Tooth pain can be unbearable. 🦷 Extraction of teeth in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) can be difficult BUT possible. Planning a tooth extraction requires gathering of information and records. NOW compare what information we really need at a Dental Office. When patients come to a dental office with toothache, in this situation - the third molar (wisdom tooth), The first step is a thorough assessment. One key tool we use is the Panorex X-ray, which provides a comprehensive view of the mouth and helps us identify the specific tooth causing the problem. We also take a periapical X-ray, which offers a closer look at the tooth’s root structure. This is crucial for planning the extraction, especially if the root is curved. Knowing the root’s shape helps us anticipate and avoid potential complications, like the root breaking during the procedure. If a Geriatric Patient in a SNF has tooth pain, don't wait. A Dentist or a Dental Hygienist in Alternative Dental Practice (RDHAP) can assess the condition of a patient. Take records; Medical History and Xray like a Bitewings and Periapical and treatment plan for pain relief of symptoms. Comfort and dental health are top priorities! 😊 #Dentistry #RDHAP #Teledentistry

Endodontist, CEO & CBO of FlowPatterns & Endodontic SuperSystems | Endodontist & Professional Service Entrepreneur | Transforming the Blueprint for Endodontic Practices Everywhere
As a professional in the endodontics industry, I strive to prevent cases like Tara's from happening. As this article illustrates, dental pain and tooth disease can have physical and psychological impacts on patients, including chronic pain, inflammation, difficulty eating, and loneliness. For patients to seek treatment, it must be accessible, and patients must be well-informed on when to consult a dentist or an endodontist. However, between the years 2022 and 2023, one in five adults delayed their visit or didn't follow through with it due to factors like cost. Spreading information and increasing access is essential for the wellbeing of endodontics and dental patients today. If you are experiencing dull, lasting pain, consult a professional today. #DentalPain #ToothPain #dentist #endodontist #ExecutiveTechnology #FlowPatterns

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities, is a condition that happens when certain types of bacteria in the mouth produce acid that attacks the hard outer layer of your teeth, known as enamel. This acid can create small holes or openings in the enamel, which are called cavities. If these cavities are not treated, they can grow larger and deeper, eventually causing pain, infection, and even damage to the inner layers of the tooth. Keeping your teeth clean by brushing them regularly and eating healthy foods can help prevent dental caries. Visiting the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings is also important because dentists can identify cavities early and help you take care of your teeth to keep them healthy and strong.

The mouth is teeming with hundreds of types of bacteria that normally do no harm. However, in older adults and those with underlying health issues, bacteria from the mouth can potentially travel down into the lungs, increasing the risk of respiratory infections like pneumonia. Therefore, brushing and flossing daily, along with routine cleanings and examinations from a dentist, are critical safeguards against this risk.
