Thrill to fill

3-dimensional obturation/filling in root canal treatment (RCT)

Root canals are now painless, faster and more accurate with latest rotary devices and 3 dimension filling system. Least failure and better prognosis of the tooth.
 

Why remove when we can save?

There is a myth among all people that a dentist is confined to 32 teeth and he doesn’t know other medical knowledge but I want to share some points with you:

• Dentistry is a specialty which involves oral cavity and surrounding structures (similar to skin, ent, etc)
• It doesn’t deal only with 32 teeth
• A dentist is a surgeon
• A dentist deals with all the diseases with oral manifestations
• No other speciality in medicine has been further divided into specialities
• A dentist is an anaesthetist (he gives anesthesia for many procedures)
• A dentist is a radiographer (he takes the x-ray of his patients himself)
• A dentist is a children’s specialist (he is the only surgeon who can make children to sit for a surgery without general anesthesia)
• A dentist deals with oral cancer (he knows to take biopsy. Oral cancer tops the various other cancers which occur in humans)
• A dentist is an bone specialist he deals with double joint i. E temporomandibular joint which is only one double joint in the body
• A dentist deals with trigeminal neuralgia so a neurologist
• A dentist knows the aids symptoms which manifest mainly in oral cavity
• As a surgeon he knows how to control bp and sugar so a diabetologist
• He makes smiles and helps to make love

Happy dentists day to all my dentist friends!

Brush your tongue. Cleaning the surface of your tongue can reduce the bacteria that causes bad breath.

Rinse your mouth with an alcohol-free mouth wash after every meal to avoid the formation of bacteria.

Are you worried your friends and colleagues may be getting bowled over by your breath?

Bad breath affects over half of us.

It can be caused by a bunch of factors, including plaque, inflammation of the gums and decay in the mouth, smoking or even medication.

It’s also often caused by something we’ve eaten.

We all know that garlic makes it worse.

Good oral hygiene, of course, is still the best way to keep your breath sweet.

But some kinds of food and drink can actually fight bad breath. Go ahead and grab one of these choices to freshen your breath between meals.

1. Say cheese

A piece of cheese after you’ve eaten can neutralize some of those dietary acids, which may be stuck on your teeth and giving you that bad breath odour. A serving of unsweetened yogurt can also help. A small study found that volunteers with halitosis who ate yogurt twice a day had reduced levels of hydrogen sulfide, a compound that can cause bad breath.

2. Munch on stuff with crunch

Since it’s the soft and sticky foods that are most likely to be trapped on your teeth, causing bacteria buildup and bad odours, reach for a snack that’s neither. Apples, carrots and celery all scrub your teeth as you eat, helping to strip away those leftover bits of raisin.

3. Sugarless candies and gum

Any snack that increases saliva flow in your mouth, like sugar-free candy or gum, will help reduce odour in your mouth. Wondering what flavour to opt for? mint may temporarily mask a bad smell. Cinnamon, on the other hand, may actually help to stop it at the source. The plant essential oil that’s often used for flavouring cinnamon gums and candies, known as cinnamic aldehyde, can reduce odour-causing bacteria.

4. Wet your whistle with water

A dry mouth can make your breath pretty unbearable. In some ways, water acts like artificial saliva, since it can wash away those leftover bits of garlic bread. Keep a water bottle in your workspace’your colleagues will likely thank you for it.

99% of the plaque can be removed by the use of waterjets along with daily brushing.

Fruits and vegetables which require continuous biting like apples, carrots and corn should be avoided as it can become quite difficult while the braces are on.

1. Bite firmly on the gauze pads covering each extraction site for atleast 30 min to help stop the bleeding.
2. Do not rinse vigorously, suck on straws, smoke, drink alcohol or brush teeth next to the extraction site for 48 hours.
3. Do not forget to take the medicines as prescribed by the doctor.
4. If possible chew on the opposite side of your extraction site. Drink lots of liquids and eat soft, nutritious foods. Strictly avoid hard, hot food & drinks for first 24 hours.
5. Avoid excessive mouth opening, yawning, spitting etc
6. If bleeding continues, call your dentist.
