1) Many common beliefs about dental procedures and oral health are false, such as the idea that brushing teeth too vigorously prevents decay or that dental checkups are unnecessary without apparent problems.
2) Delaying dental treatment can allow infections to spread and worsen, so it is important to seek care for issues like toothaches, swellings, and extractions during pregnancy.
3) Temporary pain relief methods like using powdered medications in a decayed tooth are ineffective and can make the underlying dental problem worse; proper treatment from a dentist is needed to fully address the issue.

Key Points
What is good dental hygiene?
The importance of practicing good dental hygiene.
How can parents ensure children are practicing good dental hygiene?
What are the possible health consequences of poor dental hygiene?
What educational resources are available for parents?
Benefits of regular visits to the dentist.
What are the consequences of poor dental hygiene?
1. Cavities or dental carries are one of the most chronic childhood diseases in the United States. Untreated cavities can lead to issues with eating, speaking and playing in addition to pain.
2. Gum disease (an infection or swelling of the gums), halitosis (bad breath) and plaque (a white-ish substance that sticks to teeth when food is mixed with bacteria) are also consequences of poor dental hygiene.
3. Teeth in poor condition can lead to self-confidence issues and child could become introverted.
4. Poor dental hygiene during childhood can lead to poor dental hygiene in adulthood.
5. Poor dental hygiene has been linked to cardiovascular problems.
How are dental cavities formed?
Bacteria in plaque produces acids that stick to teeth and breaks down enamel over time forming a cavity. A cavity is a permanently damaged area in the hard surface of the tooth that eventually leads to little holes in your teeth.
Eating foods that are high in sugar and starches produce acids that can weaken the enamel of the tooth and lead to cavities.
Complications caused by cavities.
Pain- Untreated cavities can cause pain that can interfere with daily activities.
Tooth abscess- A pocket of pus in a tooth that causes infection.
Swelling or pus around a tooth- A pocket of pus at the base of the tooth.
Damaged or broken teeth- Cavities weaken the structure of the tooth and can lead to damage or breakage. When baby teeth are damaged the damage can ‘spread’ to the adult teeth.
Chewing problems. As a result of pain or damaged teeth, chewing can be a problem that can eventually lead to nutrition issues.
Shifting of teeth due to teeth loss. Not replacing a tooth when it is lost can affect the position of remaining teeth.
Gingivitis (gum disease). Gums will appear red and inflamed causing pain and possible bleeding while brushing.
Gum disease.
Gingivitis precedes a severe form of gum disease called periodontitis. Gingivitis is caused by plaque build up and leads to irritated and swollen gums. The teeth are still firmly planted in the sockets and there is no irreversible bone damage at that stage.
If gingivitis is left untreated it can advance to periodontitis. Periodontitis is characterized by the by the inner layer of the gum and bones pulling away from the teeth and forming pockets. These spaces can collect food debris and cause infections.
Poisons produced by bacteria break d ...
2. Introduction
As news travels faster like speed of light, rumors, urban legends and wrong beliefs spread quickly
too. That includes false beliefs about dental care.
Like lawyers say justice delayed is justice denied. I can equally say,
treatment delayed is treatment
denied.
3. FALSE: Brushing teeth several times and using too much force help to prevent tooth decay
TRUTH: Typically brushing twice a day and in right manner using soft brush with less force is enough to keep
your teeth clean. Actually brushing more often and using too much force can destroy/ erode the hard tooth
substance leading to sensitivity, pain or even fracture.
4. FALSE: There’s no need to see a dentist if you don’t feel or see apparent dental problem
TRUTH: No matter how beautiful or strong your teeth seem to be, a regular dental checkup is the most important thing you
can do for your dental health, next to brushing and flossing. You need to have your teeth checked and cleaned
professionally near gum line and places you can’t easily see.
5. Also a tooth that looks healthy and white can still have cavities, problem with roots or any issues requiring
treatment. A dentist can see these problems and it’s always better and cheaper to start treatment earlier.
Remember diseases like HIV/ AIDS, Diabetes, Leukemia and many others manifests in the mouth earlier before
the patients gets general symptoms.
6. FALSE: Do not eat anything when you are going for tooth extraction.
TRUTH: Starvation can make you collapse during the tooth extraction process. Anxiety when coupled with less
blood sugar can lead to less perfusion and hence collapse. This wrong belief is associated with general
anesthesia were patients are not allowed to eat for certain period of time. In tooth extraction local anesthesia is
used around the area of operation so does not have any systemic outcomes.
7. FALSE: do not extract a tooth or do a root canal treatment when you have a swelling especially abscess.
TRUTH: tooth extraction or root canal treatment will help to establish drainage for pus to come out and take
care of infection. Sometimes even without necessitating antibiotics and pain killers. Delay in seeking dental
treatment may lead to serious spread of infection to other vital parts of the body like brain and chest.
8. FALSE: a pregnant woman is not supposed to have a tooth extraction or any dental treatment until after delivery.
TRUTH: A pregnant woman is supposed to live a healthy life free from any type of infections. A good nutrition coupled
with healthy teeth and gums will lead to a healthy mother and baby. It is dangerous for a pregnant woman to go without
dental care during pregnancy as it can cause serious infections and undue stress and pain. Most gum diseases in pregnancy
(esp. periodontal infections) may cause Preterm low birth weight babies.
9. FALSE: The sure way of treating toothache is extraction.
TRUTH: There are a lot of treatment options for a diseased tooth than extraction e.g Root Canal Treatment. Tooth
extraction as a treatment is only done when other means of treating the tooth are impossible and mostly due to delay in
seeking dental treatment.
10. Tooth extraction can lead to some problems like; decreased chewing ability, esthetic (beauty) impairment,
speech impairment, jaw joint problems, disturbed teeth relationships. Artificial teeth are available for
replacement but they are relatively expensive and care demanding.
11. FALSE: putting powder of pain killers like Aspirin, Panadol and Cafenol in the hole of decayed tooth help to
stop pain.
TRUTH: like in any other diseases, stopping pain without treating what is causing it is a temporary solution and
actually makes the disease to progress further. Further more, these painkillers can burn soft tissues surrounding
the tooth and also make the tooth brittle which can lead to difficult extraction
12. FALSE: Good teeth are inherited
TRUTH: Genetics contribute very little to appearance and healthy of your teeth, keeping your teeth clean and
visiting the dentist regularly are the important things to keep your teeth healthy. A similar oral health status in a
family may be related to the same nutritional lifestyle.
13. FALSE: Teeth eruption causes diarrhea
TRUTH: Teeth eruption is a normal biological process and does not cause diarrhea. Teeth eruption Starts almost
at the same stage of crawling and passive immunity from the mother is over while child own immunity is not
yet mature. As a result of crawling the child may pick and eat anything (dirty or clean) within reach, when this
is coupled with immature immunity diarrhea is likely to occur.
14. FALSE : A child born with teeth (neonatal teeth) or whose upper front teeth erupt before the lower teeth is a
sign of bad lack in the family
TRUTH: The two cases are abnormal like any abnormality of one or many organs/structures in some of
individuals, they are no associated with bad luck like any other abnormalities.
