Healthy teeth give you the most attractive smile. Teeth are also important for chewing and speaking. Every tooth in the oral cavity has a unique function. Missing one is very unfortunate. Teeth loss can be due to trauma, periodontitis (gum disease), genetic condition, a decayed tooth, etc. If the particular missing tooth is not replaced, then it may lead to shifting of the adjacent tooth, trauma from occlusion, periodontitis, mobility, etc.

tooth-replacements 1. Dental Implant 2. Fixed partial denture (Crown & Bridge) 3. Removable denture

The following are the teeth replacement options:

  1. Dental Implant
  2. Fixed partial denture
  3. Removable denture

Dental Implant

  1. Dental implant is the best option for replacing missing teeth as it is the permanent solution.
  2. Dental implant not only duplicate crown of the tooth but also root by titanium metal post.
  3. Dental implant resembles a natural tooth and lasts longer.
  4. The chewing efficiency with dental implant is greater.
  5. Dental implant are more stable retentive.
  6. Dental Implant provides good esthetic and great comfort.
  7. Dental implant prevents bone loss.

Apart from so many advantages, dental implant has some disadvantages. Dental implants are contraindicated in uncontrolled diabetic patients and smokers. It is considerably costly and involved long procedures.

Fixed partial denture (FPD)

A fixed partial denture replaces single or multiple missing teeth. Fixed partial denture takes the support of adjacent teeth or implant and bridges the gap caused by missing teeth. Fixed bridges are resin retentive. It looks and functions like natural teeth. Fixed partial dentures are cheaper than dental implants.  Some disadvantages are, it is difficult to maintain proper cleaning of the dental bridge.  It may cause damage to the adjacent healthy tooth.

Removable denture

Removable denture replaces one, two or complete set of teeth. It can be removed and inserted by the patient’s own wish. Removable dentures are cheaper than dental implants and fixed partial dentures. The removable denture should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and soaked in a cleaning solution or water. Some disadvantages are, practice is required for insertion and removal of a partial denture. Some patients feel uncomfortable in the beginning and will become accustomed to using it.

Brushing Techniques by Dental Hospital Kanyakumari District.

Brushing teeth is an important practice in our daily life. For a healthy mouth and smile, dentists recommend the following …

  • Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft bristle brush. The size of your brush should suit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily.
  • Change your toothbrush every three months or sooner if the bristles are shabby. A worn-out toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
  • Make sure to use your dentist recommended fluoride toothpaste.

Oral Hygiene and importance of flossing

Posted on November 23, 2019 - 7:54 am by
why-flossing?

Why oral hygiene?

Brushing is a good oral hygiene practice. Right! But do you know brushing alone can’t keep the oral cavity clean? Yes, forget not, to do ‘flossing’.  Flossing can clean the areas where brushing cannot do. Daily twice brushing and at least one-time flossing are considered good practices.

Oral Health

Oral health maintenance is important for all people of any age. Good oral health and regular visit to a dentist helps people to lead a happy and healthy life. Brushing and flossing are the most important way to the healthy oral cavity.

Conditions linked to poor oral health?

If your oral health is poor it can contribute to several diseases and conditions including
• Endocarditis: An infection of the inner lining of your heart chambers or valves (endocardium) commonly develops when germs from another part of your body, such as the mouth, spread through the bloodstream and adhere to certain areas in your heart.
• Cardiovascular disease: Many research findings say that heart disease plagued arteries and stroke might have a link to the oral bacteria.
• Pregnancy and birth complications: Periodontitis/ Gum disease has a link to premature birth and an infant’s low birth weight (LBW).
• Pneumonia: Oral bacteria passing through your lungs can cause pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.
Apart from the above conditions, people with poor oral hygiene are at the risk of certain other conditions like Diabetes, HIV/AIDS, Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.

What is flossing:

Flossing-steps Flossing Steps

Flossing helps in removing plaque and debris between teeth, where the brush can not reach.

Types of flossing: There are four types of flossing viz. 1. Waxed 2. Unwaxed  3. Flavoured and 4. Plan.
How often should we do flossing?  Daily!

Steps of flossing:

  1. Take a string of floss about 18mm and wrap it around both middle fingers.
  2. Grab the floss between the thumb and index finger of both hand
  3. Gently guide floss between teeth by using zig-zag motion. Gently wrap floss around the side of the teeth.
  4. Slide the floss up and down against both tooth surfaces under the gumline.
  5. Floss all the teeth including last teeth on each side.

Similar flossing Tools: Flossing holder, Floss thread, Oral irrigator, Interdental brush

Several studies have shown the connection between Arthritis and dental problems. Periodontitis (Gum disease) and Gingivitis (Gum Inflammation) are common oral diseases found in Rheumatoid arthritis patients. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, avoiding foods that build plague easily, seeking timely dental advice are key points to be followed by RA patients.

Conditions that caused by Arthritis

  • Sjogren’s syndrome is a condition due to Arthritis which damages the salivary gland and causes inflammation. This may lead to dental cavities, dry mouth, eating difficulty, and sometimes tooth loss.
  • Temperomandibular joint (TMT) also be affected by Arthritis, making it painful while opening and closing your mouth.
  • Bacterial infection due to Arthritis can cause swelling on the gums over the jaw, and be the reason for severe pain, fever around the jaw.
  • A white layer of fungal infection may appear on the tongue or around and inside of cheeks.
  • Rare possibility to occur mouth ulcer also.

On what all reasons arthritis patients need to visit their dentist?

  1. When properly caring/brushing teeth is more complicated, patients need to seek the dentist’s advice. Arthritic patients with any of these conditions such as hand deformity, finger contractures, wrist fusions, painful elbows, etc., who suffer to cope with proper brushing need their dentist’s advice for alternative cleaning procedures.
  2. Arthritis patients when they feel jaw pain or severely limited range of motion, which restricts the jaw motion should immediately visit the dentist for advice.
  3. When the bacteria from an arthritic patient’s mouth enter the bloodstream, through a cut in their mouth from any way or simply brushing will harm the overall health. Fixing this condition insists upon a dentist’s advice.
  4. When arthritis patients are at higher risk for developing root caries, a visit to your dental office only be the best option to fix it.
  5. When dry mouth occurred as a symptom of certain diseases, occurred as a side effect of some medications, please visit your dental office without delay.
  6. Arthritic patients, when they have had their joint replacements are strictly advised to have regular dental check-ups.

pregnancy-and-oral-care

Oral health plays the most important part in overall health. Also, it is an important part of pregnancy. During pregnancy, if the dental health is not maintained properly, there is a risk of causing complications like premature birth. A regular dental check-up is the best way to a risk-free pregnancy period. Follow your dentist’s advice especially brush twice a day and floss your teeth once a day.

During pregnancy, special care is needed for teeth and gums. The hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can increase the risk of developing oral diseases result in causing health issues to the developing baby.  So, before and during pregnancy, maintaining good dental and oral care is becoming inevitable.

Conditions that may occur during pregnancy:

Pregnancy Gingivitis: It is a common condition seen in pregnant ladies. Swollen red gums and bleeding while brushing are common symptoms.

Pregnancy Tumors: These are rarely occurring. Developing in the gums, pregnancy tumors are painless and are not cancerous. They subside shortly after childbirth.

Premature Delivery: Excessive bacteria form oral infections that can enter the bloodstream and may cause premature delivery.

Here are some tips to be followed before, during, and after pregnancy:

  1. Get your teeth and gums checked regularly throughout the pregnancy period to avoid oral infections that can affect the fetus. Brush twice a day and floss before going to bed to prevent plaque buildup.
  2. Sharing the advice of the obstetrician including medication with your dentist will enhance the treatment. Be extremely cautious of all drugs during pregnancy.
  3. Avoid cosmetic or other than pregnancy-related dental procedures during pregnancy
  4. Dental x-rays can be done if it is unavoidable. Always maintain good teeth and gum care.
  5. Avoid Tetracycline since they cause discoloration of your child’s temporary and permanent teeth.

Treatment for Tongue-tie

For decades, ‘Surgery’ has been a custom treatment for babies for the release of the tongue-tie. Several kinds of research of the recent era have revealed contradictory opinions about it, while a worldwide scene is an increase in tongue-tie surgery for removal of poor and painful breastfeeding and thereby causing insufficient weight gain. The researchers complain that the major cause of the painful low milk feeding is due to the low production of mother’s milk and frenotomies (tongue-tie surgery) may result in the early weaning of the baby. But in the case of an older child, surgery will be the answer to fix the anomaly.

Treatment for an older child with tongue-tie @ Jerush

This boy Robert, aged 12, came to our centre to get his tongue tie fixed. His parents know the issues from his birth and they put off the treatment since they found no issues in feeding and some pronunciation troubles. That itself is specifically for ‘sh’, ‘ph’ characters in a phrase. Our surgeon suggested surgery for fixing his tongue tie while the boy and his parents reciprocated it. It took only 25 minutes to carry out the procedure under general anesthesia. Then he was advised with a medication followed by speech therapy. He started doing speech therapy after 6 months and his parents were very happy with the improvement of their son’s speech. Robert enjoyed going to therapy for around 6 months till he could feel his speech is okay. Now he is a confident boy like his colleagues without having any feel that once he had pronunciation issues.

Bell’s Palsy Disorder

Posted on October 12, 2019 - 10:28 am by 1
bell's palsy cover

Bell’s palsy, otherwise called acute peripheral facial palsy is assumed as the result of swelling and inflammation of the nerve that controls the muscles on any one side of one’s face. The cause is still exactly unknown and can occur at any age. It may be sometimes a reaction that occurs after a viral infection.  Jerush Dental & Facial Corrective Centre, Thuckalay, Tamilnadu has a history of successfully treated Bell’s Palsy cases.

A year back, village lady Kanagam(38) visited our center with a misshaped face complaining that she had felt something uncommon on her face from the morning, the moment she had woke up from her bed. ‘I looked in the mirror and I was shocked to see my endangered face’ she added. She could not pronounce her name promptly either.

About Bell’s palsy:

bells-palsy-patient 1.Patient 2. Unable to close the affected side Eye

Bell’s Palsy can occur at any time to anyone. People may sometimes doubt if it is that so-called ‘stoke’. It is a condition that temporarily paralyzes or weakens any one side of the face at a time. Though the exact cause for this condition is still not clear, Doctors believe, it is due to the trauma happening to the facial nerve or the seventh cranial nerve. Scientists suggest that it can be due to viral infections in the body.

Common symptoms of Bell’s Palsy are difficulty in closing the eyelid or blinking, abnormal watering from the eye, Drooling, Difficulty in eating or moving the muscles, twitching of facial muscles, etc.

How our patient was treated?

Our maxillofacial surgeon suggested doing a complete physical examination. After observing the results, our surgeon asked her to close her eyelid on the affected side of her face but she could not do it. This is the best way of confirming if a patient is affected by Bell’s Palsy while all other tests are failed to diagnose this disease. The patient’s ailment was thus concluded as Bell’s Palsy.  Some other tests including X-ray, CT scan, and MRI were done to clarify the diagnosis.

A special medication and a special method of massaging on the face were advised to Kanagam. Applying exercise/massage over the affected side and face is inevitable to retain the normalcy of the facial muscles.  She was also informed about the curing time of her present condition. Kanagam followed our instructions without ignorance. After a three months time gap when she visited our surgeon, her face has retained almost 90% of its shape.
