What can cause tumors in the mouth?

Dr. Francisco Rábago is a specialist in oral surgery and has performed interventions in very complicated cases due to the diagnosis presented by the patient.
An odontoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic origin, that is, related to the development of teeth. It is composed of dental tissue that has grown irregularly. The average age of onset is usually 14 years, and our Rbg Clinic clinic sees these types of cases in young patients who are very limited not only by oral health, but also on a psychological level.

What do we use hyaluronic acid for?

Hyaluronic acid is a very useful resource in oral surgery because it is able to accelerate the healing process by reducing inflammation in the affected area. Having a faster healing after a surgical intervention reduces the risk of infection significantly. At Rbg Clinic we use it to reduce the wrinkles that form between the corners of the lips and the sides of the nose (nasogenian angles), perioral wrinkles (known as bar codes), wrinkles that form on both sides of the chin (marionette wrinkles) and to outline, increase volume and compensate for asymmetries.

Electric or manual toothbrushing?

Electric toothbrushes reduce plaque, which is responsible for the production of cavities and gingivitis, more. They are gentler on tooth enamel. These devices have a pressure control mechanism that prevents abrasion on the surface of the teeth, thus respecting tooth enamel.
There are state-of-the-art electric toothbrushes that emit an acoustic or vibrating signal that warns you that the 2 minutes required for proper brushing have passed. These devices are designed with a pressure control mechanism to avoid eroding the surface of the teeth. In addition, the electric toothbrush reduces the bacterial plaque responsible for causing cavities or gingivitis.

Whiter teeth?

Teeth whitening is a dental treatment that should always be performed and supervised by a professional. Dr. Tina Mendoza from Rbg Clinic assures that they are becoming more and more common in dental aesthetics. At Rbg Clinic we use a technique that is not harmful to teeth and is advisable for all types of patients, except for those who have old restorations, since this type of whitening does not cover crowns. It does not pose a danger to gums, soft tissues and teeth. It is not painful.

Placing two dental implants in a mandrill at the Jerez Zoo

Doctor Francisco Rábago, together with the veterinarians from the Zoobotánico de Jerez, have carried out the placement of two implants in the male mandrill to improve its teeth and make it easier for it to chew. The screw and the piece were placed in one area of the face and in the other an immediate load was carried out, which consists of doing the whole procedure in one go. In this way, they have avoided the primate having to undergo another operation.” Firstly, an examination was carried out, where all the anomalies found in the mandrill’s teeth could be verified. This exploration was done with a 3D scanner, an innovative and pioneering technique, with which a virtual library of mouth models of all the species at the Jerez Zoo was started. The collaborations between Francisco Rábago and the Jerez Zoo began more than ten years ago, and they have allowed, among other actions, the recovery of a hermit ibis specimen, which was fitted with a prosthesis on one leg, following the dental implant system. For Dr. Rábago, it is a real satisfaction to collaborate with this type of interventions given the passion he feels for animals.

What kind of diet should our children follow to avoid cavities?

www.rbgclinic.com
What type of diet should children follow to avoid tooth decay? To do this, it is very important to know the foods our children consume. We must know the type of carbohydrates our children consume in their diet (food and drinks), their consistency and the frequency of intake; because the frequent consumption of sugar intervenes in the development of tooth decay, by keeping the pH low, the levels of cariogenic bacteria increase and all this, accompanied by poor oral hygiene, leads to the appearance of caries lesions. Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots and celery. Also cheese, milk, natural yogurt: calcium, phosphates, vitamin D in cheese and other dairy products are important minerals for the health of your teeth. Keep in mind that less cariogenic foods contain unrefined carbohydrates, without added sugar. Their higher fiber content can help remove plaque, but they still have the potential to cause cavities without a good oral care routine.

When should we take our children to the dentist for the first time?

At what age should we take children to the dentist? This is one of the most frequently asked questions that our professionals encounter on a daily basis. At Rbg Clinic we like to work on prevention to ensure oral health from an early age. For this reason, Dr. San Martín advises us to take children to the dentist when they are babies, since, even if they do not have teeth, it is important to know that there may be other pathologies associated with the oral cavity, and to detect them early. The most common problems that child patients present are lesions caused by caries and malocclusion, a poor alignment of the teeth, which can lead to more serious pathologies if not treated in time.
