Bleeding Gums Redness - Gingivitis Explained

            Continuing with the last post in which importance of the Regular Dental check up and the Importance of brushing, I am putting forward this post as the most important symptom or Sign which comes when the disease starts appearing... 
         As explained it is the build up of Plaque and deposits over the period of time which then leads to the diseases process starting n happening... 
         Gingivitis is a very common oral health issue and is basically a mild form of gum disease. This mild gum disease causes soreness, redness and irritation of the gums. As gingivitis can be really mild, many folks in fact have gingivitis and are entirely unaware. Even though someone can have gingivitis without knowing, this doesn’t imply it ought to be taken lightly.
            Healthy gums are meant to be pale pink and firm, so if you notice your gums are red, puffy or bleed with ease, you should consider seeing your dentist because there is a chance you have gingivitis. The most common symptoms of gingivitis are soft, puffy/swollen and sometimes tender gums. Also, receding gums or gums that easily bleed can be indicators of this common condition.
            Also another major problem which comes to getting your teeth cleaned properly and not maintaining oral hygiene is the Bad Breath. Now we all know how detrimental it can be to your professional and personal relationships as well. 
            Done with that the best way to avoid Ginigivitis and Bad Breath is the maintainence of oral hygiene... Now wat does the maintaining oral hygiene means.... Great dental hygiene starts with brushing your teeth a minimum of 2 times every day, once after waking in the morning and again before retiring at night. Also, it is recommended that you floss every day. In addition, regular dental cleanings with your dentist or dental hygienist are strongly recommended within a good dental cleanliness regimen.
            If you begin to notice any of the symptoms outlined in this article, it is strongly recommended that you contact your dentist and book an appointment. The consequences of leaving gingivitis untreated are not something you likely want to experience.
                 Tommorow am planning to write bout the process of brushing and maintaining Oral hygiene... Till then Keep smiling n keep posting your comments and queries if any....

Why Regular Teeth cleaning is Important....



A simple talk with a friend of mine led me to write this for all of you... 

               The most important problem in the field of dentistry is the lack of awareness combined with the high costs... I cannot reduce the costs and believe me theres a direct relation between the quality of the treatment and the costs.... This blog and this article is a simple effort to explain why teeth cleaning and a regular dental check up is important...
            Practically every one of us wants to maintain great and wholesome teeth. Nevertheless, we still can’t evade oral plaque buildup and tartar regardless of how great we’re in taking good care of out oral and dental care wellness. Should you still feel that you simply teeth are not that clean in spite of typical brushing, you can always seek for a Professional Dental Check up. Professional dental practitioners use several methods to make sure that the teeth are in leading shape.
           Teeth cleaning could be regarded as as one of the most well-liked procedures becoming performed in a dental care clinic. Should you be doing the simple dental care care like teeth cleaning and flossing, it does not mean that you are already safe. If your teeth are misaligned, there are probabilities that there are corners, spaces and parts which can’t be gotten to by the bristles of a tooth brush.
            Teeth cleaning process is very crucial and very simple and should be performed following the assistance of a dentist. Generally, there’s seated oral plaque buildup as well as other food debris which can’t be removed when you brush. These, together with bacteria as well as other harmful pathogens can cause gum troubles and swollen gum around tooth. Gum and teeth troubles should be minimized and treated as soon as achievable to prevent larger troubles. 
          Also If you can get your regular teeth cleaning done you can actually save yourself from almost 75% of the dental problems... and so please go in for a regular dental check up every 6 months and also dental cleaning of teeth atleast once in a year... 
        Teeth cleaning is often performed to folks with poor oral wellness. If the dentist sees that you simply have the possibility to create periodontal(gum) diseases, teeth cleaning will probably be very much required.

What to Eat After Dental Surgery?


                   Good diet and nourishment is of utmost significance especially when a person is recuperating from a dental surgery. If one knows what to eat and eats the appropriate diet, it guarantees quick recovery and also reduces the possibility of excessive dry socket and blood loss. Post oral surgery phase is a very critical stage and must not be managed without the supervision of dental specialists. In case the patient has been prescribed some antibiotics, he may have to exclude dairy products from his diet chart. In fact, for a couple of days following the surgery the patient should go in for either drinking beverages such as tea or water or foods that are soft.

  • In the post dental surgery period, a person needs to know what to eat and must include sufficient amount of fibre and protein in the diet. Liquids should also form a predominant part of the diet. Good dietary liquids include nourishing fruit and vegetable juices, milkshakes, energy drinks, instant breakfast drinks and fruit smoothies.
  • Immediately after oral surgery, oatmeal, soft scrambled eggs, soft fruits, well cooked rice and cream of wheat should be included in the diet of the patient.
  • Avoid carbonated or aerated beverages, hot fluids and spicy food after oral surgery.
  • The patient must eat those food items that do not cause irritation to one’s surgery spot. Foods such as puddings, yoghurt, custard, vegetable broth, ice-creams, applesauce, cream soups, and mashed potatoes are soothing to the spot of surgery.
  • Anything that needs to be sucked should be stringently avoided as this can hinder the blood clot formation in the mouth, resulting in excessive bleeding.
  • Though meat and the dairy products are an excellent source of protein and energy, they need to be avoided. Instead, you can eat mashed potatoes, soft cheeses and tofu. Moreover, food items including canned fish, poached fish, hummus, meat loafs, mashed pinto beans and shredded meat are supposed to be included in the diet as they do not require much of chewing. Peanut butter, seed and nut oils are also recommended.

What to eat after dental surgery is an important query that needs to be addressed to every patient. The latest innovations in the field of medicine and pharmacy have made the surgical methods and process less agonising and more tolerable on the part of the patient. As the patient is under the influence of medication when he returns home, he must ensure that he sticks to the prescribed painkillers and must not eat anything without the approval of the doctor.
