Question by Saisuresh - Jan 24, 2023

Is there any connection between dental plaque and heart blockage?

Ans: Hello Saisuresh
Studies have shown that the bacteria which cause gum infections can travel through the bloodstream and infect the heart valves.
So yes, if your oral hygiene is poor you stand the risk of getting cardiac complications.
This is why regular dental check ups are important even if you have no bothersome signs or symptoms

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 17, 2023

While eating food I often end up biting my inner mouth, lips etc, and I don't know why. I don't have misformed teeth, so it's very puzzling. Please help

Ans: Hello
As we grow older and also in certain conditions such as dehydration, deficiency of vitamins, hormonal imbalance, etc our cheeks tend to lose their elasticity. This can lead to cheek or lip bites.
Also conditions like hyperacidity can lead to accelerated attrition/erosion (wear-and-tear) of teeth leaving sharp edges which can injure your cheeks and lips.
Kindly visit your dentist who can identify the cause and help correct it.

Question by Steven - Mar 17, 2023

Dr. Shyam, This is steven, I have a cavity in my last molar on the right side. the tooth has half eroded and has come out in bits and pieces. I have no issues with it other than that the food particles get stuck in it which I can feel and immediately i gargle and it comes out. No pain or whatsoever. What should be my next step kindly suggest

Ans: Hello
Any tooth which is decayed/broken should be treated as soon as possible. Regardless of whether it's hurting or not. Please remember that tooth decay if left untreated can spread to the neighbouring teeth.
Besides, even if the tooth is painless now it can trouble you later.
So please consult your dentist and seek his advice on what steps need to be taken

Question by Uma - Mar 19, 2023

Hi Dr. I am 40 years old and have severe acidity issues. If I eat just idlies I start burping and acidity will cause severe headache and vomit sensation. I also have a stressful job & I take tension for small things.

Can I continue this journey or should I be worried about any kidney problems?

Ans: Herbal products needs to be endorsed or cross checked with an Ayurvedic /Siddha practitioner. Kindly do that.
