误区1:牙齿只要没有什么异常的感觉,就表示牙齿很健康,不用定期去医院进行相关检查。
每年1-2次常规牙科检查、洁牙,以及每3-5年的X光检查,可以发现可能存在的牙齿隐匿龋坏、牙龈及牙周等问题,并做到早治疗。等到感觉牙齿遇冷热刺激时敏感疼痛、刷牙出血等状况出现,牙齿牙龈的问题可能已经比较严重,甚至需要进行去 除牙神经、牙周系统治疗等相对复杂的治疗了。
误区2:牙齿出现了小洞,但是既不疼痛也不影响美观,所以可以等疼痛出现了再去补。
牙齿出现小洞一定要及时治疗。如果任由这个牙洞继续腐败下去,等小龋洞长大,严重到影响牙神经,引起疼痛的程度,此时治疗疗程长,治疗后还需要牙冠保护。
误区3:牙龈出血每个人都会有,有的甚至天天都会有,很正常,不需要大惊小怪去专门检查和治疗。
健康的牙龈在刷牙、进食时是不出血的。如果出现这种问题,就是牙龈发炎了。这是因为牙齿周围堆积了大量的菌斑软垢和牙石。菌斑由大量的微生物组成,这些微生物的代谢产物刺激牙龈产生炎症。健康牙龈表现为粉红色,质地坚韧,即使刷牙时用了较大的力量也不会引起出血。因此必需通过定期洗牙去除菌斑、牙石,保持牙龈的健康状态。如果早期的牙龈炎不及时治疗,常会引发牙周炎,此时单纯洁治已经不能解决全部问题,需要用特殊器械来清除附着在牙根表面的牙结石。若任其蔓延,危害牙齿的同时也侵害到全身。仅牙龈出血就可导致冠心病、糖尿病、不育症、败血症、肾炎、肺炎等18种全身疾病。
误区4:一颗两颗牙齿出现松动或者脱落,只要不影响基本使用,就不用急着修补。
牙齿虽然是身体最硬的器官,但有时一个巧劲,比如摔倒、冲撞,甚至吃饭时被鸡骨头硌到,都可能使牙齿劈开,松动或者脱落。另外,慢性牙龈炎、牙周炎使牙龈的营养供应不上,牙齿自动脱落,应该及时治疗。如果缺牙时间过长,可能导致相邻的牙齿倾斜或对颌的牙齿伸长。而缺牙过多造成的咀嚼效率下降也会降低生活质量。一般在牙齿脱落后三个月左右可以考虑修复治疗。植牙、固定桥、某些情况下的活动义齿都是可以选择的修复方法。人工植牙因其不影响相邻牙齿,长期效果好而更受专业牙医推崇。
误区5:我的牙齿很白很健康,而且坚持每天刷牙,所以不需要去洗牙。
牙齿很白很健康并不意味着“牙周组织的健康”。牙周洁治俗称“洗牙”,主要是去除牙面及牙齿周围的牙石、菌斑、软垢及色素。牙石、菌斑、软垢及色素的堆积会引起牙周组织的炎症。最常见的症状是牙龈红肿,刷牙出血,甚至口腔异味。一般建议,牙周健康且口腔卫生习惯良好的人可每6个月进行一次专业的牙齿洁治;牙周状况不佳、个人口腔卫生习惯差的人可每3个月进行一次专业的牙齿洁治。
误区6:洗牙容易把牙齿表面的牙釉质磨损,对牙齿健康不好。
牙齿表面的牙釉质是人体中最坚硬的组织,洗牙时使用的超声洁治器是通过超声震动接触牙石将其去除,并且功率是可以根据患者牙石的多少及质地调节的,而且超声洁治器工作时有冷水进行冷却,对牙釉质没有明显影响。定期洗牙是预防牙龈炎症及牙周炎的最有利的措施。
误区7:洗了很多次牙,总是没有意想之中的洁白,肯定是没有洗干净。
这是老百姓对“洗牙”认识上的一个误区。洗牙的目的是去除牙面和牙齿周围的牙石、软垢、菌斑及外源性色素,不是漂白牙齿。单纯洗牙是无法改变牙齿本身的颜色,使之洁白的。
误区8:已经过了青春期,牙齿形状已经长成,如果不整齐美观,做牙齿矫正也无济于事。
即使是40岁的人也可以通过矫治获得一口整齐美观的牙齿。现代正畸理论认为牙齿矫正没有年龄限制。成人正畸可能需要稍长的正畸周期,而且正畸完成后保持的时间也需要更长的时间。

What Makes An Attractive Smile?
The saying, ”beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, is very true in the realm of cosmetics; additionally, beauty is in the mind of the owner. Beyond the technical aspects of dentistry, in cosmetics the psychology and opinions of the patient and the people in their lives who influence those opinions are equal, if not more important factors.
Following is a checklist of the more important factors used to define what makes the “look” of a smile attractive.
Horizontal plane of occlusion is perpendicular to the long axis of the face. Most patients have some facial asymmetry that should be taken into account when determining the long axis of the face. The best way to make an assessment of the horizontal plane is with the patient standing straight with the dentist positioned directly in front of them.
The slight curve of the upper teeth follows the curve of the lower lip when smiling. Edges of the teeth are relatively higher as the eye moves distally.
There is a proportion and dominance to anterior teeth. The maxillary central incisor is usually 10.5-11mm from gingival to incisal edge.
Bilateral symmetry exists. Perfect symmetry is actually undesirable as it looks unreal. The relative display of the contralateral tooth tends to mirror the other including incisal edge. The gingival architecture is as important as tooth structure.
A more youthful smile displays more teeth, both vertically and horizontally. It is not uncommon to have close to 100% display of maxillary anterior in a full smile, especially in young women.
