HOW TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH

Image
Brushing teeth regularly is important for both children and adults, as it helps to remove plaque and bacteria which can cause gum disease and tooth decay. It’s is not only for white smile and fresh breath; oral hygiene maintenance is important for your overall health. For brushing choose a soft bristle toothbrush, as it can effectively remove plaque and debris from gums and between teeth. Hard bristle toothbrush can erode your tooth enamel. Replace your toothbrush regularly after every three to four months or when the bristles get frayed and lose their shape. Remember to always use fluoridated toothpaste as it not only helps remove plaque but also strengthens the tooth enamel. Your toothpaste should contain at least 1400ppm fluoride content. Flossing your teeth is also important as it removes food particles that get trapped in between your teeth.

CAVITIES ON TEETH

Image
Cavities or holes on teeth are nothing but tooth decay, caused by plaque forming bacteria which clings on surface of tooth and turns sugars from food and beverages into acids eating away the enamel surface of your teeth. These cavities if left untreated can go further deep into tooth causing pain, infection and in worst cases you can lose your tooth which could have been saved if treated early. Not only children, but teens and adults can also suffer from tooth decay. A routine dental examination can help in early detection of cavities. To prevent tooth decay always use fluoridated toothpaste and brush your teeth twice a day, avoid snacking in between meals, limit intake of sugary and acidic food and drinks, use floss once a day to clean in between teeth, ask your dentist about sealants on teeth and remember to have regular dental checkups at least twice a year.

CHOCOLATE AND CANDIES V/S DENTAL VISIT

Image
You have fondness for sweets and chocolates, but are scared of cavities as well. Sugars in candies are the main culprit, on which bacteria feed on releasing acids and cause decay. But when it comes to chocolate, few varieties might be good for your mouth. Yes! Chocolate might actually be good for your teeth, that doesn’t mean that you can have any variety, it’s actually the cocoa bean not chocolate itself which has the good stuff. So, higher the cocoa content the better. Cocoa beans have tannins, polyphenols, flavonoids which are known as strong anti oxidants that can have overall health benefit for your mouth and teeth. They could help inhibit bacteria from sticking on your teeth, neutralize microorganism and so might help prevent tooth decay and gum diseases. Chocolates which have fewer sugars are better off than other candies as it can wash off your teeth easier, so “dark chocolates” are your best bet as they have higher cocoa and less sugar content. To avoid having cav...

IGNORING TOOTH DECAY IN CHILDREN

Image
Even though your little ones baby teeth are temporary, they are important to help them chew food, speak, have a healthy smile and most importantly they act as space maintainers for developing adult teeth in their jaws. Baby teeth are also susceptible for decay; proper oral care maintenance is must for them too just like for adult teeth. Tooth decay in children usually occurs on the upper front teeth, but other teeth can also be affected. Decay occurs when any food or drink with sugar clings on to your baby’s teeth for longer time, giving a chance for bacteria to attack their teeth by releasing acids. Kids who have their pacifiers dipped in sugars or those having any sugary drink during their nap time are at high risk of developing decay as saliva flow is reduced during sleep. To prevent your child from having tooth decay clean your baby’s gums after feeding, start to brush their teeth when the first tooth erupts, don’t fill their feeding bottles with sugary drinks, fin...
