Tooth sensitivity

Research has shown that almost 3/4th of the population has sensitive teeth and that people are sensitive to hot or cold or sweet food and drinks. 

Tooth sensitivity takes place when our nerves are stimulated due to the wearing off of the outer enamel of our teeth. There are various ways of tackling this with some toothpase companies having pastes specialy for sensitive tooth. Even sugar free gums are available in the market which one can chew on after a meal to bring down the hyper sensitivity of the teeth. If the problem persist you should head to the dental hospital chennai.

Connection between obesity and dental care

Being overweight and obese is becoming increasingly common in India and we can see if happening in Chennai, Coimbatore and Pondicherry and other southern states in India. 

Not only does being overweight causes diseases like diabetes, heart diseases and cancer, but research has now started showing that it also has the probability of causing gum diseases.

As told in the article by Charlene Krejci researchers now seem to think that being overweight can also lead to gum diseases. Obese individuals produce proteins with inflammatory properties which can harm our gum tissues and also stop the gum from developing. This is why many doctors now suggest that its critical to go to your dentist one or two times annually to evaluate the risks of tooth loss and gum disease. Regular brushing and flossing can be a good deterrent to such diseases and prevention is always better. 

So are you going to start watching out on your diet now? And dont forget to visit your dentist in chennai

Invisalign braces, the invisible braces

Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom made series of aligners created for you. The aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually shift your teeth, into place based on the exact movements that we plan out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. In no time you can achieve the confident smile you always wanted and the best part about the whole process is that most people wont even know you're straightening your teeth. 

With regular braces, you may experience some or all of the following: pain, discomfort, mouth sores or injuries caused by the brace wires, tooth decay (from inadequate brushing and flossing), plaque buildup, tooth discoloration, tooth/bracket breakage, or difficulty eating. As if that weren’t enough, there are also the personal sacrifices — popcorn, chips, sweets, chocolates…plus apples, carrots, corn and more.

With Invisalign, the aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they're also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing, to eating whatever you like. With other devices, brushing and flossing properly can often take up to 30 minutes. Special occasion coming up? No problem — just take your aligners out for that time and pop them back in when you're ready. Of course, even when you're wearing them, most people won't even know you're going through treatment, because they are virtually invisible!

Think of your teeth as a window to the health of your body. Your teeth and gums — and how they look to others when you smile—say a lot about your overall health. If you're taking good care of both, you're probably taking good care of the rest of you.

Tooth decay and gum disease are caused by bacteria. Left untreated, they can cause mouth sores, tender or bleeding gums, bad breath, and possible tooth loss. Studies have shown that oral infections can also lead to other more serious ailments such as heart disease, stroke, pneumonia and diabetes. Invisalign aligners make daily oral hygiene easier, thus reducing the risk of possible problems. And correctly aligned teeth can also alleviate the issues that can be caused by an improper bite, speech or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel. Invisalign effectively addresses all of these orthodontic issues, so you'll have the confidence of a great smile and increase the likelihood of improved oral health.
