Inspite of best home care one must visit Dentist once in six months. Most dental diseases are painless and without symptoms initially the Dentist would be able to identify these in addition to carrying out routine scalings etc. The local deposits still form inspite of best cleaning and are the main cause of gum diseases.
Gum disease affects three out of four adults. One may not even be aware of it until an advanced stage. Warning signs of gum disease :
It depends upon the type of disease and how far the condition has progress. Ist Step : Plaque & tartar is removed .Tooth roots are planed to facilitate reattachment of gums. Sometimes bite of the teeth needs to be adjusted. Anti biotics and mouth washes may be prescribed to control the bacterial growth. When pockets present between teeth and gums are very deep and can not be managed conservatively ,surgery is performed to reduce its depth. The gums are lifted, plaque and tartar eliminated from roots and gums are stitched back. This may be accompanied by bone contouring ,placement of bone grafts or modern membranes etc. Finally the teeth may require splinting to guide tissue regeneration.
It can be caused by such things like foods, poor oral hygiene, gum disease, a dry mouth (less saliva), tobacco, medical disorders. Sometimes a sinus infection, respiratory tract infection can also cause bad breath.
Regular checkups for gum diseases, dry mouth,and other disorders good oral hygiene,and eliminating gum disease are essential. Brush twice, clean between your teeth daily with floss or with inter dental cleaners. Also brush your tongue.
Brushing and flossing remove a thin sticky film of bacteria that grows on your teeth. This plaque, is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease. Foods you eat cause the bacteria in your mouth to produce acids. Sugared Foods, candy, cookies, starches, bread, crackers and cereal. If you snack often, you could be having multiple acid attacks. After many acid attacks, your teeth may decay.
Plaque also produces substances that irritate the gums, making them red, tender or bleed easily. After a while, gums may pull away from the teeth. Pockets form and fill with more bacteria and pus. Bone around the teeth can also be destroyed. Teeth may become lose or have to be removed. Prevent tooth decay by eating a balanced diet and limiting the number of between-meals snacks. Brushing removes plaque from the tooth surfaces. Brush your teeth twice a day, with a soft-bristled brush. Size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth. Cleaning between the teeth with floss or interdental cleaners removes plaque from between the teeth. Taking care of your teeth, eating a balanced diet and visiting your dentist regularly, you can have healthy and an attractive smile.
Place your tooth brush at a 45 degree angle against the gums.
Move the brush back and forth gently in short strokes.
Brush the outer tooth surfaces, the inner tooth surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
Hold the floss tightly between your thumb and forefinger. Guide the floss between your teeth using a gentle rubbing motion. Never snap the floss into the gums. When the floss reaches the gum line, curve it into a C shape against one tooth.
Brush twice a day, floss daily, use an interdental cleaner. Eat balanced meal and limit snacking. Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral examination.
Every four to six weeks, or sooner if the bristles become worn, or frayed.
Use toothbrush that has polished bristles, use a size and shape that feels comfortable and allows you to reach the surface of every tooth. A hard, bristle brush can injure your gums
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Place the brush a 45 degree angle to the teeth and use a gentle tooth-ward, back-and-forth motion. Remember to clean the inside teeth surfaces where plaque deposits are heavy, and clean the back teeth and tongue.
Use a stream of water to remove food particles from around the teeth. They are meant to be used as an adjunct and not to replace regular brushing or cleaning between the teeth with floss or interdental cleaners.
RCTs can help save your damaged teeth. When the pulp containing nerves ,blood and lymph vessels is diseased or injured and unable to repair itself, the pulp dies. If damaged or diseased pulp is not removed, the tooth and surrounding tissues become infected. Without treatment, your tooth could eventually have to be removed.
