How do you identify tooth decay at Home? Symptoms and Diagnosis of Cavities

How do you identify tooth decay at Home? Symptoms and Diagnosis of Cavities You probably think you don't have any tooth decay. Well, here is a Reality check. Most people who think they don't have cavities, actually do. Dental caries, tooth decay, cavities, rotten tooth etc are some synonyms for the same. What are cavities? Cavities or tooth decay is the destruction of the top layer of the tooth that is enamel and dentin. This is because of action of acid producing bacteria from the food that remains in the mouth after meals. These bacteria can act on different parts of the tooth, and depending on where they are present their characteristics can vary. There are different locations on each tooth where tooth decay can begin: It can begin on the smooth outer surfaces of the teeth. On the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Also called as the Occlusal surface. This region is where majority of the caries starts. The reason being the chewing or occlu

How does treatment of cavities work in INDIA? HOW TO KNOW WHAT TREATMENT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR CAVITIES.

How does treatment of cavities work in INDIA? Once a tooth structure is gone, it's gone forever. There's no way to regrow the lost tooth structure. The only solution left is to stop further spread of infection to other parts of the tooth or even other teeth. The treatment varies depending on what stage the caries is in. Incipient caries or white spot can be stopped from progressing by adding a remineralising fluoride solution or gel which will prevent the start of caries and will make the tooth structure more resistant to decay. Stained and deep grooves on the chewing surfaces can be filled with Pit and fissure sealants. These flush out all food and prevents the formation of any cavities. Unfortunately if the decay is progressed beyond the initial stage, there is no way to save the tooth structure. The infected part of enamel and dentin must be removed. Decay that is present only in the first two layers of the teeth can be treated by removing the in

Why should you replace missing teeth? IMPORTANCE OF REPLACING MISSING TEETH.

Why should you replace missing teeth? Getting rid of a problematic tooth may seem like a good option to many of you. But whenever there is even the slightest chance of saving it, SAVE IT. A missing tooth poses more problems in the future than you can imagine. The only exception being the wisdom tooth, which by itself requires no replacement whatsoever and it's removal never causes future problems. If you don't replace a lost natural tooth with an artificial tooth replacement, you could lose all of your remaining teeth. As shocking as this may sound, it's true. And here's why. The upper and lower back teeth have the tendency to move towards the area where they have place. For example: When a lower 6th tooth is missing, all the teeth surrounding that tooth move towards it. The lower 7th and 5th teeth move towards the gap created by the missing 6th tooth. Because of the 7th and 5th teeth moving towards the missing 6th tooth posi

WISDOM TEETH: SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND TREATMENT IN INDIA

WISDOM TEETH:IDENTIFY THE CAUSE FOR YOUR SYMPTOMS AT HOME. DENTAL TREATMENTS IN INDIA. Wisdom teeth are the last molars to come in the mouth. They erupt between the age of 18-24 years. During the process of evolution, the jaw sizes of human beings have reduced considerably. The Early Man had large jaw bones and sufficient space in his mouth to host all 32 teeth including the 3rd molars/ wisdom teeth. But due to change in diets and the introduction to soft and processed food, the use of the jaws and forces applied on it have reduced. This in turn has lead to shrinking of the jaw sizes in humans of this generation. This has resulted in insufficient space for the wisdom teeth or 3rd molars. PERICORONITIS Sometimes In a jaw with sufficient space for the wisdom teeth to erupt, there are almost no problems associated with it. However, there can be an inflammation of the tissues and gums in that region leading to severe discomfort and pain. The main cause of this disco

What are the different layers of the Tooth? Parts of the tooth

PARTS OF THE TOOTH What Are the Different Parts of a Tooth? Crown — The top of the tooth, and the only part visible. The front teeth are sharp and chisel-shaped for cutting. these are called Incisors and canines. While molars and premolars have flat surfaces for grinding. Neck — Its where the tooth and the gums meet. Without proper brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up at the gum line, leading to gingivitis and gum disease. Root — The part of the tooth that is embedded in bone. The root makes up about two-thirds of the tooth and holds the tooth in place . What are the different layers of the Tooth? Enamel — The outermost covering of the tooth. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body. But it can be damaged by decay if teeth are not maintained well. Dentin — The Second layer of the tooth under the enamel. If decay is able to progress its way through the enamel, it next attacks the dentin. Here dentinal tubes lead directly to the dental pul

WHAT CAUSES TOOTH PAIN?

CAUSES OF TOOTH PAIN “Aahhh! My tooth hurts!”is the ever so commonly heard statement. Tooth pain is usually the result of irritation to the nerve and blood vessels and surroundings of the tooth. GUM PAIN If it's paining near your gums then there is a possibility that you injured your gums while eating food, or a certain part of food is stuck in between the teeth. For example: while eating fish, nuts and some small bone pieces can cause pain. Another cause is the presence of deposits or tartar on the teeth and gums. T hese deposits irritate the gums and cause inflammation of the gums. TREATMENT : In such cases the use of a floss or inter dental brush is a simple solution to solve the problem. Professional scaling can also help. You can also apply a Choline Salicylate and Lidocaine/Lignocaine gel. This gel will heal your injury and also provide you with relief from the pain. A simple glycerin app

DO YOU NEED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

WHO NEEDS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT? What makes you look beautiful?? Whether a face is considered beautiful is greatly affected by cultural and ethnic factors, but whatever the culture, a severely disproportionate face is a problem. Distorted and asymmetric facial features are a major contributor to facial aesthetic problems, whereas proportionate features are generally acceptable even if not beautiful. Judgments regarding dental esthetics are affected by the background attractiveness of the person’s face. Frontal Examination: In the frontal view, one looks for bilateral symmetry of the face and for proportionality of the widths of the eyes, nose, and mouth . A small degree of bilateral facial asymmetry exists in essentially all normal individuals. So, a drastic asymmetry in these facial features indicates a need for treatment. The first step in analyzing facial proportions is to examine the face from the front. Low-set ears or eyes that are unusually far apart (hypertelori
