Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suspect you are having very severe condition of teeth due to poor oral hygiene.I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get thorough clinical examination done.
Go for professional mouth scaling and polishing.
Take a OPG radiograph of the mouth.
The tooth are restorable can be restored, which are having pain can be treated with root canal treatment followed by prosthetic crown placement, the tooth which are badly carious can be extracted followed by placement of removable or fixed prosthesis.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Brush your teeth twice daily, use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily.

hi there

thanks for asking your query



dental tissues remains healthy if proper oral hygiene is maintained

poor oral hygiene leads to compromise of dental health

regular brushing is neccessary to remove plaque from teeth which if not removed will lead to infection in advanced stages

your history shows you had a poor oral hygiene which lead to multiple dental issues like caries,inflamation,chipping off of teeth

consult a dentist for complete treatment plan about which tooth needs to be filled,which to be root treated and which needs to be extracted and replaced by prosthesis

other than this you need to learn proper oral hygiene tips for proper brushing,flossing and dietry habits

thanks

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Definately your oral health affects your general health.if you donot have healthy teeth how did you manage to enjoy food all these days?

This makes you weak as your food is not chewed well thus indigestion and stomach problems.

It might or might not be in your case but severely decayed teeth affects your heart too.

Therefore i would suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist as soon as possible.

you must brush twice daily and change your brush every three months.

your tongue should be scrapped by tongue cleaner.

Frequent warm saline rinses helps to keep oral flora clean and infection free.

Hope this helps.

Take care.

Thanks.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

Multiple decayed teeth , plaque and calculus deposits on the teeth indicates COMPROMISED oral health.

It is caused due poor oral hygiene ,improper brushing and flossing that leads to accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus deep in the gum pockets and root surfaces of the teeth.

This leads to a condition called Gingivitis which presents with symptoms of redness , bleeding gums , swelling , pain ,recession and sensitivity.

Poor oral health definately affects general health of the patient so better get the treatment done as soon as possible.

you may need to be treated by thorough professional deep scaling of gums and root planing of the teeth to remove all the irritants ,this will help in resolving the symptoms followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesics.

i would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine.

decayed teeth can be treated by restorations.

it is advisable for you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned.

i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hi,
Thanks for writing,

Well its never late to take a right decision. You may have ignored your oral health for years but i can assure you its completely reversible and except for some teeth, which have completely decayed, the rest can be maintained with a good future oral hygiene.

You need professional cleaning (scaling) to remove any stains or calculus from your teeth. Its important to maintain a good oral hygiene after that. The decayed teeth which might be in initial stages will be filled and the more decayed need other treatments as well.

The one of the major concerns due to poor oral hygiene is gum problems. The plaque and calculus are the important causative factors. There have been some studies where they have proved the association of periodontitis (advanced stage of gum inflammation with bone and associated structures involvement) with other systemic diseases.

Nevertheless please visit your dentist as scheduled, and please follow a strict oral hygiene routine. This includes, brushing your teeth twice daily and using floss to prevent interdental decay. Use of mouthwash and rinsing mouth after every meal .

Stay healthy,
Thank you, Dr. Tarush Thakur.

Thank you for your question here.you should consult dentist and has to undergo necessary treatment requird for you.but for time being you can use antibiotic mouthwash, doxicycline tablets for severe periodontal infectionbut you need your decayed tooth to be extracted and you can meet with your dentist to improve your gum health.wish you good luck and better health.
