<br />
As advice by World Health Organization(WHO) on basic protective measures against the new <a href="https://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2020/02/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-advice-for.html">Novel Coronavirus</a> (2019-nCoV).<br />
<br />
<b>Wash your hands frequently</b><br />
<br />
Wash your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.<br />
<br />
Why? Washing your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water kills the virus if it is on your hands. <br />
<br />
<b>Practice respiratory hygiene</b><br />
<br />
When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.<br />
<br />
Why? Covering your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing prevent the spread of germs and viruses. If you sneeze or cough into your hands, you may contaminate objects or people that you touch.<br />
<br />
<b>Maintain social distancing</b><br />
<br />
Maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever.<br />
<br />
Why? When someone who is infected with a respiratory disease, like 2019-nCoV, coughs or sneezes they project small droplets containing the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCy3c-bnZLfyMwEZMnJwdmLux6C3gcagcjch8bY8yE3l5x_YJ1CTIVwjChW76Or6EYxO2JiZXO45m7iay5Faul451z0zynRniH-KJw-v40Hxu7asr9P0MImkf0-Mre63HNrCUg-QMIvvA/s1600/blue-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCy3c-bnZLfyMwEZMnJwdmLux6C3gcagcjch8bY8yE3l5x_YJ1CTIVwjChW76Or6EYxO2JiZXO45m7iay5Faul451z0zynRniH-KJw-v40Hxu7asr9P0MImkf0-Mre63HNrCUg-QMIvvA/s320/blue-1.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth</b><br />
<br />
Why? Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself. <br />
<br />
<b>If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early</b><br />
<br />
Tell your health care provider if you have traveled in an area in China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or if you have been in close contact with someone with who has traveled from China and has respiratory symptoms.<br />
<br />
Why? Whenever you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing it’s important to seek medical attention promptly as this may be due to a respiratory infection or other serious condition. Respiratory symptoms with fever can have a range of causes, and depending on your personal travel history and circumstances, 2019-nCoV could be one of them.<br />
<br />
<b>If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel history to or within China</b><br />
<br />
If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel history to or within China, carefully practice basic respiratory and hand hygiene and stay home until you are recovered, if possible.<br />
<br />
<b>As a general precaution, practice general hygiene measures when visiting live animal markets, wet markets or animal product markets</b><br />
<br />
Ensure regular hand washing with soap and potable water after touching animals and animal products; avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth with hands; and avoid contact with sick animals or spoiled animal products. Strictly avoid any contact with other animals in the market (e.g., stray cats and dogs, rodents, birds, bats). Avoid contact with potentially contaminated animal waste or fluids on the soil or structures of shops and market facilities.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid consumption of raw or under-cooked animal products</b><br />
<br />
Handle raw meat, milk or animal organs with care, to avoid cross-contamination with uncooked foods, as per good food safety practices.<br />

<br />
Researcher study says 'insufficient sleep amplifies levels of anxiety'. Recently, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley recently conducted study to explore how bad sleep can impact a person’s mental health.<br />
<br />
The researchers found that after the restless night’s sleep, the medial prefrontal cortex in the brains of the respondents – which helps to alleviate anxiety – was found not functioning as normal. Meanwhile, the brain’s deeper emotional centers were found to be overactive. These study results were replicated in another study of 30 people in their twenties, thirties and forties.<br />
<br />
Similar study was conducted on another 30 people in their twenties, thirties and forties. Overall and concluded that <a href="https://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2019/11/insufficient-sleep-can-increase.html">bad sleep</a> can increase a person's emotional stress levels by up to 30 per cent.<br />
<br />
<b>What causes sleeping difficulties?</b><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfbeqiqCLE749K5kqdv4TgeUEvmOqN1RIqIQ3fjLbktuRwJ8Xm-Q4IXghQMXi-koFHFoZyd45RsCEqs3-FYE8YodKSX92e7ommCECSEqSnReJN8Iw65gX4obelRCsqH0k_K3STvNUT1I/s1600/sleep02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="822" data-original-width="1200" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfbeqiqCLE749K5kqdv4TgeUEvmOqN1RIqIQ3fjLbktuRwJ8Xm-Q4IXghQMXi-koFHFoZyd45RsCEqs3-FYE8YodKSX92e7ommCECSEqSnReJN8Iw65gX4obelRCsqH0k_K3STvNUT1I/s320/sleep02.jpg" width="320" /></a>There are numerous potential reasons behind bad sleep, including your sleeping habits, lifestyle <br />
choices, and medical conditions. A few causes are minor and may improve with self-care, while others may expect you to look for restorative consideration.<br />
<br />
Reasons for sleeplessness or bad sleep may include aging, an excessive amount of incitement before sleep time, (for example, staring at the TV, mobile access, playing games on computer or smartphone, or exercising), taking an excessive amount of caffeine, noise, an awkward room, or a sentiment of energy.<br />
<br />
Dozing a lot during the day, lack of exposure to sunlight, frequent urination, physical or emotional pain, and some doctor prescribed prescriptions may likewise prompt difficulty sleeping.<br />
<br />
For many people, stress, worry, depression, or work schedules may also affect their sleep. For others, sleep issues are due to a sleep disorder such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome.</div>

<br />
In new studies, researchers found that hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient in over-the-counter whitening strips, can damage the protein-rich dentin tissue found beneath the tooth’s protective enamel.<br />
<br />
The tooth is made of three layers: the outer tooth enamel, an underlying dentin layer and connective tissue that binds the roots to the gum. Most studies of whitening strips have focused on tooth enamel, which contains very little protein. Kennan’s research team focuses on dentin, which makes up most of the tooth and has high levels of protein, most of which is collagen.<br />
<br />
It is well established that hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the enamel and dentin. Previous work by the researchers showed that collagen in the dentin layer decreased when teeth were treated with whitening strips.<br />

Smoking can also make gum disease worse. People who smoke are more likely to produce bacterial plaque, which leads to gum disease. The gums are affected because smoking causes a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, so the infected gums don't heal. Smoking causes people to have more plaque and the gum disease to get worse more quickly than in non-smokers. Gum disease is still a major cause of tooth loss in adults.<br />
<br />
Smoking will also stain dental bridges, dental implant restorations, and dentures. You have an increased risk of gum disease, and treatments will be less effective. <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2012/04/links-between-smoking-and-gum-diseases.html">Tobacco irritates gums</a>, which can cause your gums to pull away from teeth and create pockets.<br />

gum disease (gingivitis).<br />
<br />
<b>Severe gum disease may require the followings to do:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Deep cleaning below the gum line.</li>
<li>Prescription mouth rinse or medicine.</li>
<li>Surgery to remove tartar deep under the gums.</li>
<li>Surgery to help heal bone or gums lost to periodontists. Your dentist may use small bits of bone to fill places where bone has been lost. Or your dentist may move tissue from one place in your mouth to cover exposed tooth roots.</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you are addicted to smoking or using spit tobacco, quitting will help your gums heal after treatment.</div>

Good oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and gums. It also helps to prevent bad breath and other dental related issues. The right kind of toothpaste plays a major role in oral health care, but it is sometimes difficult to know what product is best and <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2019/03/know-what-kind-of-toothpaste-best-to-use.html">how to choose the best toothpaste</a>.<br />
<br />
Based on the followings, one can select toothpaste that is most suitable for them.<br />
<br />
Check the fluoride content in toothpaste - Fluoride is a natural mineral that protects tooth enamel and fights cavities. Various studies confirm that fluoride is a safe and effective treatment. However, some people prefer to avoid fluoride in toothpaste and drinking water. Where this is the case, natural toothpaste may be a better option as many natural formulations are fluoride-free.<br />
<br />
Reading the label on toothpaste pack - It is advisable to check labels carefully. Because not all types
of toothpaste are suitable for everyone. For example, some products are unsuitable for younger children. Being aware of the ingredients allows people to avoid specific chemicals if they are sensitive to them.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY2pZvX-3-Vfs8rre1bUF-jTKwOJkr-eYYk5BSCyvH0RxGjvThNIPFDGISKU2puQNHqhqZ7K4uTOEKBNRwx98ULZnPHpRhAMV4qVAhLnv6TUAHWGPsLWQUWRMkAOrLClyiDOLuoAtUk5Q/s1600/select-toothpaste.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1202" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY2pZvX-3-Vfs8rre1bUF-jTKwOJkr-eYYk5BSCyvH0RxGjvThNIPFDGISKU2puQNHqhqZ7K4uTOEKBNRwx98ULZnPHpRhAMV4qVAhLnv6TUAHWGPsLWQUWRMkAOrLClyiDOLuoAtUk5Q/s320/select-toothpaste.jpg" width="320" /></a>Choosing based on specific dental problems - Individuals with dental problems should choose a toothpaste that meets their specific needs. Some people, for example, may require a desensitizing toothpaste. Desensitizing toothpaste contains specific compounds, such as potassium nitrate, that block parts of the teeth to stop pain signals.<br />
<br />
Ask your dentist for a prescription toothpaste for very sensitive teeth - <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2014/07/how-to-manage-tooth-sensitivity.html">Sensitive teeth</a> can make brushing very uncomfortable. Foods and beverages such as ice-cream and hot coffee can be painful to consume. Special types of toothpaste can alleviate the symptoms of sensitive teeth, and over-the-counter (OTC) options are usually effective. However, some people may not get enough relief from OTC products. If this is the case, a dentist may be able to prescribe a stronger product.<br />
<br />
Everybody has different needs and preferences. People should consider their own needs and the needs of their family when selecting a <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2013/02/toothpaste-history.html">toothpaste</a> brand. If necessary, people can shop around and try different options.<br />
<br />
<b>When you suppose to see a dentist</b><br />
<br />
With so many options on the market, it can be challenging to choose a toothpaste brand. If a person is unsure, they can speak with a dentist or at nearby <a href="http://www.perfectdentalclinic.co.in/" target="_blank">dental clinic</a> about the best available options. A dentist will factor in a person's oral health and individual needs when recommending products. It is essential to remember that toothpaste is just one component of oral hygiene. Other oral hygiene products include toothbrushes, tongue scrapers, and mouthwashes.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Most of the people wake up every morning and first thing they do is brush their teeth. Is it sufficient to teeth brushing in morning to keep mouth and <a href="http://www.perfectdentalclinic.co.in/" target="_blank">teeth healthy</a> and <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2012/03/cavities-dont-wait-until-it-hurts.html">cavity free</a>? And is it important to brush teeth in night?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My answer is YES. It is very important to brush your teeth in night before going too sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Here are few things that teeth brushing in night does: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Reduces bacterial growth</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The saliva in the mouth plays a important role in reducing bacterial growth. During sleep, we have decreased saliva production. The bacterial in mouth multiples vastly and attacks gums and teeth. Therefore teeth brushing at night reduces the bacterial growth. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Reduces acid build up</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Acid produced by bacteria causes teeth decay. While teeth brushing in night, fluoride present in toothpaste stimulates saliva secretion. Thus prevented from tooth decay. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Reduces the decay of food particles</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After you have dinner, rinsing is not enough. Food particles that get dislodge on tooth surface get rotten overnight and gives bad smell. So it is important to clean all the food particles before going too sleep. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No matter how much time out might take or how lazy you feel in night, <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2018/05/why-it-is-important-to-brush-your-teeth.html">brushing teeth</a> at night is as important as brushing in morning. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes patients complain about a small boil or lump on lips that bleeds sometimes. It is called mococele. It is usually harmless, but may cause a patient discomfort, pain, and difficulty speaking and eating. It is a cyst like lesion that contains mucus and usually occurs on the lower lips, cheeks or floor of the mouth. It occurs wherever mucus glands are present. In most cases, it is not a true cyst because it is not lined by epithelium. It is caused by escape of mucus into the connective tissue when an salivary duct is traumatized. Therefore, the mucocele is lined by fibrous and granulation tissue. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Treatment - Some mococele does not require surgical treatment. Large and painful mococele are removed by a scalpel or laser. </div>

<br />
Saliva is a watery liquid secreted into the mouth by glands, providing lubrication for chewing and swallowing, and aiding digestion. It plays an important role in our mouth. Saliva secretion (formation) are protective in nature. Lets see how.<br />
1. Saliva mechanically cleanses plaque on <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">teeth</a> surface. It also buffers (neutralizes) acid produced by bacteria and controls the further growth of bacteria in mouth.<br />
2. Saliva acts as antibacterial agent. It contains various elements like bicarbonates, sodium, potassium, calcium, fluorides, lysosomes, agglutinate etc. that prevents the growth of bacteria in mouth.<br />
3. Calculus formation, <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/2010/12/oral-hygiene-facts.html" target="_blank">gums diseases</a> and <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/2012/03/cavities-dont-wait-until-it-hurts.html" target="_blank">dental caries</a> (cavities) are prevented by flow of saliva in mouth. <br />

<a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Dental plaque</a> is one of the most ignoring things in our mouth and it can be most harmful to your teeth. So we can say it is a silent killer. <br />
For those who don't know, plaque is a layer of bacteria that forms on the surface of the teeth and generally appears colorless and sticky. This deposit forms when the food and fluids we consume collect on the teeth and gums and mixes with saliva. These bacteria when comes in contact with sugary food they form a type of acid. These acids are harmful to your teeth because they can weaken your enamel. Repeated attacks can cause the enamel to break down, eventually resulting in cavities. Moreover plaque buildup can also lead to <a href="http://perfectdentalclinic.co.in/blog/2014/03/13/12-why-are-healthy-gums-important" target="_blank">gum diseases</a>, the red and swollen gums that sometimes bleed. If it progresses, severe periodontal (gum) disease can develop. Gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, allowing the bacteria to destroy the underlying bone supporting the teeth and gums. May lead to tooth loss.</div>

If you follow these simple tips, you can prevent plaque formation :<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiORIdvLUkqr4WVXja1QHM08CbbQMPBUiAnznXnL8psB4ffJ6M4KdMHzhiKA8dECTE5qLyJzQP3qVOEp1rZPLAZiqQNxHvdsA_ma-xtcXmhasFE1LEA2sURv0KonL_U5nS9ISDCElxhcU/s1600/toothbrushing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiORIdvLUkqr4WVXja1QHM08CbbQMPBUiAnznXnL8psB4ffJ6M4KdMHzhiKA8dECTE5qLyJzQP3qVOEp1rZPLAZiqQNxHvdsA_ma-xtcXmhasFE1LEA2sURv0KonL_U5nS9ISDCElxhcU/s320/toothbrushing.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGPp5Omd38cpKlabz4oCcwN9_1MTO0wZ5d0Sa2Bik0pejumnkw4kLRrT2_dMV2oP02Dn0gGJ08STy62T4a22A89mfMMR21yaBztSrYgWL4kaiKQlK7z_O5qXa6tbMJAxw_RkcXjHQHgG0/s1600/teethflossing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGPp5Omd38cpKlabz4oCcwN9_1MTO0wZ5d0Sa2Bik0pejumnkw4kLRrT2_dMV2oP02Dn0gGJ08STy62T4a22A89mfMMR21yaBztSrYgWL4kaiKQlK7z_O5qXa6tbMJAxw_RkcXjHQHgG0/s320/teethflossing.jpg" width="320" /></a>
<li><a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/2013/02/what-causes-dental-plaque-and-why-is-it.html" target="_blank">Plaque</a> usually starts forming on your teeth between 4 and 12 hours after brushing. This means that if you do not brush your teeth at least twice a day, there’s a good chance you’ll start developing oral problems related to plaque.</li>
<li>Brushing alone is never enough. Your toothbrush may never get to the food deposits that are stuck in between your teeth. With flossing you’ll be able to clean in between your teeth. </li>
<li>Visit your <a href="http://perfectdentalclinic.co.in/" target="_blank">dentist</a> in every six months for having your teeth professionally cleaned. Dentist usually recommend teeth cleaning because it helps maintain clean teeth and removes hardened plaque and stains. </li>
<li>Brushing with the right toothpaste and right technique can make all the difference in preventing plaque. If you are concerned about plaque it’s a good idea to choose a toothpaste that is specifically manufactured to prevent plaque. </li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me tell you, a good Dentist will always make sure to come out of your fears and misconceptions.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay,
when you go to visit a dentist there are some terms or difficult words
that your dentist says and it's obvious that you would have faced
difficulty in understanding it. Some of them like plaque, calculus, root
canal treatment, <a href="http://perfectdentalclinic.co.in/general-dentistry/dental-cleaning" target="_blank">scaling and polishing</a>, <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/2013/09/controversy-over-amalgam-filling.html" target="_blank">cement filling</a>, caries etc.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
To explain all these terms I am going to write series of article in my blog to just elaborate it in my way.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope it will help you know dentistry easily.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanking You ...</div>

The US scientists reviewed journal articles looking at links between gum and heart diseases. They atlast come to a result that while people with gum disease may be at greater risk of heart or artery disease, the association is probably coincidental. Both conditions have common risk factors, such as smoking, aging and diabetes, and both produced similar inflammation markers. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by two important ways. Firstly they are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, sometimes after long periods of inactivity. Under standard conditions, they can be induced to become tissue or organ specific cells. In some organs, such as the gut and bone marrow, stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace worn out and damaged tissues. <br />
<a name='more'></a>In other organs, such as pancreas and heart, stem cells only divide under special conditions. Given their unique regenerative abilities, stem cells offer new potentials for treating diseases such as Diabetes and Heart disease. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the blood during early life and growth.</div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cord blood, umbilical cord tissue, dental pulp, adipose tissue and bone marrow are rich source of stem cells. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a result, patients who receive stem cells from sources are less likely to reject the transplantation. Stem cells obtained from above mentioned sources had been successfully used to treat more than 70 different diseases.</div>

One day at my clinic, after the 42 year old woman seated on dental chair with <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/2014/07/common-dental-related-fears.html" target="_blank">common dental fears</a> in her mind, she turned at me and said glibly, "Doctor, I don't like dentists." I suddenly do not understand then I asked her again.<br />
<br />
After listening to that golden words I was surprised. Is that ever happened to you? <br />
<br />
I calmed myself and started the conversation with her with surprise in my voice as you cause her to reflect by repeating her phrasing," you don't like dentists?" with the expectation that she will elaborate. <br />
<br />
Probably she has had a bad experience, and by proceeding from generalization to the specific, communication will advance. It is important to do active listening and to allow the patient to express his thoughts and feelings. It shows that you are different perhaps from a previous dentist who may not have developed listening skills and left the patient with a negative view of all dentists. The main goal of the doctor should be to enhance communication, to develop trust and rapport, and to start a new chapter in the patient's dental experience in their <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2010/10/dental-emergency-is-type-of-medical.html" target="_blank">dental emergencies</a> and dental fear.</div>

But incorrect diagnosis does not necessarily constitute negligence. Because of the many judgements involved in dental practice it is considered unrealistic to expect that a dentist be 100% correct. The patient must demonstrate serious injury because of the dentist's failure to diagnose properly before there are grounds for negligence. Furthermore, it must be shown that the <a href="http://www.perfectdentalclinic.co.in">dentist</a> failed to exercise the applicable standard of care. But injury alone is grounds to file a suit for negligence.<br>
If the overcome of <a href="http://www.bestdentalguide.blogspot.com">treatment</a> is bad for example endodontic treatment due. to a separated instrument, then negligence is not necessarily supported if the appropriate standard of treatment is employed. However, if a dentist promises to effect a specific cure, to bring about a particular results, or to complete a procedure with no residual problems and fails to fulfill the promise, a lawsuit may be filled on the basis of breach of contract rather than negligence.</p>

Some of the common dental related fear do patients experience in a <a href="http://perfectdentalclinic.co.in/" target="_blank">dental clinic</a> are:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Pain</li>
<li>Drills</li>
<li>Needles</li>
<li>Loss of teeth</li>
<li>Surgery</li>
</ul>
Most commonly <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.com/2014/07/common-dental-related-fears.html">dental related fears</a> are learned directly from a traumatic experience in a dental or medical settings. The experience may be real of perceived by patient as a treat, but a single event may lead to a lifetime of fear when any element of the traumatic situation is re-experienced. The situation may have occurred many years before, but the intensity of the recalled fear may persist.<br />
<br />
Fears also may be learned indirectly as a vicarious experience from family members, friends or even media.<br />
<br />
There are four elements that are common to all fears<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Fear of unknown</li>
<li>Fear of physical harm or injury</li>
<li>Fear of loss of control</li>
<li>Fear of helplessness and dependency</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/">Tooth sensitivity</a> is a very common problem and it has been estimated that approximately half the population experiences tooth sensitivity. If a taste of ice cream or a sip of coffee or breathing a cold air creates tooth pain, you may have sensitive teeth. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two types of tooth sensitivity:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRGU1lPYRoPU3SmLm2IilFM3CWiAmhjoomP4BcSFGF42u8TTrnhq3hqnZXlu1vpgGJ9qRv37hCnhAT-sIf_bSxS6c23HeSdMcP7CX2l90qCOfl74Qal8abQLHlbdMFjhA1V_TWJR7Qr1c/s1600/DoYouHaveSensitiveTeeth_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRGU1lPYRoPU3SmLm2IilFM3CWiAmhjoomP4BcSFGF42u8TTrnhq3hqnZXlu1vpgGJ9qRv37hCnhAT-sIf_bSxS6c23HeSdMcP7CX2l90qCOfl74Qal8abQLHlbdMFjhA1V_TWJR7Qr1c/s1600/DoYouHaveSensitiveTeeth_01.jpg" height="181" width="200" /></a><b>Dentinal sensitivity :</b> It occurs when the dentin of a tooth is exposed. Normally, the dentin is covered by</div>
enamel above the gumline and by cementum below the gumline. Dentin contains tiny openings called tubules. Inside each tubule lies a nerve branch that comes from the tooth's pulp. When the dentin is exposed, cold or hot temperature or pressure can affect these nerve branches. This causes sensitivity. Dentin becomes exposed when the outer protective layers of enamel or cementum wear away. This can affect one or more teeth.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the most common causes of sensitive teeth include :</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Brushing : Brushing too vigorously can also cause enamel to abrade and also cause receding gums, causing sensitivity.</li>
<li>Gum Diseases : Gingivitis when left untreated cause gum recesion and dentine exposure which causes sensitivity.</li>
<li>Teeth Grinding: Grind your teeth while sleeping or if you clench your teeth, you may be wearing down enamel and exposing the underlying dentin.</li>
<li>Tooth abrasions</li>
<li>Tooth Cavity</li>
<li>Some toothpastes increase tooth sensitivity, including whitening toothpastes that lighten or remove stains from enamel, and tartar-control toothpastes containing sodium pyrophosphate. </li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">An old filling with a crack or leak</span></li>
<li>Tooth whitening in people who have tooth roots that already are exposed.</li>
<li>Frequently eating acidic foods or drinking acidic liquids.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pulpal sensitivity :</b> It is a reaction of the tooth's pulp. The pulp is a mass of blood vessels and nerves in the center of each tooth. Pulpal sensitivity tends to affect only a single tooth. Causes include :</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Decay or infection</li>
<li>A recent filling</li>
<li>Excessive pressure from clenching or grinding</li>
<li>A cracked or broken tooth</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In dentistry, amalgam is an alloy (combination of metals) of mercury with various metals used for <a href="http://perfectdentalclinic.co.in/general-dentistry/cavity">dental fillings</a>. It commonly consists of mercury, silver, tin, copper and other trace metals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the 1800s, amalgam became the dental restorative material of choice due to its low cost, ease of application, strength and longitivity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://bestdentalguide.blogspot.in/">dental</a> amalgam controversy refers to the conflicting views over the use of amalgam as a filling material because it contains the element mercury. Scientists agree that dental amalgam fillings leach mercury into the mouth, but studies vary widely in the amount and whether such amount presents significant health risks. The effects of that amount of exposure are also disputed,. The use of mercury in dental fillings is approved in most countries. Norway, Denmark, and Sweden have banned the use of mercury in dental amalgams over environmental concerns, and in Sweden's case also from concerns over its effect on human health.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Health effects</b><br />
A 2003 monograph on mercury toxicity from the World Health Organization concluded that:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Studies on humans and animals have demonstrated that dental amalgam contributes significantly to mercury body burden in humans with amalgam fillings.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Dental amalgam is the most common form of exposure to elemental mercury in the general population, <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

constituting a potentially significant source of exposure to elemental mercury, with estimates of daily intake from amalgam restorations ranging from 1 to 12.5 µg/day, the majority of dental amalgam holders being exposed to less than 5 µg mercury/day.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Intestinal absorption varies greatly among the various forms of mercury, with elemental mercury (as found in amalgam) being the least absorbed form (<0.01%)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Absorption also varies according to individual factors such as gum chewing and bruxism (tooth grinding).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The number of restorations - amalgam or otherwise - is declining, largely due to improved dental hygiene, in all industrialised countries examined declining by 38% since the 1970s in the USA and over 65% in the ten years from 1986 in the UK</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Although several studies have demonstrated that some mercury from amalgam fillings is absorbed, no relationship was observed between the mercury release from amalgam fillings and the mercury concentration in basal brain.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">However, in the same report it was concluded that "...even at very low mercury levels, subtle changes in visual system function can be measured."</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">In multiple sclerosis patients with amalgam fillings, red blood cells, haemoglobin, hematocrit, thyroxine (T4), T-lymphocytes and T-8 (CD8) suppressors cells levels are significantly lower, while blood urea nitrogen and hair mercury levels are significantly higher.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The report also notes that regarding elemental mercury exposure, the main form of exposure from dental amalgam," most studies rely on assessment of exposure at the time of study, which may not be fully informative, as mercury has a long half-life in the body and thus accumulates in continuous exposure ", making the evaluation of effects on health uncertain.</li>

He found studies indicated that dental work involving mercury may be an occupational hazard with respect to reproductive processes, glioblastoma (brain cancer), renal function changes, allergies and immunotoxicological effects.</div>

<b>Are there alternatives to amalgam?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is now a dental amalgam that contains indium as well as mercury. The indium helps retain the mercury</div>
so that less is released into the environment. There are also high-copper amalgams. They contain less mercury and more copper. Dentists use other materials for filling teeth. These include Glass Ionomer Cement, Miracle mix, composite resin, porcelain and gold. Amalgam is stronger than composite resin. This is a tooth-colored material.</div>
