Can you avoid a root canal with antibiotics?

Image
Antibiotics are prescribed by dentists mostly for tooth infections that may or may not cause an abscess. Having said that not all tooth infections require antibiotics too. Most dentists would avoid the usage of antibiotics unless the infection is severe and spreading or if the person has a weakened immune system.  In the case of Root canal treatment, it needs to be understood that the treatment is done only because the infection has reached the deeper pockets of the root canal. So when infections are deep-rooted mere administration of antibiotics does not work. It needs to be mentioned however that in most cases after the root canal treatment is done, the root canal is washed with antibiotics to prevent the infection from spreading or to kill the germs present in the root cavity.

Image
Many of us have heard the term ‘root canal’ mostly because of its association with the root canal treatment procedure.

Interesting cases of extra canals in First Molar

Image
The maxillary (upper jaw) first molar, usually has 3 roots. Normally the first molar has only 3 canals. But this is not the case always. The occurrence of the 4th canal in the maxillary first molar ranges from 50.4% to 95%. The chances of getting a fifth canal are as rare as 2.25%. There have been reports of the presence of 6th and 7th canals also.  Root Canal treatment in such cases has posed as a challenge to dentists due to the complex anatomy of their roots and root canals. One of the main causes of root canal failure during the earlier periods of dentistry was the failure to completely locate and treat such complex root canals. Now with the advent of several advanced diagnostic and imaging tools, dentists find it less challenging to deal with such complex root canals.  Visit Expert Dental Care , the best laser dental clinic in Chennai for the best laser root canal treatment in Chennai .

How do dentist clean under your gums?

Image
All dentists would recommend you brush and floss your teeth every day to maintain good oral hygiene. But what if I told you that despite your efforts of brushing and flossing your teeth every day, you have not eliminated 100% of the food particles present in your mouth? Brushing helps in removing food particles and bacteria that are present over our teeth while flossing helps in removing particles from in between our teeth. But what about the food particles that get accumulated in pockets that are present in between our teeth and gums.  To remove particles from our gum pockets your dentist will recommend you to get deep cleaning. During a deep cleaning session, your dentist will first remove the plaque and tartar present above the gum line. Later the dentist will use certain specialized tools to reach down the gums and remove any unwanted particles. During this procedure, only some people might be given local anesthesia to numb the region. This is albeit rare and the...

Dietary choices for better oral health

Image
What children eat play an important role not just in giving nutrition to their body but also their oral health. While some foods can improve oral health others do the opposite. Fruits are healthy snacks but also contain sugar in them. So it is best to avoid eating fruits at night. Even if you consume fruits at night, remember to brush your teeth at night after consuming them. Sugar-based food and beverages and sticky and starchy food stick to the teeth and in that process provide fuel to oral bacteria This creates acid in the oral area which wears down the enamel layer of the teeth over time to cause decay. When the decay progresses they can infect the root canal. When the root canal is irreversibly damaged and the decay is complete, the total extraction of teeth becomes inevitable. So make wise dietary choices and make your children accustomed to such dietary choices only. Visit Expert Dental Care which offers the best root canal treatment in Kilpauk . Call Expert Dental C...

Preventing uneven brushing in children

Image
Children have a tendency to brush the same set of teeth when they are brushing. This uneven brushing can affect the oral hygiene of the children. Uneven brushing most possibly happens if the kids are not diligently taught to brush or if the teaching method was wrong in the first place. To address uneven brushing, encourage your kid to start brushing at a different tooth every day. This creates a break in routine and also makes a child conscious about their teeth. This, in turn, helps in maintaining proper oral hygiene. Maintaining good oral hygiene from childhood prevents tooth decay as they grow into adults.

Does Nighttime sancking cause tooth decay?

Image
Some people have an urge to grab a snack at odd times especially in the middle of the night. There are several studies that prove night time snacking can cause weight gain, increased insulin and cholesterol levels. But did you know that night time snacking can cause tooth decay? There are numerous reasons why people develop the habit of nighttime snacking. But regardless of the cause, nighttime snacking can damage your teeth and your overall health. Saliva contains antibacterial properties that prevent dangerous bacteria from causing tooth decay and gum diseases. During night time the flow or production of saliva reduces and creates a perfect condition for bacteria to thrive. Consuming food in the middle of the night can leave food particles and debris in your mouth. The bacteria in our mouth will feed on this food debris and secrete acids which will damage your enamel and cause tooth decay.  So avoid nighttime snacking.

Oral irrigators for crowded teeth

Image
Many people have trouble flossing their teeth. This may be due to the fact that their teeth might be crowded or crooked making it difficult for the flossing thread to navigate the crevices. It might also be painful for them. Oral Irrigators are a boon to such people. They are little devices that jut out a stream of pressurized, pulsating water inside the mouth targeting the crevices between the teeth. The pressure of the water blasts the plaque and food particles waiting to decay your tooth. Oral Irrigators can be used by anyone who is not comfortable flossing their teeth.  Visit Expert Dental Care which offers the best root canal treatment in Kilpauk .

லோக்கல் அனஸ்தீசியா என்று சொல்லக்கூடிய மரத்துப் போகும் ஊசியை போடு தான் ரூட் கனால் பல் சிகிச்சையை உங்கள் பல் மருத்துவர் செய்வார். இந்த சிகிச்சை முடிந்த பிறகு மரத்துப்போன உணர்வு மறைந்த பிறகு தான் உணவி எடுத்துக் கொள்ள பரிந்துரைக்கப் படுவார்கள். ஏனென்றால் நாக்கையும், உள் கன்னத்தையும் கடித்துக் கொள்ளாமல் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பதால். எந்த நேரத்தில் உணவு எடுத்துக் கொள்ளலாம் என்று உங்கள் பல் மருத்துவர் சொன்னதற்கு ஏற்ப உணவை எடுத்து கொள்ளுங்கள். பொதுவான விதியாக ரூட் கனால் சிகிச்சை செய்யப்பட்ட பல் எந்த பக்கத்தில் இருக்கிறதோ அந்த பக்கத்தில் உணவை மெல்லுவதை தவிருங்கள்.

Image
A clinical study conducted by the University of Helsinki in Finland established the connection between oral health in childhood and heart condition in adulthood. In this study over 750 young children aged 6,9 and 12 were studied about their oral habits and health. After 27 years, a further study was conducted on the same individuals in their adulthood. The study found that a heart condition called Atherosclerosis showed more occurrence for adults who showed more instances of oral infections in their childhood. So it shows that oral health is very important right from childhood. Visit Expert Dental Care which offers the best root canal treatment in Chennai .

Flossing around Dental Implants

Image
Dental Implants are made out of inert materials and so they are not affected by bacteria. So this leads to the assumption that people with dental implants need not floss their teeth.  Not true. Flossing helps in removing food debris from our mouth. Sticky candy, popcorn kernels, and other such foods can stick to the crowns of the implants like natural teeth. Although these foods will disintegrate over time, the process can take weeks. Without flossing, these food particles can irritate your gums and eventually can lead to periodontal diseases. So even though crowns fixed in an implant do not decay, the underlying gum can get affected if proper oral hygiene is not maintained. That is why it is important to floss your teeth even after getting dental implants. Visit Expert Dental Care which offers the best root canal treatment in Chennai .
