Michigan splints and NTI-splints

Compressing and crunching are often the reason for head and neck pains, pressure-sensitive masticatory muscles, split-offs on teeth and fillings and pain on the healthy teeth. The act of compressing happens mostly during the night and is therefore hard to control.

The NTI-splints (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) cover the front teeth and is being worn during the night. This way, the impact of a strong masticatory force is prevented.

The Michigan splints are also being worn during the night. They cover the whole chewing surface and are used as protection from tooth fractures due to crunching. The are also used for patients with a disease of the masticatory muscles and a disease of the jaw joint.

Laughing gas

The use of laughing gas is recommended when treating children and patients with fear of dental treatment.

A mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide is usually used for the sedation with laughing gas. It acts analgesic, relaxing, calming and anxiolytic. The effects set in rather quickly but wear off just as quick, as soon as inhalation is being stopped.

Speak to your dentist, if you wish to use laughing gas during your dental treatment.

Anesthesia

At our practice, we perform an outpatient general anesthesia in cooperation with a team of well-experienced anesthetists. Treatment under general anesthesia is recommended for children who have to undergo major dental treatment and anxious and disabled patients.

In our many years of experience, we have learned that treatment under general anesthesia has proven to be a completely stress-free way for patients. It even makes it possible to perform a complete dental restoration in only one session.

Mouthpieces used for sports

Protection offering mouthpieces are used in sports, where the front teeth are exposed to strong hits such as squash, ice hockey, kick boxing and rugby.

The custom-made mouthpieces are tightly fitted and comfortable.

Teeth decorations

Sanded rhinestones can be glued to the teeth with the use of a special glueing technique. There is no damage to the enamel and the rhinestones can be easily removed at any time.
