Choosing the Right Toothpaste

As a dentist, one of the most frequently asked questions I hear is: "Doctor, which toothpaste should I use?"

Choosing the Right Toothbrush

As a dentist, I answer dozens of questions about oral health every day. One of the most frequently asked and fundamental questions I encounter is: “Which toothbrush is the best?” There’s no single correct answer to this question because the best toothbrush depends on the individual’s oral structure, gum health, manual dexterity, and personal habits. Still, it's possible to offer general guidance based on key criteria for choosing an ideal toothbrush.

Who Needs Periodontal Treatment?

As a periodontology specialist, I always emphasize that oral and dental health is not limited to the teeth alone; the supporting tissues around the teeth are equally important. Structures such as the gums (gingiva), alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum are vital for keeping teeth healthy and stable in the mouth. Infection or damage to these tissues is called “periodontal disease,” and if left untreated, it can lead to serious outcomes such as tooth loss. So, to whom should periodontal therapy be applied, and who is at risk?

In this article, based on my clinical experience, I would like to comprehensively explain the causes, diagnostic process, treatment options, and key considerations I take into account when managing patients with eyelid drooping.

In this article, I aim to explain—both from a clinical perspective and based on patients’ experiences—what keratoconus is, how it progresses, how it is diagnosed, and what treatment options are available.

Tear Duct Obstruction: Causes, Treatment Options, and Current Approaches

As an ophthalmologist, one of the most common problems I encounter in my daily practice is tear duct obstruction. The tear ducts are part of the nasolacrimal system, which allows tears produced in the eye to drain into the nasal cavity. When these ducts become blocked, tears cannot drain properly, and patients often present with constant watering, discharge, and sometimes eye infections. This condition can occur both in children and adults; however, it most frequently appears as congenital tear duct obstruction in infants.
