Brushing The Right Way For Healthy Teeth And Gums

Our smile is one of the most precious things we have and like all precious things it deserves proper care and maintenance. We do so much to keep our smile healthy-brushing, flossing, rinsing. According to the experts at Ridgetop Dental International’s family dental care in Bangalore, mere brushing is not enough. Proper brushing technique is important for maintaining healthy teeth.  Being aware of proper brushing technique can help to ensure healthy teeth and beautiful smile. Here are some important things to keep in mind when brushing.

Selecting the right tooth brush is important

Toothbrushes come in different varieties- some toothbrushes have angled bristles, others straight, some have hard bristles, some have soft. So, which type of toothbrush to use for good cleaning of mouth? When buying toothbrushes there are certain things to keep in mind- Bristles that are too stiff can aggravate the gums. The experts recommend soft-bristled brushes. The bristles of your brush should be sturdy enough to remove plaque but not hard enough to damage your teeth when used properly, advise the experts at Ridgetop dental clinic in Koramangala.

Use your brush properly

Use circular or up-and-down strokes to remove plaque, and don’t brush horizontally across your teeth. Be sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth and your tongue.

Do not brush too hard or too often

While brushing your teeth three times a day is ideal, more may not be. Excessive brushing could expose the root of the tooth to irritation, and that could in turn irritate the gums. Brushing vigorously can also erode tooth enamel. The trick is to brush very gently for two to three minutes.

Rinse your toothbrush after brushing

You should always rinse your toothbrush thoroughly after brushing. If you don’t, bacteria will grow on the bristles, and you will reintroduce it into your mouth the next time you brush.

With the use of better brushing techniques, you will notice improvement in the overall health of your teeth. 

Follow these simple tips by Ridgetop Dental International’s dentists in Koramangala and flaunt your gorgeous smile for many years to come.

Tips To Keep Plaque At Bay

Dental plaques not just spoil our beautiful smile but can also threaten the health of our teeth, gums, and mouth. Therefore, preventing plaque buildup not just helps us maintain an alluring smile but also saves us from many future dental problems. So, here are some very useful tips to avoid plaque and tartar, brought to you by Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd, the leading dental clinic in Bangalore.

What is plaque and tartar?

Plaque is a sticky, colorless deposit of bacteria that is constantly forming on the tooth surface. Saliva, food, and fluids combine to produce these deposits that collect on teeth and where teeth and gums meet. This plaque hardens after some days on teeth surface, just above the gum line or between teeth gaps to form tartar.

Why is it necessary to get rid of plaque?

The bacteria living in the plaque release acids that weaken tooth enamel and increase the risk of tooth decay. The bacteria and their acids also raise the risk of gum inflammation; therefore, plaque removal and prevention is absolutely necessary for maintaining healthy teeth.

How to prevent plaque buildup?

·          

      Brushing: Your toothbrush is an effective "weapon" against plaque that you should use after every meal if possible. An anti-bacterial substance called triclosan in toothpastes reduces plaque; therefore, brushing your teeth will significantly interrupt the growth of plaque bacteria on your teeth when done correctly.

·         Flossing: Brushing doesn’t reach the spaces between teeth, but plaque does. A simple daily flossing between teeth clears away plaque before it can cause damage, say Ridgetop Dental International’s expert dentists in Indiranagar. Flossing also cleans plaque at the gum line, another area that brushing doesn’t reach. If left alone, plaque below the gum line can lead to periodontal disease.

·         Mouth Rinsing: There's another important step in your daily fight against plaque: the antimicrobial rinse. After you brush and floss, a good swish of mouthwash can disinfect your mouth and prevent plaque buildup.

·         Drink plenty of water: Drinking plenty of water is not just good for your body but also, help you avoid plaque buildup, by washing out the bacteria from your mouth. 

• Visit your dentist at least once a year for professional cleanings and oral exams.

Plaque is one of the most common complaints that often trouble people. Therefore, prevent them before they become a big problem for you. Simply follow the simple tips above and visit a good dentist like Ridgetop Dental International’s best dentists in Bangalore, to maintain a beautiful, plaque free smile forever.

So, how can that be achieved? Porcelain veneers is the answer, read on to find out, how?

What are veneers?

Veneers are thin laminates designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are used to improve your smile since they are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that covers worn tooth enamel, discoloured teeth, uneven tooth alignment or spacing and chips/cracks. 

Dental veneers are part of cosmetic dentistry because they can create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Our cosmetic dentists in Bangalore may use one veneer to restore a single tooth or multiple veneers to create a "Celebrity" makeover.

Why go for dental veneers?
Porcelain veneers are not only durable and hardwearing but they also take on a natural, tooth-colored appearance, setting them apart from other types of treatment such as composite veneers. The effect is a sparkly, perfect smile that fits in with your face so that your teeth will appear simply as if they’re in stunning condition.

How can a cosmetic dentist help?
The specialists at our dental clinic in Bangalore will take a precise impression of your mouth so that your veneers can be carefully tailored to the exact shape of your teeth.

Dental Crowns-All You Need To Know

There are millions of people across the globe who have had a dental crown to replace a missing tooth or strengthen a weakened tooth. A dental crown is a dental material that is applied over the crown of the tooth to provide it with protection and support. If you would like to know more about dental crowns, then here is some useful information brought to you by Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd, one of the leading dental clinic in Bangalore for general dentistry & cosmetic procedures.

What is a dental crown?

The anatomy of a tooth can be divided into two basic parts -- the root and the crown. The part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth, above the gum line on lower teeth and below the gum line on upper teeth, is called the clinical crown. A cemented restoration that partially or completely covers the outside of the clinical crown is referred to as a dental crown, or cap.

When is a dental crown needed?

Here are some conditions for which the leading cosmetic dentists in Bangalore would recommend dental crowns:

1To provide strength to a large filling

2.In Root Canal Treatment

3.Cracked tooth syndrome

4.Broken Cusps

5.Undesirable appearance of teeth

6.To hold a dental bridge in place

7.To cover a dental implant

8.To make cosmetic modification

Types of dental crowns available

Crowns can be made out of a gold alloy, some other metal alloy, stainless steel, all-porcelain/all-ceramic, composite resin, zirconia, or porcelain on the outside fused to metal or zirconia on the inside.

Will there be pain?

The tooth being restored is numbed so that it isn't painful during the crown preparation. After the procedure is over and the anaesthesia has worn off, the patient may feel some sensitivity with the temporary crown or some soreness in the gums around the tooth. The pain is very minimal though and shouldn't last long.

Tips To Keep Pearly Whites, White Forever!

No matter what the fashion trend this season, one fashion accessory that never goes out of vogue is-dazzling white smile.  But unfortunately, due to our poor eating and drinking habits and bad oral hygiene, our pearly whites lose their natural shine and whiteness. So, is there a way to whiten them? Yes, actually many! Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd., a leading dental clinic in Bangalore, who have been helping patients get the perfect white, dazzling smile since many years explain what it takes to get a flashy white smile. Read on to find out.

Watch your diet

If you’re drinking a lot of red wine or black tea, or smoking cigarettes, expect the results to show up as not-so-pearly whites. Other culprits include colas, gravies and dark juices. Brush your teeth immediately after having foods that stain.

Go for whitening gel

While many products claim to have whitening results, only a gel will actually be able to whiten beyond surface stains.

Drink with a straw

Doing away with most of the beverages is easier said than done. Even if you can’t avoid drinking them you surely can avoid them contacting your teeth by sipping from a straw!

Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables

The abrasive quality of crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, carrots, etc. can help clean stains from your teeth.

Most-important-Visit your dentist regularly

Whatever tips you choose to follow it is of utmost importance to visit your dentist regularly. Along with the routine check-up your dentist can remove stubborn tooth stains with scaling and other tooth whitening procedures.

Importance Of Dental Visits For Children

Our body is a precious gift of God to us; therefore, it is our responsibility to take care of it. Our pearly whites, often the most neglected ones, need good amount of care in order to remain beautiful forever. But, few people look forward to going to the doctor or a dentist, and kids can be even more unwilling than adults. Regular doctor and dentist visits is the key to maintaining good health, and helping children get into the habit of regular checkups will enable them to continue this practice when they’re adults. The experts at Ridgetop Dental International Pvt Ltd. explain why it is important for the kids to start dental checkups early.

When to start?

It's important to get an early start on dental care, so that your child will learn that visiting the dentist is a regular part of health care. The first step is to choose a dentist for your child. Our experts at Jayanagar dental clinic advice clients to have oral assessment of infants within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth or by one year of age. 

Importance of dentist visits for kids

·         If your child does not have routine dental check-ups then you could be setting them up for a lifetime of dental problems and possibly a loss of all of their teeth.

·         There are many problems that could occur when a child does not see a dentist regularly. Cavities, for one, can be caught early on with routine dental exams. If cavities aren't taken care of early on then they can cause the rotting of the whole tooth that the cavity is in.

·         Sometimes a dental problem can also be a sign of another health problem. So this makes routine dental check-ups even more important for the health of your children.

·         A professional paediatric dentist will provide you with expert tips on how to take care of your child's teeth at home. Advice typically includes the proper way to floss and brush your child's teeth and additional information based on the specific condition of your child's teeth.

At Ridgetop Dental International we offer comprehensive children's dentistry enabling us to become the best dentist in Bangalore.
