✦ Our Clinic

Varlik is one of Muratpasa's residential neighbourhoods.

This page covers something very common but poorly understood: mouth ulcers. Most are harmless and heal within two weeks, but some do not, and knowing the difference matters.

One common mistake: placing aspirin or another tablet on the ulcer. It does not heal it — it causes a chemical burn on the tissue it touches.

Right and Wrong With Mouth Ulcers

The cause and duration matter more than the ulcer itself.

What not to do

Placing aspirin or a tablet on it, which causes a chemical burn
Applying lemon, salt or cologne
Poking it with tongue or finger
Eating spicy, acidic or very hot food
Brushing the area with a hard brush
Continuing to wait after two weeks

If it recurs in the same place

The commonest cause of recurrence is mechanical: a broken tooth edge, a worn filling, a rubbing denture or brace wire irritating the same spot. Treating the ulcer does not help — removing the source does.

Diet and general health

Where ulcers are frequent and multiple, iron, B12 and folate deficiency should be investigated. Sodium lauryl sulphate in some toothpastes increases frequency in sensitive people, and stress and poor sleep are known triggers.

Getting Here, Booking and Emergencies from Varlik

Route, booking and emergency arrangements for patients from Varlik.

Getting here from Varlik

Varlık lies in the Muratpaşa district of Antalya; Muratpaşa is one of the central districts, about 2 kilometres from the clinic. We also see patients from neighbouring areas that share the route from Varlik, such as Çaybaşı, Etiler, Güzeloluk, Kızıltoprak. You can ask for the location on WhatsApp when travelling from Varlik.

Appointments for Varlik

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

Emergencies from Varlik

Setting out from Varlık 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 Varlik, 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.

Orthodontic Mini-Screws: A Fixed Point of Support

Moving a tooth requires taking support from somewhere; in orthodontics that support is called anchorage. The problem is that the supporting tooth also moves, in the opposite direction.

The problem itself

To retract the front teeth, support is taken from the back teeth. By physics the back teeth also drift forward, and part of the space gained is lost that way. Conventional methods accept that loss and plan around it. In some cases, though, there is no space to lose.

What a mini-screw does

A small titanium screw placed in the jawbone provides a point of support that does not move. Because the force comes from bone rather than teeth, unwanted movement does not occur. What it makes possible:

Retracting the front teeth exactly as much as planned
Intruding an over-erupted tooth back into the bone
Bringing an impacted tooth in under control
Raising the front teeth in a gummy smile
Reducing the need for appliances that depend on patient cooperation

Placement and removal

Placement takes a few minutes under local anaesthesia and is far simpler than an extraction. The screw does not integrate with bone but holds mechanically — deliberately, so it can be removed easily once its job is done. Removal usually needs no anaesthetic and the small opening left closes on its own within weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions 17

Is it painful?

No pain is felt during placement under anaesthesia. There may be mild tenderness for a few days, for which a simple analgesic suffices. Most patients say they forget it is there after a while; it is far lighter than an extraction.

How long does it stay?

From a few months to about a year, depending on the need. It is removed once the movement is complete; there is no need to wait until the end of treatment. In some cases it serves one purpose for a few months and comes out early.

Can it loosen?

It can; the usual causes are low bone density, poor hygiene and inflammation of the surrounding tissue. If it loosens it is removed and placed at another site; it does not disrupt treatment. Keeping the area clean markedly reduces the risk.

Is it needed for every patient?

No. Where anchorage demands are low, conventional methods suffice. A mini-screw is used where no space can be lost, or where a movement is not achievable by conventional means. The decision rests on measurements and radiographs.

Can I put aspirin on an ulcer?

No. Aspirin and similar tablets cause a chemical burn on the mucosa they touch: the ulcer gets larger rather than healing, and you end up with two problems instead of one. Painkillers work by being swallowed. For the ulcer itself, salt-water rinses and avoiding irritating food are what help.

My ulcer has not healed in two weeks.

It should be assessed. A lesion that lasts more than two weeks, keeps growing, feels hardened, has raised edges or is painless behaves differently from a simple mouth ulcer. This does not necessarily mean anything serious, but it is exactly the kind of thing that should not be left to see what happens.

How do I reach the clinic from here?

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

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.

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.

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

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

How should I plan my appointment coming from Varlık?

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

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

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.

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

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

Which dental problems are most common in the Varlık 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.

Can I come at night from Varlık 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.

Does the information on this page apply across Muratpaşa?

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

A pimple-like bump appeared on the gum near my aching tooth and the pain eased. Am I getting better?

Unfortunately not. That bump is usually a sinus tract: pus from the root tip has found a way out, and the pain eased because the pressure dropped. The infection has gone quiet, not away, and it keeps affecting the surrounding bone. Most such cases need root canal treatment or retreatment, after which the tract usually closes. Do not try to pop it; have the tooth examined soon.
