How to prevent tooth damage ?

Damage to the tooth can be as sensitivity, decay, loosening of tooth, stain or tartar and early exfoliation. Tooth damage starts when the diet is high in sugars, poor oral hygiene, no regular dental checkups or it can be in inheritance. The damage starts when the bacterial colonization around teeth increases and the enamel de-mineralization occurs due to low pH in mouth.

The damage to the teeth can be protected by following means: –

REGULAR DENTAL CHECK UP: – Visiting the dental clinic for regular check up is mandatory twice a year for early analysis of developing disease or damage to the teeth. The dentist through various machines detects the cavities not visible to naked eye and early prevention can be started.

SENSITIVITY: -Tooth sensitivity can be due to abrasion, erosion, attrition of outer most layer of tooth dental enamel. It occurs due to improper brushing habit, night teeth grinding and diet rich in acids like beverages, alcohol and acidic food. In initial stage, use of de-mineralization toothpaste and filling the cavities or application of sealants controls the further damage.

POOR ORAL HYGIENE: – Poor oral hygiene is one of the topmost factors for tooth damage. Brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning and rinsing with mouthwash should be everyday regime for good oral health.

HABIT OF SMOKING: – Smoking is injurious to health since cigarettes consist of many poisonous compounds; it contains tobacco which can lead to loosening of tooth, stains, cancer in chronic cases. Reducing the smoke intake and Nicotex chewing gums can help in quitting of smoking habit.27999711698_fcb1bbb74c_b

 

At Teeth Care Centre, the dental surgeons skilled in early diagnosis help in damage prevention and its progression. The early diagnosis helps in treatment for the tooth condition. The decayed tooth can be filled by cosmetic filling or root canal treatment can prevent the tooth removal; the habit of regular brushing and flossing is inculcated in patients by awareness videos and telling them how important is good oral hygiene for wellness; the pit and fissure sealants application also help in dental caries reduction in people who have poor enamel calcification and are prone to cavities.

The Teeth care centre approach is conservation of teeth in every case until it cannot be prevented by any treatment; it is rightly said “PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”
