Dental Clinic in Evrenseki — Manavgat, Antalya

When saliva falls, the mouth's capacity to repair itself falls with it.

What saliva actually does

Saliva's first job is buffering acid: after eating, bacterial acid lowers the pH and saliva neutralises it, halting enamel dissolution. Its second is supplying minerals, as the calcium and phosphate it carries return mineral lost during an acid attack. It also clears food debris, carries antibacterial components and lubricates soft tissue. When flow falls, all of these weaken at once, which is why decay in dry mouth often appears at the gum line and on root surfaces.

What dries the mouth in hot weather

• Fluid lost through sweating not being replaced
• Long periods in air-conditioned rooms
• Mouth breathing from congestion or habit
• Heavy consumption of coffee, tea and energy drinks
• Alcohol and alcohol-containing mouthwashes
• Some medicines, such as blood pressure, allergy and antidepressant drugs

How you drink matters as much as what you drink

Finishing an acidic drink in ten minutes and spreading it over two hours are two different situations for the teeth. Each sip starts a new acid attack and saliva needs time to restore the pH, so frequent sips keep the mouth almost permanently acidic. In heat, when you drink often, this is an easy trap. The answer is not less fluid but keeping sweet and acidic drinks to mealtimes and drinking only water in between. Brushing immediately after an acidic drink is also unwise: the enamel is temporarily softened, so rinse with water and wait about half an hour.

For spreading facial swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or toothache with fever, go to the nearest emergency department.

Where several teeth are extracted, waiting for healing takes months. An immediate denture maintains appearance, speech and chewing through that period.

It is prepared before the extraction

Impressions are taken while the teeth are still in place and the denture made in advance at the laboratory. It is fitted at the same visit as the extractions, so the patient is never without teeth. There is an added benefit: the denture acts like a dressing over the extraction sites, reducing bleeding and supporting the tissues.

The rules of the first days

In this period the denture needs frequent adjustment:

• It is not removed for the first 24 hours — swelling can make refitting hard
• You attend the next day for review and pressure points are relieved
• Soft food in the first week, chewing slowly on both sides
• If there is pain or a sore, removing it and calling the clinic

Why relining is needed more than once

Bone and gum change rapidly after extractions, losing volume over the first six months. A denture that fitted well at the start therefore loosens. This is not a fault in its construction but a natural consequence of healing. Relining is usually done at three and six months, and the definitive denture planned once the tissues have settled.
