By our guest author,

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 IS THE HASSLE ABOUT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE?

Being in the middle of a pandemic, we think this would be the best time to discuss antibiotic over usage. To dodge another possible pandemic, it is high time we use the antibiotics in our hands wisely. New resistant strains of bacteria are growing so fast that we are running out of antibiotics to treat them. WHO has released a list of bacteria for which new antibiotics are needed. HOW DO ANTIBIOTICS WORK? To make something clear, not all antibiotics kill all bacteria. Certain antibiotics are effective against certain bacteria. To simplify, these antibiotics specifically target the components or a particular process of microbes which is not found in the host (humans). Generally by studying the symptoms or nature of the infection, the likely causative organism is decided and apt antibiotics are given. In unfamiliar scenarios, pus culture is done to find out the causative organism. ANTIBIOTICS IN DENTISTRY: Use of antibiotic...

What you should know about teeth-spacing?

Don't we all dream of a perfect set of teeth without spacing or crowding? Well spacing is common in children and mostly gets corrected by itself as permanent teeth come in.

FOODIES....ALERT!

Many food substances you think that are healthy for your body are not exactly doing good for your teeth. This doesn’t mean you should stop eating them. Especially now that we all stay in our home, we can’t keep our hands off those snack shelves. But you can make few modifications and you are good to go.
