Hello
as you have mentioned you have problem while eating hard food there can be many reasons for this. The most common reason is pyorrhoea or periodontitis. So when the bone support of the teeth becomes less that is usual as the age grows, that is when the teeth are not able to bite on hard food with efficiency.
But for a better clarity and better diagnosis I would request you to upload some photographs or better just visit a dentist and get some x-rays done so that a proper diagnosis a...more

Hello
as such there is no medicine available to remove fluoride from your teeth. The fluoride has actually become intrinsic now. It is known as fluorosis. It can only be masked by means of veneers or crowns or bleaching can be tried in some cases.
But to decide as to which treatment would be best for you we would need to see some photographs. You can upload the photographs for a better guidance and if possible just visit your nearby dentist especially a cosmetic or aesthetic dentist and ...more

with Proper Oral hygiene maintenance you can correct the Pyorrhea.
First of all start brushing at night the food you eat or if you drink milk, soda before going to bed and you do not brush, its welcoming cavity, plaque, in your mouth and as time pass by you will fill loose gums, lot of cavity, bleeding gums, bad breadth and much more.
Also do you floss? If not then start to floss, its difficult initially but it is going to save you from lot of cavities and gum disease.

Rampant caries progresses at a faster rate in children and it involves multiple teeth. It’s also called nursing bottle caries as the decay spreads due to feeding milk during the night & putting the baby or children to sleep without brushing. Hence early diagnosis and initiation of preventive and restorative therapies are imperative in its management. Rampant caries can affect the early permanent dentition if the child has improper dietary habits and poor oral hygiene maintenance.

For cavity problems, the toothpaste you mentioned will not reduce the risk of cavity problems
for not decaying if you have acute carious activity in your mouth. For that
1. If you do not have fluorosis then
3m clinpro 5000 1.1% toothpaste (its expensive than the other toothpaste available in the market)
or enafix toothpaste.
Reduces risk for cavity and make enamel strong
also
1. Correct brushing technique
2. Flossing daily
3. Use of mouthwash like chlorhexidin...more

Hiii. Good morning. May be the stains will be extrinsic and discolorations seen. Do scaling once and follow up a scaling after three months to maintain the oral hygiene. After that you can do scaling once a year or six months once. I advice flossing and interdental brushing after scaling. Thank you.

Always remember
scaling and polishing will never create gaps in the teeth.
Scaling and polishing will never cut the gums.
There is a reason why
1. The instrument that is used to do scaling is a vibrating machine, it vibrates at 120000 rpm i.e speed and some even more. So a vibrating instrument will only vibrate the calculus which you call tartar, and thus the calculus get removed.
2. The instrument that is used to do scaling has no cutting surface, so in no way it can cut gum...more
