📍Have you heard of periodontitis?
It is the inflammation of periodontium.

📍So what is Periodontium?
Periodontium involves the gums, bone and other
supporting structures of teeth.

📍How does it become inflammed?
It is caused by plaque which is a sticky, colourless film of bacteria that builds up on the teeth, particularly at the necks of teeth where they meet the gums. Plaque accumulation causes inflammation of the gums, which in turn may become red, swollen and prone to bleeding. At this stage it is called gingivitis.
When the plaque is not still being removed, it will harden to
become tartar also known as calculus. The bad bacteria make this as their home. In the more advanced stages, bone and its supporting structures may be damaged and is called periodontitis. If not treated, eventually it lead to tooth loss.

🔑How to avoid the situation?
-Regular professional cleaning with your dentist every 6 months.
-Brush twice a day.
-Use of floss/interdental brushes/waterpiks.

HAPPY MONDAY!☺️

Let's talk about dental implants today.🦷
Dental implants are used to replace one or missing teeth within the mouth.

✅AM I ELIGIBLE?
Your dentist will assess whether this treatment is right for you.Multiple factors would be taken into consideration. They will assess the status of the teeth and gums, availability of bone in the area, smoking history, medical conditions and medications you are taking.

▪️SINGLE TOOTH
An implant is placed into the gap left by the missing tooth.

▪️MULTIPLE TEETH
Replace the missing teeth without alteration of adjacent teeth.

a) Implant Fixed Bridge
Two or more implants are placed into the bone and joined together by an artificial bridge made of crown that is connected side by side.
The number of implants needed, would be dependent on the number of missing teeth and is determined by your treating dental practitioner.

b) Implant Supported Denture
A full denture which replaces all the teeth in one jaw, can be held in place by dental implants. They are well suited for patients with missing either all upper teeth or lower teeth.

⌛️MAINTENANCE
It is important to care for the implants much like your natural teeth. Implants can be affected by gum disease, in the same way the teeth are.
💎Good oral hygiene is required. Use of dental floss, rubber tip, interdental brushes may also be employed other than normal toothbrush. 🪥
💎Professional maintenance is also important. Dentist will use special tips to clean implant surface.

Is this happening to you?

Sensitivity toothpastes work by either covering up exposed dentinal tubules or by desensitizing the nerve endings in the dentinal tubules. Sensitive toothpastes also contain fluoride, which has been shown to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.
You also need to check your teeth with your general dentist to find the cause of sensitivity.

Use of SPF lip balm to prevent sun damage and risk of lip cancer.

To protect dry, chapped lips from the sun, use lip balm that contains offers SPF 30 or higher and one (or both) of these sun-protective ingredients:

Titanium oxide
Zinc oxide

While outdoors, generously apply the lip balm every 2 hours.

Drink plenty of water. Chapped lips are dry lips, so you want to stay hydrated.

Stop licking, biting, and picking at your lips. When lips feel dry, it may feel natural to wet them by licking them, but this can worsen the problem. As saliva evaporates, your lips become drier.
