Teeth Protection

What Exactly Is
Teeth Protection

We have heard a lot of time, “Prevention is better than cure”. At our clinic, our prime focus is also on prevention and conservative dental treatment .Deciduous teeth are not as hard as permanent teeth, so teeth protection is necessary in both adults as well as children.

Patients may suffer from hot and cold sensitivity (dentinal sensitivity ), caries , attrition , abrasion , abfraction and erosion   .Patients may not know as to why these things are happening . One part of teeth protection is also patient education about the correct diet intake, the correct brushing method, how to watch on caries etc.

Method for teeth protection includes:

  • Pit & fissure sealants used in case of pit & fissures in teeth.
  • Application of fluorides to prevent tooth decay.
  • Use of fluorides in daily life to prevent caries.
  • Treatment of sensitive teeth which way be due to incorrect brushing method in incorrect dietary intake.

Dentinal hypersensitivity occurs due to various   reasons. Patients if suffering from hypersensitivity may feel sweet, cold or sometimes hot sensation in teeth. Some of the reasons include:

  • Brushing your teeth too hard :This may wear away the enamel layer and may cause abrasion
  • Poor oral hygiene: Allowing tartar to deposit on teeth may cause gums to swollen and making their grip week on teeth. This causes bleeding gums and dentinal sensitivity.
  • Old FILLING THAT HAS CRACKS: Secondary caries can occur in old fillings, making the tooth sensitive.
  • Untreated cavities: Untreated cavities can allow further growth of caries inside a tooth leading to more damage of tooth.
  • High intake of acidic diet: frequent eating of acidic foods like Pizza, pasta better processed foods, sugar, fried foods and juices are very unhealthy for teeth. They may cause erosion which can cause sensitivity and are a big reason for caries and tooth decay. 
  • Gum surgery / Ageing: Gum surgery or ageing can expose root dentine which can be a reason for sensitivity.
  • Systemic diseases: Systemic diseases which generally affect the GIT (Gastrointestinal tract) may cause acidic reflex. One of the disease is known as “Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease” . It may cause acidic erosion in teeth making them sensitive.

FAQ

Why do teeth turn sensitive?

Sensitive teeth are caused due to wearing off of the upper layer of teeth i.e enamel and exposing the dentine which is below it. If gums recede, then root dentine is exposed. When dentine becomes exposed, then the tooth crown or root is sensitive to hold & cold foods. Dentinal tubules are sensitive to these kind of foods.

Do desentising toothpastes help every time for sensitive teeth?

No, desensitising toothpastes cannot help every time because the cause of sensitivity can also be due to caries or excessive tooth brushing. Therefore, these pastes can give temporary relief but for permanent treatment , Kindly visit your dentist

Does quitting smoking /tobacco cause sensitivity in teeth?

Yes, quitting smoking/tobacco usage cause sensitivity as smoking/tobacco blocks the exposed dental tubules. Therefore after quitting, one should start their dental visits so that their teeth and gums can be taken care of.

Teeth protection is one of the most important step that one should take so that further damage does not occurs. Often ignored, but teeth are gateway to our overall health
