Tree Top Hospital Highlights Modern Solutions for Common Dental Problems

Tree Top Hospital has highlighted the range of specialised dental services available under one roof, urging the public not to postpone treatment until a dental problem becomes unbearable. In an advertorial published by the hospital, it noted that sharp tooth pain when drinking something cold, bleeding gums while brushing, and neglected missing or extracted teeth are common problems that people often ignore, along with changes in the natural alignment of teeth and problems caused by an uneven bite. The hospital observed that delaying a visit to the dentist until a toothache becomes unbearable has become a deeply ingrained habit, but that minor problems affecting the teeth and gums, if left untreated, eventually become far more difficult to resolve. It stressed that modern dental care is not merely a remedy for tooth pain but a broad field of service that maintains oral health as well as the beauty and perfection of the bite. When is dental surgery needed? According to the hospital, certain problems involving the teeth, mouth and facial area require special surgical care. These include wisdom teeth — third molars — that cause repeated pain, teeth deeply embedded in the jaw that cannot be removed through ordinary means, infections and abscesses inside the mouth, and problems arising from damage to the lower jaw and facial bones. For such cases, Tree Top Hospital offers the services of Senior Consultant Dr. Mohamed Salman Bashaa, a highly experienced specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dr. Salman carries out surgical removal of difficult-to-extract teeth, dental implant placement, bone grafting, and special reconstructive surgery for injuries to the face and lower jaw sustained in accidents. The impact of tooth alignment Many people believe that straightening teeth or getting braces is simply about making a smile more attractive, the hospital said, but the natural way teeth are aligned can affect chewing, speech and overall oral health. Dr. Asim Ghaus Bashaa, a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at the hospital, diagnoses such problems and provides specialised treatment for severely crowded teeth, wide gaps between teeth, and improper bites in which the upper and lower rows do not meet correctly when the mouth is closed. The hospital noted the treatment is not exclusive to children, and that adults who have long endured discomfort from a misaligned bite can also achieve a complete solution. Missing teeth 'not to be ignored' The hospital warned that the loss of a tooth is not merely a change in appearance, as it adversely affects proper chewing, speech, and the function and alignment of the remaining teeth, making prosthodontics — the replacement of missing teeth — extremely important. Dr. Shabeena Aisha Baigam Maqoopalum, a consultant prosthodontist at Tree Top Hospital, provides specialised treatments for replacing and restoring missing teeth, including the fitting of crowns, bridges and dentures. Recurring problems and preventive care Persistent tooth sensitivity, sharp tooth pain, bleeding gums, bad breath, broken teeth or discomfort while eating are important reasons to visit a dental doctor without delay, the hospital said. It highlighted the role of its experienced dental team in providing specialised care, including Dental Surgeon Dr. Naifa Afif, General Dentist Dr. Aaman Ullah Sideeqi and Senior Dentist Dr. Aaminath Reesha. According to the hospital, regular dental check-ups are a tremendous help in detecting problems before they cause pain and in taking preventive steps. It provides modern dental services ranging from protective measures and fillings to root canal treatment, treatment of gum diseases and tooth extractions, tailored to each patient's condition. For those unsure which treatment they need, the hospital said the best first step is to visit a general dentist, who will examine the mouth and dental health, identify existing problems and offer guidance. Where specialised care or additional investigation is required, patients can be referred to a specialist. The hospital added that every person's dental health needs differ — one person may require treatment for gum disease, while another may want their teeth straightened and their smile improved — and that its Department of Dental Medicine and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery offers everything from general dental care to the most advanced surgical treatments under one roof. "Toothache is not the only reason to see a dentist. What matters most is taking preventive steps before a small problem grows into something serious and turns into agonizing pain," the hospital said.
