Evey two months I need to go for scaling. Despite doing my best to maintain dental hygiene,blood and bad breath reaperas after every 2 months.I am also diabetic since the last 1 year but this dental issue is happening for a really long time

Ans: Tartar, or dental calculus, forms when plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) on your teeth hardens over time. Even with regular brushing, tartar can form if:

1. Brushing technique is inadequate (e.g., not brushing along the gum line)
2. Brushing frequency or duration is insufficient
3. Plaque buildup isn't fully removed
4. Diet high in sugars, acids, or starches contributes to plaque formation

Regular dental cleanings (Scaling) can help remove tartar and prevent its buildup. Your dentist or hygienist can also provide personalized advice on maintaining good oral hygiene.

Hello Dr. I am writing to seek your professional guidance regarding my oral health, as I have been facing persistent issues with my teeth, particularly my molars. These problems have arisen due to unhealthy childhood habits, and I am eager to find a permanent solution to address them. To provide you with some background, I have previously undergone root canal treatment (RCT) for six of my molars, 02 removed, approximately 12 years ago. However, it seems that my dental issues have persisted, and I am concerned about their long-term impact on my oral health. Given my current age of 38, I am motivated to take proactive steps to ensure the best possible care for my teeth. I kindly request your professional advice on the following: Is there a permanent solution available to address the ongoing issues with my molars? What preventive measures can I take to maintain the health of my remaining teeth? Are there any specific dental treatments or procedures that you recommend in my case? How often should I schedule dental check-ups to monitor and manage my oral health effectively? I understand the importance of seeking expert guidance, and I trust your expertise to provide me with the best possible recommendations to improve and maintain my oral health. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Ans: First of all, it's important to realise that no solution or treatment can be guaranteed to last a lifetime. At best you can hope for and seek long-term solutions. Even so, your oral health and hygiene will have to be reviewed periodically and corrective action taken as and when necessary.
To prevent further decay and to preserve your restored teeth in good health you need to brush/floss well at least twice a day. Preferably after every meal. And you need to see your dentist every 6 months.
Please consult your dentist who can evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums and then suggest the best possible treatment for you

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on May 25, 2025

Career
1- At present and in the coming 4 years, after completing graduation in pharmacy, how correct will it be to compare graduation with engineering, 2- In which field a pharmacist has immense potential and 3- If one completes Master in Pharmacy from an institute like NIPER, then what are the prospects in future, please explain in detail, thank you
Ans: Hi Prem,

There will always be a demand for health-related courses. Engineering, on the other hand, can undergo drastic changes over time. The health sector remains relatively stable in comparison.

Every human being has two eyes, two legs, and two hands. Any changes or issues related to these aspects are addressed by professionals in the health sector. Therefore, the pharmacy field is unlikely to be negatively affected in the future. While technology may bring some changes, they won't be as significant as those in engineering. So, you can confidently pursue a career in pharmacy for a better future without worrying about job security.

Regarding your second query: Pharmacy offers ten different fields to explore:
1. Pharmaceutical formulation (manufacturing)
2. Quality control and quality assurance (analytical R&D)
3. Herbal research
4. Animal testing
5. Microbiology (QC, R&D for vaccines)
6. Hospital/community/clinical pharmacy
7. Marketing
8. Academics
9. Regulatory affairs
10. Entrepreneurship

Whichever field you choose, it’s essential to acquire knowledge and expertise in that area to succeed. The choice is ultimately yours.

As for your third query about NIPER: As you know, it is a central government institution, and the government is investing around1,000 crores in each campus. If you have the opportunity to gain admission to NIPER, don't miss it. More NIPER campuses are expected to open in the near future, including NIPER Madurai, which has been long awaited. I hope the central government (BJP) will make an announcement regarding this soon.

In addition to conventional courses, there are new branches being introduced at NIPER, which promise a lot of development opportunities.

I think i have answered your query.

If you need any further details, post it in rediffguru.

BEST WISHES.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!
