Maintain Healthy Teeth and Gums

Monday, September 20th, 2010

periodontitis

Tooth decay and gum disease are largely caused by plaque, a sticky combination of bacteria and food. Plaque begins to accumulate on teeth within 20 minutes after eating, and whether this plaque is not removed thoroughly each day, tooth decay will flourish. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar.

Plaque and tartar lead to many problems arise:

* Dental Caries: holes that damage the tooth structure.
* Gingivitis: inflammation, swelling and bleeding of the gums.
* Periodontitis: destruction of the ligaments and bone that support the teeth, often leading to the loss.
* Bad breath (halitosis)
* Abscesses, pain, inability to use teeth
* A variety of problems outside the mouth, from premature births to heart disease

Healthy teeth are clean and have no cavities. Healthy gums are pink and firm. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, follow these steps:

* Brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably after each meal and at the time of going to bed.
* Use dental floss at least once a day.
* Schedule an appointment with a dentist for a routine cleaning and examination. Many dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months.
* Keep dentures, retainers and other appliances clean. This includes regular brushing and soaking them in a cleaning solution.

Ask your dentist:

* What toothbrush you should use and where are located the problem areas.
* How to properly floss as improper or too vigorous may injure the gums.
* If you must wear special appliances or tools, such as water irrigation or electric toothbrushes. These can sometimes complement, not replace, brushing and using dental floss.
* If you could benefit from the use of certain toothpastes or mouth rinses. In some cases, toothpastes and mouthwashes counter they can cause you more harm than good, depending on the condition.

Regular cleaning of teeth by a dentist removes plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to achieve for yourself. Professional cleaning includes scaling and polishing, which involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from teeth. The routine examination may include dental x-rays.

Prevention of Dental Caries

prevention of dental caries

Do not let your child suck pacha chest or passively during sleep. Your child should be weaned shortly after the first birthday and introduced to solid foods in your diet. This is a critical time to teach your child to eat healthy foods. If you choose to continue with the pacha, fill it with water only. Brush your child’s teeth after feeding every morning and before bedtime. We recommend a small bristle brush and smooth with a small amount of toothpaste (pea size). Ask your dentist about brushing instructions.

For over forty years, fluoride has been recognized for its caries preventive qualities. There are three basic ways to provide the benefits of fluoride to your child: (1) community drinking water, fluoride, (2) application of fluoride to tooth surfaces, (3) fluoride taken orally. He will benefit from all three. The decision depends on the advice of your dentist.

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

It was thought that with age it was natural to lose the teeth. We now know that this is not true. Following some simple steps to keep your teeth and gums, as well as visiting your dentist regularly – can you keep your teeth for life!

Dental plaque is made up of invisible masses of harmful germs that are the mouth and stick to the teeth. Some types of plaque cause tooth decay. Other types of plaque cause gum disease.

The gums red, swollen or bleeding may be early signs of gum disease. If gum disease is ignored, the tissues that hold teeth in place are destroyed and eventually lose their teeth.

Plaque can hardly be seen, unless it is dyed. You can color the plaque by chewing red tablets a “revealing” toothpastes sold at grocery stores or pharmacies. You can also use a green food coloring. Red or green stain and is impregnated in the teeth shows where there is still plaque and where should you keep brushing to remove it.

Color case and examine your teeth regularly to make sure you are removing all plaque.

You ask your dentist or dental hygienist if your plaque removal techniques are effective.
