Do You Get Bled by the Dentist OR The Tooth??

YOUR BASIC BIRTH RIGHT TO DENTAL CARE

The consequences to ignoring dental care are serious. Dental care is not just about the mouth, but has a big impact on the health of the whole body. Any infection that takes root in our mouth has excellent access to the body through the air we breathe and also the bloodstream, and so our immune system then gets stuck dealing with never-ending problems, because it can't properly get at the source. This is clearly an area where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and too few people are aware of how important it is.

Apart from getting scared of serious consequences for dental disregard, we better make ourselves aware of the importance and obligation for Dental Care right from formative years covering childhood till the life span.

It's hard to convince people that "dental health" is just another kind of "health care" that has to be done.

So here are few guide lines for religious live-in practice day in and day out: It's up to us to live with them.

GUIDE LINES :

1. It is strongly recommended that we all, specially children during the first formative years of childhood undergo brushing about twice a day, preferably with a fluoride toothpaste. And religiously before retiring to bed.

2. It helps remove plaque and other debris from the tooth. The fluoride improves the crystallinity and decreases the solubility of enamel; it promotes remineralization and decreases acid formation of the enamel, and significantly reduces the incidence of tooth decay. It also helps diagnose cavities, root canals, broken teeth, and gum disease in time.

3. Avoid dietary habits which have at least as much to do with dental health as do regular cleanings and check ups. Avoid such traditional diet regimens that are extremely calcium deficient, or Vitamin C deficient (leading to severe gum disease), or both at the same time.

4. Clove oil is a tested and age-old grandma remedy for an aching tooth.

5. Til oil gargling is good for jaws, depth of voice and good taste for food. One will not get cracked lips, bad odour, sore throat or tooth ache.

====================================

Universal dental care ridicules the idea that the health of our teeth is somehow separate from the health of our body.

We sure do not want toothlessness to signify our culture or backwardness. The resultant lack of self-esteem inflicts the individual's personal and professional demeanor. As a public face of the family, it triggers an instant devaluation of the individual's and family's personality in the eyes of others. Think > it's more a cultural and educational thing.

And Second, dentists do not feel a cultural responsibility that comes with a profession. The dentists don't have this inculcated in any way during their training. On the contrary, they are taught to operate their practices solely as a business. It's cash on table proposition not covered by insurance.

…………….BABY TEETH………….

1. Primary teeth play an important role in chewing, speech habits, appearance and preserving space for a child's permanent teeth. Therefore, a safe, effective and agreeable method of preventive dental care is vital. For babies under the age of three years, parents are normally advised to dispense a specific quantity of fluoride toothpaste when they clean their baby's primary teeth. Initially, it is sometimes advisable to wipe the plaque off the baby's teeth and gums with damp gauze or a washcloth. Then, after the age of about one, when more teeth are emerging including the back ones, it is suggested that brushing may be introduced.

2. When a primary tooth emerges from the gums into the oral cavity, the enamel surface of the tooth always benefits from brushing it daily and/or a regular application of fluoride.

3. A baby's mouth has great physiological and psychological significance. In the first few years of a child's life, the mouth is an important source of need and stimulation, as evidenced conspicuously in the acts of eating, drinking and suckling. Recurrent episodes of a negative experience often prompt a parent to compromise or abandon all together a regimen of regular dental care for their baby. Later, the child may not become motivated to brush on their own.

4. Excepting in special circumstances, the Canadian Dental Association no longer recommends fluoride supplements for babies less than three years old. The American Dental Association recommends; only in special circumstances, a 0.25 mg. fluoride supplement for children aged six months to three years.

5. Think of getting a bite-guard for kids so that they do not batter their teeth more by grinding them at night.
