How to make a treatment plan

For insurance treatment, the type of treatment and the materials used are determined. Orthodontics and implants are non-insurance treatments.

In addition, porcelain cannot be used for insurance treatment, and it becomes a resin. Porcelain is translucent and approaches the color of natural teeth. The resin has no clarity, gradually loses its luster, and moves away from natural tooth color.

Before choosing insurance treatment or non-insurance treatment, the most important consideration for my treatment plan is the patient's age.

For infants, it is important that milk teeth be replaced with permanent teeth. The appearance is secondary. For elementary and junior high school students, I use resin (white, insurance treatment) that reduces the amount of shaving as much as possible, even if the back teeth of permanent teeth become carious.

In the case of 20's, it is around the time they are worried about their appearance, so I think porcelain (self-care) is better than resin for front teeth.

When you are 40's, you become more susceptible to periodontal disease. If you are not confident in brushing your teeth after removing tartar, I recommend cleaning your teeth once a month. Ako citizens over the age of 40 can receive a free adult dental checkup once a year.

When we are 60 years old or older, we will have a treatment plan that will not be troubled when become a person requiring nursing care. At this age, dentures and filling materials are not necessarily non-insurance treatment materials, and insurance treatment resin may be desirable. The patient who recommended the extraction disliked it, and after that, he became a cerebral infarction, and was necessary to take the medicine. As we get older, we have more pre-existing illnesses. Let's solve your dental problems while you are a little healthy.
