Sharing My Space With You !!

Dear Dr.Preethi, thank you so much for explaning me and iam yet to visit my dentist ( due to poor power cuts ) and can you please explain me
" whether drinking COLD ITEMS affects teeth and creates pain?????? makes the teeth SENSITIVE ????

( me and my DS got the habit of drinking cold items and imm'ly my DH will curse us like anything for doing so and he also used to argue that dinking TOO COLD OR HOT will affect the teeth)

Pls clear my doubts and thank you very much for the same

Preethi..I think it is a good idea...to have a dentist do this for us...keep up the good work to make us smile more confidently..bye

Dear Lata ,
Yes.. there is a study on the amount of
Thermal Stress ( severity of temperatur ) a tooth can bear ! It is proven that anything above it could " CRACK YOUR TEETH " !!!! So what your husband says is right.. It would cause sensitivity when the enamel / dentin cracks and could lead to pain eventually ! It might be ok for the rest of the body to handle that hot / cold food but our teeth demands special attention !!! ;) So start listening to your hubby... He is talking sense :)

Dear Saraswathi..
Thanx :) I look forward to fill up this space.. with more questions and smiles !!!!

Dear preethi, thank you so much

you can just click on the links and it will take you to those thread. You can answer them more better then I do. Thanks

Done , Done , Done !! I have answered them !! I dont go through all the forums hence dont come accross all the questions realted to teeth !! Thank you for linking it to me !! Wish I could answer them all ! But this community is soo huge that it takes an entire decade to go through it !!
Was wondering if something like Dental corner could begun and people can directly post anything related to teeth or atleast the links of the word teeth, gums get attached to my blog space.. Atleast I could answer them quickly !!!

Mrs. Malathy ... Are you listening ???

Dear Preethi...one doubt. Is it good to brush the teeth once in a while with a little salt and lemon juice. Does it help in anyway?
My dad did this on a regular basis..once in abt 10days. His was pearly white...never had tooth problems and all were intact till his end, a couple of yrs back...at the age of 65+. So just wanted to clarify if that act was useful...Hee hee he used to advise us to do the same..we did it only when he repeatedly told us...do not have that practice..(And I read recently that even Marlyn Monroe also did that..and her teeth were perfect..)

Hehe , i dont know what Monroe did to her teeth ! I better not comment on that !! But I believe your dad must have had lovely ones !! Salt is definitely good once in a week/ 10days ! But lime juice.. NO ! It is citric and could damage your teeth ! I have heard from some of my patients that they used to rub the inside of lemon skin onto their teeth and that made it white ! And guess what they had come to me with injured gums !!! . But still they refused to believe that the lime would have injured their gums ! Wel.. I did not force them as I knew they had bought it from me and wouldnt repeat it ever !

Thanx Preethi...nice that you warned me about the lemon.....Ok will atleast try to use that salt experiment...and yes...I expected that 'no comment' about Monroe (or Taylor)..from you...heehee.

Dear Preethi
Thank you so much for taking the trouble. In future in case I come across such problems I can just give you the links.........
Yes this is indeed a hugh community but once in a while you can visit the health forum and have a look.
Thank you once again Preethi

Hey no trouble, girlie !! It is wonderful you linked it to me ! Please continue doing so ! I do go to the Health forum regularly ! But the ones you posted came from somewhere hardly go to !!

Thanks for starting this useful blog. And your avatar is very cute as well.

Thanx Mrs. Chitra .. :)

Preethi,
Nice idea of yours, to give help to our teeth related problems..
I might get help if any situation arises..

Your avatar reminds me of a dentist, you would keep his glasses near the tip of his nose..what a coincidence, the same type I see here...
Maybe all dentists do the same...just kidding

sriniketan

Hehe Sri ..:) I dont do that atleast !! Thank you for liking my idea !

dear preethi
hey, nice idea. it takes time to talk to someone , but so nice u r willing to ans our queries without delay
is it all right if my son, he's 15months, to cut teeth more on the upper side to start with...he got 2 on the lower side, after that he had 2 on the upper side, then 2 more on the upper side, and now after a gap of 2 months one which i think is a molar, there is a gap between the front and this one. the elder one got one after the other so i have no idea. thanx in advance.

I just love attending to any tooth related problems! But I am sorry I didnt really understand what you meant about your son .. What did you mean by " to cut teeth more on the upper side to start with " ?? Did you mean " get " ?? Well if so.. it is absolutely alright.. The upper and lower teeth ( center ones ) are always the first to erupt in the mouth ! Which one races the other is upto them ! Oh my God.. Dont they look awesome when they have just that 4 teeth !!! especially when they smile !! I know am deviating from the question.. but these kids .. they are soo lovable !! Uff...
Coming to the gap.. when all the baby teeth erupts the gap would automatically close.. even if it doesnt dont worry.. his jaw must be bigger in size than his teeth and it will look perfect when his adult teeth arrives.. So right now do not worry about the gap and he will grow into an handsome fella when his adult teeth erupts..
Hope this is what you meant.. and I have answered your question..
Else write to me again.. Take care .. And yes dont forget to give him a kiss from my side !!
