Health

Do tooth cleaning by dentist damages enamel and calcium ?

Ans: Dear Rohit
Teeth cleaning done by trained dental professionals DOES NOT damage teeth or enamel. Even for removal of hard deposits (tartar/calculus) which have collected on teeth we use vibrating instruments known as ultrasonic or piezo scalers which cannot damage tooth enamel. Unlike the high-speed rotating diamond-tipped tools which we use for procedures that need cutting tooth structure. Hope this puts your doubts to rest.

Why do women get more tooth problems during pregnancy?

Ans: Hello
Increased incidence of tooth and gum pain during pregnancy can be attributed to two factors. Hormonal changes and changes in eating and brushing habits. And since some medicines/treatments are to be avoided during pregnancy expectant mothers are advised to take extra care of their oral hygiene.

How often to go to dentist to clean teeth?

Ans: Hi
If you brush and floss your teeth well - preferably after every meal - you may never need to get your teeth cleaned by a dentist.
However a visit to your dentist once every six months for a routine check up is advisable.

Health

Does the space between teeth increase if one flosses every day?

Ans: Hello
It's a misconception that the spaces between teeth increase with the daily use of floss or toothpicks. So please continue flossing daily.
Any measures you use to ensure no food debris remains is obviously going to help maintain your oral hygiene. It goes without saying that you have to be gentle when you brush, floss or pick your teeth

sir, my question is do tooth cleaning possible on tooths having caps after a root canal procedure? will it not damage the ceramic?

Ans: Hello,
Tooth cleaning (Scaling and polishing) will not damage ceramic or natural tooth enamel. Please do not have any apprehensions on this issue. The equipment used for scaling (ultrasonic/piezo scalers) are designed to be very gentle and your dentist has the necessary skills to avoid causing any damage.

Dr.Garu I consulted to dentist checking after sensitive teeth dentiseal-f toothpaste recommended Dr. Question: Dentiseal-f toothpaste used daily useful or not useful

Ans: Hello
The toothpaste you mentioned is a desensitizing toothpaste. It helps by forming a chemical barrier over the sensitive dentine, thus reducing the discomfort you feel when you have anything cold, sweet or sour. But it should be used daily for a sufficiently long period (typically a few weeks) to have the desired result.
