Angry Ankylosis can devastate your mouth in the City of Leeds

Thursday, August 29th, 2013

398467_blogTeeth can be a real bane throughout your life in the city of Leeds, but just how good your teeth are in adult life depends solely on how well they have developed when you were a young child, and especially when the milk teeth depart and the second ones come through. If all goes well, it should be a natural transition from one tooth to the other. If though something doesn’t go smoothly, maybe from tooth decay or an infection, the first teeth will impede the second teeth from coming through. The adult teeth may grow in all directions, maybe become impacted too and this is where the teeth suffer from ankylosis. It can cause infection to the other teeth around it and you may have to have some form of treatment to rectify it- later on if the damage has been bad, you may require some orthodontic treatment or surgery to correct the problem. It isn’t the prettiest of conditions to suffer from, especially being an innocent child during all of this. It is vital that a dentist monitors this period in a child’s life in order that the condition can be dealt with as soon as it happens.

Overcoming Ankylosis In The City Of Leeds

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

The body is a wonderful machine in the city of Leeds, a body that has the ability to repair itself when thing go wrong and this is especially true of how it adjusts to change during growth. This can also be said of the way our teeth adapt, especially when the secondary ones come through. However, on occasions, things go wrong and our system fails us and even the tiniest default can lead to major problems further down the line. When secondary teeth come through, the baby teeth should by that time be long gone and the roots should have dissolved, but in some cases, the roots can fuse to the jawbone causing ankylosis, and this can upset the growth of the new teeth. The new teeth can become suffocated by these roots and this can stunt growth as well as making it crooked. It will normally only happen to the odd tooth, but this can also affect the growth of surrounding teeth and cause infection. The growth of secondary teeth is important so it’s essential that they are allowed freedom to grow unhindered and if a tooth is suffering from ankylosis, there may well be little option but to have if removed for the sake of the health of others.
