Diet For Healthy Teeth

To prevent cavities and maintain good oral health, your diet,what you eat and how often you eat, are important factors. Changes in your mouth start the minute you eat certain foods. Bacteria in the mouth convert sugars from the foods you eat to acids, and it's the acids that begin to attack the enamel on teeth, starting the decay process. The more often you eat and snack, the more frequently you are exposing your teeth to the cycle of decay.


Diet GOOD/BAD For Your Teeth

The best food choices for the health of your mouth include 

• Cheeses, chicken or other meats, nuts, and milk. These foods are thought to protect tooth enamel by providing the calcium and phosphorus needed to remineralize teeth (a natural process by which minerals are redeposited in tooth enamel after being removed by acids).
• Other food choices include firm/crunchy fruits (for example, apples and pears) and vegetables. These foods have a high water content, which dilutes the effects of the sugars they contain, and stimulate the flow of saliva (which helps protect against decay by washing away food particles and buffering acid).

NO CET/NEET FOR YEAR 2012

Common Entrance Test (CET) for post-graduate medical students will not start from this session.
In a meeting on Tuesday, the Union health ministry decided that it would not be “feasible” to conduct the CET for post-graduate medical students from 2012 and decided to go ahead with the CET for under-graduates only from this year. Earlier,

the government had decided to conduct the CET for both undergraduates and post graduate medical students from this session (2012).
The All India CET for PG got into limbo with the Medical Council of India (MCI) yet to convince an agency to conduct the exam for them.

Earlier, the MCI had approached the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for holding the exam which expressed its inability due to lack of manpower.

Why Wearing Of MASK Is Necessary For Dentist ?

Human Mouth is Highly Contaminated environment. The mouth contains bacteria and viruses from many sources. The saliva of a healthy patient contains large numbers of streptococci, staphylococci, and gram negative bacteria. While many of these organisms are relatively innocuous for a healthy person, they carry the possibility of infection for the increasing number of people with compromised immune systems.

The use of hand scalers, prophy angles, and air-water syringes produce some splatter in the form of relatively large droplets. While large droplets contain potentially pathogenic organisms, they are usually controlled by standard barrier techniques such as gloves, masks, and eye protection. However, the ultrasonic scaler and the air polisher are the greatest producers of small particle aerosol contamination in dentistry. Several studies show that the ultrasonic scaler produces more airborne contamination than any other instrument in dentistry. The air polisher creates an almost equal amount of airborne contamination. The use of these instruments places hygienists at the forefront of risk for the airborne transmission of infections.

Chewing gum - Good Or Bad For Teeth ?

Some studies show that chewing gum can have an indirect positive effect on your teeth. Gum can stimulate production of saliva and increase salivary flow. Saliva is a natural buffering agent which washes the teeth and neutralizes some of the acid produced by bacteria. It is the acid which erodes enamel and eventually causes cavities. Also, some people do not produce sufficient saliva. One study showed that after chewing gum for 10 minutes each waking hour for two weeks, participants increased their salivary flow to a functional level and increased salivary pH and buffering capacity.

On the other hand, gum typically contains some type of sweetener. Brands of gum containing sugar can be harmful to your teeth if these types of gum are chewed too often or are removed from the mouth too soon. In fact, studies have shown that if a person chews gum containing sugar, it should be chewed for at least 15 to 20 minutes. After this time, the sugar is gone, but the saliva is sufficiently stimulated to rinse away some of the sugar residue.

Healthy teeth are important—even baby teeth. Children need healthy teeth to help them chew and to speak clearly. And baby teeth hold space for adult teeth. This booklet can help you keep your baby's mouth healthy and give him a healthy start!

Ann Talks With Maria

Ann and her friend Maria were watching Maria's children play.

"What are you doing?" asked Ann.

"I'm cleaning my baby's teeth," said Maria.

"But your baby hardly has any teeth!" said Ann.

"Yes, but the dentist said there are things I can do to keep my baby from getting cavities," said Maria.

"But don't baby teeth just fall out?" asked Ann.

Effect Of Diabetes On Dental Health

Diabetes can cause serious problems in your mouth. You can do something about it.

If you have diabetes, make sure you take care of your mouth. People with diabetes are at risk for mouth infections, especially periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease can damage the gum and bone that hold your teeth in place and may lead to painful chewing problems. Some people with serious gum disease lose their teeth. Periodontal disease may also make it hard to control your blood glucose (blood sugar).

Other problems diabetes can cause are dry mouth and a fungal infection called thrush. Dry mouth happens when you do not have enough saliva—the fluid that keeps your mouth wet. Diabetes may also cause the glucose level in your saliva to increase. Together, these problems may lead to thrush, which causes painful white patches in your mouth.

Straighten Teeth Without Braces

The usual method used to straighten teeth is to wear braces. But the whole process can be very long, uncomfortable and sometimes ugly. However, you should know that you can actually fix teeth without braces.
If you feel that braces aren’t your type of thing, then one of these other methods can be the right solution to fix crooked teeth.

One method to fix teeth without braces is Invisalign. This innovative system uses a series of retainer-type mouthpieces which will shape your teeth.
Usually, Invisalign results can be seen in a year’s time. This method is best for those who have minor teeth misalignment only.

India on Top of the Preferences List for Dental Tourism

In the last few years dental tourism has proved an extremely advantageous way for people to resolve their medical needs quite cheaply and also to combine the useful with the pleasurable.

India in particular, is a country whose dental tourismannual growth rate is estimated to increase by 30%, and by 2012 India’s medical tourism will contribute with $2 billion in annual revenue.

Dental tourism in general has seen a great success all over the world. Developing countries boast with top medical equipment in the private sector, and the hospitals and private practices in these countries quite often surpass qualitatively the facilities existent in the western countries such as Great Britain US or Germany.
Moreover, the dental tourism packages in these developing countries also come at extremely advantageous prices.

Alternative to Dental Insurance in India

Dental care is always considered as an expensive affair. More often this belief is what keeps people out of a dental office, till they end up some need for emergency treatment. Dental insurance is a never heard of in India till date, although it is present in varying proportions in the western countries. However to address to this need OroEdge Health Care Pvt. Ltd, a Dental Health management Organisation(DHMO) founded by Dr Dheeraj Grover and Dr Kumar Gaurav offers Dental Health Plan.


Unlike Insurance, Dental Health Plan (Dental Insurance Alternative) has no strings attached to it. There is no age restriction, no extra charges for high risk group patients, no pre existing conditions mandatory declaration or exclusion, no claim settlement hassles, no paperwork, no waiting period, no limitations or annual maximums and no referrals. Dental plans have heralded the advent of new era in dentistry.
