Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common dental surgeries. It can take up to 2 weeks to recover fully after wisdom teeth removal. Looking after the wound properly can help a person to heal as quickly as possible.
Wisdom teeth are large teeth that grow at the very back of the mouth. Most people's wisdom teeth come through between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people may not have any wisdom teeth come through at all.
Sometimes, there is not enough room in the mouth for wisd...

Hidden tooth infections increase heart disease risk by almost three times
Undetected tooth infections could increase the risk of heart disease by almost three times, according to new research.
The study, published in the Journal of Dental Research, has found that people with untreated tooth infections are 2.7 times more likely to have cardiovascular problems, such as coronary artery disease, than patients who have had treatment of dental infections.
... With cardiovascular diseases being a contributor in an estimated 30 per cent of all deaths globally, leading health charity, the Oral Health Foundation, wants to encourage more regular dental visits, especially if we are experiencing toothache, sensitivity or bleeding gums.
Speaking on the issue Dr Nigel Carter OBE, CEO of the Oral Health Foundation, said: "This research is very worrying as tooth infections are initially caused by tooth decay which is triggered by poor oral hygiene routines and a diet high in sugar.
"The major signs of root infection (usually known as a dental abscess) include pain, often when biting down on the tooth, and sometimes swelling. The tooth may also become discoloured. But sometimes infection does not immediately present with these symptoms and can go undetected for some time.
"Thankfully, maintaining good basic oral health and cutting your risk is very easy. By brushing our teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste; cut down on the amount of sugary foods and drinks and how often we have them and visiting our dentist regularly, as often as they recommend, we can help prevent disease, not only in the mouth but the whole body too."
As well as looking after your oral health preventing gum disease can be boosted by a healthy diet, weight control, exercise and not smoking.
"Infections occur when decay reaches the centre of the tooth, the dental pulp, when the tooth dies a reservoir of bacteria spreads beyond the end of the root and can enter the bloodstream. Treatment for this would usually be a root canal treatment to remove all of the infected tissue and prevent bacteria spreading," Dr Carter added.
"These new findings add to the existing links between gum disease and cardiovascular disease. It has previously been established that people with gum disease almost twice as likely to develop heart disease than people without it, this makes the need for good oral care even more important.
"Over recent years' problems in the mouth have also been linked to other serious conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and problems with pregnancy, so it is vital that we see our oral health as a priority."

What causes pericoronitis?
Pericoronitis occurs when the wisdom teeth do not have enough room to erupt through the gums. As a result, they may only partially come through the gum, which may lead to inflammation and infection of the soft tissue around the wisdom tooth.
If wisdom teeth only partially erupt, gum flaps may develop. These flaps are areas where food can become trapped, and bacteria can build up, causing infection.

Q: What do I do if I knock out my tooth?
A: For a knocked-out permanent or adult tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that's not possible, place it in between your cheek and gums, in milk, or use a tooth preservation product that has the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Then, get to your dentist's office right away.
Q: What if I crack my tooth?
... A: For a cracked tooth, immediately rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Put cold compresses on the face to keep any swelling down. See your dentist as soon as possible.
If you find yourself in an emergency situation, please contact 75 Harley for an appointment.

Hello from 75 Harley
We hope you had a fantastic weekend.
Today's subject is Smart Eating... A nutritious diet and good oral hygiene routine are important parts of maintaining a healthy life. They become especially important if you lose your health.
Eating nutritious food and staying on top of your oral health in the face of illness can make all the difference. Consider these common concerns about the impact of nutrition and oral health when dealing with disease and its symptoms:
вң” Cancer and Dental Health вң” Mouth Sores вң” Dry Mouth and Difficulty Swallowing вң” Oral Care Tips вң” Cancer and Dental Health
Good oral care is always important but it can be especially critical when someone is being treated for cancer.
According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, one-third of cancer patients develop complications that affect the mouth.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapies can cause issues with eating and affect your mouth in other ways, too. For example, chemotherapy treatment sometimes causes painful mouth and throat sores.
More critically, since chemotherapy lowers your immunity defenses, the natural bacteria that live in your mouth can easily infect these sores. Once infected, the sores can be difficult to heal, so it's important to do everything you can to prevent them from happening in the first place.
If you get mouth sores, try these tips to make eating easier and speed healing:
вң” Eat soft or pureed foods, like mashed potatoes, pureed or cream soup, scrambled eggs, yogurt, cooked cereal, pudding and custard, cottage cheese, macaroni and cheese, and milk shakes.
вңҳAvoid tart, salty, spicy and acidic foods and drinks.
вң”Choose cool or room temperature foods. вң”Blend and moisten dry or solid foods. вң”Drink through a straw to bypass mouth sores. вң”Eat high protein, high calorie foods to speed up healing time.
For example, add protein powder to milk shakes or powdered dry milk to fortify mashed potatoes and soups.

Grinding and clenching teeth at night is a condition called bruxism. It occurs in many people at some point in their lifetime. The severity and the duration of the problem vary according to individual circumstances. Here's what you need to know:
Symptoms that you're grinding or clenching your teeth at night
Facial pain and fatigue, especially in the jaw area, are common due to prolonged clenching of the muscles. Many people who suffer from bruxism wake up with headaches. Teet...h often become painful, sensitive or loose. They may crack, chip or show wear in the enamel. Your sleeping partner may notice loud sounds when your teeth grind together, but it's also possible to do it silently.
Why is it happening?
Physical or emotional stress is the main culprit for bruxism. Physical factors frequently include fitness levels, nutrition, overall health and sleep habits. External emotional stressors can include money, work and relationship challenges.
Treatment options
Figuring out the source of the stress and addressing it can eliminate the grinding. Perform a relaxing routine before bed, such as light yoga, a warm bath or a cup of herbal tea. Some people say that placing a warm cloth over their jaw as they go to sleep helps reduce grinding and clenching.
See your dentist to determine if any damage has occurred as a result of grinding your teeth. Your dentist may suggest that you wear a night guard while you sleep. This is a device worn inside the mouth to cushion teeth during grinding and clenching. In severe cases, your doctor may recommend jaw exercises to help sooth and relax overworked muscles.
Grinding in children
Children can have problems with clenching and grinding at night as well. Just because they are young doesn't mean that they are immune to stress. If you hear your child grinding in the night, or they complain of headaches, tooth pain or facial discomfort, visit a pediatric dentist to see about a night guard.
When it isn't addressed, grinding and clenching often leads to serious damage in the teeth and jaws. It also leaves the sufferer exhausted and in pain. If you suspect grinding and clenching, contact 75 Harley!

Overview Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, by a dentist or prosthodontist. Crowns are used most commonly to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth or cover an implant. Your dentist may recommend a crown to:
... Replace a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining
Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
Restore a fractured tooth
Attach a bridge
Cover a dental implant;
Cover a discolored or poorly shaped tooth
Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to shift resulting in a bad bite. This can also lead to gum disease and TMJ disorders. Bridges are commonly used if youвҖҷre missing one or more teeth. They cover the space where the teeth are missing and are cemented to natural teeth or implants surrounding the space.
Benefits
In addition to strengthening a damaged tooth, bridges and crowns can be used to improve a toothвҖҷs appearance, shape, alignment and dental occlusion (bite).
Care
While crowns and bridges can last a lifetime, they do sometimes come loose or fall out. The most important step you can take to ensure the longevity of your crown is to practice good oral hygiene. Keep your gums and teeth healthy by brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and flossing daily. See your dentist or hygienist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.
To prevent damage to your new crown or bridge, avoid chewing hard foods, ice or other hard objects.
Procedure
A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for normal oral function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. Other materials include gold and metal alloys, acrylic and ceramic. These alloys are generally stronger than porcelain and may be recommended for back teeth. Porcelain fused to metal is often used because it is both a strong material and attractive in its appearance.
A bridge is mounted onto a space where teeth are missing and is attached onto a tooth or implant. These teeth, called abutments, serve as anchors for the bridge. A replacement tooth, called a pontic, is attached to the crowns that cover the abutment. As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges. Your dentist can help you decide which is best for you, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost.

Have A Great Weekend Ahead From Us At 75 Harley Street
After wisdom tooth removal, the best diet will include liquids and soft foods because they require no chewing. Avoid firm foods. Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge. They typically appear in people between the ages of 15 and 25 years old.
... Wisdom teeth often only partially emerge from the gums or emerge at crooked angles. When this happens, they are considered impacted teeth.
A wisdom tooth becoming impacted can lead to decay, infection, and inflammation of the surrounding soft tissue. The medical term for this inflammation is pericoronitis.
Here, we list the best foods to eat following a wisdom tooth removal. We also look at foods to avoid and other recovery tips.
Foods to eat
A person recovering from a wisdom tooth removal should consume liquids and soft foods. Some of these include:
- milkshakes - pureed seedless fruit - smoothies - soups - broths - applesauce - avocado - ice cream - jelly - mashed banana вҖ” frozen mashed banana is an ice cream alternative - mashed beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, or butter beans - mashed sweet or regular potatoes - pureed or mashed vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, or broccoli - scrambled eggs - soft cheeses - yogurt - Avoid eating lots of store-bought products, such as milkshakes with high amounts of added sugar.
Milkshakes are easy to make at home by adding pureed seedless fruit to milk. The fruit will contribute necessary vitamins and minerals to the diet. These are especially important in the early stages of recovery.
If a blender is accessible, homemade smoothies can contain a variety of fruit and vegetables. These should provide fiber and nutrients needed for recovery. However, avoid fruits with small seeds.
Soups can be full of flavor and contribute fiber, vitamins, and minerals to the diet. Broths are typically lighter and will have less nutritional value.
While ice cream is cold and soothing, it is very high in sugar and calories. Yogurt is a more healthful alternative, and a person may wish to add fruit puree.
Mashing vegetables removes the need for chewing. The texture and substance may be welcome after a diet of liquid foods.
Quick tips:
- Avoid eating sugary foods, and favor those that are healthful. - Stock ingredients at home ahead of time. - Only use seedless fruit. - Green smoothies and soups will increase vegetable and fiber intake.
