People with heart problems should provide a detailed medical history to their dentists. The decision to treat and prescribe medicine is based upon this history. Heart ailments such as myocardial infarction, irregular heartbeats or arrythimias need to be assessed, as also patients who have undergone bypass surgery. During this period the heart is unstable. Stress from some dental procedures can increase the body’s adrenaline as much as twenty times. Therefore, we avoid epinephrine (the synthetic form of adrenaline) in the local anaesthesia used. Following major heart surgery it is advisable to wait at least 6 months to perform dental treatment. In case of an emergency such as a toothache, abscess or other severe dental infection, it is important to study all the parameters influencing the health of the cardiac patient and work along with the Cardiologist. The toothache may take precedence over the post-surgical heart condition.
Does it really matter if you lose a tooth?
Does it really matter if you lose a tooth? Every tooth in your mouth plays an important role in speaking, chewing and in maintaining proper alignment of your other teeth. Tooth loss is not restricted to just kids and seniors, so if you lose a tooth the gap must be filled by a dental implant, bridge or removable denture for your mouth to function properly. Make an appointment with us at Acharya Dental to get the best recommendations for missing teeth.
How to get rid of Plaque?
How do you get rid of #plaque? One of the best ways to get rid of plaque is by brushing and cleaning your teeth regularly. Brush your teeth twice per day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your toothbrush should fit your mouth and allow you to reach all areas easily. Use an antimicrobial toothpaste containing fluoride, which helps protect your teeth from decay. Clean between the teeth once a day with floss or interdental cleaners to remove plaque from between the teeth. Make an appointment with us at Acharya Dental to learn more about how to cater to your dental needs.

What is Bruxism?
About one out of three people suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding). Most of the times, bruxism is attributed to stress and anxiety but sometimes it can also be caused by a change in the way the upper and the lower teeth fit together or by a missing or crooked tooth. When a person has bruxism, the enamel is worn off leading to exposure of the dentin and the chewing surfaces look flat. Excessive bruxism might lead to severe jaw pain, tense muscle, headaches and sensitivity of the teeth.
How to prevent Bad breath?
How do you prevent bad breath from getting worse? Here are some tips.
1) Clean your tongue: The surface of the tongue is home to a potentially foul-smelling bacteria combined with dead cells. Be sure to brush your tongue with your toothbrush after you finish brushing.
2) Rinse after eating and drinking: Rinsing with water works after meals, no matter what you have eaten. Swishing the water around may help remove some of the food particles left in the mouth after a meal and prevent bad breath from setting in.
3) Eat to smell sweet: Celery, carrots and apples are all good options to munch after a meal because these fiber-packed foods will help remove any food that’s stuck in your teeth. These foods also stimulate saliva, which is detrimental to bacteria.
If bad breath persists even after taking these measures, then make an appointment with us at Acharya Dental to find out the exact cause and treatment.
