Regular visits to a dentist are very important for monitoring jaw growth, especially in children. Dentists can assess jaw development, identify potential issues like misaligned teeth or bite problems early, and guide proper jaw growth. Early intervention can help prevent complications like speech difficulties or chewing problems.

Most widespread yet misunderstood diseases in the world — Dental Caries.

1. Caries is not caused by sugar itself — but by the acid-producing bacteria that feast on it.

2. It’s a transmissible infection, often passed from caregiver to child.

3. Caries can start forming within 5 minutes of sugar exposure.

4. Some salivary proteins actually promote demineralization if the pH is chronically low.

5. Deep carious lesions can still be asymptomatic, tricking both patients and practitioners.

6. Caries is a biofilm-mediated, diet-modulated, multifactorial disease — it’s not just a “hole in the tooth.”

7. Caries is now classified as a non-communicable disease (NCD) due to its chronic, lifestyle-linked nature.

Dental caries is more than just a cavity. It reflects a breakdown in the balance between protective and destructive factors in the oral environment. Understanding this helps us not only treat but prevent caries more effectively — through patient education, diet counseling, fluoride strategies, and minimally invasive techniques.

Gum disease is not just an oral health issue—it’s a serious systemic health concern.

🔵 Here's how it happens:

When plaque builds up on teeth and gums, it harbors bacteria that cause inflammation. In periodontitis, these bacteria and inflammatory mediators can enter the bloodstream through bleeding gums.

Once in circulation, they can:

➡️ Trigger systemic inflammation that contributes to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries).

➡️ Promote plaque buildup in blood vessels, increasing the risk of blockages.

➡️ Elevate C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, a marker associated with heart disease.

➡️ Potentially cause endothelial dysfunction, impairing blood vessel health.

Several studies show a strong link between chronic periodontal disease and increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, and even diabetes complications.

The retainer needed for tongue trusters and thumb suckers to prevent relapse

A retainer with tongue crib after orthodontic treatment to help prevent teeth from shifting back into their original position. A tongue crib is a small appliance that retrains the tongue to its normal position and prevents it from pushing the teeth forward. It can also help prevent thumb sucking, which can cause orthodontic issues.
