DR Prabhu, Dentist sharing his experiences enlightened the audience on teeth care. Brushing teeth twice a day, with a soft or medium brush, new one every 6 weeks, using appropriate pressure so not to damage the gums and moving the brush in a direction to remove the food particles, avoiding the use of pins or tooth picks but using floss to remove the stuck food particles are the key preventive measures. Bleeding gums, sensitive teeth suggest gum problems and if immediately attention is seeked can avoid further problems as cavities, abscess etc.
Any diabetic, hypetensive or a heart patient should see their medical doctor to get a clearance to undergo dental procedure, to avoid bleeding chances and alter the medicines required as pain killers and antibiotics. session was very interactive and lively.
