Dentistry is not expensive but neglect is!

Dental cost can definitely be kept to a minimal by practicing preventive dental treatment. This implies everything that can be done even before birth ,inutero like counseling to parents regarding maternal nutrition, importance of taking calcium supplements, mother’s oral hygiene, maternal infections, certain medications used during pregnancy and so on. After child birth ,breast feeding should be highly promoted. If bottle fed, use physiological nipples rather than the conventional ones as there is a huge difference between suckling and mere sucking of the bottle nipple .Latter can lead to many orofacial deformities as it does not allow proper movement of tongue and lower jaw. Mothers should be warned against inadvertent use of pacifiers and early childhood caries (nursing bottle caries) which occurs when child sleeps with milk in the mouth due to overnight feeding. Simple topical fluorides and pit and fissure sealants help to prevent caries in a child. Brushing should be supervised .Keep an eye on oral habits like thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing etc. Get a Dental check up done once in 6 months. Restore decayed tooth as early as possible. Do not wait for pain to get treatment done. Waiting will cost you more. Remember dentistry is not expensive but neglect is!

Are you doing it the right way?? We Dev dental care a leading dental clinic in Calicut provides lot of tactics to overcome your teeth problems. We are one of the leading Dentist In Chalappuram Calicut. 

Brushing is the most simple and recommended way of keeping one’s mouth fresh and clean. But unfortunately many of us do not know the correct way of brushing. Let us discuss it now.
Place your toothbrush at 45 °angulation to the gumline and move in small circulars motion(2/3teeth at a time) and flick the brush down away from the gumline. Repeat the same on inner surface. Then brush the chewing surface using back and forth movement. 2 min brushing twice daily is mandatory. Do not scrub brush the tooth horizontally as this can cause wedge shaped defects on tooth and loss of enamel ,which is the main cause for sensitivity. Brushing should be followed by massaging your gums with finger tip. Powered toothbrushes are now available for enhanced cleaning and for those with limited dexterity.

Few more tips to add

Replace brush every 6 months or when bristles start to fray
Use the right brush and right tooth toothpaste.
Brush your tongue as well.

Today we are going to know about ORAL HABITS IN CHILDREN

Oral habits are acquired as a result of repetition initially in a conscious level and later enter into realms of unconsciousness. Common oral habits and their dental sequelae are discussed here.
Prolonged thumb sucking and tongue thrusting forward while swallowing are habits very commonly seen in children. When not intervened ,problems like teeth proclination, open bite, and narrow arches can result.
Mouth breathing habit can be habitual or anatomic due to defect in lip morphology or due to nasal obstructions. Child may have long narrow face (known as adenoid facies) .Dry mouth predisposes them to dental caries and gum problems too.
Bruxism or night grinding of teeth causes teeth wear, fracture of tooth and fillings ,jaw pain etc. Other habits seen are lip biting ,nail biting etc.
Treatment aims to remove the cause first then breaking the habit using appliance therapy and correction of malocclusion using removable or fixed orthodontic treatment. Behavior modification, reminder therapy ,psychological approaches are all part of the treatment program.
Oral habits can have deep rooted psychological impact on children. Hence need for early intervention and essential care should not be overlooked upon.
