Holidays can be a great time for you (and your children) to visit the dentist. Take this opportunity to keep up with your regular check-up and cleaning appointments so it’s one more thing you can tick off the list before work/school starts back up again. This way, everyone can start the new year with their best smile and oral health!

Don’t forget your dentist appointment

During these strange times it is easy to forget about dentist appointments, but we are keen to emphasise how important a visit is. Not only is it beneficial for your oral health, but it can give a feeling of normalcy and return to routine. Most people have looked after their oral hygiene very well during lockdown, knowing that a visit to the dentist would not be possible. However attending your dental appointments is essential as we are trained to notice any change from normal that may indicate a larger health issue, in which case we can then refer you to a specialist for further checks.

Looking after your teeth

Here is a gentle reminder on how to look after your teeth. When cleaning your teeth make sure you pay attention to all of them, including the ones in the back of your mouth, as hidden bacteria can become plaque. If you use mouthwash make sure you buy a good quality one and don’t use it straightaway after brushing, it can rinse away the fluoride which is important for the health of the teeth.

Of course the food you eat plays an important role in maintaining the health of your teeth. A balanced diet, with a focus on green vegetables, is essential. And please avoid sugary drinks as much as possible!

Avoid bad breath

Good dental routine helps avoid bad breath, as we all know it is so important to floss your teeth. If you do have bad halitosis we can check your teeth and gums

My Breath Smell Bad — Bad breath can be caused by surgical wounds after oral surgery, such as tooth removal, or as a result of tooth decay, gum disease or mouth sores

Schedule Your Dental Check-Up to Start the New Year Right!

December 29, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

Taking care of your oral health is an investment in your overall health in 2021 and beyond! Schedule your dental check-up today!

When it comes time to set your new year resolutions, put a dental check-up on the list! One of the simplest and most effective resolutions you can make is to schedule a dental check-up. Good oral hygiene is obviously something that will make a difference in your life, but you might not be aware of just how much of a positive effect it can have on your whole health.

Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are the best way to protect your oral health. Without proper brushing and flossing, plaque will begin to build up along the gum line in your mouth, which creates a breeding ground for bacteria. An infection in the gums, known as gingivitis, can lead to periodontitis, a more serious gum infection and potentially cause more serious health risks.

There are easy steps that can be made to protect and preserve the health of your mouth and ultimately your overall health. Good oral hygiene is essential, including:

Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste

Floss daily – preferably at night

Eat a healthy diet and limit sugar and in between-meal snacks

Replace your toothbrush every three to four months (or sooner if bristles are frayed)
Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings

Avoid tobacco use

Contact Neem as soon as an oral health problem arises

Book your hygiene appointment today — A dental hygiene appointment is a great way to get that deep down, fresh and clean feeling and to give you confidence in your oral health.

Sensitive Teeth

November 9, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

What causes sensitive teeth?

The tooth is made up of layers – the protective outer layer ‘enamel’ covers a softer more sensitive inner layer- ‘dentine’– which is covered in exposed nerve endings. If the dentine is exposed, a tooth can become sensitive. This usually happens when the enamel has thinned or the gum has receded. Here are some causes of sensitivity:

Tooth decay
Often the first sign of a cavity (hole) can be sensitivity to hot or cold. It is extremely important to get sensitive teeth checked as root canal treatment may be required if the hole is not dealt with quickly.

Dental erosion
This is loss of tooth enamel caused by acid attack from acidic food and drinks. Acid softens the enamel and makes it more prone to wear away. If enamel is worn away the dentine underneath is exposed, which may lead to sensitivity.

Gum recession
Gums may naturally recede (shrink back), and the roots will become exposed and can be more sensitive. Root surfaces do not have an enamel layer to protect them.

Gum disease
A build-up of plaque or tartar can cause the gum to recede down the tooth and even destroy the bony support of the tooth. Pockets can form in the gums around the tooth, making the area difficult to keep clean and the problem wors

Tooth grinding
This is a habit which involves clenching and grinding the teeth together. This can cause the enamel of the teeth to be worn away, making the teeth sensitive.

Other causes of pain from sensitivity may arise from:

Cracked teeth or fillings
Although a tooth may not physically be broken, a crack can run from the biting surface of a tooth down towards the root. Extreme temperatures, especially cold, may cause discomfort.

Tooth whitening
Some patients have sensitivity for a short time during or after having their teeth whitened. Discuss this with your dentist before having treatment.

When are teeth more likely to be sensitive?

You are more likely to feel the sensitivity when drinking or eating something cold, from cold air catching your teeth, and sometimes with hot foods or drinks. Some people have sensitivity when they have sweet or acidic food and drink. The pain can come and go, with some times being worse than others.

Do I need to go and see my dentist?

Yes, if you have tried treating your sensitive teeth for a few weeks and have had no improvement.

What treatments can the dentist offer?

During an examination the dentist will talk to you about your symptoms. They will look at your teeth to find out what is causing the sensitivity and to find the best way of treating it. The dentist may treat the affected teeth with special de-sensitising products to help relieve the symptoms. Fluoride gels, rinses or varnishes can be applied to sensitive teeth. These can be painted onto the teeth at regular appointments to build up some protection. Sensitivity can take some time to settle. If this still does not help, your dentist may seal or fill around the neck of the tooth, where the tooth and gum meet, to cover exposed dentine. In very serious cases – if the tooth is cracked or damaged- it may be necessary to crown or root-fill the tooth.

WHY REGULAR DENTAL CHECK UPS ARE SO IMPORTANT FOR HEALTHY TEETH

August 6, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

Are you amongst those individuals who have a busy life and fail to pay enough attention to your dental health? Brushing and flossing will keep your teeth clean and lessen the risks associated with oral infections and diseases. However, it is suggested to go for routine oral checkups and improve your oral health. Even if your mouth is clean and fresh, chances are you might not be able to spot out the cavities between the teeth. It is advised to see your private dentist in Harrow at least twice a year and have good oral health.

PREVENT STAINED TEETH AND GUM DISEASE

Seeing your dentist for dental check-ups regularly will help to prevent different gum diseases. If plaque accumulates in a significant amount, it may lead to inflammation and gum irritation. It helps to whiten teeth so that you can restore your brighter and whiter smile. If you consume tobacco or are addicted to smoking, you may develop stains on the teeth that affect your oral health and personality. However, you should see a dentist in order to get rid of stains.

ENHANCE THE OVERALL LIFE OF TEETH

Regular dental health check-up is extremely important to enhance the life of teeth. Obviously, you do not want to lose teeth and get them replaced with artificial ones. This may occur due to bad dental health and cleaning habits that make the teeth become loose and soft. You may talk to your dentist for strong and properly positioned teeth. Dentists may prescribe vitamins that should be consumed if your teeth require more nutrition.

IMPROVE YOUR DENTAL HEALTH AND HYGIENE

Dental hygiene is linked with your overall health condition and so, it is important to take proper care of your oral health and prevent diseases like heart disease and cancer. Though the exact link between heart disease and improper dental health is not clear, it is important to maintain good dental health and hygiene in order to decrease the risk of poor blood flow and strokes.

CLEAN MOUTH AND FRESH BREATH

Regular dental health check-ups will help you to maintain a clean mouth and fresh breath. This is possible when you brush and floss daily and it can be achieved with clean and healthy teeth and gums. It is advised to use a soft bristled tooth-brush to get rid of small food particles struck in between the teeth and ensure your gums are not damaged.

PREVENT DIFFERENT HEALTH PROBLEMS

When you visit your dentist for routine dental checkups, it gives him the chance to make out and diagnose probable health issues that might occur in future. He may suggest a suitable treatment that would help you to overcome your dental problems. Besides, he will also provide valuable tips and advice for improved your dental and overall health.

You can book your appointment at NEEM DENTAL CLINIC for regular dental check-up and serious oral problems that require immediate treatment. By taking proper care of your dental health, you can prevent various diseases and lead a better life.

How does sensitivity happen? Can tooth sensitivity be treated or avoided?

July 25, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

How does sensitivity happen?

There are several causes for sensitivity, since dentine can be exposed in a number of ways.

You may have a broken or cracked tooth, or you may have a hole as a result of tooth decay which now needs a filling.
Over-brushing your teeth (too hard or for too long) can wear down your tooth enamel.
Acidic food and drink can erode your enamel.
Receding gums can slowly expose the root of your tooth, which doesn’t have an enamel layer. This can occur naturally or through gum disease, including gingivitis.
Poor-quality cosmetic teeth whitening treatments can cause damage to your enamel.
If you grind your teeth, you can wear away your enamel or even the whole tooth.

Can tooth sensitivity be treated or avoided?

Make sure you have regular check-ups with your dentist and see your hygienist whenever you’re referred.
Follow your dentist’s or hygienist’s advice for looking after your teeth at home.
Visit your dentist as soon as you suspect you may have a problem such as a cavity, a cracked tooth or a change in your gums. Treatment can stop things getting worse.
Your dentist might recommend a fluoride gel, rinse or varnish. These can gradually build up the protective layer of your teeth.
Avoid sugary, fizzy and acidic foods and drinks.
Don’t brush your teeth from side to side – instead, use small, circular motions.
Switch to a softer toothbrush and replace it as soon as it shows signs of wear.
Use a desensitising toothpaste, ideally one with fluoride in (but take your dentist’s advice, because too much fluoride can be bad for you).

With This Week Promising To Be A ‘Scorcher’, Our Neem Dentists, Harrow/Wembley Offer Some Timely Advice.

June 16, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

If the weather reports are anywhere near accurate, this week we are likely to see temperatures reaching 30 degrees and possibly beyond. These temperatures are more typical of places like Rome and Athens than Harrow / Wembley!
We shouldn’t complain though given the unreliability of the British weather, but these temperatures don’t come without risks and we need to protect our teeth and gums when the weather gets hot.
Below, we offer our patients some basic but useful tips.

1 – Don’t use the weather to skip your dental appointment. If you have an appointment made for a check-up at Neem Dental Clinic, Harrow, please keep it. Postponing it until it cools down may result in a longer delay than you intend. We will do our best to see you as soon as we can when you come, so that you can get back out in the sun.

2 – Stay well hydrated. It is easy to become dehydrated in the hot weather and this is bad for our general health but also for our gums. Gum disease is more likely to be present in people with a dry mouth so try to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

3 – Curb those World Cup celebrations – beer is OK in moderation, but a combination of hot weather and a Euro Cup means that some people will drink a lot more than usual. The risks of accidents rise when this happens, and, as we know, alcohol also causes a dry mouth (see above).

4 – Remember to brush – The heat can be draining, especially if it is also humid. Tiredness can then easily cause us to skip brushing our teeth at night before we go to bed because we are ‘too tired’. You should never be too tired to brush your teeth; it only takes a few minutes and is the most essential thing you can do to avoid tooth decay.

5 – Restrict your ice creams – As well as beer, the sale of ice creams and soft drinks tend to rise during the hotter weather. We all know that these are high in sugar and will damage our teeth if eaten and drunk in excess. Try to replace soft drinks with water as much as you can and keep the number of ice creams down to a sensible level. If you notice, whilst eating ice cream or drinking anything really cold, that your teeth feel really sensitive, you could have damaged your teeth; so please make an appointment at our Neem dental clinic if you notice this.

By all means, do enjoy this rare heatwave and have a good time, but don’t forget that your teeth could suffer if you don’t take sufficient care.

Following the above guidelines is a good start, along with common sense of course. If you have any problems with your teeth during the hot weather, or at any time, please call the Neem Dental Clinic, Harrow for an appointment on 020 8423 2523.

Oral Hygiene – Harrow – Neem Dental Clinic

May 15, 2021 Neem Dental Clinic

Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth clean, and is considered to be the best means of prevention of cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, periodontitis, and other dental disorders. It also helps to prevent bad breath (halitosis).

Oral hygiene is necessary for all persons to maintain the health of their teeth and mouth. Healthy teeth have fewer cavities. They are clean and have minimal or no plaque deposits. Healthy gums are pink and firm.

Oral hygiene consists of both personal and professional care. Dental X-rays (radiographs) are often performed as part of routine professional examinations.

Why do I need to see a Hygienist?

Regular tooth cleaning by the dentist or dental hygienist is important to remove plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult for a patient to reach on his own at home. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Most dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every six months.

Even if you do a great job of cleaning your teeth yourself and are religious about using dental floss, you still need professional cleanings. Dental hygienists use special techniques, instruments, and their professional training to complete oral hygiene that is impossible to do yourself. In addition, these professionals will examine your mouth as well as your teeth.

Bonding is usually used for filling chips, fractures or gaps between teeth, or for fixing discolouration. A composite resin is attached to a tooth and shaped to restore its original appearance. The colour of the resin is matched to your teeth, so it will appear as though it is a natural part of the tooth.

Composite bonding can help you achieve a smile you’re happier with. Composite bonding can be a cheaper alternative to crowns or veneers. It’s also a less invasive process and can be completed in just one appointment. And with regular brushing and good oral hygiene, your composite bonds should last for years.
