Dentist Advice

My advice as a Dentist

If you want to stay healthy maintain your Oral hygiene. Try to follow my advice you can get a health life. I will say in details about this in this article . 

Common advice to Prevent from oral & health disease:

• Rinse mouth with water after every food,sometime use Chlorhexidine mouthwash.
• Stick to gentle, twice-daily brushing with a soft/medium bristle or electric brush 
• Use proper tooth brush & tooth paste. Don't use Charcoal. Clean your tongue with tongue cleaner. Floss once daily & you can massage gum with your finger.
• Chewing habit of hard & fibrous food is a good habit, don't take always soft or liquid food. Take balance diet.
• Avoid Tobacco, Alcohol
• If you are having caries or broken tooth, ulcer then get the treatment.
• If your tooth Restoration is compromised then get the  necessary treatments & if you are using Denture or any appliances in our mouth then clean it regularly.
• If you having caries or gum infection then gargle with warm salted water.

Take care of milk teeth:

My experience is maximum people are not taking care of Milk tooth or Deciduous tooth, but they take cares to permanent tooth. Milk teeth shows the path of eruption of permanent teeth. So if the milk teeth will extract before, then at the time of permanent tooth eruption it can erupt in wrong place. Take care of your milk tooth to prevent from caries.

Every six month visit Dentist to get Scaling treatment & regular Check-up:
Every six month visit Dentist to get Scaling treatment. If you get scaling treatment regularly then you can maintain your proper oral hygiene & proper oral hygiene can gives you healthy life, its written details in my other blog. To identify the caries in regular dental check-up is needed.

Don't extract the tooth if restoration is possible:
If you are having caries tooth then try to do restoration of your tooth, don't extract your tooth if tooth restoration is possible. It's commonly seen that after extraction of tooth, side by tooth & opposite side tooth moves in that place & it can causes gum problem-those tooth becomes weak. 

Advice regarding Orthodontic Problem:
Orthodontic treatment is needed when you are having malocclusion, orthodontic problem. If you are having orthodontic problem then commonly you will get poor oral hygiene, gum problem, tooth attrition & Temporomandibular joint problem. 15-18year of age is very ideal for Orthodontic treatment. Common cause of orthodontic problem is because of Oral bad habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, nail biting etc. & other cause can be advance extraction of milk tooth which all this problem you can prevent in advance, read details in My other article.   

Advice after tooth Extraction :

• Patient should keep the cotton tightly in the extracted socket for 1hr.
• After extraction for 24hrs patient should not take any hot item in mouth. He/she can take ice-cream. He/she should take soft food.
• After 24hrs patient should rinse mouth with warm salted water daily 4-5times/day for 10 days. 
• Don't take any tobacco & alcohol item at-least for a 1wk after extraction.

Replace your missing tooth:
After extraction of tooth you should replace your tooth, because after extraction of tooth,side by tooth & opposite side tooth moves in that place & that it causes gum problem-those tooth becomes weak. If you will replace the missing tooth, then you can some what protect from movement of near by tooth. Other reason of tooth replacement is to stop tooth attrition & to stop Temporomandibular joint problem, lock jaw.
