WHAT IS TOOTH SENSITIVITY

Tooth sensitivity is the pain you feel when you eat or drink hot or cold food and drinks.

 

Sensitivity can happen when 

• Gums pull away from the teeth
• Gum tissue is lost, occurring as a result of brushing too hard or not brushing and flossing regularly
• Tooth’s hard surface layer, called enamel gets worn away leading to exposed dentin

When gum loss occurs, the part of the tooth below the gum line is exposed called as tooth root. There are tiny tunnels that contain fluid and lead from the tooth root to the tooth’s nerve center called as pulp. When hot or cold touches these tunnels, the tooth fluid can excite the nerve, causing pain in your tooth.

Ways to prevent sensitivity:

• Brush (soft toothbrush) and floss your teeth twice a day to prevent gum loss
• Get professional cleaning done to avoid deposition of plaque and calculus
• Professional check-up for your sensitivity can help to diagnose and resolve the root cause of the problem

Fluorosis - causes,symptoms and treatment procedure

 Fluorosis is a condition that results in white or brown speckles on your teeth. It’s caused by overexposure to fluoride in the early years of life, when your permanent teeth are developing. Fluorosis is a cosmetic concern and isn’t harmful to your health. But there are treatments that can address the issue.

What are the symptoms of fluorosis?

Tooth discoloration is the only symptom of fluorosis. Discoloration can vary depending on the severity of your condition.

• Questionable: A few very light white flecks and white spots.
• Very mild: Light white areas covering less than 25% of your tooth surfaces.
• Mild: Light white areas covering less than 50% of your tooth surfaces.
• Moderate: White or light brown areas covering more than 50% of your tooth surfaces.
• Severe: White, light brown or dark brown spots affecting all surfaces. Your teeth may also have pitting (small depressions in your tooth enamel).

How do you get rid of fluorosis?

There are cosmetic dental procedures that can address fluorosis. The treatment that’s best for you depends on several factors, including the severity of fluorosis, your budget and your own personal preferences. Common fluorosis treatments include:

• Teeth whitening. Your dentist applies bleaching gel to your teeth for a predetermined amount of time. The gel lightens your tooth enamel so it blends in with fluorosis. While teeth whitening is an option for mild cases of fluorosis, other treatments may be more suitable for you.
• Dental bonding. During this procedure, your dentist uses tooth-colored composite resin to cover up fluorosis stains. Your teeth are then shaped and polished for natural-looking results.
• Dental veneers. Made from resin or porcelain, veneers are thin shells that adhere to the front surfaces of your teeth. Veneers are custom-made, so you’ll need to have dental impressions to achieve the correct fit and size.
• Dental crowns. Like veneers, crowns are custom-made. However, this type of dental restoration fits over your entire tooth. Your dentist will need to remove some of your natural enamel so the crown fits properly.
• Enamel microabrasion. During this procedure, your dentist removes a small layer of enamel from your teeth. This helps eliminate many fluorosis stains. Often, your dentist will follow enamel microabrasion with teeth whitening to make the color of your teeth even more uniform.

Your Jaw Muscles Are Tough!

 

Is Lemon Water Bad For Your Teeth?

 

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, the third molars at the back of the mouth, are the last adult teeth to come in. Most people have four wisdom teeth — two on the top and two on the bottom. When wisdom teeth become impacted, they don't have enough room to emerge or develop in the usual way.

Impacted wisdom teeth don't always cause symptoms. But when an impacted wisdom tooth becomes infected, damages other teeth or causes other dental problems, you may have some of these symptoms:

• Red or swollen gums.
• Tender or bleeding gums
• Jaw pain.
• Swelling around the jaw.
• Bad breath.
• An unpleasant taste in your mouth.
• A hard time opening your mouth.

What you can do to prevent?

You can't keep an impaction from occurring. But keeping regular six-month dental appointments for cleaning and checkups allows your dentist to watch the growth and emergence of your wisdom teeth. Regularly updated dental X-rays may show impacted wisdom teeth before any symptoms start.
