GUMMY SMILE -DON'T BOTHER,WE CAN FIX IT !

                                       Have you ever wondered if your full smile could show only your beautiful teeth and not the gums?  Have you tried to hide your smile because of the gums being very prominent on smiling??? If this is exactly what is bothering you, we have a solution to fix your ‘Gummy Smile’.

                                                         


                                         Gummy smile is characterised by excessive display of gums on smiling. A normal smile comprises of 2/3rd to 3/4th of the teeth being displayed and the rest covered by the lips over it. However, the presence of more than 2-3mm of gum display as a continuous band on speech or normal smiling is a characteristic of gummy smile and may cause unaesthetic ap-pearances. The presence of gummy smile is more predominant in females as compared to males. It is also carried over generations and has a hereditary inclination.

 Causes of gummy smile:

                                    1.    Short/ small teeth

                                    2.   Strong upper lip muscles

                                    3.    Increased vertical growth of face

                                    4.   Crooked teeth

                                    5.    Short upper lip

                            In all the above mentioned situations, there is an excessive display of gums o the upper teeth which leads to an extremely unpleasant appearance which may have a social and psychological impact on a person. The good news is that it can be treated and brought to normal.


TREATMENT; ‘Lip Repositioning Surgery’


                                Lip Repositioning surgery is a cosmetic surgery in which the lip is attached at a level closer to the teeth so that the gums display is reduced on smiling. After considering you medi-cally fit for the procedure, your dentist would schedule an appropriate appointment for the same. A local anaesthesia would be applied on the gums after which your doctor would cut off the excess gum display and stitch back the inside of the gums close to the teeth. The entire procedure would take 30-40 minutes. You will be able to see the results instantly, however pre-cautions need to be taken not to stretch the muscles too much which may cause the stitches to loosen or break. Soft and bland diet would be preferred for 2-3 days after the procedure. After a week, your doctor would call you back for an evaluation and to remove off the stitches.The repositioning of lips to treat gummy smile is a safe and a predictable outcome to treat gummy smile. This has been the gold standard treatment for gummy smile . It is a fairly simple cosmetic procedure which can contribute to a whole lot of difference in the appearance of a person. The overall personality and confi-dence of a person is seen to be boosted by a beautiful smile.

Dental implant as a treatment option in this COVID era

                    Dentistry is worst affected considering the prevalence  of aerosols associated with most dental procedures. The  dental clinics in India and many countries around the  world have closed and only emergency and urgent cares are  being delivered at dedicated centers. So now the query rises, Should we deny right dental  treatment if due care is taken while rendering it?  Is implant  treatment going to be a distant dream for practitioners and  the rightful recipients? Dental implant therapy is similar to any other dental  procedure and can be effectively done as it: • Has a high success and survival rate • Is performed as an outpatient procedure • Is still manageable in the clinics for most complications • Will only see a reasonable raise in cost of the procedures  as compared to raise in other dental procedures. The following aspects are encouraging for the delivery  of appropriate dental implant solutions: i. No reports of transmission of COVID‑19 from dental  sett
