Dental health is an important aspect of our lives. It should get as much attention as any other health practice. Many people are ignorant about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene, much to their dismay. They end up getting dental diseases, which presents some challenges to the comfort of their lives. In some other cases, dental defects may arise due to other factors other than neglect. The best way to deal with these is to have a system in place that helps to detect the conditions before they transpire. The system in place should also provide a remedy should the condition occur. This is the kind of system that we have at Nairobi Sterling Dental Clinic. We offer this through our dental consultation services.
Are you living with any tooth defects? You might have bleeding gums, painful teeth, swollen gums or inflamed gums. Do you feel sensitivity to changes in heat or pressure? Do your teeth hurt when you are chewing? Or maybe, you have an irregular bite, and your teeth do not fit well when you close your mouth? Do you have a misalignment of teeth and protruding teeth? You might also be having dental caries, cavities or tooth canals. For some people, it might be the need for tooth extraction or repair of cracked or broken teeth. You might also need fitting of dental crowns. Or maybe, you need a replacement for lost teeth through dentures or implants. In case you need any of these, then Nairobi Sterling Dental clinic is the place for you.
At our clinic, we deliver quality and affordable services to all without discrimination. Before any service is taken, we require our patients to have a dental consultation with our specialists. Patients might also consider seeking a dental consultation on their own accord. You should feel free to visit our specialists whenever you need to check on your dental health. At Nairobi sterling dental clinic, we have a well-endowed team of dental specialists. They comprise of dentists, endodontists, orthodontists, pediatric dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists and prosthodontists. These are highly trained and certified medical personnel, who have taken all the prerequisite training. They also have years of experience in their respective fields and are thus well-versed in the procedures and treatment techniques.
During the consultations, the specialists enquire from the client what their concern is. They listen as the patient narrates their problem, and engages them in the conversation. This is meant to extract as much helpful information from the patient as possible. The medics also enquire about the medical history of their client. This helps determine whether their previous medical conditions have a part to play in the clients’ current predicament. In addition to this, the specialist also performs a physical examination of the mouth and the ailing parts. He uses some medical instruments such as tweezers, mouth mirrors, dental probes and scalers to visualize the oral cavity.
Additionally, the doctor may take biopsy samples to be used as a specimen in further tests. This happens in instances where the doctor needs to conduct further tests to aid in discerning the condition. The biopsy is taken by extracting a small piece of skin from the affected area and using it as a specimen. The specialist may also send you for a dental X-ray, where more imaging is needed before making a diagnosis. Digital dental X-rays are used to provide more details on the condition through imaging. They provide an easier way for the doctor to know and see details that they couldn’t through normal examinations. Digital x-rays are fast, better and more efficient. They are also safe for use and comfortable for clients.
The consultation would not be over unless a diagnosis is made. The specialist analyses all the test results and imaging presented. They then come up with a medical conclusion about the diagnosis, based on the result and their years of knowledge and experience. He or she discusses these results with the patients. He explains in detail what each means and what it challenges it presents to the patient. Moreover, they also help the clients find the best treatment method for their particular condition.
