DENTAL DIARIES

1.NAIL BITING  Nail biting may be a little less common these days but I still see it quite often. It can cause teeth and fillings to chip off and can also cause wearing off of enamel. POSSIBLE SOLUTION :-  Paint the nails with a bitter taste polish.  2. ACIDIC DRINKS  Cold drinks and other aerated drinks that is more common than milk or any other liquid in between adults is the main cause that led to wearing off of enamel surface. This helps in decaying process. The sugar content that is too high in it promotes decay. POSSIBLE SOLUTION :- Avoid these drinks, have some water through out the day at intervals. Avoid drinking aerated drinks, if must, sip by sip instead drink it in one go and rinse after that to remove acids. 3.ICE CUBE CHEWING Chewing on any ice cube will not make you "RAMBO."Teeth are meant for chewing but not ice cubes.

There are a lot of personal findings that a dentist come across his life. What I have observed here as a " Dentist in Rohini " is that almost 30 - 40 % of people lie about there Flossing habits. I also meet a lot of dental colleagues and have visited a lot of "Dental clinic in Rohini" and asked questions and observed that this is the scenario all over. The question that lingers in my mind is that why people find it so difficult to Floss, why they avoid doing Flossing.  Do you know only 2 people out of 10 Floss According to Dentist worldwide, One of the most important habit to develop is Flossing.

WHAT TO CHOOSE? METAL OR CERAMIC BRACES!!!! When a patient enters a Orthodontic clinic He/She is confused whether to go for metal braces or ceramic braces? Orthodontic treatment is generally considered a cosmetic treatment as this is the primary reason behind patient visiting a Orthodontist. But the choice of braces should be more dependent on the longetivity, comfort and ease of treatment in addition to cost to both the patient and the Orthodontist. Based on my personal experience i would prefer metal braces over ceramic for the following reasons :- 1. Cost effective : metal braces are far cost effective than ceramic braces. approx difference would range from Rs.10,000 - 20,000. 2. Longetivity :- although ceramic braces have a very good tooth to bracket bond strength but they lack marginal strength(i.e. they break from corners because of load). so in this regard they have a lesser life than metal brackets.so for this reason they have to be changed which ultimately ...

None of us are least worried when a tooth is lost! Traditional removable bridges, which are just short term options, no longer gain satisfaction among patients. Dental implants, the biggest advancements in dentistry, are meant to blend in with your teeth. Dental implant is typically an artificial tooth that is surgically fastened to the jaw to hold a missing tooth. It is made up of Titanium, a metal which is strong light-weighted and durable, ensuring you comfort. Titanium has a special property called ‘Osseo integration’ which literally means “combines with the bone”. Placing Dental implants stabilizes the bone while preventing its loss.
