💥 [Overbrushing Teeth]
I have been practising dentistry for 16 years in Singapore CBD (Tanjong Pagar).
One of the most common cause of teeth sensitivity nowadays is overbrushing and wearing away of healthy teeth. This can lead to severe teeth sensitivity and gum recession.

How can you prevent this from happening at your home?
1. Avoid sawing action when brushing teeth. Use the modified bass technique to brush.
2. Always use a toothbrush with soft bristles
3. Do not press down hard when you brush your teeth. Go easy with your hand pressure.
4. The yellow colour that you see near the gums is the natural colour of root and tooth. Do not mistaken that as decay and end up brushing harder and causing further tooth wear.

If your teeth is already worn down, you can do the following....
1. See your dentist for a filling to replace the worn off tooth surface.
2. If the wear or sensitivity is minimum, you can use toothpaste for sensitive teeth and monitor the area. Simply apply the toothpaste to the sensitive area. Leave it there for 5-10mins. After that then do your normal brushing. Do it for a few days till sensitivity decreased.

Hope this sharing helps.

Health Sec. Duque recently announced that dentists can resume operations but with strict health compliance. With that in mind, we are sorry to announce that OUR CLINIC IS NOT YET COVID- READY. Numbers of covid + are rising, most are asymptomatic and there is no mass testing yet and we have to treat everyone as PUM's even after triaging procedures.

The PDA (Philippine Dental Association) came up with protocols and proper clinic set-up to ensure the safety of everyone. Please allow us time to modify our clinic and to purchase necessary equipments like filters, proper ppe's, etc; which are hard to come by because of limited supply, lacking manpower and restricted movement brought about by the ECQ. Most of our procedures are aerosol generating thus careful modifications and adjustments are necessary to prevent cross-contamination (we have families to think about and to care for).

Please bear with us at these trying times. You can PM us if you need to consult.
Thank you. 🙏🏻

Do you see the orange color in this photo?
That is the aerosol that may carry the virus.
This might be a result of a simple tooth restoration or cleaning.

Our dental chairs are capable of producing aerosols which makes the virus airborne in a dental clinic. This is why almost all clinics except for those in the hospitals have ceased their operations.

To our dear patients,
Stay home and stay safe.
We will reschedule all your appointments to a later date after the community quarantine.
Keep safe!
