Centralized procurement of dental implants will be implemented as early as March. Do you have a good set of teeth?

Science Fiction Network reported on January 12 (Xu Mingyang) According to CCTV.com, on January 11, the centralized volume procurement of oral implant systems was opened in Sichuan, and the proposed winning results were produced. The average winning price was more than 900 yuan, an average reduction of 55%. It is expected that by the end of March to mid-April 2023, the results of the comprehensive management of dental implant costs will be implemented, and patients will fully enjoy the dental implant services after the price reduction.

Common dental problems include caries, toothache, tooth sensitivity, periodontal disease, loose teeth, etc. Problems with teeth not only affect the appearance, but also affect the health of other organs of the body, such as the heart, brain, stomach, etc.

Dental implants are not real teeth. They consist of two parts: the root (implant) and the crown. Usually, artificial materials are used to make the root, which is implanted into the upper and lower jaws of the patient through surgery. After a healing period, the crown is made on the artificial root. It is said that as early as the 6th century BC, the Mayans used shells to replace missing teeth.

According to the doctor, the artificial root part of dental implants is usually made of pure titanium or titanium alloy, most of which are pure titanium and a few are titanium alloy. The connecting part between the root and the crown is basically made of titanium alloy because pure titanium is too soft. There are three common crown materials: metal, porcelain and all-ceramic. Not everyone is suitable for dental implants. People who intend to have dental implants can go to the hospital and communicate with the doctor in detail before making a decision.

In daily life, we should pay attention to protecting our teeth. First of all, we should learn the correct way to brush our teeth. We should brush our teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. In addition, we can keep our teeth clean by using dental floss and washing teeth regularly. We should eat less cold, hot, sour or sweet food to avoid irritating our teeth. If we feel that there is something wrong with our teeth, we should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the less damage to the teeth.
