Natal Teeth – MYTHS

Occasionally a child is born with teeth, these are called natal teeth.
MYTHS:
1. Born with two teeth in his mouth an omen that he will be strong, fierce and harsh, but without fear.
2. England- children born with teeth will grow into famous soldiers.
3. France and Italy - they will “get on in the world”.
4. Sweden- they can cure an injured finger if placed in the mouth.
5. China - If a baby is born with teeth, it is an ill omen for the family. When the precocious teeth begin to bite, one of the parents will die. If it is a boy, the father, if a girl, the mother.
6. Italy and Germany - The one whose teeth grow early, will sink early into the grave.
7. African tribes - Natal teeth are not only foretell disaster to the child, but to anyone with whom it comes into contact.

All there are false notion. This omen is an angel for us….

Mucocele

Mucocele are tiny sacs under the tongue or other areas inside the mouth that are filled with fluid. They are not generally harmful but can cause discomfort and stress on the person inflicted with it. Mucocele usually goes away within 3 to 6 weeks.

Symptoms:
A bump in the tongue or in other areas of the mouth
Translucent to bluish in color
Soft bump although mucocele can also be hard
Swollen
Painless
May cause swallowing difficulties

Caused by:
Mouth injury
Habitual biting of the lip and other mouth areas
Frequent chewing

Treatment :
The best treatment of mucocele is to leave it alone since it will disappear after a few days to a few weeks. Whether you have mucocele or not, avoid biting or sucking your lips.
To avoid mouth injuries, eat properly by chewing your food well before swallowing.
mucocele usually is removed by surgery [scalpel or laser]. There is a chance that after the mucocele is removed another one may develop.

Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common facial pain syndrome. It is characterized by a sudden attack of facial pain described as intense, sharp, like an electric-shock, or stabbing. The pain is most commonly felt in the cheekbone, most of the nose, upper lip and upper teeth and, in some people, it also extends to the lower lip, and chin. Pain is usually felt on one side of the face and lasts from a few seconds to two minutes. Trigeminal neuralgia is the most frequently occurring nerve pain disorder.

The trigeminal nerve is the 5th and largest of the cranial nerves. It provides nerve sensation to the face, mouth, and the front of the scalp as well as controlling the muscles involved in chewing.

The average age of onset is between 50 and 70 years old, though it can be seen in younger people as well. The incidence of trigeminal neuralgia gradually increases with age. Almost twice as many women are affected by trigeminal neuralgia as men.

The primary goals of treatment for patients with trigeminal neuralgia include:
Controlling the symptoms.
Relieving severe facial pain.
The surgical treatment options that are available for patients with intractable trigeminal neuralgia that cannot be adequately controlled with medications.
