Fluoride application is the non-invasive and painless dental treatment to prevent or arrest dental decay in children. Dental fluoride treatment comprises of applying dental fluoride in gel, foam or varnish form. Fluoride is a mineral known to strengthen the outer coating of teeth and keeping dental decay at bay. Fluoride forms a protective shield around the children’s teeth and protect the teeth from the hurtful acid attacks caused by plaque and bacteria in the mouth.

Professional fluoride application is the most effective way to decrease the prevalence of dental caries in children and improve overall dental health in children. Skilled pedodontist at #TeethCareCentre perform fluoride application procedure according to your child’s particular oral and dental situation. We make a point to ensure that adequate levels of fluoride needed are absorbed by the child’s teeth in order to successfully cease the acidic breakdown of the outer layer of the teeth.

The mouth’s filled with up to 6 million bacteria, most of them harmless. Over time, if a person neglects to brush their teeth and floss, the bacteria will continue to grow, contributing to diseases such as gum disease and tooth decay. The body’s natural defenses can usually keep these bacteria under control when a person maintains good oral health, but without proper hygiene, that bacteria can enter the bloodstream and cause that bacteria to spread to other parts of the body.

 

 

 

 

More than 90% of systemic diseases, or diseases involving the organs, have oral manifestations that contribute to the disease. However, poor oral hygiene can also be caused by certain conditions. Some conditions linked to poor oral health include:

Diabetes – As a chronic condition with numerous factors, a person with diabetes can eventually result in producing gum disease due to lower resistance to infections.

HIV/AIDS – Oral complications, such as lacerations or fungal infection of the mouth, can occur for those with HIV/AIDS.

Osteoporosis – When the bones become fragile, they can be subject to fracture,and may be connected with tooth loss and jaw bone loss.

Cancer – Oral cancer can lead to compromise on oral hygiene due to medications and radiotherapy.

Heart Disease – Poor dental habits and heart disease have been shown to correlate, as the inflammation of the gums can contribute to illnesses such as endocarditis, clogged arteries, and stroke risks.

Pregnancy- Gums usually gets inflamed due to pregnancy so routine dental visit is advised.

Bruxism is the habit of involuntary clenching or gnashing of the teeth. It can either occur when person is awake (awake bruxism) or during the sleep (sleep bruxism). Occasional grinding of teeth is not harmful but the problem arises when this habit becomes repetitive. Constant grinding of teeth can cause number of problems like pain in jaw, neck or face, tooth pain or sensitivity , mild headache and wearing away of biting surfaces of the teeth.

 

 

 

This habit can be curbed using night guards which are specially customized according to each patient which offers a protective barrier and helps minimize the damage done by bruxism. It also reduces strain on your jaw and come in varying degrees of thickness which are fitted specifically to your jaw’s size and shape. If teeth grinding occurs due to malaligned teeth, then orthodontic treatment is the best options for it.
