Prevention

Dr. Tosun Dental Clinic provides preventive treatments for all family members. What this means is we aim to provide treatments that reduce the risk of dental disease. Along with dental screening we offer dietary and oral hygiene advice and believe that fluoride application should be an integral part of your maintenance programme. Maddie, our dental hygienist, offers preventive programmes for all ages, as well as tailored packages for teeth whitening. Testing

Dental hygiene is about taking care of your teeth and mouth through daily teeth brushing and flossing as well as good nutrition and hydration. Regular trips to the dental hygienist ensures long term health of your teeth and gums and gives you the tools to develop excellent habits. Bleeding gums are the first sign of gum disease, so seeing a hygienist regularly gives you the peace of mind that any issues can be spotted and addressed early on.

You will have a comprehensive assessment of your gums as well as a thorough cleaning. The hygienist will discuss with you any of the findings made and with your consent can refer you for any further treatment required.

It’s a gentle way to ease yourself into good habits which you need to maintain healthy teeth for life. We consider your dental hygiene appointments to be as important as your dental examination and screening.

No.  Gums bleed when they are irritated and inflamed which is not normal.  Inflammation is your body’s response to plaque (a soft film of bacteria) being left on the teeth.  Gum inflammation is called gingivitis and if not addressed can develop into gum disease. Over time, if not cleaned off through daily brushing and cleaning in between the teeth, the plaque can turn into a hard deposit called tartar or calculus which will require professional scaling by your hygienist to remove it.

If your gums bleed it is important to carry on brushing and to keep the mouth clean otherwise the bacteria will continue to grow will make gum inflammation worse. After a few days of thorough cleaning, your gums should stop bleeding. If your gums are bleeding you need to ask the advice of your dental team, who diagnose and treat the problem but most importantly, will show you how to look after your teeth and gums to prevent further problems.

Smoking  can cover up a gum problem as it restricts the blood flow to the mouth. If you have recently given up smoking this could allow the gums to get a better circulation

Fluoride helps to strengthen and protect teeth, which can help reduce tooth decay in adults and children.

All children up to three years old should use a smear of toothpaste with a fluoride level of no less than 1000ppm (parts per million). After three years old they should use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste that contains 1350ppm to 1500ppm.

Some children’s toothpastes only have about half the fluoride that adult toothpastes have. They only give limited protection for the teeth. If your children are under 7 you should keep an eye on them when they brush their teeth and encourage them not to swallow the toothpaste.

It is recommended that children should go to the dentist with their parents as soon as possible. You should then take them regularly, as often as your dental team recommend. This will let them get used to the noises, smells and surroundings and prepare them for future visits. The earlier these visits start, the more relaxed the children will be.

Tests have shown that power toothbrushes are more effective at removing plaque. Everyone can use a power brush. They are particularly useful for people with limited movement of the arm or hand, such as disabled or elderly people, who often find that using a normal toothbrush does not allow them to clean thoroughly.

You can try using a toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth. Rub a little toothpaste into the sensitive area when going to bed as it helps protect the surface.

Try to avoid strongly acidic foods and drinks and wait at least an hour after eating before brushing as this could cause even more sensitivity. Grinding your teeth can also increase sensitivity and a mouth guard maybe necessary.

If the pain continues, speak to your dental team and they may be able to offer further care to reduce your symptoms. Several things can cause sensitivity and your dental team will be able to identify these and advise the correct care

Bad breath is a very common problem and there are many different causes. Persistent bad breath is usually caused by the smelly gases released by the bacteria that coat your teeth, gums and tongue. Also, bits of food that get caught between the teeth and on the tongue, will rot and can sometimes cause an unpleasant smell. Strong foods like garlic, coffee and onions can add to the problem. So, it is very important to brush your teeth correctly and regularly. This will help keep your breath smelling fresh.

The bacteria on our teeth and gums (called ‘plaque’) also cause gum disease and tooth decay. One of the warning signs of gum disease is that you always have bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth.

The dental team will be able to see and treat the problem during your regular check-ups. The earlier the problems are found, the more effective the treatment will be.

Bad breath can also be caused by some medical problems.

Dry mouth‘ (xerostomia) is a condition that means your mouth produces less saliva. This causes bacteria to build up in your mouth and this leads to bad breath. Dry mouth may be caused by some medicines, by salivary gland problems or by continually breathing through your mouth instead of your nose. Older people may produce less saliva, causing further problems.

If you suffer from dry mouth, the dental team may be able to recommend or prescribe an artificial saliva product. Or they may be able to suggest other ways of dealing with the problem.

If your dentist finds that your mouth is healthy, you may be referred to your family GP to find out the cause of your bad breath.

PERIODONTAL DISEASE
(GUM DISEASE)

Often painless gum disease can remain symptom-less or you may notice bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, swollen gums and sensitive teeth. Thousands of bacteria live in our mouths. Most are harmless, but some release toxins which cause damage to the supporting structures of our teeth.

Following a comprehensive dental examination our dentist and hygienist will work together to provide treatment plan such as full mouth detox or specific periodontal therapy. Gum disease is highly complex and progressive and if left untreated can lead to tooth loss.

Fillings are commonly used to treat cavities (tooth decay), but they are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth, or teeth that have been worn down over time.

In our dental clinic in Dubai, we use high quality composite filling materials with a wide range of tooth colours allowing near-invisible restorations.

  • They look more aesthetically pleasing since they match your natural tooth colour and appearance.
  • They require less drilling (preparation) so not as much tooth structure needs to be removed.
  • They set in seconds instead of days like other materials.
  • They bond to the tooth giving it greater strength, which helps prevent breaks and supports your natural tooth
  • They can be repaired if damaged.

While I was in Dubai for a business trip, I had to visit Dr Tosun dental clinic with the advice of a friend when I started to suffer from an unexpected toothache. I couldn’t stand the pain and Dr Dilsad helped me right away by organizing her appointments at the clinic where I went to my appointment hours ago. I entered the Clinic while crying and Thanks to her, I came out laughing in 2 hours and spent my remaining days in Dubai without any problems. I can’t thank Dr.Dilsad and all Dr. Tosun Team enough for their sincere interest.

They said that general anesthesia should be done in both clinics we went to for my daughter’s teeth. We heard that Dr Dilşad is very good with children and we wanted to try .We had no hope, but dr Dilşad did all the fillings without even normal anesthesia. My daughter goes to the dentist for fun. Thank you very much. .

I had a wonderful experience with Tosun Clinic. First of all, whenever I go, the clinic is always clean and their staff is so professional and kind.

I had my check-up with Dr. Dilsad and she was very professional, explained me everything in details also by showing from the camera and in my next visits, she did a great job with my fillings. She was very patient, careful and kind throughout all the process.

I also took my daughter to her and she is so good with kids. My daughter was so scared in the beginning and she convinced her for a filling by explaining her all the details kindly, patiently and professionaly. I highly recommend Dr. Dilsad and Dr. Tosun Dental Clinic.

Gum bleeding can be scary. I never had any dental issue before and last week when I had bleeding from my gums. Booked an appointment with Dr Tosun clinic. He was very kind to see me on such a short notice. The clinic is located on road only very easy to find. The staff is very friendly. The Dental Hygienist, Ms Madalyne Tucker, is indeed passionate about educating patients on the importance of maintaining good oral health. I learnt how my brushing technique was wrong and learnt how to do it properly. Then I met Dr Maysoon, who gave me detailed status about my oral health. They have state of the art equipment, devices and experience of more than 50 years combined together. What I really liked about Dr Tosun Dental Clinic is they not only treat the patient but also educate them so that they themselves can take care of their oral health.

Clearly Dr. Tosun Dental Clinic believes in “Prevention is Better Than Cure”. I am very happy with their service and highly recommend it to everyone.

Dr. Yahya Tosun and his team are very professional, experienced and understand the patient psychology well. I had a 10-month long Invisalign treatment and at every step of the way, Dr. Tosun has put the extra mile to achieve the perfect result even if that meant longer treatment plan at no extra cost. He’s approachable and warm, listens to patient’s concerns with all the patience and a smile 🙂

I highly recommend Doctor Tosun clinic, I am a very detail-oriented person and I am so happy and satisfied with the treatment I have received. My whole journey at Doctor Tosun clinic was perfect. From hygiene, to the friendly staff and to the highly professional doctors. Doctor Yahya Tosun is an extremely professional orthodontist, he has such a wide experience and his advice on the change required for my orthodontic treatment was instrumental. He is so attentive and goes the extra mile for his patient. He has such a positive attitude while working, very observant and very particular about the patient’s treatment plan, which makes the visit very comfortable and efficient. Doctor Maysoon Abdelmajeed is just fantastic! Her detail-oriented approach, her recommendation, her explanation to the patient on treatment required is so valuable. I am absolutely beyond satisfied on the changes and the esthetic work that she’s done to give me the perfect smile. The Nurses, Brian Aquino, Susan Derona and Michelle Maggay are highly experienced, very professional and supportive had such a huge impact during my treatment journey. The receptionists, Cholo Papio and Christine Solito are WONDERFUL. They have a very friendly and positive approach and they’re always on top of their game in managing appointments, responding to queries urgently and supporting on any customer request. I highly recommend Doctor Tosun clinic, I am a very detail-oriented person and I am so happy and satisfied with the treatment

Dear Dr Tosun,

I set out below a draft text of the testimonial:

Dr Tosun started my orthodontic treatment about 2.5 years ago. Complications arose when i had an infection and needed to have a tooth removed. At this point Dr Tosun worked with Dr Hani and they decided to carry out an innovative treatment in order to grow more bone before removing the tooth,  doing a bone graft an eventually an implant. They worked together effectively, were very flexible and supportive throughout.

The practice is very modern and well equipped to the highest standard and the team efficient and very helpful.

I have been extremely happy with everything and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them

Dear Dr. Yahya,

I dedicate this testimonial to you and your team at Dr. Tosun Dental Clinic!

When you introduced your collaborator, Mrs. Madalyne Tucker, who works as a Dental Hygienist in your clinics, a couple of weeks back in our chapter, I decided to ask for an appointment.

Today Maddie spent one hour with me where she first explained in details the importance of dental hygiene to then clean my teeth and me tips. I felt very fresh (mouthwise) when I left your clinic. Maddie has a very pleasant personality, explains well and worked carefully.

Overall, I really felt welcomed starting by Jessie the receptionist who had sent me the location upfront via WhatsApp to the friendly coffee boy, and even you took some minutes to say hi to myself and my husband!

Furthermore, I enjoyed the clean and modern atmosphere, the nice colours and paintings, and the latest state of the art technology you are utilizing.

I will definitely recommend Dr. Tosun Dental Clinic to anyone who wants to be his teeth taken care of in a professional manner.

My husband is already in.

I want to wish you best of continued success to you and your team of dental experts, and in particular to Maddie!

Dr. Eva Mueller

Both our children went to Dr. Tosun for their braces. Excellent orthodontist!! They have beautiful smiles because of him😊 Because of the package Dr. Tosun offered we did not have pay extra when my son had some issues with his braces. Dr. Tosun always took the time to explain things to us, but was always ON TIME with his appointments. We can highly recommend his clinic!!

David Hodgson

Having been referred to Dr Tosun by my wife, I have been receiving Orthodontic treatment for the past 11 months. The service and expertise provided has been excellent.

On the rare occasion I needed a quick appointment and Dr Tosun is always on hand to give in person help or help via email. I would highly recommend anyone with Orthodontic needs to feel confident when dealing with Yahya Tosun.

David Hodgson

Natalie Hodgson

I decided to get braces after my brother had them done in the UK and I was unable to tell he even had them on for a few days. I looked around at several dentists until I came across Dr Tosun. He seemed to know exactly what he was talking about and gave me some good advice. He advised that it was likely to take 2 years for the treatment and it ended up only taking 21 months in the end.

Dr Tosun is very professional and friendly and if there was ever any problem (on holiday and had a question) he would always respond very efficiently by e-mail with some advice. If I needed to go in to get something checked I was almost always able to go that same day and be fitted in between other appointments, I am very happy with the outcome of my orthodontic work and regularly get comments about my good teeth, thank you Dr Tosun.

Natalie Hodgson

Kathryn Cantwell

We have been going to Dr Tosun and his clinic since inception and have only kind words to say. Excellent care before, during and after.

Kathryn Cantwell

Louise Brown

You will always feel welcomed at Dr Tosun’s clinic. The staff are kind and professional and Dr Tosun did a great job with my daughter’s braces. He took lots of time and care to ensure that the end result was a positive one. I think he genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his patients and was always happy to explain things to us and make himself available if the braces ever needed adjustments or repair in between scheduled appointments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Tosun’s clinic to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Louise Brown

Jennifer Atkinson

As a patient of Dr. Tosun for 4 years, I would highly recommend him and his team to serve all your dental needs. He is the most patient, professional, and caring orthodontist. Dr. Tosun makes visiting the dentist a pleasure.

Debbie Hewitt

This testimonial is to say how happy I was with level of customer service I received during our visit to Dr. Tosun, Dental Clinic.

My 4-year old son needed to see a dentist and Dr Yahya suggested we book an appointment with Dr Maysoon.

Dr Maysoun was very kind, understanding and friendly with my son. My son particularly loved the screen on the ceiling where he was able to select a cartoon from the Internet and watch it during his treatment.

The result was one very relaxed and happy little boy. So much so that yesterday he asked me when he would be going back to the dentist again.

As a parent, it makes me very happy to know my 4-year old is having such a positive experience at the dentist.

I was also very impressed with the friendly feel about the clinic, it’s beautiful interior and overall cleanliness.

I would recommend Dr. Tosun Dental Clinic to anyone, particularly parents who may be concerned about their children being anxious when visiting the dentist.
