Is Fluoride Safe ?

Fluoride  is a natural mineral found throughout the earth’s crust and widely distributed in nature. Some foods and water supplies contain fluoride.Fluoride is found naturally in soil, water, and foods. It is also produced synthetically for use in drinking water, toothpaste, mouthwashes and various chemical products. Fluoride is often added to drinking water to help reduce tooth decay.Water authorities add fluoride to the  municipal water supply,  because studies have shown that adding it in areas where fluoride levels in the water are low can reduce the prevalence of tooth decay in the local population.Enamel, the outer layer of the crown of a tooth, is made of closely packed mineral crystals. Every day, minerals are lost and gained from inside the enamel crystals. Losing minerals is called demineralization. Gaining them back is called remineralization. Demineralization  begins with the bacteria in the plaque on your teeth. They feed on sugar and other carbohydrates in your mouth

DENTAL RADIOGRAPHY- A Short Note

By -
Image
Radio graphs (X-rays) are necessary for the evaluation and diagnosis of many oral conditions and diseases. Dentists use radiographs for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. They are diagnostic, but they can also be preventative, by helping a dentist diagnose potential oral care issues in a patient’s mouth before they become a major problem. An x-ray is a type of energy that passes through soft tissues and is absorbed by dense tissue. Teeth and bone are very dense, so they absorb X-rays, while X-rays pass more easily through gums and cheeks.X-rays are divided into two main categories, intraoral and extraoral. Intraoral is an X-ray that is taken inside the mouth. An extraoral X-ray is taken outside of the mouth. Intraoral X-rays are the most common type of radiograph taken in dentistry. The benefits of X-rays are well known: They help dentists diagnose common problems, such as cavities, gum disease and some types

GINGIVITIS

By -
Image
Gingivitis  means inflammation of the gums, commonly occurs because a film of plaque, or bacteria, accumulates on the teeth. Gingivitis is a  non-destructive  type of periodontal disease, but untreated gingivitis can progress to periodontitis in which the inflammation of the gums results in tissue destruction and bone resorption around the teeth.  Periodontitis  can ultimately lead to tooth loss. Signs of gingivitis include red and puffy gums, that bleed easily when the person brushes their teeth, Bad breath and Swollen gums. The most common cause of gingivitis is the accumulation of bacterial plaque between and around the teeth. The plaque triggers an immune response, which, in turn, can eventually lead to the destruction of gingival, or gum, tissue. It may also, eventually, lead to further complications, including the loss of teeth. Dental plaque  is a biofilm that accumulates naturally on the teeth. It is usually formed by colonizing bacteria that are trying to stic
