Ulus is one of Kepez's residential neighbourhoods.

This page covers a well-meant habit that causes harm: brushing hard. The common belief is that pressing harder cleans better.

The truth is the opposite. Plaque is a soft deposit needing no force, and no brush removes hardened calculus. Pressure adds nothing to cleaning — it only drives the gum back and notches the neck of the tooth.

Why Brushing Hard Causes Harm

The harm has two separate sites: the gum and the neck of the tooth.

What happens to the gum

The gum is a thin, delicate tissue. Repeated heavy pressure and a horizontal sawing motion abrade it mechanically and the margin slowly migrates down, exposing the root. This loss is irreversible — receded gum does not return on its own, though advanced cases can be covered with a graft.

What happens at the neck of the tooth

The enamel is thinnest near the gum, and hard brushing — especially with a horizontal motion — cuts a wedge-shaped notch there. The dentine beneath is exposed and marked sensitivity begins; deeper notches reduce the tooth's strength and need restoring.

Correct brushing

  • Use a soft brush, not medium or hard
  • Angle the brush at 45 degrees to the gum
  • Use small circular motions, not horizontal scrubbing
  • Take two minutes; duration matters more than pressure
  • Hold the brush like a pen, not in your fist
  • Replace the brush every three months or when splayed
  • An electric brush with a pressure sensor helps

Getting Here, Booking and Emergencies from Ulus

Route, booking and emergency arrangements for patients from Ulus.

Getting here from Ulus

Ulus lies in the Kepez district of Antalya; Kepez is one of the central districts, about 6 kilometres from the clinic. We also see patients from neighbouring areas that share the route from Ulus, such as Esentepe, Göksu, Karşıyaka, Kütükçü. You can ask for the location on WhatsApp when travelling from Ulus.

Appointments for Ulus

At this distance, splitting treatment into visits is no problem for patients from Ulus, and attending reviews is easy too. As with patients from Kepez generally, appointments for families from Ulus can be scheduled consecutively.

Emergencies from Ulus

Setting out from Ulus at night is quick; come without delay in an emergency, and calling as you leave means preparation is done in advance. For patients coming from Dental Clinic in Ulus, the clinic is open 24/7 and in an emergency the order is set by severity rather than arrival time. For spreading facial swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or toothache with fever, go to the nearest emergency department.

A Denture Fitted the Same Day as Extractions

Where several teeth are removed, patients do not want to be left without teeth. If the impression is taken beforehand and the denture prepared, it can be fitted at the same visit as the extractions.

An added benefit: it acts as a dressing

A denture fitted the same day does more than preserve appearance. Seated over the extraction sites it reduces bleeding, protects the clot and supports the tissues. It is therefore not removed for the first 24 hours — once swelling develops, refitting can be difficult. You attend the next day and pressure points are relieved.

Setting expectations correctly

This denture is temporary and should remain so. Bone and gum change markedly in the first six months after extractions, and one that fitted well at first loosens. That is a natural consequence of healing rather than a fault. Relining is usually done at three and six months. Once the tissues have settled, a definitive denture or an implant-supported solution follows.

The first week

What to expect and do in this period:

  • The denture is not removed for the first 24 hours
  • Review the next day, with pressure points relieved
  • Soft, warm food and slow chewing on both sides
  • Increased saliva and altered speech — both temporary
  • If a sore develops, removing it and calling the clinic

Frequently Asked Questions 17

01

How is the impression taken — with the teeth still there?

Yes, before the extractions; the teeth to be removed are taken off the model in the laboratory and the denture made. A perfect fit is therefore not expected at first placement; adjustments are made the next day and over following weeks. The process is planned that way from the start.
02

Will it be painful?

The extraction sites are already tender and the denture can add to that, but it should not be unbearable. Sharp pain focused at one point needs adjustment and is relieved quickly. Call rather than enduring it; continuously irritated tissue causes problems later.
03

When does the definitive one follow?

Usually after 6 to 12 months, once the tissue dimensions have stabilised. The temporary is kept serviceable with relining through that period. Moving too early means the definitive denture also loosens quickly and the investment is wasted.
04

I am considering implants — does this get in the way?

It is not an obstacle; on the contrary it makes the healing period comfortable. After implants are placed the denture is relieved so it does not press on them and can continue to be worn. Planning it all together from the outset keeps the process smooth.
05

My brush frays quickly — why?

This is almost always a sign of excessive pressure, and recession has probably begun. Try holding the brush like a pen — the grip alone reduces the force.
06

Does receded gum grow back?

Not on its own; a graft can cover the exposed root in suitable cases. The priority is removing the cause — technique, gum disease and any clenching.
07

How do I reach the clinic from here?

Our clinic is in Muratpasa and is reached from Ulus (Kepez) by city transport; call for directions or use the map on our contact page.
08

Can I come without an appointment?

In an emergency, yes — you are seen without an appointment for pain, swelling, bleeding, a broken tooth or trauma, and the order is set by how serious the problem is rather than by arrival time. For planned treatment, calling ahead means the dentist, the chair and the time your procedure needs are reserved for you, so you are not kept waiting.
09

Are you open at night and at weekends?

Yes. The clinic has no closing time: it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and that includes night hours, Saturdays and Sundays, and public holidays. There is no rota to check and no need to ask which day we are on duty. The telephone line is open at the same hours, so you can describe your situation before setting out.
10

I am looking for a dentist in Ulus — where should I come?

Our clinic is on Sair Adem Dede Street in Muratpasa and serves the Ulus area, open 24/7. Call ahead for planned treatment; walk in for an emergency.
11

How should I plan my appointment coming from Ulus?

Tell us how many procedures you need and how much time you have. For patients from Ulus we combine as much as possible into one visit.
12

Is there a dental clinic open evenings and weekends near Ulus?

Our clinic has no closing time — evenings, nights, weekends and public holidays included. If you work shifts you can set the appointment around your own schedule.
13

Can our family be treated on the same day from Ulus?

Yes. Tell us how many are coming and what each needs; appointments are scheduled consecutively so the household is seen in one visit.
14

Which dental problems are most common in the Ulus area?

The difference between areas is not the type of problem but when people come. Decay, gum disease and missing teeth are the commonest everywhere.
15

Can I come at night from Ulus in an emergency?

Yes, the clinic is open at night as well. Calling as you set out helps in two ways: you receive first-aid guidance on the telephone, and the radiograph and surgery are made ready while you travel, so you are not kept waiting when you arrive. Do not wait until morning if there is swelling spreading across the face, difficulty swallowing or a fever — those signs need to be seen straight away.
16

Does the information on this page apply across Kepez?

The clinical information is the same everywhere; only travel and scheduling differ. You can find your own area's page in our area guide.
17

Is fluoride varnish safe for children and how often is it applied?

Fluoride varnish is painted onto the teeth in a very small amount and is considered safe when applied by a dentist. It strengthens enamel and helps slow early decay. It is usually repeated around twice a year, more often for higher-risk children. You may be asked to avoid hard brushing and very hot food for a few hours afterwards.
