                                                BREAKING THE DENTAL MYTHS

All dental facts that you hear are not true. Some questions will confuse you and stop you from doing dental treatment.Here we have given a solution for it.Dental treatment is simple and convenient among all treatments.

First you should know the difference between myth and fact.FACT is an actual reality .MYTH is a think ,that people thinks themselves, it is correct .Because they hear it from everybody.Myth is actually like  fairy tale,everything in it is not reality but is not false.Here is an perfect example for myth and fact.Myth is not a false one,but it hides the real truth.

From the above picture you would have clearly understand difference between myth and fact.


Lets see to the dental myths now:

CLEANING TEETH LEADS TO LESS STRENGTHENING OF TEETH

You may hear this from almost everybody.By cleaning the teeth you will loose the strength of teeth.Absolutely NO.Cleaning is done around the tooth structure,especially in gums.If stains is present cleaning will be done over the teeth gently.This will not make teeth to loose their strength,infact after cleaning, tooth will get more strengthened.During cleaning process we will remove the dirt between the teeth,so you will a gap in between.But it is a healthy gap and it  will close by its own.So do not restrict yourselves from doing scaling.Scaling for once in 6 months is best.

MILK TEETH FALLS OFF NATURALLY,SAVING THEM IS NOT NECESSARY

This is another myth among parents.Yes milk teeth falls off naturally, but we should save them if they are decayed.Milk teeth will erupt into oral cavity by 6 months and falls off around 13 yrs.For example, if your 8 years old child have decayed tooth and if you are not treating it,your child will eat all their healthy foods with that decayed teeth for next 6 years.This is not good for child health also.So wake up ,please treat your child milk teeth with correct treatment.

EXTRACTION LEADS TO CHANGE IN FACE SHAPE AND ALSO AFFECTS EYE SIGHT

Due to this witless myth many people afraid for extraction.Tooth and eye has indirect connection and no direct connection.so tooth extraction will not affect eye sight.And tooth extraction will not leads to change in your facial structure.It may leads to facial change ,when you are not replacing it for longtime.Immediately after extraction you may feel some difference in your face,but it is temporary only.Kindly do not believe in this myth and spoil your dental health.

DO NOT VISIT DENTIST DENTIST DURING PREGNANCY

This is a very critical myth.We can do dental treatment during pregnancy.Most preferably first 3 months.After 5 months  we will not  undergo extraction.Other than that filling,cleaning can be done during pregnancy.In case of pain,we will prescribe medications with much less dose without affecting baby and mother.So do not avoid dental treatment during pregnancy if need.

ROOT CANAL IS DONE ONLY AFTER TOOTH PAINS HEAVILY

This is the major myth that leads to other problems.Once you feel difference in your tooth visit a dentist.Do not wait until it gives you severe pain.WILL YOU WAIT FOR YOUR HEART TO PAIN HEAVILY?yes tooth is also as much important as your heart.Root canal is done to save your tooth .But if you visit dentist in early stage you can still avoid root can treatment.In later stage of decay only root canal treatment is done.If you are at early stage tooth colored filling is enough to save your teeth.

ALL DENTAL TREATMENT DONE IS FOR LIFETIME

MAINTENANCE matters everything here.Yes,think if your cleaning your teeth and smoking again you will end up in stains and bad breath within a month.If you maintains it properly as per your dentist instructions you will get your dental treatment for prolonged time. OUR DENTAL TREATMENT IS LONG LIFE.Long life is different from life long.It will come for its best till its long life.And it is in your hand to make dental treatment to stand long life.

I HAVE A HEALTHY TEETH AS I BRUSH TWICE DAILY

There are some people who brush twice daily and have decayed tooth.Some will brush once daily and have a healthy teeth.So time and count of brushing does not matters here.Brushing method is important.If you are brushing twice daily for 3 minutes with wrong method it is not useful.And if you are brushing for 2 minutes once daily with correct technique it is good and useful.
