Bad breath

Bad breath (also called halitosis) can be downright embarrassing. According to dental studies, about 85% of people with persistent bad breath have a dental condition that is to blame. Gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, dry mouth and bacteria on the tongue are the reasons that can cause bad breath. Using mouthwash to cover up bad breath when a dental problem is present will only mask the odor and not cure it. If you suffer from chronic bad breath, visit your dentist to rule out any of these problems.

Ways to prevent bad breath:

Brushing your teeth and flossing twice a day, especially after meals that contain food and spices known to cause bad breath. Remember to brush your tongue, or try using a tongue scraper, to remove any trapped food and plaque caught in the tiny hair-like fibers on the tongue. Finish off your brushing by rinsing thoroughly with water or mouthwash.
Visit your dentist on a regular basis (every six months or as indicated by your dentist) for a complete examination of your teeth and gums and thorough cleaning by the dental hygienist.
Preventing bad breath is achievable when you have dental problems treated as they occur, such as tooth decay, gum abscesses, and abscessed teeth.

Tooth decay

Did you know tooth decay, also known as cavities, is the second most prevalent disease. Tooth decay occurs when plague, the sticky substance that forms on teeth, combines with the sugars and / or starches of the food we eat. This combination produces acids that attack tooth enamel. The best way to prevent tooth decay is by brushing twice a day, flossing daily and going to your regular dental check-ups. Eating healthy foods and avoiding snacks and drinks that are high in sugar are also ways to prevent decay.

Gum (Periodontal) Disease

Studies have shown that periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is linked to heart attacks and strokes. Gum disease is an infection in the gums surrounding the teeth. Gum disease is also one of the main causes of tooth loss among adults. There are two major stages of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. Regular dental check-ups along with brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily play an important role in preventing gum disease.

Oral cancer

Oral cancer is a serious and deadly disease that affects millions of people. In fact, the Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that someone in the United States dies every hour of every day from oral cancer. Over 300,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed every year, worldwide. This serious dental disease, which pertains to the mouth, lips or throat, is often highly curable if diagnosed and treated in the early stages.

Mouth sores

There are several different types of mouth sores and they can be pesky and bothersome. Unless a mouth sore lasts more than two weeks, it is usually nothing to worry about and will disappear on its own. Common mouth sores are canker sores, fever blisters, cold sores, ulcers and thrush.

Tooth erosion

Tooth erosion is the loss of tooth structure and is caused by acid attacking the enamel. Tooth erosion signs and symptoms can range from sensitivity to more severe problems such as cracking. Tooth erosion is more common than people might think, but it can also be easily prevented.

Ways to prevent tooth erosion:

After eating or drinking acidic foods or beverages, rinse your mouth with water so that the acid will be neutralized.Wait at least an hour before brushing your teeth after consuming acidic foods or beverages to allow the teeth to re-mineralize after the acid exposure.
Cut back on carbonated drinks and try replacing them with water, milk or un-sweetened coffee and tea.
Use a straw when drinking carbonated beverages or other sweet drinks, such as natural fruit juices, which are very acidic. A straw enables the liquid to go quickly to the back of your mouth instead of washing over the teeth.
Swallow acidic liquids quickly instead of swishing them around or holding them in your mouth.
Chewing sugar-free gum can help reduce dry mouth and increase the saliva flow, allowing for your teeth to re-mineralize.

Tooth sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is a common problem that affects millions of people. Basically, tooth sensitivity means experiencing pain or discomfort to your teeth from sweets, cold air, hot drinks, cold drinks or ice cream. Some people with sensitive teeth even experience discomfort from brushing and flossing. The good news is that sensitive teeth can be treated.

Toothaches and Dental emergencies

I can’t think of much worse than suffering from a toothache. While many toothaches and dental emergencies can be easily avoided just by regular visits to the dentist, we all know that accidents can and do happen. Having a dental emergency can be very painful and scary. Fortunately, you can do several things until you are able to see your dentist.

Never put any pain killers, including aspirin, on the gum because it can burn the gum tissue. Clean your mouth out by rinsing thoroughly with warm water. Gently floss around the tooth to remove any food particles that may be caught there. If your tooth continues to hurt, you should call your dentist as soon as possible. A toothache can result from several dental problems. Regular dental check-ups and dental cleanings can help prevent toothaches.

Teeth grinding

Teeth grinding or Bruxism, is very common in adults and can be very destructive, sometimes resulting in jaw problems. The most common causes are misaligned teeth and stress. Orthodontic or restorative dentistry can correct alignment and we can fabricate a custom a plastic guard for people to wear while they sleep to protect their teeth from the destructive forces our jaws can produce. Other prevention methods include physical therapy and daily relaxation techniques.

Unattractive smile

While an unattractive smile is not technically a “dental problem,” it is considered a dental problem by people who are unhappy with their smile and it’s also a major reason that many patients seek dental treatment. An unattractive smile can really lower a person’s self-esteem. Luckily, with today’s technologies and developments, anyone can have a beautiful smile. Whether it’s teeth whitening, dental implants, orthodontics or other cosmetic dental work, chances are that your dentist can give you the smile of your dreams.

Taking care of your teeth and gum

Cleaning your teeth regularly is very important. Brush your teeth twice a day and use dental floss or other cleaning tools daily to maintain good oral hygiene. Once the tartar has been formed, they might lead to dental problems and gum bleeding.

You should have regular dental visit to have overall dental health check and clean your teeth properly.

Diet and dental health

Being on diet can reduce the risk of having tooth decay. Drinking products such as soda, juice can create an environment that might lead to tooth decay. Paying attention to the amount of sugar in your diet will also help to protect your teeth. Most types of food contain sugar, including fruit and vegetable, which can potentially lead to tooth decay. You can eliminate this risk by reducing the amount of sugar consumed daily. Otherwise, you should eat sugar-containing products during the main meals rather than afterwards. This is because the amount of saliva produced during main meals is higher, which will have to reduce the amount of acids inside the mouth and remove tiny particles between teeth. Chewing gum is also effective in increasing the amount of saliva produced and also the amount of calcium and phosphate which will enhance your teeth. Chewing sugar-free gum 20 minutes after your meal would prevent tooth decay.

Balanced diet

A balanced diet is very important in maintaining your overall dental health. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has encouraged us to choose food from the following main categories:

• Vegetable, especially those with a dark green or yellowish orange color

• Food made from grains such as brown bread, porridge, etc

• Dairy products such as low-fat yogurt/cheese, etc

• Different types of beans and meat such as chicken, fish or beef

• Vegetable or fish oil

Proper brushing takes at least two minutes — that’s right, 120 seconds! Most adults do not come close to brushing that long. To get a feel for the time involved, try using a stopwatch. To properly brush your teeth, use short, gentle strokes, paying extra attention to the gumline, hard-to-reach back teeth and areas around fillings, crowns or other restoration.
Concentrate on thoroughly cleaning each section as follows:

• Clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth

• Clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth, then your lower teeth

• Clean the chewing surfaces

• For fresher breath, be sure to brush your tongue, too

What Type of Toothbrush Should I Use?

Most dental professionals agree that a soft-bristled brush is best for removing plaque and debris from your teeth. Small-headed brushes are also preferable, since they can better reach all areas of the mouth, including hard-to-reach back teeth. For many, a powered toothbrush is a good alternative. It can do a better job of cleaning teeth, particularly for those who have difficulty brushing or who have limited manual dexterity.

How Often Should I Replace My Toothbrush?

You should replace your toothbrush when it begins to show wear, or every three months, whichever comes first. It is also very important to change toothbrushes after you’ve had a cold, since the bristles can collect germs that can lead to reinfection.

Did you know that your oral health can offer clues about your overall health — or that problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body? Understand the intimate connection between oral health and overall health and what you can do to protect yourself.

What’s the connection between oral health and overall health?

Like many areas of the body, your mouth is teeming with bacteria — most of them harmless. Normally the body’s natural defenses and good oral health care, such as daily brushing and flossing, can keep these bacteria under control. However, without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can reach levels that might lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease.

In addition, certain medications — such as decongestants, antihistamines, painkillers and diuretics — can reduce saliva flow. Saliva washes away food and neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth, helping to protect you from microbial invasion or overgrowth that might lead to disease.

Studies also suggest that oral bacteria and the inflammation associated with periodontitis — a severe form of gum disease — might play a role in some diseases. In addition, certain diseases, such as diabetes and HIV/AIDS, can lower the body’s resistance to infection, making oral health problems more severe.

What conditions may be linked to oral health?

Your oral health might affect, be affected by, or contribute to various diseases and conditions, including:

• Endocarditis. Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of your heart (endocardium). Endocarditis typically occurs when bacteria or other germs from another part of your body, such as your mouth, spread through your bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in your heart.

• Cardiovascular disease. Some research suggests that heart disease, clogged arteries and stroke might be linked to the inflammation and infections that oral bacteria can cause.

• Pregnancy and birth. Periodontitis has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.

• Diabetes. Diabetes reduces the body’s resistance to infection — putting the gums at risk. Gum disease appears to be more frequent and severe among people who have diabetes. Research shows that people who have gum disease have a harder time controlling their blood sugar levels.

• HIV/AIDS. Oral problems, such as painful mucosal lesions, are common in people who have HIV/AIDS.

• Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis — which causes bones to become weak and brittle — might be linked with periodontal bone loss and tooth loss.

• Alzheimer’s disease. Tooth loss before age 35 might be a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.

• Other conditions. Other conditions that might be linked to oral health include Sjogren’s syndrome — an immune system disorder that causes dry mouth — and eating disorders. Because of these potential links, be sure to tell your dentist if you’re taking any medications or have had any changes in your overall health — especially if you’ve had any recent illnesses or you have a chronic condition, such as diabetes.

How can I protect my oral health?

To protect your oral health, practice good oral hygiene every day.

For example:

• Brush your teeth at least twice a day.

• Floss daily.

• Eat a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks.

• Replace your toothbrush every three to four months or sooner if bristles are frayed.

• Schedule regular dental checkups. Also, contact your dentist as soon as an oral health problem arises. Remember, taking care of your oral health is an investment in your overall health.

A person with good oral hygiene habits will have clean teeth without a bad smell. This means:

• Your teeth does not have food remained.

• The gum is pink and healthy – not damaged or bleeds when brushing or using dental floss.

• If your gum is damaged whilst using dental floss or brushing, or if you have a bad breath, please visit the dentist immediately to have your teeth taken care of.

• Dentists will explain in details how to take care of your teeth, remove the tartar and whiten your teeth, in order to help you to have a beautiful smile with healthy teeth.

How to have good oral hygiene?

• Brush your teeth carefully twice a day and use dental floss daily.

• Have a balanced diet and avoid junk food between meals.

• Use dental products that contain flour, including toothpaste.

• Use mouthwash liquid that contains flour.

Brush your teeth correctly

Tilt the brush at a 45° angle against the gumline and sweep or roll the brush away from the gumline.

Gently brush the outside, inside and chewing surface of each tooth using short back-and-forth strokes.

Gently brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.

Use dental floss correctly

Cut off a section of floss about 45cm (18 inches) long. Wind it around the middle fingers of each hand.

Grip the floss with your thumb and forefinger of each hand so that the floss between your hands is about 2.5-5cm (1-2 inches) long. Pull it tight so you can insert the floss in a gap between two teeth.

Gently guide the floss up and down against the sides of the teeth and under the gumline. When the floss reaches the gumline, curve it into a C-shape against the tooth until you feel resistance.

Hold the floss against the tooth and gently scrape the side over it, away from the gum. This will help you to floss under the gumline without causing any damage.

Repeat this process for the next gap, along the side of the next tooth.

Make sure you floss between every single tooth. Working to a pattern round the whole of your mouth makes it less likely that you’ll miss out any teeth.

• Remember to floss the side of the teeth at the back of your mouth.

A- Reasons There are 2 main reasons behind this:

1. Changes in hormones can make the gum inflamed easily. The common symptoms are swollen and bleeding gum.

2. Changes in diet – pregnant women usually have nausea and changes in eating habits, which can potentially lead to tooth decay.

B- Why protect your teeth during pregnancy

Dental diseases if left untreated will weaken your teeth and might eventually lead to tooth loss. According to a medical research in America, pregnant women’s gum diseases can lead to the production of prostaglandins which stimulates labor. Severe infected cases which require medicine might also have an impact on the fetus.

C- Dental care during pregnancy

Women need to take care of dental diseases prior to pregnancy. During pregnancy, women need to be supplied with all necessary nutrients, avoid high-sugar products and eat vegetable and food.

Pregnant women need to have good oral hygiene to prevent tooth decay or gingivitis. Regular dental visit is necessary so that all essential dental work can be done. This should be done between fourth and seventh month of the pregnancy. Pregnant women should only use drugs under doctors’ advice.
