Heal
While You Wait ©
In my view
this philosophy is the ulktimate in patient care. This concept
though my own, can be backed up with scientific studies is 'Remineralize
while you wait for your treatment to be completed.'
This treatment
us most suitable for patients who are nervous or have not been
able to attend for whatever reason for a long time and have many
broken down teeth and possible active degeneration in progress.
'Heal whileyouwait' helps to 'stop te rot' so to speak and helps
to begin the repair and remineralize process, so this may stop
your teeth getting worse. This enables the patients' confidence
to build up and establishes a good relationship with the dentist
to enable restoration of the damges teeth. This 'Heal while you
wait' is painless - no injections, no drilling and quick - only
in th elate and advanced cases, use of drills and laser may be
required (hopefully with minimum discomfort)
'Remineralization
while you wait' is achieved by the use of Ozone technology, a
regime of medication i.e. toothpaste, mouthrinse and mouth spray
used religiously twice/thrice daily for 3-4 months.
The Ozone
irradiates harmful bacteria and decontaminates, demineralized
area to prevent further destruction of the tooth. The follow up
medication aids the remineralization by replenishing lost minerals
and repairing some of the damage. his enables the tooth to become
more resistant to further breakdown.
