A good and controlled diet always leads to healthy teeth.You can take advice from dentist that what all foods you can and cannot have for the healthy teeth.The forbidden foods will be hard candies,starchy foods,chewy foods like caramel toffees,sugary sodas etc.These foods remain in the teeth for a long time even if you have finished eating them.Then there will be a hike in the harmful bacterias which will drill through the enamel finally causing tooth decay,gum disease,cavities etc.
Really,dental problems can be prevented with a diet that will reduce dental diseases.People whose saliva contains more vitamin K are less susceptible to oral diseases.Vitamin K is called as one of the key nutrients for dental health and vitamin K causes the deposition of calcium in the teeth which inturn renders strength to the teeth.
Common Sources of Vitamin K are:
- Liver
- Fats of grazing animals
- Egg Yolk
- Cheese and butter
There is an another Asian product (Mostly seen in Japanese markets) called Nato a soy product which is fermented to render high quantity of Vitamin K.
A diet that includes cod liver oil and butter oil which contains high quantities of vitamins are found to prevent the tooth decay.If this diet is made completely without any sugar helps the teeth to rebuild itself naturally.To speed up the healing process some dentists use a drop of a combination of cod liver oil and butter oil as a part of treatment.
A proper and healthy diet are needed for a baby to build up a strong and wide palate.If the baby is not nourished with proper diet there is a greater chance for the formation of large palate causing to emerge misaligned teeth which ultimately lead to dental braces in children.These dental braces in children can be avoided when the baby is properly nutrified from the earlier stages of development that is from the foetal stages to the first years of his life for a strong and wide palate.
It is clear from these facts that you can build up strong teeth with a proper diet and avoid most of the dental problems in the earlier stages of life itself.Eating right food can surely fight against oral diseases.

Diabetes in a patient also causes some problems in their oral health.It is not important that the patient suffering from diabetes have a long lasting and severe oral health troubles but a dramatic increase in blood sugar levels will have serious impact on teeth,gums,tongue etc.The theory behind the connection between Diabetes and oral health is that when the blood sugar levels are uncontrolled it affects the white blood cells adversely which are the first line of defense of our body which ultimately lead to bacterial oral infections like gum disease.
Common oral problems that affect Diabetics are:
- Gingivitis or inflammation of gums
- periodontal disease or gum disease
- Xerostomia or dry mouth
- Oral inflammation of mouth or tongue
- Halitosis or bad breath
Periodontal disease in a diabetic has a greater chance for an increase in blood sugar levels.Dryness of mouth are one of the aftereffect of Diabetes which means there is a low production of saliva in the mouth which can cause decay because of the improper rinsing of the mouth.This improper rinsing of the mouth
causes the food debris adhered in the mouth that cause rot which eventually lead to tooth decay.Ask your dentist to recommend a saliva substitute to keep your mouth wet and have fluoride containing products regularly to prevent decay.
Diabetics are also at high risk for fungal infections called oral Candidiasis.The normal treatment by a dentist is to prescribe to the patient some anti fungal applications or tablets to deal with the infection and this diseased person will also suffer from inflammation of mouth or tongue.This patient will also suffer from Halitosis or bad breath,so the best thing is to give treatment for tooth decay since mouth rinsing may not help much.
If you have high blood sugar level then it is much better to postpone any kind of dental surgery because the wounds do not heal quickly.Let your dentist know everything about your previous medical history so that the dentist can give you instructions according to that.Diabetic patient undergoing orthodontic treatment should immediately consult the orthodontist if you had some wounds due to wires or bracket poking.

Dental care is very important for all aged people since the lose of one permanent tooth is the loss forever.And the older people have much complicated and different types of dental problems compared with the younger people.Even so,proper dental care from the small age itself can prevent most of the dental problems.
One of the most common dental problems that the older people face are the cavities.Dry mouth is the one condition that ultimately lead to tooth decay and one of the cause of dry mouth is any kind of medication taken by the elder people.As part of the ageing process they may start to notice their gums receding exposing the root of the tooth to the cavities.If the older people doesn’t had the benefit of having fluoridated water during their younger days,the chance of weakening the teeth are more.
People of this age may experience tooth sensitivity to the utmost temperatures,sweet and sour foods etc. due to the gum recession exposing the tooth root.Brushing with formulated toothpastes and using fluoridated oral products can somehow minimize the tooth sensitivity.The much better option is to do a soft tissue graft by consulting a dentist.
Senior citizens are more at the risk of oral cancer than the younger people and their life long habit of smoking and drinking increases the chance for this disease.It should be brought to the attention of a doctor immediately if a lesion or sore is seen in the mouth.
The most common problem with the elderly people is the loosening of teeth.A better suggestion to this problem is to consult a Periodontist who will recommend a thorough checkup.
Older adults who are fitted with dentures sometimes feel some discomfort with the fitting of dentures.This is because the bones and gums that support dentures also begin to loose strength and change shape as you get older.Take the dentures to the dentist as soon as possible rather than to correct it yourself.
The problem of the teeth will eventually lead to Malnutrition since the older people mostly have the problems of chewing and swallowing.So it is much better to have a balanced type of eating habit which include a lot of grains,fruits and vegetables and limit your intake of salt.Regular consultation (normally once in 6 months) with the dentist is the only way to save your teeth.

Orthodontic treatment with arch wires has got inevitable features of wires that has to be remembered and some of these features are given below:-
- Spring Back:It is the measure of how far a wire can be deflected without causing permanent deformation.It is also called elastic deflection.
- Stiffness:The presence of a low stiffness provides the ability to apply lower forces and a more constant force over time.
- Formability:The arch wire has to exhibit high formability so as to bend into desired configuration such as coils,loops etc without fracturing the wire.
- Resilience:It is the amount of force the wire can withstand before permanent deformation.
- Biocompatibility and Environmental stability:Orthodontic arch wires should exhibit resistance to tarnish and corrosion and should be non-toxic.The material should maintain its desirable properties for extended periods of time after manufacture.
- Joinability:The wire should be amenable to soldering and welding
- Friction:The Arch wire should provide least friction at the wire-bracket interface.

Brackets act as handlers to transmit the force from the active components to the teeth.Brackets have one or more slots that accept the arch wire.Brackets can be available in different designs and can be classified in a number of ways.
- Edge type of bracket:Brackets used in the Edgewise and Straight Wire technique have a horizontal slot facing labially.These brackets with rectangular slots are so called because they accept wires of rectangular cross-section with the larger dimension being horizontal.These brackets provide greater control over tooth movement and do not permit tipping of teeth
- Ribbon Arch Brackets:They are brackets which possess a vertical slot facing the occlusal or gingival direction.This kind of bracket is used with round wires to bring about tipping of teeth in labio-lingual as well as mesio-distal direction.These are used in Begg fixed appliance.
- Weldable and Bondable brackets:Weldable brackets can be welded on to bands which in turn are cemented around the teeth and Bondable brackets can be bonded directly over the enamel.The under surface of bondable brackets has a mesh or grooves to help in interlocking with the adhesive while weldable brackets have a metal flange that can be welded to the band.
- Metallic Brckets:Steel brackets are most commonly used of this type.The advantages are:-
- They can be recycled and sterilized
- They resist deformation and fracture
- They exhibit the least friction at the wire bracket interface
- Ceramic Brackets:They are made up of aluminium oxides or Zirconium oxides.They are dimensionally stable,durable and resist staining in the oral environment but they are brittle and to compensate,their size is increased which tends to increase their bulk and also exhibit greater friction at the wire bracket compared to metallic brackets.
- Plastic Brackets:They are mostly made up of Poly carbonates which are mainly meant to increase the esthetic value and they are available both in coloured or transparent forms.The main disadvantage is the friction between plastic brackets and metal arch wire is very high.
