Dental Concerns

My top dental concerns revolve around preventing cavities, managing gum health, addressing tooth sensitivity, and maintaining consistent oral hygiene practices.

To cure black spots on teeth, first, visit a dentist to determine the cause. Common treatments include professional cleaning for surface stains, fillings for cavities, or whitening procedures for deeper stains. At home, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash. Reducing intake of staining foods and drinks like coffee and tea can also help.

As per my experience with my patients,I am describing your the following

The color or your teeth may have nothing to do with cavities. Teeth are porous, like a sponge. You can discolor your teeth from food or beverages like beets, blueberries, mustard, soya sauce, red wine etc. If the pigment from these foods goes deep inside the enamel and into the dentin, you will have to whiten your teeth probably using some sort of peroxide. However, you can still get cavities even with white teeth. It is a function of bacteria in plaque giving off acids that dissolve enamel. Now, if you have not cleaned your teeth for weeks and the plaque buildup makes your teeth appear yellow, that is another matter.

When someone has gum disease, their gums begin to slowly recede and expose parts of the teeth that can be sensitive to cold water and food. If you have noticed gum inflammation or recession, you should consult your dentist right away to speak to them about gingivitis

The main causes of bitterness in the mouth are: indigestion, poor gallbladder function, poor gastric motility, irregular life, oral inflammation, etc.
The exact cause and treatment should be asked by a doctor

How do you know if it,s a wisdom tooth?

Wisdom teeth have lesions that interfere with normal life and need to be removed.

The best time to extract a tooth: 18 to 30 years old is the most suitable, the sooner you have symptoms, the better, after the age of 40 tooth extraction will increase the risk and difficulty of treatment. Early tooth extraction is better: when wisdom teeth only have tooth germs, the damage of extraction is small, and when the root formation is incomplete, the tooth root is thicker and not easy to break. Delay in tooth extraction wound is larger: Delay may lead to other lesions caused by impacted tooth, which will increase the difficulty of tooth extraction, slow wound healing, and increase the difficulty of treatment.

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can stem from various factors like stress, anxiety, misaligned teeth, or sleep disorders. Identifying the root cause is crucial for effective management.
