Retain, Retain, Retain

My last conventional orthodontic patient.
Why?
Some patients aren’t compliant. Then they’ll blame the Dr for things they should be doing. For #1 SHOW UP TO YOUR APPOINTMENTS! Be consistent and hold yourself accountable

I really want the general public to STOP blaming pregnancy as the cause of their bad dental health.

Yes, pregnancy can increase the RISK of tooth decay but does NOT directly cause cavities. The hormonal and lifestyle changes can make the mouth more vulnerable to oral infections.

1. Acidity from morning sickness
2. Some pregnant women experience dry mouth (decreased salivary flow)
3. Hormonal changes - increase in estrogen and progesterone can increase inflammation in the gums. This can also cause more plaque build up
4. Changes in diet - if an increased amount of sugary items are consumed, this sugar feeds the bacteria that causes tooth decay
5. Neglecting proper oral hygiene - nausea and fatigue can make brushing and flossing difficult. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is of utmost importance so that cavities do not occur.

Please share and educate others as much as possible.

Interesting developments in the field of dentistry with relation to dementia.
We should know that periodontal disease is related to heart health.
Periodontal disease is one common attribute in patients with cardiovascular disease.
With this most recent study, it shows how periodontal disease can also be found in Alzheimer’s patients.
Dental health is very important in the overall health of the mind and body.

I’m still a novice in implant dentistry.

This is actually my 2nd overdenture case and I never experienced this issue before.

It took some instruction by my fellow Sister Doc to get my patient back in order but it was done.

My patient is chewing again😬
