If your child has Allergies and uses Inhalers, you need to BE AWARE!!

Points to remember for those who are using inhaled sprays for Asthma, Allergies and Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disorders.
1) Ask your doctor for inhalers with spacer device so that the bulk of the drug does not get deposited in the oral cavity.
2) Visit a dentist to understand about special precautions in terms of oral hygiene practices that include brushing and flossing.
3) Ask your dentist for Sodium fluoride mouthrinses that counteract the acidic nature of the dry powder inhalers or anti-microbial mouthrinses such as chlorhexidine. They may prescribe salivary substitutes if the dry mouth is severe
4) Immediate brushing of the teeth after using inhalers should be avoided as it may damage the already weakened enamel due to acidic pH.
5) Restrict sugary foods and drinks between meals, avoid refined carbohydrates and increase the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fibrous food.
6) Your dentist should be able to advice you on pit and fissure sealants, fluoride varnishes and gels that would potentially help to reduce oral health problems.
7) Do not continue inhaled medication on your own without regular follow up as it can parallelly cause harm.
8) Please understand that sometimes, medication alone may not solve the root cause of the problem and ENT surgery along with dental treatment may be a medical necessity.
9) Some children may need to have their upper jaw expanded as well, so that there is reduced airflow resistance.

Pre-Radiation and Post Radiation for oral cancers

1) Identify teeth that may be broken, decayed, those having gum disease,
sharp edges or overhangs of restorations

2) Check if there are any removable partial/ fixed prosthesis which are of poor quality and may need to be removed before radiation

3) All extractions to be done 10-21 days before radiation to prevent osteoradionecrosis .

4) Preradiation fluoride prophylaxis, prescription of high fluoride toothpastes, salivary substitutes and oral prophylaxis instructions to be given. Anticipatory guidance regarding oral mucositis and obturator prosthesis post radiation helps patients cope with the treatment.

Oral cancer can have various causes in adults, and while some factors can increase the risk, it's important to remember that not everyone with these risk factors will develop oral cancer. Here are some common causes and risk factors associated with oral cancer in adults:

1. To***co Use: Smoking ci******es, ci**rs, pipes, or using smokeless to***co significantly increases the risk of developing oral cancer.

2. Alcohol Consumption: Excessive and long-term alcohol consumption is another major risk factor for oral cancer.

3. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: Certain strains of HPV, particularly HPV-16 and HPV-18, have been linked to an increased risk of developing oral cancer.

4. Sun Exposure: Prolonged and unprotected exposure to the sun, especially to the lips, can increase the risk of lip cancer.

5. Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, can contribute to the development of oral cancer.

6. Chronic Irritation: Chronic irritation of the oral tissues, such as from ill-fitting dentures or constant irritation from sharp teeth, may increase the risk.

7. Age and Gender: The risk of developing oral cancer increases with age, and men are generally more susceptible than women.

8. Poor Diet: A diet lacking in fruits and vegetables, and low in essential nutrients, may contribute to an increased risk of oral cancer.

If you have concerns or suspect any symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

Braces, also known as orthodontic braces, are dental devices used to correct the alignment and positioning of teeth. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to apply gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Braces are commonly used in children and teenagers, although adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. Let's discuss the importance of braces for children, as well as some facts and myths associated with them.

Importance of Braces for Children:

1) Correcting Misalignment: Braces are primarily used to address malocclusions, which are issues with the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Misaligned teeth can cause difficulties with biting, chewing, speaking, and maintaining proper oral hygiene. By correcting these misalignments, braces help improve dental health and function.

2) Enhancing Aesthetics: Crooked or protruding teeth can impact a child's self-esteem and confidence. Braces can straighten the teeth, creating a more appealing smile and improving overall facial aesthetics. This can have a positive impact on a child's self-image and social interactions.

3) Preventing Dental Issues: Misaligned teeth can contribute to various dental problems, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw joint disorders. By aligning the teeth properly, braces help reduce the risk of these issues, promoting long-term oral health.

4) Jaw Development: In some cases, braces are used to guide the growth and development of the jaw. By applying controlled forces, braces can help align the jaws properly, improving facial symmetry and overall oral function.

When a baby is born with a cleft lip and palate, it can affect the structure and appearance of their lips, jaws, nose as well as their ability to breathe,speak and feed properly.

The PNAM (Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding) gently lifts and molds the nasal tissues, which can reduce the size of the cleft and improve the baby's nasal symmetry and breathing.

Dental professionals trained with nasoalveolar molding can help reduce the size of the cleft achieve better surgical outcomes and improve the overall appearance and function of the nose. The procedure is started within a few days of birth and works best in babies under 4 months of age as their nose cartilage can be moulded easily.

Pre and one month results of ongoing treatment are illustrated.

We have all heard of 🦷 Avulsion,but what is 🦷 Evulsion?

Tooth evulsion or ablation is a cultural tradition practiced by some communities, particularly the Maasai people of Kenya. It involves the removal of healthy teeth, often shortly after they have emerged, for various reasons, including beauty and the ability to produce specific linguistic sounds.

While tooth evulsion or ablation has been practiced for centuries and is deeply ingrained in the culture of these communities, it is not an ethical or recommended procedure by dental health professionals. The removal of healthy teeth can lead to long-term negative effects on oral health, such as misaligned teeth and jaw problems, which can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty in eating and speaking.

Instead of tooth evulsion or ablation, it is crucial to prioritize proper oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Good oral hygiene includes brushing teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily, and limiting the consumption of sugary foods and drinks. Regular dental checkups are important to identify and address any dental issues early on, preventing them from becoming more severe.

In conclusion, while tooth evulsion or ablation is a cultural practice, it is not an ethical or recommended procedure by dental health professionals. Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups are the key to maintaining healthy teeth and gums, and should always be prioritized.

A mouth guard is a protective device worn in the mouth to help prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw during contact sports or any physical activity that poses a risk of collision. In children, using a mouth guard is particularly important because their teeth and jaws are still developing and are more vulnerable to damage.

The use of a mouth guard can help reduce the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the mouth and tongue, and jaw fractures. It can also help prevent concussions and other head injuries by absorbing the shock of impact and distributing it evenly.

For children with orthodontic appliances like braces or retainers, wearing a mouth guard is especially crucial as a collision can cause significant damage to the brackets and wires, leading to costly repairs and extended treatment times.

In summary, a mouth guard is a simple and effective way to protect your child's teeth and oral health during sports and physical activity. By investing in a mouth guard, you can help prevent painful injuries, avoid costly dental procedures, and keep your child safe while they enjoy their favorite activities.

Taking a child with autism to the dentist can be challenging, but with patience and understanding, it's possible to make the experience less stressful. Here are some tips to make the visit a success:

1. Schedule the appointment at a time when your child is less likely to be tired or overstimulated.

2. Talk to your dentist ahead of time to let them know about your child's special needs.

3. Consider bringing along sensory items, such as headphones or a weighted blanket, to help your child feel more comfortable.

4. Practice at-home dental care with your child to help them become familiar with the process.

Remember, every child is different, so what works for one child may not work for another. Be patient and don't give up!
