Baby Teething

Baby teething is one of the most painful processes that a baby has to go through, and this usually happens between six to nine months. The process varies for each baby: one may have to go through a painful process, while others may just grow the tooth overnight, without pain.

The early symptoms for baby teething are drooling, biting on something they can mouth around, coughing that is caused by the extra saliva produced, cheek rubbing, and ear pulling. Other symptoms that are more evident are seeing lumps in the gums for several weeks or so. The gums where the tooth is growing can also begin to look sore. Children may not sleep as soundly during the daytime and night time because of the pain of the tooth forming in the gums.

Proper brushing and visiting the dentist occasionally can help us prevent gum diseases and eventually lose teeth. The reason why people suffer from gum diseases is because of poor oral hygiene. Brushing the teeth alone is not enough. We must also learn how to take care of our gums.

Imagine all the food and drinks we take everyday which causes the buildup of plaque. If we don’t brush them properly, the plaque gets stuck in our teeth and gums. If the plaque is not removed from our teeth within 24 hours, they turn into tartar. Tartar can only be removed by dentists, and we usually don’t have time to visit the clinic frequently. The worst cases could follow: like gingivitis, and the worst gum disease: periodontal gum disease. Simply put, this means the excessive formation of bacteria around the teeth. Before we even know it, they are already destroying our gums and bones, so we end up losing teeth.

“Afraid of the Dentist?”

Aside from the obvious fact that visiting our dentists will help keep our teeth and gums stronger, there are other important things that we should bear in mind. Take a middle-aged guy named Robert, for example, who has a fear of going to dental clinics. If we have a fear of going to the dentist, the tendency is to rely on pain relievers even if the toothaches are getting worse. But here’s the lowdown on what to expect during a good dental appointment.

A good dentist asks his patient about his fears. In our example, Robert should confess his fears to the dentist so he’d know exactly how to deal with the problem and how to conquer the fear. If it’s the pain that he’s worried about, then the dentist should explain the more improved and modern techniques in dentistry. The presence of anesthesia can also ease the pain and discomfort, and this will enable the dentist to treat the patient properly.

If the patient knows that he has cavities or areas that need to be treated, then Robert doesn’t have to wait for the dentist to detect it (and secretly wish he misses the spot). The patient should tell the dentist directly so the proper treatment may be advised.

Due to the hectic schedule of people who are always on the go nowadays, they tend to write off “visiting the dentist” in their list of things to do. Whether it’s for cleaning the entire teeth, or just to get new filling, here are some of the most important reasons why we should go to the dentist.

A simple scenario: Michael has been experiencing a weird sensation on his gums every time he drinks something cold or when he eats chocolates. He regularly brushes his teeth and even flosses afterwards. But since his work entails a lot of traveling, Michael doesn’t usually have time to pen his dentist appointments on his planner. After a couple of months, he has recurring headaches that he mistakes for stress. When he couldn’t take it anymore, he consults his doctor and alas, the headaches were from his teeth that needed to be filled up. Upon visiting the dentist, Michael was told that the damage was already severe, and that the tooth couldn’t be saved anymore and needed to be extracted.

Don’t wait for this to happen. We should visit the dentist for a number of important reasons: to prevent gum disease, oral cancer, and to keep all your teeth. Remember that by not visiting the clinic, we are not eliminating the pain rather prolonging it, because sooner or later, the damage to the gums and teeth would be more painful. We might also suffer from other gum diseases like periodontal disease and end up losing all our teeth.

Loose Teeth

loose teeth

The appearance of loose teeth is a common problem not only among older people or adults, but also among the younger crowd nowadays. The usual reasons for loose teeth are gum diseases, habitual teeth grinding, incorrect chewing habits, and trauma to teeth brought about by accidents. Bruxism, which is also known as uncontrollable teeth grinding, are usually brought about by stress, psychological problems, or other medical problems. Since this happens during sleep, the clenching of teeth harms the gums, which eventually lead to loose teeth.

One of the early signs of loose teeth is bleeding gums. The worst that can happen to your teeth is having spaces between them, or if the teeth become untreatable, they have to be extracted.

Preventing loose teeth is actually quite simple: the key is good oral hygiene. Brush the teeth three times a day and floss afterwards. Regular visits to the dentist are also a must, not only to check and see if we have cavities, fluoride applications, but also for cleaning hard to reach places, and to maintain healthy gums.
