\u00a0<\/p>

What should I bring to the first appointment?<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

We recommend you bring all the documentation you already have: endoral X-rays, panorex, tele X-rays, CATs, MRI scans and medical reports of previous specialized appointments.<\/span><\/p>

\"rx\u00a0\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What is medical history?<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

Your medical history form is fundamental to have an overall view of your health conditions.
<\/span>You will have to fill it out upon your arrival.
It has to be updated periodically which means that, in case of relevant variations regarding your health conditions, you will be asked to make the necessary changes.
It is important to inform us on your medications, allergies, pathologies, pregnancy and degree of anxiety.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What is the informed consent?<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>

Through this form, the patient declares to be aware of the entity of the intervention, which he\/she will face and gives his\/her consent to the dentist in order to proceed. <\/span><\/p>

It is not an act of faith, rather a statement that you agree on and understand what we will perform in your mouth.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What are endoral X-rays (BITE WINGS)?<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

The endoral X-rays of our dental clinic are in digital form.
<\/span>Because of their extremely low level of radiations, they enable us to see on the screen all the main details to express a diagnosis. They also represent an essential tool in case of orthodontic urgency.
They enable us to visualize in detail the anatomy of 3-4 teeth in their constitutive parts (crown, root, gum tissues).<\/p>

Post-surgical intervention indications<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

Any surgical intervention in the oral cavity produces a series of reactions, which should be monitored for a rapid recovery. <\/span><\/p>

Normal reactions can be: a moderate swelling of the tissues near the intervention site, slight heat increases and the appearance of hematomas the days after the operation. <\/span><\/p>

In order to reduce these symptoms, here are some suggestions to follow: <\/span><\/p>

Pre-surgical indications:
<\/span>– start taking the prescribed antibiotic on the night before the intervention<\/p>

Post-surgical indications:
<\/span>– take antibiotics for at least 5 days every 12 hours
– take painkillers according to indications given by the specialist
– put ice for at least 2 hours on the day of the intervention
– use mouthwash containing 0,2% of chlorhexidine for 2-3 times a day and rinse gently
– do not take acetylsalicycilic acid (aspirin)
– if the intervention was done on the upper arch, blow your nose gently for a week and sneeze with\u00a0\u00a0 your mouth open
– in case of bleed, apply humid gauzes
– remove the periodontal pack after 3 days
– sleep with one or two pillows in order to keep the head up and lay on the non- operated\u00a0 side<\/p>

\u00a0<\/span>Other post-surgical indications on the life style:
<\/span><\/span>– moderate physical efforts and avoid practicing sports for a few days
<\/span>– chew on the opposite side of the intervention
– eat soft and lukewarm food
– do not use a toothbrush and\/or a gum cleaner in the area of the intervention

Orthodontics for my child, when to start?<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

The right moment to take your child to the pediatric dentist<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>and to the orthodontist is once all baby teeth have erupted.
<\/span>This is usually around the age of 2-3.
During the very first appointment, the dentist evaluates the health conditions of the mouth, checks if all baby teeth are out and healthy and if occlusion, meaning the closure between arches, is correct.
He\/she then explains to the parents the fundamental principles for a correct oral hygiene and prevention methods.
At this time, there is also a check up on possible bad habits, such as the use of pacifier and thumb sucking, which can alterate the optimal development of the mouth<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Our sterilization procedure of environments and medical instruments\u00a0in order to guarantee the control of infections, the Vignato dental Clinic constantly carries out a sterilization of all medical instruments used and work environments. Moreover, the non-contaminated disposable material is regularly separated into specific containers.<\/span><\/p>
