AT THE DENTIST'S
Every citizen of Ukraine undergoes regularly dental inspection and treatment in district stomatological polyclinics. There are three main departments in such polyclinics: a department of therapy, oral surgery and orthodontics and prosthetic dentistry department. Some laboratories and X - ray rooms are also attached to every dental polyclinic. District polyclinics also have dental emergency rooms working at night for the patients with severe toothache.
If you have some trouble with your tooth or a bad toothache you should consult a dentist. He will examine your oral cavity carefully and if the aching tooth is not far gone he will stop it. If the dentist reveals any cavity in the tooth he'll clean and drill it and then put in a filling or fill the cavity. In case the tooth is too bad to be treated or neglected, the dentist will have to extract it. Before extracting a tooth he will apply some anaesthetic or give an injection to deaden the pain. And after the extraction the dentist may administer you some anti-inflammatory drugs.
If you have some inflammation or an abscess in your mouth, if the teeth become loose and gums bleed, you should consult an experienced specialist. He will diagnose your case and prescribe you a proper treatment. If an operation must be performed in the mouth cavity, a qualified oral surgeon will operate on you. If you need dentures, bridges, or crowns you must consult an orthodontist and he’ll make a design of it. A dental mechanic will manufacture the necessary appliance according to the given design. Orthodontists can straighten teeth which are crooked. They put braces (wires) on the teeth to do this. Many children need to have this work done.
People should visit a dentist, no less than twice a year for early diagnoses and treatment of any disease. Finally, "prevention is better than cure". Proper oral hygiene and good eating habits (a limited consumption of sweets) will protect you from many dental diseases.
