5 common Dental Myths Busted!

 

Myth 1: Brushing Your Teeth vigorously

Aggressive brushing can cause abrasion, which means the loss of your tooth’s hard surface. Abrasion can cause severe tooth sensitivity and extreme toothache. Practice the right method and brushing techniques to ensure gentle yet effective brushing.

 

Myth 2: Teeth cleaning can cause tooth sensitivity and tooth loss

Some people cannot get rid of the plaque and yellow stain on their teeth surface. Dental cleaning helps them achieve the natural look of their teeth. It is a non-invasive procedure performed using an ultrasonic scaler. This scaler has a blunt tip which works under mechanical vibration for cleaning the tooth surface, plaque, and tartar. The vibration helps remove stains and tartar.

Myth3: I don’t need to see a dentist unless my teeth pain

One of the most common fallacies is the belief that dental visits are only required when something seems off. Actually, many dental issues, including infections, gum disease, and cavities can advance silently without any signs. For example, tooth decay sometimes begins small and painless. The cavity has probably gotten further into the tooth by the time pain or sensitivity arises, maybe calling for a more involved treatment like a filling, root canal, or even extraction.

Early detection and treatment of oral health problems depend on routine dental visits, which also help to prevent escalation of these problems. Maintaining at least twice a year visits helps you lower your risk of significant dental issues and preserve your smile over time.

 

Myth 4: Removing teeth from the upper jaw affects the eyes and brain.

The nerves associated with eyes are not connected with the nerves associated with the upper jaw. Therefore, it is the biggest misconception among the unknown patients that removing a tooth from their upper jaw will affect their eyes and brain cells.

Myth 5: Infants and children should not brush their teeth until five.

Brushing a child’s milk teeth is equally important as brushing off an adult’s teeth. After the eruption of their milk teeth, parents should encourage their children to use a soft-bristled brush every day. However, make sure you do not use ordinary toothpaste. Infants and children should consult a paediatric dentist to recommend toothpaste specialized and safe for children
