Dentist Direct Dubai reminds of tobacco consumption risks
dubai — In support of World No Tobacco Day, observed around the world every year on May 31, Dentist Direct Dubai reminds the public about the risks of tobacco use especially in the UAE where a the number of smokers is increasing.
Dentist Direct Dubai identifies other significant ways that smoking ruins oral health and suggested the following treatments:
Tooth stains
Smoking causes tooth stains or overall tooth discoloration. Teeth whitening or veneers can reduce or remove the staining. Dentist Direct provides the best affordable Dental veneers, other alternatives include simple tooth reshaping (enameloplasty), using tooth colored filling materials to close gaps and reshape teeth (bonding) and different methods of tooth whitening.
Bad breath
One of the main causes of halitosis is smoking. With Dentist Direct’s Fresh Breath Clinic, it can help identify the cause of halitosis and cure this embarrassing problem by examining the gums for signs of gum disease, and provide a thorough hygiene treatment.
Tooth decay
Smoking increases the amount of dental plaque in the mouth, and the more dental plaque, the harder it is to remove. This eventually leads to dental tartar and tooth decay. Dentist Direct’s practice has the benefit of having a dental hygienist who is highly trained in the prevention of gum disease.
Gum disease
Tobacco interferes with the function of gum tissue cells. Gums become damaged by separating from the bone, leaving them open to infection. Dentist Direct will carry out an examination and x-rays to assess the damage to the bone levels hidden under the gum.
Tooth loss
Advanced periodontitis eventually leads to bone deterioration and tooth loss. However at Dentist Direct, the clinic uses a syringe-less and pain-less anaesthesia technique with The Wand to ensure patients are fully numb and comfortable before they begin periodontal treatment.
Oral cancer
Smoking greatly increases chances of getting oral cancer. In fact, 90 per cent of oral cancer patients are smokers. Dentist Direct use the latest VelScope technology to examine your mouth for early signs of abnormalities, early diagnosis is key to treatment success.
Dentist Direct is commitment to provide extensive and high quality dental services with its comprehensive dental plans that will help in providing tailored services according to patients’ needs.
