Is Sugar-Free Chewing Gum Really Good For Your I Teeth?6 Facts about It Here- Juniper Publishers

Authored by Daniel Craig Hetrelezis

The good's

Chewing gum stimulates saliva flow: Saliva contains many tooth-protective molecules including calcium which can help keep the enamel strong and prevent tooth-nasty bacteria from sticking to tooth surfaces.

Chewing gum clears debris from your mouth: the increased volume of saliva helps wash away food particles, keeping away anything that tooth-nasty bacteria can get their hands on.

Chewing gum helps with bad breath: dry mouth means sulfur made from bacteria on the tongue can evaporate easier. Sulfur evaporation from the tongue creates a bad smell.

The bad's

Excessive gum chewing can aggravate the jaw joint: when you chew gum excessively, the jaw and the joint it sits in becomes tender and aggravated. Try to limit chewing to no more than 15 minutes, 4 times a day, between meals.

Chewing gum with a pre-existing jaw problem can worsen it: sometimes it better to let a sore jaw rest.

Chewing gum doesn't substitute good brushing and cleaning. There are a lot of hard to reach places in the mouth that just need a good old brush and floss. It's like dirty dishes that need to be scrubbed before they're put into a dishwasher

Conclusion

Sugar-free chewing gum is good for your teeth, but avoid using it for long durations. If your jaw becomes sore or is already sore, see a dentist about it and discontinue it's use immediately. And don't forget to brush and floss.

            Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Effect of Pistacia Atlantica and Hypericum Perforatum as a Healing Accelerator Remedy on Induced Oral Mucositis in Male Golden Hamster- Juniper Publishers Authored by Nader Tanideh Abstract Oral mucositis is a painful condition that occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy. P. atlantica and H. perforatum have long been known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as an alternative medicine. This study evaluated the healing effects of extraction of P. atlantica and H. perforatum, on 5-FU induced oral mucositis in golden hamsters by histopathology, clinically, and anti-oxidative assessments. Oral mucositis was induced in 60 male golden hamsters by administration of 5-FU (60mg/kg), on days 0, 5, and 10 of the study. Animals were randomly divided in 5 groups, (n=12). They were treated with hydro-alcoholic extract of H. perforatum (topical gel 10%) (Group 1), P. atlanti

Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations- Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY & ORAL HEALTH Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations Authored by Charles J Arcoria Abstract Dentists practicing in a mission setting have limited options for comprehensive treatment of patients because of the distance from the full resources available in conventional dental office setting. Because of the limited time aspect of team mission work, emergency extractions and limited operative treatment are typically performed. Inherently, the lack of follow-up care with extensive restorations and the need for proper maintenance, preclude many treatment modalities. As a result, this efficient but not simplistic model of mission dentistry is designed to deliver treatment that can be quickly accomplished with recurrent follow-up over a series of eight week time frames. These three clinical case presentations document the type of functional and esthetic tr

Several GTR materials and bone grafts have been attempted but showed variable success rates. Objective: The present randomized clinical and radiographic study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by using equine bioabsorbable collagen membrane with or without equine bone graft in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects affected by aggressive periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Ten systemically healthy patients with 20 periodontal intrabony defects were enrolled as a split mouth design. These de
