about 3 hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Why do I have cavities or tartar if I brush every day?<\/span><\/div>

Many times and even with good oral hygiene techniques we find ourselves with the genetic factor of each one that will determine, to a large extent, to have an enamel more susceptible to tooth decay or saliva with a pH that favors the formation of tartar. Sometimes it happens that there is a good brushing habit but we do not use interdental floss. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Is an electric toothbrush better than a manual one?<\/span><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Yes, the electric toothbrush produces rotating movements and has a smaller brush head that allows us to reach hard-to-reach areas more comfortably, it is highly recommended for people with reduced mobility. The manual toothbrush removes the same plaque if we apply a very good brushing technique. <\/p>\n

However, our recommendation is to use an electric toothbrush using the specific handling technique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Why does my breath smell?<\/span><\/div>

It is usually a problem of oral hygiene, sometimes brushing teeth three times a day is not enough if we do not incorporate other elements such as dental floss, interproximal brushes and tongue scrapers. Normally this problem is usually solved with a cleaning in the clinic. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>How long does orthodontic treatment last?<\/span><\/div>

Each patient’s case is different and a personalized study is performed to determine the time and treatment plan. The time may vary from 6 months to 2 years. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Do cleanings wear down tooth enamel?<\/span><\/div>

No, as long as they are done when indicated for tartar or gingival problems. At Dental Isilla we work with the best technology that adapts to each situation, protecting the dental enamel and treating stains with baking soda and erythritol. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Do you know how to floss?<\/span><\/div>

We must cut a piece long enough to be able to roll it on both index fingers, using our thumbs to clean the upper part and our index fingers to clean the lower part. We will make a slight lateral pressure to go beyond the point of contact between the teeth and we will raise the floss until we clean the gum of both teeth, with a gentle up and down movement and never forward and backward. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Are all implants the same and what are the most important differences? <\/span><\/div>

Not all implants are the same. The difference lies mainly in the surface treatment of the titanium, if there is any type of alloy in its structure, its design, its surface coating…there are published scientific studies that endorse the long-term stability of some brands with respect to others. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>If I am pregnant, can I have any dental treatment?<\/span><\/div>

If possible, the problem is the incompatibility of some drugs with pregnancy or the possible discomfort of long-term treatments with advanced gestations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>If I am diabetic, can I have an implant?<\/span><\/div>

A diabetic has problems with open wounds, since they tend to have worse healing and greater risk of infection. The important thing before performing an implant or any invasive procedure is that the patient’s blood sugar is under control. Afterwards, any procedure can be performed by instituting an antibiotic prophylaxis, in addition to performing the procedure with plasma rich in growth factors. This will provide the surgical wound\/implant with a greater number of cells that promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
