गर्मियों में स्वस्थ दांतों के लिए क्या उपाय हैं?

Dr. Priya Verma — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:32:43 +0000

जब गर्मियों का मौसम आता है, सभी लोग ठंडा, मीठा और एसिड वाली चीजें खाने और पीने शुरू कर देते है जिससे वह अपने पेट, मुँह और शरीर को ठंडा रखना पसंद करते है। बचे, बड़े सामान्य रूप में यह सब गर्मियों में खा तो लेते है जो अस्थायी होता है लेकिन जब ठंड शुरू होती है तो यह सब खाई चीजें दांतों को खराब करती है और दिकत को स्थायी बना देती है। यह जानना भी अच्छा है कि हमारे दंत स्वास्थ्य के लिए भी कुछ जोखिम हैं। ऐसा नहीं है कि गर्म मौसम ही दांतों को नुकसान पहुंचाता है, लेकिन तापमान बढ़ने पर हम जिस चीज से अपने दांतों को बचाते हैं, वह नुकसान पहुंचा सकती है।

दांतों की समस्या उन पेय पदार्थों और भोजन से अधिक होती है जिससे हम लू के दौरान आनंद लेते हैं। तीन मुख्य खतरे हैं:

चाहे वह आइसक्रीम में हो या ठंडी लट्टे में, चीनी दांतों को नुकसान पहुंचाती है। बैक्टीरिया को चीनी पसंद है, और जितना अधिक समय तक आपका मुंह मीठा रहेगा, उतने अधिक बैक्टीरिया पनप सकते हैं।
उदाहरण के लिए, फ़िज़ी पेय, फलों के रस और वाइन में पाया जाने वाला एसिड दांतों के इनेमल को कमजोर कर देता है, जिससे बैक्टीरिया दांतों की अंतर्निहित संरचनाओं तक आसानी से पहुंच पाते हैं। लार एसिड को निष्क्रिय करने में मदद करती है।

तापमान परिवर्तन के कारण दांतों का इनेमल फट सकता है। अचानक तापमान परिवर्तन के कारण थर्मल शॉक होता है। यहां तक कि धीरे-धीरे होने वाले तापमान परिवर्तन के कारण भी डेंटाइन और इनेमल थोड़े अलग दर पर फैलते और सिकुड़ते हैं। समय के साथ, दांत अधिक संवेदनशील हो जाएंगे और अधिक दागदार दिखेंगे।

गर्मियों में दांतों की समस्याएँ जो आप देखते हैं:

गर्मियों में अत्यधिक गर्म मौसम दांतों के फैलने का कारण बन सकता है। यह दर्दनाक हो सकता है और अक्सर दांतों की संवेदनशीलता के साथ भी हो सकता है। आप अच्छे मौखिक स्वास्थ्य और भरपूर जलयोजन से दर्द और संवेदनशीलता को शांत कर सकते हैं।
गर्म मौसम के कारण आपके मुंह की अंतर्निहित समस्याएं बढ़ जाती हैं। यदि आपके मुंह में सड़े हुए दांत में बैक्टीरिया हैं, तो गर्म मौसम उन्हें पनपने देगा और समस्या को बदतर बना देगा। यह बदले में दांत दर्द को ट्रिगर कर सकता है।
गर्मियों में खाने और पीने वाली चीजे उच्च चीनी सामग्री से भरी होती है। चीनी और बर्फ एक बहुत ही आकर्षक संयोजन बनाते हैं। यदि चीनी का सेवन अनियंत्रित रहता है, तो इससे दांतों में सड़न, दांतों में दर्द और मसूड़ों में घाव हो सकते हैं।
शीतल पेय दांत संबंधी बीमारियां पैदा करने का एक अन्य कारण है। इन पेय पदार्थों में शर्करा और एसिड का खतरनाक संयोजन प्रतिक्रिया कर सकता है और कैविटी और दांत दर्द जैसी समस्याओं को जन्म दे सकता है।
जब आप छुट्टियों पर होते है, आप अपनी सामान्य रूटीन से परे हो जाते है। जरूरी चीजें जैसे ब्रशिंग और फ्लॉसिंग करना भूल जाते है। यह आदत वापस आ जानी चाहिए ताकि एक स्वस्थ मुँह अभ्यास दैनिक जीवन का हिस्सा बने रहें।
निर्जलीकरण गर्मियों में एक आम सामान्य शिकायत। यह एक खतरे वाली मुँह की समस्या खड़ी कर सकता है। जब शरीर में पानी की सीमा कम हो जाती है, लार ग्रंथियां पर्याप्त लार का उत्पादन नहीं कर पाती हैं, जिससे मुंह शुष्क हो जाता है। यह न केवल असुविधा का कारण है, बल्कि यह मुंह में कीटाणुओं को पनपने का मौका भी देता है, जिससे बड़ी बीमारियां पैदा होती हैं।
कई लोग खुद को ठंडा रखने के लिए अत्यधिक ठंडे भोजन का उपयोग करते हैं। कुछ लोग कभी-कभी बर्फ चबाने की हद तक भी चले जाते हैं। हालांकि यह ठंडा और रोमांचक लग सकता है, लेकिन आप अपने दांतों को खतरे में डाल रहे हैं। किसी भी भराव, आवरण, या मुकुट को तोड़ने या बर्बाद करने के अलावा बर्फ को चबाने के सामान्य परिणाम बर्फ का टूटना और टूटना है।

गर्मियों में दांतों की सुरक्षा:

ब्रेन-फ्रीज फैक्टर को कम करने के लिए बहुत ठंडे पेय पीने की अनुमति दें
लार को प्रोत्साहित करने के लिए नियमित रूप से पानी पियें
सादा दूध एक स्वस्थ विकल्प है
अपने स्वयं के जमे हुए दही, शर्बत या बर्फ बनाएं ताकि आप सामग्री जान सकें
इनेमल को नष्ट करने वाले अम्लीय फलों और पेय पदार्थों से बचें या उन्हें सीमित करें
हानिकारक तत्वों को दांतों से दूर रखने के लिए स्ट्रॉ का प्रयोग करें
दिन में कम से कम दो बार मौखिक स्वच्छता का नियम बनाए रखें

क्या आप टूटे हुए दांत को प्राकृतिक रूप से ठीक कर सकते है ?

Dr. Priya Verma — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 06:30:00 +0000

हालांकि घर पर टूटे हुए दांत का कोई स्थायी समाधान नहीं है, लेकिन कुछ अस्थायी समाधान मौजूद है। दांत किसी भी तरह से क्षतिग्रस्त हो सकते है और यह क्षति आपके दांतों की स्थिति और चोट के प्रकार के आधार प्रकार पर मामूली या व्यापक हो सकती है। जब तक क्षति छोटी- मोटी न हो, दंत चिकित्सक को दिखाए बिना इसे ठीक करने का कोई स्थायी तरीका नहीं है। इस बीच सबसे अच्छी बात जो आप कर सकते है वह है दर्द को दूर करना और आगे की चोट से बचने के लिए अपने दांत और मुंह के अंदर की रक्षा करना।

एक मानव दांत कठोर इनेमल से बना होता है और आम तौर पर एक मजबूत आकृति होती है, हालांकि यह साधारण प्रभाव के कारण टूट सकता है। टूटे हुए दांत से निपटना एक परेशानी है: लगातार पीड़ा में रहने से जीवन की गणवत्ता कम हो जाती है।

टूटे/फूटे या चिपके हुए दांत का क्या कारण है?

एक दांत में कई कारणों से फ्रैक्चर या दरार हो सकती है। इस स्थिति को क्रैकेड टूथ सिंड्रोम कहा जाता है और यह या तो छोटी या हानिरहित होती है और दांत में खड़ी दरार छोड़ सकती है। बच्चों और बुजुर्गों में दांत का टूटना आम बात है। यहां बताया गया है कि कोई व्यक्ति इस समस्या से क्यों पीड़ित हो सकता है:

आयु कारक बहुत बड़ी भूमिका निभाता है: जैसे- जैसे व्यक्ति जीवन में आगे बढ़ता है, उसके दांत कमजोर हो जाते है क्योकि लगातार टूट- फूट से उनके क्षतिग्रस्त होने की संभावना बढ़ जाती है।
दन्त पीसने के कारण पड़ने वाला दबाव- जिसे ब्रुक्सिज्म भी कहा जाता है।
अनुचित भराव या बड़ा भराव जो दांत की अखंडता को हिला देता है।
बर्फ, कैंडी या मेवे जैसे कठोर भोजन को काटना या चबाना।
आघात के कारण प्रभाव जैसे कार दुर्घटनाएं, खेल चोटें, गिरना आदि।
यदि कोई व्यक्ति अधिकतम गर्म और ठंडे तापमान वाले खाद्य पदार्थ एक साथ खाता है तो भी दांत टूट जाता है; ऐसा करने से बचें, और स्वाभाविक रूप से, समस्या ठीक हो जाएगी और बिगड़ेगी नहीं।

टूटे हुए दांत को प्राकृतिक रूप से कैसे ठीक करें ?

टूटे हुए दांत को घर पर ठीक करना बुद्धिमानी नहीं है; यह एक संवेदनशील मामला है अगर इसकी देखभाल दंत चिकित्सकों पर छोड़ दी जाए तो बेहतर होगा। हालांकि, यहाँ टूटे हुए दांत के दर्द से राहत के लिए कुछ घरेलू उपचार दिए गए हैं:

दर्द या सूजन से राहत के लिए गाल पर आइस पैक रखें।
दर्द को प्राकृतिक रूप से ठीक करने के लिए टूटे हुए दांत के आसपास फ्लॉसिंग करके प्लाक और बचे हुए चिपचिपे खाद्य कणों को हटा दें। इसे अनावश्यक रूप से न छेड़ें।
गर्म नमक-पानी से कुल्ला करें। इस घोल से मुंह धोने से प्रभावित जगह से बैक्टीरिया हटाने में काफी मदद मिलती है।
यदि आपका दांत टूट गया है/टूट गया है या एक तरफ से टूट गया है, तो दर्द से राहत के लिए पेरासिटामोल जैसी दर्द निवारक दवाएं लें।
लौंग का तेल टूटे हुए दांत या दांत के कारण होने वाले प्राकृतिक दर्द को कम करने और ठीक करने के लिए जाना जाता है।
यदि आपका दांत टूटा हुआ है, तो अधिक पीसने के कारण होने वाले दर्द से बचने के लिए उस सतह पर जाली लगा लें। सिर को ऊंचा रखकर सोना दबाव और दर्द से राहत का एक और तरीका है।
अगर आप दांत में लगी छोटी सी चिप या दरार को ठीक करना चाहते है, तो आप उसके किनारे पर डेंटल वैक्स का इस्तेमाल आसानी से कर सकते है। यह किसी भी तेज धार से मुंह और उसके कोमल ऊतकों को नुकसान पहुंचाने से रोकता है। यह उपाय बड़े टूटे हुए दांत के लिए उपयुक्त नहीं है।

टूटे हुए दांत के साथ घर पर क्यों न करें ?

नेल फाइलर या सैंडपेपर का उपयोग करके किनारों को चिकना करने का प्रयास करें।
टूटे हुए दांत को स्वयं बाहर निकले।

अक्सर इन स्थितियों में डॉक्टर के पास जाना ही सही रहता है ताकि भविष्य में कोई दिकत न आए।

What are the reasons for the difference in dental health in men and women?

Dr. Priya Verma — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 12:07:14 +0000

Nowadays, people are suffering from different dental-related issues. A greasy and unhealthy diet and sticky food consumption are significant reasons for dental problems. A visit to a dentist after every six months is essential for oral life. You can have at least an idea about your dental health. The best dental clinic in Bangalore provides you with the best treatments.

What causes the disparity in oral health between men and women?

Men and women have several dental needs because of various biological, hormonal and behavioral factors.

Different hormones: A woman’s oral health is impacted by changes in her hormone levels at various stages of her life, including puberty, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. An increased risk of gingivitis and periodontal disease, for instance, can result from hormonal changes during pregnancy.
Oral hygiene habits: The dental health of men and women may differ depending on these behaviors. Gender differences can be found in various oral hygiene-related factors, including the frequency of brushing and flossing behaviors.
Anatomy: Variations in tooth size and jaw anatomy can affect dental requirements. Men typically have more enormous jaws and teeth.
Dietary Decisions: Men and women may have different dietary habits and preferences, influencing their chance of developing gum disease and cavities. For instance, women might drink and eat acidic meals and drinks more frequently, which can erode enamel.
Medical problems: Some medical problems might impact oral health and are more common in one gender than the other. For example, osteoporosis, which is more common in women, can cause the jawbone to deteriorate, raising the risk of tooth loss and other dental issues.

Why do women have better oral health than men?

There are different reasons for better dental health than men.

Heavy Drinking Increases the Risk of Periodontal Disease: Without routine dental checkups and cleanings, plaque buildup on the teeth and gum line occurs rapidly. Individuals who do not visit their dentist every six months frequently get periodontal disease because of hardened plaque.
Males Are More Known To Have Dry Mouth: Some drugs, such as antidepressants and blood pressure medications, can significantly affect saliva natural action naturally. Sal is vital in maintaining your enamel and managing microorganisms that cause cavities.

Men Use Their Teeth as Tools More Often: It is never a good idea to use your teeth to open objects, and men are far more likely to sustain harm. Using your teeth as tools to open bottles or rip open snack bags might lead to tooth cracks or enamel damage.
Regular Inspections and Cleanings Do Not Take Priority: Dentists advise visiting the dentist once every six months for routine dental cleanings and examinations. In these consultations, plaque and tartar buildup are eliminated, and possible problems with your mouth are examined.

What is Diastema and How Can You Get Rid of It

Dr. Priya Verma — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 12:23:30 +0000

Diastema refers to a dental condition in which you have a visible gap between your teeth. Both kids and adults can have this condition. This gap can be visible between any teeth. Consulting the best Dentist in Bangalore can be helpful to you. These gaps can get filled on their own sometimes in kids when their new teeth start to emerge.

People often dismiss diastema as a cosmetic problem. But it can be a serious dental threat.

Causes of Diastema

Natural Growth: Sometimes, gaps in the front teeth can be due to natural growth in kids. This gap is very common in kids between 6-8 years of age. This gap disappears most of the time due to the formation of upper canines in kids.
Abnormal Size, Position, and Shape of Teeth: The possibility of the gap is also enhanced with abnormal-sized or shaped teeth. Odd positioning can also contribute to it. This prevents the teeth from getting the support and strength to remain together.
Missing Teeth: Underdeveloped or missing teeth can also contribute to teeth gaps.
Outgrown Labial Frenum: Labial frenum is a dental tissue that covers the upper lip’s inside and the gum above the upper front teeth. Outgrowing of this tissue also leads to teeth gaps.
Periodontitis: It is a gum disease that damages tissues and teeth bone. Teeth get loosened up due to this infection, thus forming a gap.
Incorrect Swallowing Reflexes: Proper swallowing makes your tongue press against the roof of your mouth. If you swallow your food incorrectly by constantly pushing your front teeth with the tongue, it can form a gap.
Presence of tongue stud: If you get your tongue pierced, you can get your teeth formation disturbed due to budging of the stud.

Symptoms of Diastema

Here are the symptoms of diastema apart from gaps in teeth. These symptoms are:

Receding gums
Swollen and Tender gums
Bad Breath
Bleeding gums
Loose teeth
Bright Red Gums

Treatments for Diastema

You can get rid of this disease with the help of treatment. Children, however, don’t require treatment due to the falling of their milk teeth. If you don’t face any dental risk, then you don’t need to get it treated. You can also get it treated for cosmetic reasons too. Here is the list of treatments mentioned below:

Braces: This is the most commonly used treatment method. Braces put the pressure on teeth together to get closer to each other. However, you may need to wear a complete set of braces to fill a single gap too.
Veneers: A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain put on the surface of your teeth.

How to Prevent Diastema

Brush your teeth twice a day.
Floss once a day.
Break habits like thumb-sucking.
Maintain a proper swallowing method.
Get your teeth checked on a regular basis.

Gaps in teeth can be healed in childhood, but if they remain in your adulthood, then they should be treated to get rid of bad breath and other damages of this disorder.

Types and procedure of dental crowns

Dr. Priya Verma — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 09:05:24 +0000

A dental Crown is a customized-shaped tooth-like cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It is used in a situation when there is a gap between the teeth or the tooth is severely delayed, cracked, or weakened. It helps in bringing the aesthetic appeal of your smile by improving the condition of your teeth. For consultation, can check the best dentist in Bangalore.

Types of Dental Crowns

Several types of dental crowns can be used, depending on your requirements. Some common types include:

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns: These crowns have a metal base to make them strong, with a layer of tooth-coloured porcelain to give them a natural appearance. This form of the crown provides both strength and aesthetics.
All-ceramic crowns: These crowns are entirely made of ceramic material, as there is no use of metal. They are comparatively lightweight than PFM crowns but are not as durable as PFM crowns and need extra care.
Gold crowns: Gold crowns are made of gold alloy and are good for their longevity and durability. They are mostly used for the back teeth, where strength is important.
Zirconia crowns: The Zirconia crown is made of a strong and durable ceramic material called zirconia. They offer excellent aesthetics and strengths.
Temporary crowns: These are made of acrylic or stainless steel and used on a temporary basis to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is being made.

Procedure to get a dental crown:

Consultation: Consult a dentist who will examine your tooth and decide whether you need a crown or not. They will discuss and help you to choose the right type of crown for your needs.
Tooth preparation: The dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any kind of decay or existing filling material in order to accommodate the crown. Then, they will shape the tooth to give space to the crown.
Impression: The dentist will take an impression of your prepared tooth, which will be used to prepare a crown that will fit your tooth perfectly.
Temporary crown: Until your permanent crown is prepared, the dentist will put a temporary crown on your teeth. This temporary crown is not as durable as the permanent crown.
Crown placement: After your permanent crown is ready, you will be visiting your dentist again. The dentist will replace the temporary crown with the permanent one by carefully fighting the permanent crown onto your tooth. They will ensure that the fit, shape, and color of the crown are ok and comfortable.
Final adjustments: The last step will be the final adjustment the dentist will make to ensure a comfortable bite and proper alignment with your teeth. When everything is ensured good, the crown will be permanently cemented in place.

How long does the procedure take?

The dental crown procedure generally takes a couple of visits to the dentist. In the first visit, the dentist will be taking an impression of the tooth and will be fixing a temporary crown. In the next visit the dentist will be fixing the permanent crown on your tooth. In total, the entire process will take around a few weeks, with the actual chair time being a few hours. For more details, you can consult the Dental Specialist Doctor in Whitefield, Bangalore.

How does sugar affect the tooth?

Dr. Priya Verma — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 09:26:24 +0000

Dental problems are very common in this era because people prefer to eat greasy food and high-sugar food. Consumption of sugar damages your teeth properly in different ways. There are some common problems that occur with the consumption of sugar like cavities, infection in gum and bad breath. For the treatment of all these problems, contact the best dentist in Bangalore.

Is sugar bad for your teeth?

Consumption of sugar within a limit is beneficial for your health to maintain the sugar level in your body, but the overconsumption of anything is dangerous for your health. People who eat sugar on a daily basis are at higher risk of dental caries, especially when the food is sticky and consumed at mealtimes. Consumption of sweet snacks and sugar-sweetened beverages has a bad effect on the teeth.

Different types of sugar we consume

There are two types of sugar: natural sugar and free sugar.

Natural sugars: It is present in the structure of different products like grains, fruits, vegetables and milk.
Free sugar: It is also known as added sugars that are present in food and beverages. These are naturally present in honey. Syrips and smoothies.

What are the common sources of free sugar and added sugar?

Sugars are present in different types of food in different ways.

Sugary beverages like soda and energy drinks
Tea and coffee.
Fruit juices, syrups and concentrates
Sweets
Ice cream
Candies and chocolates
Packed snacks.

Types of dental problems that occur due to the consumption of sugar.

Consumption of sugar causes different dental issues.

Dental caries: Dental caries are also known as tooth decay. It occurs when acid attacks the enamel layer and forms a hole and cavities in the tooth. The consumption of sugar products forms this acid and there are a number of bacteria that are present in the mouth that destroy the tooth badly. Another reason for tooth caries is the presence of plaque; it is a sticky and thin film that repeatedly forms over the teeth. When sugar interacts with the bacteria present under the plaque, it produces acid, which is responsible for tooth decay. It is treated by cleaning and filling the tooth.

Bad breath: It is a very common problem that occurs because of cavities. Tooth decays are the main reason for bad breath. The medical term for bad breath is halitosis, which can be embarrassing. In some cases, it causes anxiety and depression. It is a short-term problem that can be treated with some home remedies. Usage of some mouthwashes that are made up of mint and fresh leaves is beneficial to reduce it.

Gum infection: Sugar hits dental health very badly. A layer of bacteria around the tooth is harmful to gums because it causes infection on the gums. This layer occurs because of the presence of sugar and other particles on the tooth. Scaling is the option for reducing the infection because it clears the bacterial layer on the gum.
