Top Reasons For Tooth Loss That Will Shock You

A few days back a group of dentist attended a school to explain the children dental hygiene, they communicated with different kids about their healthy eating habits, tooth friendly foods and cleaning their teeth. Further on they encouraged them to brush their teeth two times a day and gave a group of children few mouth models to observe their brushing practices explaining them how it could be improved. At the end the dentist gave kids complimentary gifts with tooth paste, tooth

brush,brushing charts and balloons.

The main aim towards this activity was to explain the importance of oral hygiene to the children. Altamash Dental Clinic has been offering dental care and dental treatments to all its patients who have returned happily with big smile at the end. They are offering number of treatments and procedures related to tooth and gum problems, when a child loses his first teeth its time to glee but if an adult loses his permanent teeth contact Altamash dental clinic.

When an adult loses his permanent teeth its not normal and there can be several reasons associated with it; it could be due to the decay or hereditary factor or due to traumatic injury. Oral hygiene is important otherwise permanent teeths can be lost forever. One of the most acute cause of tooth loss is gum diseases. Gum is the structure on which the teeth rest and if it gets infectious teeth loosen and fall out or have to be extracted in order to stop it spreading. Gum disease can be prevented by taking a good care of oral hygiene and having health food.

There are a lot of foods which build cavities, especially the ones which have high level of carbohydrates. Dentist often refrain people from having huge quantities of sweet and sticky food like chocolates, sweets or fizzy drinks and starchy foods as they increase the risk of tooth decay by building more and more cavities. In all such cases once the tooth decay occurs with severe toothache and dentist has to be consulted immediately to take correct actions.

Top Reasons for tooth loss 

Brushing teeth at least twice a day is important otherwise it can cause tooth decay, cavity starts building up and even the bacteria collect together to cause tooth decay. Smoking is also bad for oral hygiene, the people who smoke often have pale colored or even damaged teeth which look dirty; tobacco is harmful for gums and teeth. Saliva in the mouth keeps the teeth clean; while smoking tobacco interferes in the production of saliva and reduces its outcome. Smoking is harmful for oral hygiene.

Few people have a habit of bruxism which can cause fractures in their teeth by teeth grinding. Altamash dental clinic has answers for this problem but if a crack or fracture has occurred it has to be treated or the teeth has to be extracted in some cases. It is wise to take action when the first signal of pain or infection rises before the problem gets out of control. Teeths are very important and play a huge role in beautifying the facial expressions hence they have to be taken care of at all times.

Studies have shown that gum diseases in people can lead to stroke or developing coronary artery disease. Today most of us have gum diseases which we are not even aware of until we get a regular dental checkup.

Plaque is another killer of our teeth, it destroys the teeth by creating a sticky film of bacteria's to cover the teeth along the gum line and over the time destroys it unless the dentist has examined and removed it. The dentists at Altamash Dental Clinic know the importance of teeth in the overall health of an individual. To take proper care of them dentist has recommended few tips.

Floss Your Teeth, Lose Your Cavity

Your oral cavity might be confined to dangerous bacteria and germs. Regardless of how well you care for your teeth, there is always that danger of bacteria and microorganisms getting trapped in between your teeth, particularly if you do not look after them by watching your diet and practicing proper oral care hygiene habits like brushing and flossing.

People of our country find flossing merely an offbeat practice. It might seem like an extra effort because brushing our teeth every morning is already a struggle for us but we cannot deny the power of flossing and wonders it can do to our set of teeth. Flossing expels food debris bacteria from the areas that brushing cannot access, thereby preventing bacteria from building up micro-organic colonies in these areas. Additionally disturbs the microscopic organisms from transforming into plaque, which is a sticky covering of yellowish substance that stains and harms your teeth after some time.

If the practice of flossing is not followed regularly it can lead to severe gum problems. The plaque buildup stains your teeth and looks unattractive. When you don't care for your teeth, you are adequately enabling plaque to develop which can prompt gum diseases. Plaque slowly eats away and erodes your soft gum tissue; this can result in extreme decay and root canal issues.

However professional methods like Professional Dental Cleaning and scaling can also create an effective deterrence to plaque build-up to remove the bacteria at the base of the teeth and from the most vulnerable point of the gums.



At Altamash Dental Clinic, our team of dentists are professionally trained and experienced in carrying out simple to advanced procedures skillfully and expertly. Their deep-cleaning is a nonsurgical procedure that is done under a local anesthetic, whereby plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line are scraped away (scaling) and rough spots on the tooth root are made smooth (planing).

Root Canal Treatment Is Not Painful

Do you have severe, persistent, throbbing toothache that radiates to your jawbone, neck, and ear or noticing sudden swelling in your cheek? It might be due to tooth abscess. It is a pocket of pus which is caused by a bacterial infection.

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that replaces a tooth’s damaged or abscess (infected pulp) with a filling. The pulp consists of specialized dental cells, blood vessels, tissue fibres and some nerve fibres located in the hollow space in the central part of the tooth. The procedure is also known as endodontic treatment. Success rates for endodontic treatment are generally good. About 90 to 95 percent of patients who undergo root canal treatment can expect a functional tooth after the treatment. The treated tooth should last a very long time, provided that you maintain good oral hygiene and generally look after your teeth. Of course, no therapy or replacement will last as well as a healthy tooth.

Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages:

• Efficient chewing

• Normal biting force and sensation

• Natural appearance

• Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain

With a history spanning over two generations and forty-three years, Altamash Dental Clinic truly gives the city of Karachi something to smile about. Our root canal treatment has always proven to give best results to our patients and become a reason of satisfaction.
