Why Dental Care Should be Your Priority ?

 The Dental Care should be your Priority for the following 3 simple reasons

Healthy Mouth=Healthy Body: As we all know that the mouth is the gateway to our body, maintaining a Healthy mouth is good for our entire body. Dental Hygiene and care is linked to a lot of health conditions. Poor Dental Hygiene and care can prove fatal to the functioning of many essential organs in the body such as Heart, Kidney, Pancreas, Ear, etc., So it is essential to maintain Good Dental Health.

Improves Self-confidence: Good dental hygiene and care boost your self-confidence and Happiness.

Responsible Adult: When it comes to dental care, it is of great concern especially if you are a parent. Children are more susceptible to dental problems as they consume a lot of junk foods and chocolates. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to inculcate Good Dental Hygiene Habits and Proper Dental care regimen in your lifestyle, your children will follow suit.

3 simple steps to practice every day to maintain good dental hygiene and care:

1. Brush your teeth twice a day

2. Rinse your mouth after every meal

3. Visit your Dentist every Six Months.

Apart from the normal process of baby tooth loss, the various other causes of missing teeth are:

• Dental decay – Leave a decay untreated for long enough and it will destroy the tooth.
• Gum/periodontal disease – The leading cause of tooth loss in adults
• Trauma – Incisors are particularly at risk, eg with contact sports
• Congenitally missing teeth/Other Medical conditions – Sometimes certain teeth do not form or either isolated or in connection with medical problems…

What problems can result from tooth loss, the main being the Appearance and your Confidence ? Why should you get any gaps ‘filled’?

The various consequences of not replacing them can be:

• ·          Difficulty in chewing:The jaws may not come in contact(“bite” together properly), thus affecting the function of chewing. This might lead to Pain in the facial muscles/jaws due to an improper bite which can also lead to headaches.
•           Difficulty with speech
•           The facial muscles may ‘sag’ and gaps in the teeth might appear unsightly
•          Tilting of adjacent teeth into the space created by the missing ones – can make things harder to clean thereby resulting in decay
•         Supra-eruption(ie a top tooth drifts down as there is no support below to stop it)which leads to eventual loss of that particular tooth. It is often compared to the brickwall , where if one tooth is removed, it will eventually end up losing all the adjacent teeth.
•      Food getting lodged and plaque accumulation in the gaps leading to more decay and gum disease.

  As a result of this,“your confidence and appearance might take a backseat”.

SELECTING A GOOD TOOTH BRUSH

Majority of us, buy toothbrush based on the number of advertisements shown per day.

It is totally wrong of selecting a good toothbrush from the market, depending on the advertisement rather than the criteria/morphology of the toothbrush that an individual needs.

PS Dental centre guides you selecting a good toothbrush and also Gifts a Good toothbrush to every patient visiting the clinic.

Before understanding, which type of brush suits you, we just recap the things a good toothbrush should have as per the ADA specifications.

·         Length – 1 to 1.25 inches.

·         Width – 5/16 to 3/8 inches.

·         Surface area – 2.54 to 3.2 cm.

·         No of rows – 2 to 4 rows.

·         No of tufts – 5 to 12 per row.

·         No of bristles – 80 to 85 per tuft.

·         Diameter – Soft brush – 0.007 inch(0.2 mm)

Medium brush – 0.012 inch(0.3mm)

Hard brush – 0.014 inch(0.4 mm)

Any toothbrush with a simple design following ADA specifications, that provides access to all areas of the mouth should be the suitable one, provided the patient uses proper brushing technique. But,  selecting a good toothbrush specifically for an individual arises when he/she doesnot know the Proper brushing technique, which is more important. The best Clinic in Chennai, PS Dental centre has the best doctors to teach you the correct and best Brushing technique suitable for you.

Bristles:

Although there are hard toothbrush(bristles) available in the market, it is usually recommended to use soft toothbrush(bristles) mainly because of two reasons:-

·         People using hard bristles with improper brushing technique will tend to remove the surface enamel layer of the tooth, abrading the surface.

·         Hard toothbrush(bristles) can damage the gingiva and pull it down towards the root, which leads to the sensitivity of the teeth while drinking cold liquids, even water.

These soft toothbrush(bristles) are easy on the teeth and can reach deeper areas pretty easily. But everything  still depends on how you brush your teeth.

Brush Head:

A Good toothbrush should not be too large or small. A toothbrush should be good enough to reach all the areas in the mouth or cover 1 – 2 teeth  at time.

Handle:

Handle of the toothbrush should be firm, providing a good grip to the hand. The flexible handles of the toothbrush can compensate for the forces exerted by the hand during brushing and excessive pressure on the tooth surface is avoided.We at PS Dental centre, guides you to select the good toothbrush suitable for you.

Replace Brush:

Change brush every 3 months or as soon as the bristles Frey, whichever is earlier.

The worn-out bristles not only less effective but can damage gums.

The toothbrush needs to be replaced with a new one, even when there is an infection detected in the mouth or patient with cold, flu etc., as the toothbrush contacting the toothpaste tube, can lead to spread the bacteria involved in the infection.

keep you toothbrush away from your toilet.

Other factors include:

If toothbrush bristles got worn within a few weeks , then there might be a problem in the brushing technique and also your teeth may arranged in crisscross manner. You need to identify or treat that or visit PS Dental centre for advice or to properly align the malaligned tooth.

If you are still unsure of which toothbrush to use, ask PS Dental centre for advice, because sometimes the oral hygiene instructions vary depending on the condition of the teeth and gums of the patient.

Prosthodontics

A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement.

A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:

• To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
• To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
• To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left
• To hold a dental bridge in place
• To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
• To cover a dental implant

A bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining permanently to adjacent teeth. A bridge is fabricated by reducing the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

• Bridges restore your smile
• They restore your ability to properly chew and speak
• Maintain the shape of your face
• Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
• Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.

Few Type of Crowns

• Temporary crowns
• Stainless steel crowns
• Metal crowns
• Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns
• All ceramic or all porcelain crowns
• Zirconia
• Porcelain-fused-to-Gold crowns

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment is used to repair and save badly decayed teeth. Spontaneous pain when biting, heightened sensitivity to hot and cold foods and severe tooth decay are signs that a root canal treatment may be necessary.  Endodontic therapy or root canal therapy is a sequence of treatment for the infected pulp of a tooth which results in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.  The procedure of Root Canal or endodontictreatment includes removal of the infected or damaged pulp from the diseased tooth. After that the hollow pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, filled and sealed. This set of procedures is commonly referred to as a root canal.

The most common causes of pulp damage or death are:

• A cracked tooth
• A deep cavity
• An injury to a tooth, such as a severe knock to the tooth, either recent or in the past.

Once the pulp is infected or dead, if left untreated, pus can build up at the root tip in the jawbone, forming an abscess. An abscess can destroy the bone surrounding the tooth and cause pain

How Long Will the Restored Tooth Last?
Your treated and restored tooth/teeth can last a lifetime with proper care. Because tooth decay can still occur in treated teeth, good oral hygiene and regular dental exams are necessary to prevent further problems.

As there is no longer a pulp keeping the tooth alive, root-treated teeth can become brittle and are more prone to fracture. This is an important consideration when deciding whether to crown or fill a tooth after root canal treatment.

 Benefits of Root Canal treament are:

• It prevents the loss of the tooth, and makes it so the tooth does not need to be pulled
• It eliminates the pain caused by the infection, tooth damage, or sensitivity
• It prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth or gums
