1) Tooth Pain

Definition :-• Toothache or tooth pain is caused when the nerve to a tooth is

irritated. Dental infection, gum disease, plaque, dental decay, injury, or loss of a tooth (including tooth extractions) are the most common causes of dental pain.

What symptoms accompany a toothache?If you notice pus near the source of the pain, your tooth may have become

abscessed, causing the surrounding bone to become infected. Or the pus could indicate gum disease, which is usually characterized by inflammation of the soft tissue, bleeding gums and abnormal loss of bone surrounding the teeth.

• Fever• Swelling around the tooth area• Pain when you bite• A foul-tasting discharge• Continuous lasting pain

Prevention :-

• Brush at least twice a day, preferably

after meals and snacks.

• Floss at least once a day to prevent gum disease.

• Visit your dentist regularly for oral examinations and a professional cleaning twice a year.

WHY ?

Tooth sensitivity is usually caused by dentin on root areas exposed due to receded gums or periodontal disease. Receded gums are very common and up to four fifths of people have gum recession by the time they are 65.

8) Discoloured or yellow teeth

Types of Discoloration :-

•Extrinsic discoloration occurs in the outer layer of the tooth, called the enamel; enamel stains can range from white streaks to yellow tints or brown spots and pits.

•Intrinsic discoloration occurs in the inner structure of the tooth, called the dentin, when the dentin darkens or displays a yellow (or gray) tint.

Reasons of Tooth Discoloration :-

• Foods/Drinks: Coffee, tea, colas, wines and certain foods (e.g., potatoes, cherries, blueberries) can cause extrinsic tooth stains.

• Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can result in discoloured teeth.

• Poor Dental Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing to remove plaque and stain-producing substances can cause tooth stains.

• Disease: Diseases affecting enamel and dentin can lead to tooth discoloration. Certain infections in pregnant mothers can cause tooth discoloration in the baby by affecting enamel development.

• Ageing: As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth wears away, revealing the dentin's natural, yellow colour. Additionally, over the years your teeth accumulate more stains and tartars, causing them to darken and discolour.

• Genetics: Some lucky individuals have naturally brighter and/or thicker enamel than others.

Treatment :-• Bleaching

• Scaling

• Environment: Excessive fluoride from environmental sources, such as high fluoride levels in drinking water, or from excessive use of fluoride applications, rinses, toothpastes and oral fluoride supplements, can cause teeth discoloration.

9) Cracked or chipped teeth

•Extreme tooth grinding, which can put the teeth under enormous pressure•Large fillings that weaken the tooth•Chewing or biting on something hard: for example ice, boiled sweets, fruit stones or meat bones•A blow to the chin or lower jaw•Gum disease, if there has been bone loss. This could make the teeth more likely to suffer from root fractures

Treatment :-

•Filling•Root canal treatment

•Cap

10) Cavities

•Tooth decay causes damage to healthy tooth structure by making the teeth weaker & unhealthy.

Wrong Beliefs About Dental Treatment

• Tooth become weak during the Dental Treatment.• Spacing between two teeth is increased during the brushing.• Dental treatment is not required in children as deciduous teeth are likely to fall down..• Teeth become loose after the treatment.• Removal of upper molar brings blindness.• All the teeth are to be removed if you have periodontal diseases.• Pyorrhoea is cured by the use of stuff and tobacco tooth paste.• Pyorrhoea is cured by urine Therapy.

# Diabetic patients with periodontal disease may have more trouble controlling their blood sugar & their gum disease is also likely to be more severe.  # Diabetic patient’s body's reaction to periodontal disease can increase the blood sugar level. Consequently, it is important for patients with diabetes to treat and eliminate periodontal infection for optimal diabetes control.

# Periodontal treatment combined with antibiotics has been shown to improve blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes.
