Lost a tooth??? Getting all tensed??? Well don’t be as you can get your tooth replaced through one of the many ways listed below…

1)           Removable partial dentures…

This denture can replace one or many missing teeth and is removable.  It does not need any tooth preparation and also it’s the most economic option. Similarly a full denture can replace all the missing teeth.

2)           Bridges…

This is an option when there is teeth present on either side of the missing tooth. A bridge is a fixed solution and it remains cemented in the mouth. This method involves preparation of adjacent teeth that is cutting and trimming of tooth.

3)           Implants…

Implants are the greatest way to replace a missing tooth. It almost replicates natural tooth while smiling, eating or brushing. In this method there is no need to alter any adjacent teeth and the actual root of the missing tooth is replaced by implant into the bone and healed for few months then the abutment is placed onto which the crown is cemented.

 4)           Temporary dentures…

This is used only for a short period of time when the missing tooth is about to be restored with a bridge or implant in the future but the site is yet to be healed. There is no alteration of the surrounding teeth and it’s almost like a removable partial denture.

Teeth whitening, or any process that will make your teeth appear whiter, is one of the most popular aesthetic dental treatments. Is it likely for people to experience sensitive teeth after such a treatment? Here are some myths and facts about this popular process.

Myth

It will make your teeth very sensitive.

Fact

Teeth-whitening solutions in teeth-whitening kits sometimes do make teeth more sensitive, but it’s not a permanent side effect. The bleaching solution may cause mild irritation to your gums as well. That's also temporary.

Myth

You should use stronger teeth whitening agents if you want to reduce treatment time.

Fact

Teeth bleaching products contain peroxide, which at higher concentrations can cause sensitive teeth. Not only that, but because individual teeth respond to bleaching at different rates, there’s no guarantee your teeth will get whiter faster.

Myth

At home and OTC teeth whitening products are risk-free.

Fact

With at-home and OTC teeth whitening products, you run the risk of selecting or using an inferior product, incorrectly applying it, or overusing it. Overusing a teeth whitening product or using an inferior product with low pH can result in enamel damage (one of the causes of sensitive teeth).

Myth

Because it's temporary, there's no need to treat your sensitive teeth while whitening.

Fact

Toothpaste containing potassium nitrate, a "nerve calming" ingredient, should be used before, during, and after teeth bleaching to help..

Many of us are very health conscious these days and think twice about the food we eat. But we probably don’t think as much of what food does to our teeth. For this you will visit your dentist with the fear that he/she will restrict you from having your favourite food. But you probably also didn’t know that many of your favourite foods are very good for your teeth and oral health.

Green tea- Green tea contains catechins that kill bacteria.

Celery- Celery is crunchy and mainly consists of water. Chewing on celery stimulates salivary flow cleansing gums and teeth.

Cheese- Cheese is rich in phosphorous and calcium which help maintain the pH balance in the mouth.

Water- Swishing water in the mouth helps to wash away food debris and stimulate saliva to keep your mouth hydrated.

Shiitake mushrooms -  Shiitake mushrooms contains lentanin which is a naturally occurring sugar and prevent formation of plaque.

Foods rich in vitamin C- Vitamin C helps in the formation of collagen which helps in repairs of gums and surrounding tissues.

Vitamin K – Vitamin K acts as a shield as it helps block the substances that break down the bone. It also helps your body to produce osteocalcin, a protein that supports bone strength.

Vitamin A- Vitamin A keeps mucous membrane healthy. It prevents dry mouth and also helps your mouth heal quickly. Foods that contain Vit A are pumpkins, carrots, and sweet potato, etc

Calcium –Calcium is well known for being useful to teeth. Calcium hardens enamel and strengthen your jawbone

 I bet you love drinking soda! You could sip on it all day long if you could! But what if I told you that drinking soda too much is the root cause of your dental issues?

Soda or soft drinks contain a form of high fructose corn syrup which equates to approximately 10 tsps of sugar per Oz can. This sugar attacks the good bacteria and weakens our teeth leading to tooth decay.

Harmful contents in soft drinks

• Carbonic acid – Is a by product of adding carbon dioxide to water to produce the bubbles which is harmful for enamel.
• Phosphoric Acid – Prevents moulds and bacteria from growing and gives soda its tangy flavour.
• Citric Acid- Added to lemon-lime and other fruit flavoured soft drinks for tartness.

All these acids in sodas erode the enamel, reduce the hardness of tooth surface and causes hypersensitivity.

After erosion, dentin becomes susceptible to cavities.

Here is a list of drinks with sugar and choices that can be made to replace them

1. Fresh lime Soda can be replaced with fresh lime water.
2. Sugared smoothies can be replaced with fresh fruit smoothies.
3. Fruit punch and juice can be replaced with diluted fresh fruit juices.
4. Tea / coffee with sugar can be replaced with tea / coffee without sugar.

Given below are a few tips you can also follow to avoid cavities

1. Don’t sip your drink- Sipping drinks gives bacteria more time to stay in your mouth and multiply.
2. Rinse your mouth with water after every meal to wash away foul bacteria.
3. Fluoride – fluoride helps to protect teeth from cavities and bad bacteria. Always try using a fluoridated toothpaste.
4. Brushing – brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to avoid tartar formation.

Research shows that diet soda isn’t any better than the usual soda and does equal damage to teeth.

7 REASONS HOW STRESS IMPACTS ORAL HEALTH

Stress is a common cause of health problems and little did you know that oral health is no exception. In today’s busy world, stress is inevitable!

Stress contributes to poor oral health of which a few conditions are listed below

Teeth grinding / clenching:  If you find yourself getting up to a headache with jaw pain or heavy feeling then you might be grinding and/or clenching your teeth at night. This is a subconscious habit and you might be even doing it during the day. This causes unnecessary pressure on the teeth and the surrounding structures in the jaw. Teeth tend to become attrited which later causes sensitivity.

Teeth decay & gum disease: A poor oral hygiene causes teeth to decay faster. Gum diseases increase as stress affects your immunity and bacteria build up rapidly which causes damage to gums resulting in swollen gums.

Poor oral hygiene: Being stressed with a busy schedule can cause you to ignore your oral hygiene. Improper brushing and flossing leads to poor oral hygiene which causes cavities and gum diseases.

Poor diet / nutrition: Due to time constraints people tend to consume junk food which contains high amount of sugar and carbohydrates which are harmful and accelerate tooth decay.

Bad breath: Changes in the mouth due to stress and a neglect towards oral hygiene causes unpleasant odour or bad breath that is also known as halitosis.

Cheek biting: Cheek biting is a subconscious reaction to boredom or stress.  It is a self injurious habit and does more harm than good. It results in wounds and ulcers which are painful and might be potential causes of oral cancer.

How to manage stress

• Always plan your day in advance
• Get plenty of rest
• Eat healthy and drink plenty of water
• Find relaxing techniques
• Try and carry food from home to avoid eating unhealthy junk food
• Do not skip dental appointments
• Visit your dentist for regular check up

What to do if you have gaps in your teeth? ___

A diastema is an area of extra space between two or more teeth. The two front teeth of the upper jaw area is where diastema is most frequently seen.

Once your dentist or dental specialist has determined the reason for your diastema, a treatment plan will be discussed.

Options may include:

● Keep the diastema.

● Orthodontic treatment to move the teeth and close the diastema.

● Use porcelain veneers, very thin pieces of porcelain bonded to the outside of the teeth.

● Crown and bridge work or replacement of teeth with implants (adults only).

● Dental bonding

How can I get rid of gaps in teeth without braces?

Braces aren’t the only solution for filling gaps in teeth. If you want to close gaps in teeth without braces, two other options that may be offered are veneers and composite bonding.

Veneers: A porcelain veneer is a thin cover that fits on top of your natural teeth to alter the shape and/or color. Fixing a small diastema with veneers is quite straightforward.

Dental Bonding: With diastema bonding, a composite material is applied directly to the teeth – no lab work required. The dentist builds up and shapes the composite to give the desired appearance. In the case of filling gaps in teeth, the composite is used to extend the tooth slightly to close the diastema

Not every tooth problem comes with tooth ache. There could be problems growing inside without causing pain.  

Dentistry is a visually-driven profession. Without being able to see what’s going on under the tooth surface, a dentist is definitely left ‘flying blind’ to know what’s going on inside our teeth.

X rays help give the dentist a better view of what’s going inside. Using x-rays to look in between teeth, underneath the gum line, and into the bones of the jaw, the dentist can get a much more thorough look than is possible with just the naked eye alone. 

How do X-rays work?

X-rays provide a special type of light that can travel through your skin and bounce off of any metal target. The calcium in your bones is considered a metal target and allows X-rays to produce a picture that can clearly outline your bones and some of your tissue. This information is important to dentists because it allows them to take a look at the inner structure of your teeth and mouth

What can dental X-rays tell you?

Dental X-rays can tell you a lot about your mouth and teeth.

• Visualize disease around teeth and surrounding tissue
• Detect and treat dental problems early on, reducing costs for the patient
• Show the decay around your teeth or underneath fil­lings.
• Reveal infection or bone loss
• Monitor how permanent teeth are growing for kids
• See tumors or cysts
• Check for cavities or oral health concerns
• Observe wisdom teeth as they grow

Radiation exposure

Protective measures

Radiation exposure is limited only to the teeth and mouth. Use of protective leaded aprons and thyroid collars help minimize direct exposure to the abdomen and thyroid gland. For pregnant women and young children undergoing radiation exposure, it is very important to use thyroid collars.

As kids grow they tend to develop a lot of good and bad oral habits…

Then slowly through trials and errors and under parental guidance, they are able to differentiate between good and bad oral habits.

Few of the most commonly adapted habits by the kids are…

• Teeth clenching habit- Many children have a tendency of grinding their teeth while sleeping at night. This can lead to teeth fracture or wear and even jaw related problems. Better to visit a dentist as soon as possible.

• Finger/thumb sucking habits- Many toddlers continue to suck on their fingers or thumb as they grow older. This habit can lead to deformation of the upper and lower arches of the mouth and even lead to development of “buck teeth”. Breaking this habit is really important.

• Chewing sugary, sticky candies- Few parents gives their kids sugary treats to chew on, without realizing how damaging the sugar can be. Excessive amount of sugar in the oral cavity is like a free invitation for bacteria to feast upon. This habit should be checked and stopped to reduce any further damage.

• Nail biting- Many children gets this habit of biting their nails. This can lead to chipping of front tooth.

• Tongue thrusting habit- Tongue thrusting is normal in kids up-till 6months of age, if continued after that it can adversely affect your teeth and mouth. The continuous pressure by the tongue on the front teeth tends to force them out of alignment.

• Mouth breathing habit- Mouth breathing may lead to some serious oral health concerns. Since breathing out of your mouth dries it out, the amount of saliva decreases, which is a big problem. Saliva is important to ridding your mouth of harmful bacteria and neutralizing acids. When not enough saliva is produced, your chance of tooth decay and other dangerous problems increases.

“Check on these habits in your kids and prevent many dental issues beforehand…”

Having a cracked tooth may not seem like a big deal especially if it is not causing any pain. But it is not the case usually. It won’t be long before cracked tooth starts giving you a problem as bacteria will slowly seep into it and will develop into a decay or infection.

Most of the times teeth crack if they are weak, heavily filled, badly decayed or if you clench or grind your teeth as well.

Cracked teeth are usually pain-free but are sensitive to cold and they also cause pain during chewing .These are a few symptoms you might experience but a cracked tooth may also cause such excruciating pain that you might need an emergency extraction.

Why do teeth crack?

• Extreme teeth grinding or clenching at night causes more stress than usual resulting in a cracked tooth or multiple teeth
• Under-contoured or overdone fillings exert pressure on the walls of the teeth causing them to crack
• Chewing on pencils, ice, hard food stuffs or opening cans with teeth are definitely a reason for your teeth to crack.
• If there is presence of gum diseases, there are chances of tooth root to fracture.
• Abrupt changes in temperature in the mouth for eg eating something hot and then trying to cool your mouth with ice water
• With age most teeth cracks occur in people over 50 years.

Diagnosing a cracked tooth maybe tricky. X-rays may or may not be able to reveal cracked teeth. Your dentist will make an X-ray or try to examine the tooth with a probe. A cracked tooth may also have swollen gums around it. Also during chewing you may feel pain when you release your bite

How do you treat a cracked tooth?

Usually a tooth can crack in many ways. It can range from a tiny millimeter upto the crown and may extend till the root. Cracked teeth can be managed by filling, root canals or by using a splint to hold it in place. If the damage is unmanageable then the tooth needs to be extracted.

Veneers—

     “Cosmetic excellence…stunning smiles”

If you are going for veneers ,your dentist will make study models of your teeth so that you can get an idea of what your teeth can look like when the porcelain veneers are in place. Once these models are approved, an appointment can be set up for the actual procedure. Local anesthesia is generally recommended if there will be tooth preparation to avoid any discomfort. Once the preparation of your teeth is completed your dentist will make an impression of your teeth. This impression will be used by the dental laboratory to create your custom porcelain veneers. Initially your dentist will place the veneers to check that the color, shape and size is as desired. If they meet all your expectations, the dentist will bond them to your teeth creating your new smile.

What is dental bonding???

Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied and hardened with a special light, which ultimately "bonds" the material to the toothto restore or improve a person's smile.

What Conditions Is Dental Bonding Considered?

Dental bonding is an option that can be considered:

• To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
• To repair chipped or cracked teeth
• To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
• To close spaces between teeth
• To make teeth look longer
• To change the shape of teeth
• As a cosmetic alternative to amalgam fillings
• To protect a portion of the tooth's root that has been exposed when gums recede.

What's the Procedure for Having a Tooth Bonded?

• Preparation. Little advance preparation is needed for dental bonding. Anesthesia is often not necessary unless the bonding is being used to fill a decayed tooth, the tooth needs to be drilled to change its shape, or the chip is near the nerve. Your dentist will use a shade guide to select a composite resin color that will closely match the color of your tooth.
• The bonding process. Next, the surface of the tooth will be roughened and a conditioning liquid applied. These procedures help the bonding material adhere to the tooth. The tooth-colored, putty-like resin is then applied, molded, and smoothed to the desired shape. A bright, usually blue, light, or laser is then used to harden the material. After the material is hardened, your dentist will further trim and shape it, and polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
• Time-to-completion. Dental bonding takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth to complete.

Advantages of dental bonding

• You get immediate results and need fewer visits.
• Time efficient procedure.
• Less tooth structure removal.
• Gives your smile a dazzling shine.
• Immediate shade, shape and size can be altereted according to your likings.
