Seizures

Seizures may also damage the temporomandibular joints or cause an individual to aspirate a tooth into the lungs. Unfortunately, the drugs used to control this disorder can also produce side effects in the mouth. One side effect often associated with AEDs is gingival hyperplasia, an overgrowth of gum tissue.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction to a trigger, such as an allergy. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include feeling faint, finding it hard to breathe, a fast heartbeat and feeling anxious. Anaphylaxis needs to be treated in hospital at soon as possible. Use an adrenaline injector if the person has one and call 999 for an ambulance.
Anaphylaxis is usually caused by an allergic reaction. Common triggers include foods, medicines and insect stings. You can help prevent anaphylaxis by avoiding any triggers you have and carrying your adrenaline injector at all times.

Cardiac arrest

Early recognition of the deteriorating patient may prevent cardiac arrest. Recognising warning symptoms and signs before cardiac arrest. Know the airway, breathing or circulation problems that can cause cardiac arrest. Certificate done.

Whiter smile

A quick dental tip fir a whiter immediately smile. Picking blue-based tones rather than orangey reds gives teeth an instant gleam. Why? It’s all to do with the colour wheel. Blue and yellow sit across from each other on the wheel, so blue tones tend to cancel out orange or yellow tones when put together, and vice versa. Lipsticks formulated with a blue base will help diminish any orange or yellow tones on your teeth. Best of luck ladies.

Caries

Globally, it is estimated that 2.3 billion people suffer from caries of permanent teeth and more than 530 million children suffer from caries of primary teeth. In most low- and middle-income countries, with increasing urbanization and changes in living conditions, the prevalence of oral diseases continues to increase.

Dental caries or cavities

Dental caries or cavities, more commonly known as tooth decay, are caused by a breakdown of the tooth enamel. This breakdown is the result of bacteria on teeth that breakdown foods and produce acid that destroys tooth enamel and results in tooth decay.

Inhalation sedation

Inhalation sedation is a light form of sedation. It is a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen breathed through a nosepiece. This helps the child to feel relaxed and accept treatment. Inhalation sedation is also known as ‘happy air’.

Which conditions are contraindications for inhalation sedation?

Other contraindications include sinusitis, recent ear surgery, severe psychiatric or personality disorders, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – in those patients the respiratory drive is initiated by low oxygen levels as opposed to high CO2 levels, providing constant high concentration of oxygen during sedation.

Abstract Dental caries

Abstract Dental caries is a transmissible bacterial disease process caused by acids from bacterial metabolism diffusing into enamel and dentine and dissolving the mineral. The caries process is a continuum resulting from many cycles of demineralization and remineralization.

How does epilepsy affect dental treatment?

Seizures may also damage the temporomandibular joints or cause an individual to aspirate a tooth into the lungs. Unfortunately, the drugs used to control this disorder can also produce side effects in the mouth. One side effect often associated with AEDs is gingival hyperplasia, an overgrowth of gum tissue.

Patients with epilepsy and the worst bad oral hygiene, periodontitis and gingivitis had an increased incidence of seizure. Seizure frequency was strongly correlated with bad oral hygiene (p = 0.010), gingivitis (p < 0.001) and periodontal disease (p < 0.001).
