EWW!! BAD BREATH

 DO YOU SUFFER FROM BAD BREATH???

Bad breath also called as halitosis is an unpleasant odor originating from the mouth 

More than 80 million people suffer from bad breath. In most cases it originates from the gums and tongue.

The odor is caused by wastes from bacteria in the mouth, the decay of food particles, other debris in your mouth and poor oral hygiene.

The decay and debris produce a sulfur compound that causes the unpleasant odor

        

  CAUSES FOR BAD BREATH

1. Poor dental hygiene- infrequent or improper

 brushing and flossing

2. Volatile foodstuff - onion, garlic etc.

3. Alcohol

4. Systemic illnesses.

5.  Oral infection

6. Fasting
7. Stress/anxiety

8. Smoking – Smoking is the second most common cause  of bad breath.

9. Medication – often medications can

   cause xerostomia (dry mouth) causing bad breath.

 TreatingAnd Preventing Bad Breath:

Practice good oral hygiene, and flossing your teeth at least twice a day.

To alleviate odors, clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a tongue scraper.

Chewing sugar-free gum also may help control odor.

In case of dentures or a removable appliance, such as a retainer or mouth guard, clean the appliance thoroughly before placing it back in your mouth using denture cleansers.

 Use of non-alcoholic mouth rinse.

  Keep Teeth Healthy During Pregnancy

1. Be aware of pregnancy gingivitis symptoms. Expectant mothers experience hormone changes that can exaggerate the way gum tissue reacts Symptoms include gums that become swollen and bleed easily when brushed.

2. Don’t ignore dry mouth. Dry mouth is a pretty common side effect during pregnancy, but it’s not one to take lightly.                        Good saliva flow helps cleanse your mouth of food particles and bacteria. Stay hydrated & pay close attention to good oral hygiene habits such as brushing with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day & flossing regularly

3 Pregnancy “tumors” are nothing to worry about.  Good news: Though these sound scary, they’re just benign growths – not actually tumors – that result from swollen gums. Typically, they go away on their own.

4 It s safe to see the dentist when pregnant.

If you are pregnant and haven’t had a cleaning in the past year, it’s recommended you see your dentist during the first trimester for a dental cleaning and guidance on maintaining your oral health during your pregnancy. If dental work is needed, the second trimester is the safest time to get it done

 5.X rays should be avoided, but are acceptable, if necessary. Any procedure that can wait until after the baby is born – including X-rays – should. But emergencies happen; and when they do, dentists will take great care to expose moms-to-be to the lowest amount of radiation possible by protecting the woman’s neck and lap with a lead apron

5 Reasons to scrape your tongue everyday!!

5 Reasons to Scrape Your Tongue Every Day

#1 Improves the breath: 

Removing the bacteria, food debris, fungi, and dead cells from the tongue significantly reduces the odor from the mouth.  You may have been told to use your toothbrush for this purpose, but brushing the tongue does NOT efficiently remove all of the film that develops on the tongue.  You will be blown away the first time you  do this by the amount of gunk that comes off of the tongue.

#2 Improves your ability to taste:

Removing build-up from the surface of your tongue will better expose your taste buds.  This will lead to better enjoyment of the flavors of your food.  Ayurveda teaches that the better we enjoy and savor our food, the better our bodies digest and assimilate, leading to better over all health.  Also, Ayurveda teaches that blocked taste buds and tongue receptors interferes with our body’s ability to communicate with our brain about what types of foods we need to maintain our health, leading to false cravings.

#3 Avoid toxins being reabsorbed into your body:

As you sleep, your body is detoxifying.  Much of the film on your tongue is toxins excreted from your body.  You don’t want to re-ingest that do you?  NO!  Scraping your tongue first thing in the morning will remove this sludge from your tongue and from your body, improving your over all health and improving your immune system.

#4 Improves dental health:

By removing bacteria and toxins, you are also contributing to better dental health as well, leading to healthier teeth and gums.  The bacteria that you remove from your tongue are responsible for things like periodontal problems, plaque build-up, tooth decay, gum infections, gum recession, and even loss of teeth.

#5  Get to know your tongue:

Did you know your tongue is a mirror reflection of your internal organs?  Just like with hand or foot mapping, the tongue is mapped out to reflect various parts of your internal body.  You can learn so much about what is going on in particular areas just by looking at your tongue every morning.  Also, by scraping your tongue, you are actually stimulating and massaging those corresponding internal organs, just like in acupressure or acupuncture.  Pretty cool, huh?

TOOTH SENSITIVITY      

Hard To Ignore But Easy   To Treat

   Ever wonder why every time you have a spoonful of icecream you inevitably end up touching your face.

   Every time you sip on your fruit juice you sense a twinge in your mouth!! Here is the answer:

                                  “  your teeth are sensitive “

  

 Almost half the population experience sensitivity and it usually occurs due to wearing away of the enamel which is the outermost protective layer of the teeth.

Due to wear of the enamel there is exposure of the softer layer of teeth which is the dentin, which has tiny tubes that contain nerve endings which are filled with fluid.

Eating /drinking any foodstuffs that are hot or cold or any sweetened item cause this fluid to move, resulting in discomfort to the nerves causing: sensitivity.

It usually occurs due to receding of the gum line, caused by overzealous brushing or using an abrasive tooth paste

Those who have a habit of grinding teeth during stress or during sleep are at a high risk of developing Sensitivity as grinding too wears the enamel exposing the dentin

 Fruit juices and cold drinks are high in acidic content, eat away the enamel causing sensitivity.

                                    How To Reduce sensitivity

Avoid overzealous brushing, use soft bristled toothbrush

                                                                                 

Brush regularly with a desensitizing toothpaste

                                                                                 

Application of fluoride to sensitive areas of  teeth

Reduce the intake of acidic juices and fruits and when consuming

                                                                                

 Use a straw along with it so there is minimum contact with the teeth

                                                                                

 For those who have a habit of grinding teeth nightguard should be used

                                                                                 
Surgical gumgraft If root of the teeth has lost gum tissue 

                   

   Regular check ups at iDENT, will keep your teeth healthy and smiling.
