The goals of 'brushing' and 'flossing' are the same - to remove plaque and food debris from the mouth, Seventy percent is removed by brushing; thirty percent is removed by flossing, By not flossing, a most a third of the available tooth Surface remains covered with bacteria.

Braces - A few questions you asked no one answered

2009-01-17T00:58:00.000-08:00

What are braces?
Braces are appliances that the orthodontist uses to correct your bite. These braces are either fixed on to the teeth or rest against your teeth and bring about the desired movement of your teeth.

Why do we need braces?
Braces are used for the rectification of the deviated or crowding or abnormal arrangement of teeth by fixing braces onto the teeth, The causes for abnormal arrangements could be heredity, thumb sucking habit, mouth breathing, trauma or cavities,

Orthodontic treatment should be done at what age?
Although orthodontic treatment can be done at any age they are best carried out in young children of 8-15 years of age. During this age it is possible for the orthodontist to foresee any dental problems that are likely to occur and take preventive measures. The jaws are actively growing by 8-10 years of age. The permanent teeth start erupting by 6-7 years of age and complete erupting by 12-14 years (all except the wisdom teeth). This would therefore be the ideal time to start treatment,

What is the duration of the orthodontic treatment?
The duration of the treatment depends from person to person and from one orthodontist to other. Most jaw molding and jaw corrections carried out during the growing age takes 1-11/2 years. Orthodontic treatment with braces often takes 2-21/2 years,

What are the different types of braces available?
The most common type of orthodontic braces is the metallic type. They are steely in appearance and are used extensively.

For a more natural look, the orthodontist could fix for you ceramic braces or plastic braces that are tooth colored and therefore not noticeable, These of course are more expensive and you have to shell out some more money.

If you are young at heart and want to show off your braces then you should have colored or fluorescent braces. Gold braces are also available for the classy who want nothing but the best.
Why should you wear the retainer?

Once the braces are removed, the orthodontist will give you a retainer. A retainer is a removable type that you can remove and replace, These should be worn for a few months throughout the day and later for a few hours a day. One of the greatest challenges faced by orthodontists is the relapse of treatment, This means that teeth tend to go back to the original position. This occurs due to a number of factors, This is avoided by wearing the retainers that holds the teeth in the corrected position. The retainers give time for the bone and other tissues around the teeth to adapt to the new position.

Hypertension : The Silent Killer ?

2009-01-13T04:05:00.000-08:00

Is work keeping you up late?

Hypertension Screening

Hypertension is already a highly prevalent cardiovascular risk factor worldwide because of the prevalence of contributing factors such as obesity. Whereas the treatment of hypertension has been shown to prevent cardiovascular diseases and to extend and enhance life, hypertension remains inadequately managed everywhere. High blood pressure is called "the silent killer" because it usually causes no symptoms for many years, even decades, until it finally damages certain critical organs. Poorly controlled hypertension ultimately can cause damage to blood vessels in the eye, thickening of the heart muscle and heart attacks, hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), kidney failure, and strokes. Heightened public awareness and screening of the population are necessary to detect hypertension early enough so that it can be treated before damage has occurred to the critical organs. Lifestyle adjustments in diet and exercise and compliance with medication regimes are important factors in determining the outcome for people with hypertension. At MCC screening of Hypertension is done by;

* Getting the lipid profile and kidney profile of the person We facilitate the management of hypertension by providing;
* Stress management advice
* Advice for the change in Diet and Lifestyle
* Monthly packages for drugs and services

* Screening, diagnosing, treating, and controlling hypertension early In its course can significantly reduce the risk of developing strokes, heart attacks, or kidney failure. Accordingly, the diagnosis of high blood pressure in an individual is important so that efforts can be made to normalize the blood pressure and, thereby, prevent the complications it is clearly a major public health problem.

Halitosis Achieving Fresh Breath

2009-01-12T22:12:00.001-08:00

Do You Have Halitosis?
Have you noticed or has someone told you that you have bad breath? Halitosis (the medical term for bad breath) can embarrass you. But once the cause is known, it can usually be treated. Here are some of the most common causes of bad breath.

Bacteria
Food particles left in your mouth after a meal combine with bacteria to create a bad odor. Bacteria often collect on thebackofyourtongue.

Gum disease
(also called periodontal disease) is an infection of the gums, bone, and tissues around the teeth. This can cause bad breath.

Dry Mouth
Saliva cleanses your mouth, washing away many odor-causing bacteria. A dry mouth means too little saliva. This can lead to bad breath. Your mouth may become dry when you sleep, when you're thirsty, or because of certain medications or medical conditions.

Certain Foods
Some types of food and drink can cause bad breath. These include garlic, onions, curry, fish, cabbage, coffee, and alcohol.

Tobacco
Smoking or chewing tobacco can make your breath smell. This bad breath stays with you even when you're not smoking or chewing.

Other Causes
Braces, dentures, and other mouth gear may cause halitosis if not kept clean. So can tooth decay if it's not treated. Sinus problems that cause drainage into the throat may sometimes lead to mouth odor. Other conditions, such as lung, stomach, or nasal problems, can cause bad breath. And, in general, bad breath becomes more of a problem as you age.

Your Dentist Can Help
Your dentist can look for a cause of bad breath that can be treated. When a cause is found, treatment can improve your breath.

Finding the Cause
Some people think they have bad breath when they don't. First, your dentist confirms that you do have bad breath. Then, he or she looks for causes. You're checked for gum disease and asked questions about foods you eat, any medications you take, medical conditions you have, and how you care for your teeth.

Possible Treatments
Depending on the cause, your dentist can suggest treatments that will work for you. If a problem such as gum disease is found, your dentist can help treat it. You may also be referred to another dental or medical specialist for evaluation and treatment.

What You Can Do
You can do some simple things to help avoid bad breath. First, brush after each meal and floss every day. Then, try some of these other tips:

Brush Your Tongue
Brush your tongue (or use a special tongue scraper) to clean off food and odor-causing bacteria. Brush as far back as you can.

Keep a Moist Mouth
Drink plenty of water and rinse your mouth with water every so often to keep saliva flowing. Sugarless gum or mints can also help.

Make Diet Changes
Try to avoid eating foods that can cause bad-smelling breath.

Stop Smoking
If you smoke or chew tobacco, quit. You'll be amazed how much better your breath will smell.

Ask About Mouth Rinses
Most over-the-counter mouthwashes only cover up bad breath for a short time. However, your dentist may suggest a prescription mouth rinse that can help kill odor-causing bacteria.

Fresh and Healthy Breath
Depending on the cause of your halitosis, you can usually achieve fresh-smelling breath. Practice good oral hygiene. See your dentist regularly. And use what you've learned to keep your breath smelling great.
