Image	Photo Description
	Norvasc side effects include swollen gums, bleeding gums, gingivitis and other symptoms of periodontal disease. Calcium channel blockers are known to cause pseudo pockets because they cause gingival hyperplasia. The periodontal charting suggests a need for active gum therapy except that the patient maintains excellent oral hygiene and she is taking Norvasc. The Periodontist found this patient to be stable and not to need further treatment. She was placed on a hygiene recall every three months and Periodontist exam once a year.
	Medication in dentistry. This before and after photo shows the effect of using Calcium Channel blockers with inadequate periodontal maintenance - the gums and teeth weren't clean before starting the medicine. Calcium Channel blockers are commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina pectoris and coronary artery disease.

Information about these dental photos In medicine and dentistry "left" and "right" are based upon the orientation of the patient's body and not how they appear in a photograph of a smile. For example, a reference to the upper left teeth will actually appear to be on the right side when viewing a picture of the face and similarly an upper right tooth will appear to be on the left side. Many words in dentistry like oral and mouth have a similar meaning and are frequently used together to help our readers find specific words they best understand. This is particularly important because a majority of our visitors are from countries where English is not their primary language. Maxilla or maxillary refer to the upper jaw. Mandible or mandibular refer to the lower jaw. There are many other similar word combinations used throughout this website because our pages are read by patients and dentists. A few of the most common are discussed here. Tooth decay, tooth cavity and dental caries all mean the same thing. Tooth, teeth and dental are also frequently interchanged as in teeth veneers or dental veneer laminate. Oral rehabilitation and dental reconstruction mean smile makeover. The word for x-ray may be used with or without a hyphen (this is true for other words too) and can also be called a radiograph.
