Reply is requested from highly experienced and knowledgeable Physiotherapist. During femur bone displacement surgery, ortho surgeon told me that whole life I have to use western toilet because I will not be able to sit on the floor so I can not use indian toilet. Is there any physiotherapy ? which can enable me to sit on the floor and to use indian toilet. Please guide from your long experience. Thanks.

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Are you able to do squats comfortably?
Usually after femur bone displacement surgery it is better to use Western toilets so there is less pressure on the affected part and thus better in the long run.

I have tooth sensitivity when I eat hot soups, cold water or icecreams. I don't have any pain or injury as such. What could be causing it? What should I do? I am 36
Ans: Hello
Tooth sensitivity to hot/cold without pain or injury is not uncommon, even in your 30s.
It’s usually not a major crisis. And it's easily treatable. But it does indicate that the outermost protective layer (ENAMEL) of your teeth is compromised.

LIKELY CAUSES

1. EXPOSED DENTIN: Enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the inner sensitive dentin.
2. GUM RECESSION : Aggressive brushing, grinding, or gum issues can pull gums back and expose tooth roots. Roots don’t have enamel.
3. ENAMEL EROSION : Acidic foods/drinks, acid reflux, or whitening products can thin enamel over time.
4. CRACKED FILLING or SMALL CAVITY : Might not hurt yet but still lets temperature through.
5. TEETH GRINDING /CLENCHING: Wears enamel and can cause microfractures.
6. RECENT DENTAL WORK: Cleanings, whitening, or fillings can cause temporary sensitivity for weeks.

What you can do right now:

- SWITCH TOOTHPASTE : Use a desensitizing toothpaste with potassium nitrate or stannous fluoride . Takes 2-4 weeks of daily use to really work.
- BRUSH GENTLER : Soft-bristle brush only. No scrubbing. Think "massage," not "scour."
- SKIP ACIDS: Avoid acidic food or beverages.
- FLUORIDE MOUTHWASH: OTC fluoride rinse at night helps strengthen enamel.
- CHECK FOR NIGHT GRINDING : If you wake with a sore jaw, ask your dentist about a night guard.

Red flags to book a dentist's appointment sooner: Sensitivity that lingers >30 sec, one specific tooth that’s way worse, visible gum recession, or if it keeps getting worse despite using desensitizing toothpaste.

A dentist can spot the exact cause and may do: fluoride varnish, bonding over exposed roots, treating gum disease, or replace a leaky filling.
