DENTAL DIARIES

These days a major query is arising among patients is SENSITIVITY AFTER SCALING .  i must say the results after scaling may vary from patient to patient as if in a patient deposition is deep i.e under gums "which requires deep cleaning" will show sensitivity. BUT if the deposition of plaque and tartar is only on superficial areas of teeth then there is no chance of senstivity sensitivity is basically due to deep cleaning in which scaling along with root planing is performed,which involves the use of tools between the gums and tooth roots to remove plaque nad tartar on root surfaces.

Many of the patients ask now a days . will my teeth become loose and fall down if, i get the braces? the answer is a NO!!!!!!  As soon as you get the braces the forces upon the teeth makes it to move which gives a feeling of it getting loose and looks like eventually it will fall down.Its a normal way of tooth movement in order to achieve treatment success. Force level varies from patient to patient. If someone is having Gingivitis ( inflammation of gums) then the force level has to be kept low in order to achieve maximum clinical results with minimal side effects. Our ' ORTHODONTIST IN ROHINI ' make sure to treat every patient accordingly. we can't deny the fact that small changes occur after the placement of braces. the force level that is exerted on the root of the teeth will make a small amount of resorption, but that is negligible. If one is using heavy forces (that should not be used), or some times it happen that patient insist for heavy forces as patie...

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.
