A healed lesion after a root canal treatment typically refers to the resolution of the infection or inflammation that existed around the root of the tooth prior to treatment. After the procedure, the tissues around the root should begin to heal and regenerate. This process can take several months, and the healing is usually confirmed through follow-up X-rays. Signs of a healed lesion after root canal treatment include: 1. Absence of Symptoms: Pain, swelling, and sensitivity should subside once the infection is cleared. 2. Improved X-ray Findings: X-rays will show a reduction or complete resolution of any dark areas (lesions) around the root, indicating the infection has healed. 3. Healthy Gums: The gums around the treated tooth should look healthy and free of swelling or abscesses. Regular check-ups with your dentist are important to monitor the healing process. #clovedental #healthysmileseveryday

😱Missing teeth can be harmful to your health, this is why: 1. Gum diseases - missing teeth gives an opening for bacteria to enter your gum leading to infection, inflammation and gum diseases. 2. Jaw bone loss - Missing teeth leads to an unused jaw bone causing it to be weak and shrink. This will negatively affect the shape of the entire jaw. 3. Shifting teeth - The rest of the teeth left will shift in order to fill in the space left by the missing tooth, this gives you a crooked smile/look. 4. Difficulty in chewing - since the teeth are responsible of breaking down food in the mouth while chewing. 5. Difficulty in speaking - missing teeth causes one to pronounce some words wrongly leading to lack of eloquence.

🩺 Are you experiencing urinary incontinence or know someone who is facing the issue? Understanding the basics of diagnostic tests is crucial for effective management. Here are the mandatory and fundamental tests to consider: 1️⃣ Urinalysis: Analyzes urine to detect signs of infection, blood, or other abnormalities. 2️⃣ Bladder diary: Tracks fluid intake, urination frequency, and episodes of incontinence over a specified period. 3️⃣ Post-void residual (PVR) measurement: Assesses the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination, helping diagnose incomplete bladder emptying. 4️⃣ Urodynamic testing: Evaluates bladder and urinary sphincter function to pinpoint the underlying causes of urinary incontinence. 5️⃣ Cystoscopy: Involves examining the bladder and urethra using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera to detect abnormalities. Don't delay seeking a professional evaluation if you're experiencing urinary incontinence. These diagnostic tests are crucial in determining the most suitable treatment approach. Your urinary health matters, so empower yourself with knowledge and take proactive steps towards comprehensive care. 🌟🩺 #worldofurology #urologyhealthmatters #UTI #utis #roboticsurgery #healthcare #urologyawarenessmonth #kidneytransplant #healthcaretips #doctor
