               Hello everyone, in this post we are not gonna discuss any dental tips but we are here to talk about how people are suffering from severe dental pain in this locked down situation and seeking a dentist to help them. Now to enlighten you with the details.



             Take a few minutes to read this full blog to get the basic knowledge about your oral care which is neglected by many... (some people would have known about it but haven't taken proper actions to care about their own self and their family members)

People tend to say any one of these reasons to not to visit a dentist...
1) I don't have pain, so my teeth must be healthy - isn't it?

         The dental problems will not show any symptoms at an early stage - so if you are waiting for pain/swelling/unbearable discomfort to visit a dentist. It means that you are waiting for severe issues to come.
2) I don't have time to visit a dentist because of my work nature - please understand nothing is more important than self-care and health

        As the saying goes, never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. You can never go a day without using your mobile phones. Even if it gets a problem you get it repaired so quick. Why can't you give the same amount of care to your teeth!
      It's just matter of priorities.

 3) Dentists are expensive - oh really?

      If you follow a proper oral care routine and have regular dental visits, you can prevent time consuming dental procedures which can cost you more - the reality is all people are visiting a dentist only when they have visible symptoms like severe pain or unbearable discomfort in their mouth.

4) Dental Phobia (Fear of visiting a dentist or taking dental treatments) 

          Don't panic - almost all dental treatments can be done without pain (or very little discomfort) using advanced technologies and best materials. SO JUST RELAX and the important thing is maintenance and care from the early stage of life will prevent you from extensive dental treatments😀     Stay Home. Stay Safe.

What’s the rush when you brush!

By The Dentist
   We have been brushing our teeth since the time we could remember. But do you really know how to brush properly or why we do it? Here we are with some perception of proper brushing to keep you free from decay and gingival problems. Why do we brush?    All hail the plaque!   Plaque is nothing but a mass of bacteria that sticks to the tooth surface in the mouth. At first it is usually colourless but with time it becomes resilient and changes into yellow-greyish colour.   The number of bacteria in a single tooth surface can exceed 10‍ 9 cells. They are found in colonies (biofilm). Tooth brushing removes most but not all bacteria.    This plaque build-up causes gum diseases (gingivitis) and decay. When plaque is left for a longer time without cleaning, this can even affect the bone around the tooth.    Plaque can be present both above and below the gum line. Hence it is important you have a precise oral health...
