Fluorosis

Fluorosis is a condition that affects the teeth. It Is caused by overexposure to fluoride during the first eight years of life. This is the time when most permanent teeth are being formed. After the teeth come in, the teeth of those affected by fluorosis may appear mildly discolored.

Symptoms :

Severe - Dark brown stains and rough, pitted enamel.

Mild - White opaque areas on the surface.

Causes:

-The stains were caused by high levels of fluoride in the local water supply.

-Inappropriate use of fluoride-containing dental products such as toothpaste and mouth rinses. Sometimes, children enjoy the taste of fluoridated toothpaste so much that they swallow it instead of spitting it out.

Treatments :

1.Tooth whitening

2.Crowns

3.Veneers

Prevention:

-At home, keep all fluoride-containing products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, and supplements out of the reach of young children. Only place a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on your child’s toothbrush.

-Use fluoridated water at a level that could prevent cavities but without causing fluorosis

People with these stains also had an unusually high resistance to dental cavities.

Choosing a toothbrush

• Your toothbrush should be the right size for your mouth and teeth - it should not be uncomfortable to clean your teeth.
• Your toothbrush should have bristles that stand up straight.
• You should replace your toothbrush every three months.

The two most important features are a small head plus end-rounded filaments.

Interdental brushes

Interdental brushes are becoming popular for people using larger spaces from between their teeth. These brushes enable you to clean the spaces between teeth where food and plaque can build up.

Electric toothbrushes

If you have had crowns, bridges and implants, the chances are you'll expect your restorations to last and may wish to consider investing from an electric toothbrush. People using poor dental hygiene may also benefit from using an electric toothbrush as there is evidence to show they clean teeth more effectively than manual brushing.

Horrifying to Happy visit.....

This type of dentistry is used for patients with dental anxiety, anxiety disorders, and other issues that make it difficult for them to be fully comfortable while receiving treatment from a dentist. Conscious sedation is a type of sedation in which the sedated individual can respond to verbal directions, but he or she feels little to no pain, and has an altered level of consciousness. After conscious sedation, the patient may feel drowsy and not remember much about the procedure. This level of sedation is used for dental procedures in which it is necessary for the patient to be responsive, and also for minor procedures which do not merit the use of general anesthesia, and for procedures involving patients who cannot cooperate with care providers. Conscious sedation dentistry is also offered to young children who may have trouble complying with requests from the dentist and the staff, and to adults who experience significant anxiety about dental appointments. Conscious sedation lets the patient recover quickly and return to their everyday activities soon after the procedure.
