Can poor oral hygiene cause gum recession?
Yes, poor oral hygiene is a common cause of gum recession. Inadequate brushing, flossing, and overall dental care can lead to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria, which may contribute to gum disease. Gum disease, in turn, is a significant factor in gum recession. Regular dental care and good oral hygiene practices can help prevent or slow down gum recession.

What anesthesia is used for gum pinhole surgery?
For gum pinhole surgery, a local anesthetic is typically used. The most commonly used local anesthetic is lidocaine, which is administered through an injection near the treatment area to numb the gums and surrounding tissues. This helps to ensure that the patient does not experience pain or discomfort during the procedure. READ MORE
Do lingual braces work faster?
Hello In response to your question, do lingual braces work faster? Lingual braces are braces that are placed on the backside of the teeth, making them less visible compared to traditional braces that are placed on the front of the teeth. The primary goal of braces, regardless of their placement, is to gradually and effectively align the teeth and correct any bite or alignment issues. In terms of treatment speed, the effectiveness and duration of orthodontic treatment with lingual braces may vary from case to case. While there isn't a significant difference in the treatment duration between lingual braces and traditional braces, some studies suggest that lingual braces may require slightly longer treatment times. The treatment duration primarily depends on factors such as the complexity of the orthodontic issue, the severity of misalignment, the individual's oral health, and how well the individual follows the orthodontist's instructions. Additionally, the expertise and experience of the orthodontist can also influence the treatment duration. It's important to consult with an orthodontist who can evaluate your specific orthodontic needs and provide you with a personalized treatment plan, including an estimated duration of treatment. They will consider various factors to determine the best treatment option for you, whether it be lingual braces or another orthodontic appliance.
