Oral Medicine is the area of Dentistry that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the soft (gums and mucous membranes) and hard (teeth and bones) tissues of the oral cavity.

Dentistry is the area of Dentistry dedicated to the treatment of dental injuries, whether due to trauma or caries. In any of the situations the Dentistry allows the teeth to recover their aesthetic, anatomical and functional functions.

Immediate treatment of caries is extremely important, since the vast majority of dental injuries caused by caries progressively destroying the tooth structure to the point of total tooth loss. So how much The sooner the intervention is performed, the smaller the injury and consequent tooth fragility and the easier and smaller will have to be your restoration.

Endodontics is the area of dental medicine that aims to preservation of the tooth through prevention, diagnosis, treatment and control of pulp alterations and of the periradicular tissues.

An endodontic treatment, commonly known as "devitalization", is a conservative treatment, performed when the pulp (nerve and other tissues that are inside the tooth) is inflamed or lacking vitality or enter necrosis. The pulp space is cleaned, prepared and filled by a Biocompatible material to promote the sealing of dental canals and prevent the entry of bacteria. At the end of the treatment, the tooth is usually restored with a provisional material until progress is made with the definitive rehabilitation: direct or indirect restoration (overlay or crown), depending on the extent of the cavity. The latter should be performed as soon as possible after endodontic treatment, so that there is no contamination and/or fracture of the tooth, allowing it to last longer.

Periodontics or Periodontology is the science that studies and treats diseases of the teeth implantation and support system. This apparatus is formed by alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and cementum. The changes pathologies of the periodontium are called periodontal diseases. (eg bacterial plaque, gingivitis, periodontitis).

Gingivitis or gum inflation is the initial form of periodontal disease and is very common. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a much more serious condition called periodontitis, than bone inflammation/infection). This infection, caused by bacteria, can lead to the destruction of the bone and ligament that holds the tooth in the jaws and, if untreated, results in the mobility of the teeth or even their loss.
Currently, these two diseases are one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults. The main cause of these diseases is plaque and tartar or "stone" and some of the symptoms are:

• Bleeding spontaneously or on brushing your gums
• red gums
• increased gum volume
• presence of pus in the gums
• disinserted ("detached") gum
• gingival recession ("withered gums")
• cold sensitive teeth
• bad breath and/or bad taste in the mouth
• teeth chattering and separating

How to avoid/prevent?

Carry out good daily oral hygiene and, every 6 months, clean and/or scale.

Orthodontics is the area of dental medicine that involves the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems caused by teeth that do not articulate harmoniously, due to the bad position of the same and the jaws.
The beginning of the treatment takes place through a study that involves the cephalometric analysis of the radiograph profile, analysis of mouth models, analysis of photographs and clinical history. It is only from this study that it will be possible to know which type of device to use, which can be necessary to apply removable, fixed, biomechanical and/or invisible appliances.

A good dental alignment allows a correct relationship between the arches, obtaining a better dental, facial, occlusal and functional aesthetic balance.

This area of ​​intervention improves dental occlusion, promoting a better distribution of forces exerted on the teeth, protecting them from possible trauma.

We offer solutions that range from the conventional appliance with brackets and wire, to the Invisalign braces, a transparent and removable treatment solution, the latest technique and innovative in the field of orthodontics.

There is no age limit to consult the Orthodontist. However, in order to get more the intended result, this consultation could ideally be done in childhood or pre-adolescence, since it is at this stage that the greatest peaks of bone growth occur.

The total or partial absence of teeth has a very significant impact on quality of life, compromising function and aesthetics, which has serious consequences for our physical and emotional health.
Implantology is the therapeutic option that allows an oral rehabilitation that is closest to dentition. natural in physiological, aesthetic and comfort terms.

Implantology allows the placement of ceramic teeth, being used in three different cases:

• Single implant
• Bridge over Implants
• Total prosthesis over implants

The implants work like artificial roots, made of titanium, which when placed in the bone of one of the jaws, support the ceramic crowns. In the end, it becomes practically impossible to distinguish the tooth placed on the implant from a normal tooth. It will allow the patient a definitive and complete solution to the problem of missing teeth, restoring the function, comfort and aesthetics of a natural tooth.

Thanks to advances in technology, it is currently possible to extract teeth, place implants and place the prosthesis on the same day.

Genesis Dental Clinics has a team of technicians specialized in this type of treatment.

Pediatric Dentistry is the area of Dental Medicine that deals with children, from the first year of life to adolescence.
This specialty allows the child to have the first contact with the dentist, where the oral health status, controlled tooth eruption and performed preventive treatments in case of are necessary, such as:

• Topical fluoride applications - remineralizes the enamel preventing the progression of initial caries and makes the teeth stronger
• Cleft Sealants - are like a varnish that makes the surface of the tooth smooth and free of places where bacteria normally start cavities

The objective of the preventive measures is to avoid the appearance of caries, because the future of the teeth of children depends on the control of caries and bacterial flora.

The sooner the child is seen by the Pediatric Dentist, the sooner it will create a link with the professional, early demystifying the "boogeyman" that is the dentist.

Pediatric Dentistry consultations are still important to teach not only children but also caregivers, about the correct brushing of teeth, the use of fluoride and dental floss, in order to ensure the maintenance of good oral health.

We defend the policy that the most important thing in the first consultation is the emotional link between the health professional and the child in such a way that trust is nurtured between them (through games, games or even "contests" and fantasy stories). Only when this relationship is established success is that conditions are met to proceed with the treatment.
