Removed wisdom, but not the stitch?

Question:

Hello Dentistry Correspondence,
I had surgery a wisdom tooth out today, there was almost horizontal in the jaw on the right side. I have not particularly bad, I can chew and speak without problems, but is very sore up under the jaw, even when I turn my head. I guess what you can expect after an intervention, but I've read other people's spots, and it seems like they have all been made? I'm not - it bleeds a lot, if I sneeze or span my stomach muscles and there is a large black hole down the right side of my lower mouth. Is it necessary to be made after such an operation for a little nervous on the consumption of eg colas, as I have a close relationship with (I am familiar with syreskader, so it is not part of my question) but is there any kind of food or beverages at any time may not come into the open crater?

Sincerely Cæcilie

Lower sugar levies gives poorer teeth

It's a bomb in particular children and young people's dental health, sugar levies have decreased every year since 2001. It goes Dental Association President Susanne Andersen, commenting on new data from the Treasury.

- We can see that the portions have become larger over the last ten years and it is hardly unlikely that it has something to do with the gradual tax reductions. Candy bags have become larger, and so is soda bottles. While the largest soft drink bottles, ten years ago contained 1 ½ liters, we are now at 2 liters. And it is a big problem for the teeth. The large bottles deadlines especially children and young people to have a soft bullet and take a sip of it periodically. In this way the teeth of a constant acid bath and the acid in soda can at worst corrode tooth enamel away, says Susanne Andersen.

Studies have shown that every 7 teenager to a greater or lesser degree has syreskader on tooth enamel.

In addition to acid damage is sugar in sodas and candy one of the major culprits when it comes to tooth decay. The tendency has been for many years, the Danes have fewer and fewer cavities, but Susanne Andersen is afraid that the positive trend will stop if the intake of sugar continues to rise.

Provides tea with lemon syreskader on teeth?

Question:

Hello
Just read the article on syreskader . I drink approx. 1 liter of tea a day. Half of the time pushing my lemon in. Can it be also in the long run provide syreskader?
I eat an orange every morning - it would be better for my teeth if I ate melon or similar? I am 55 years old and have beautiful teeth.
Thank you in advance.

Susanne

Answer:

Dear Suzanne,

The in itself does not syreskader as it has a neutral pH value. When you put lemon in your tea, you lower the PH value, which may give syreskader on the teeth. But using this once in a while will not harm the teeth. If you eat oranges every morning, I'd limit it and supplement it with a neutral fruit, as you are touched on, for example. melon. Addition, do not brush your teeth after eating or drinking anything acidic. Ask your dentist if you have syreskader on your teeth if you are worried.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

Syreskader especially common among teenage boys

Every third 16-year-old boy in Frederiksberg Municipality syreskader on the teeth, which means etching of tooth enamel. Cola, soda and other soft drinks likely to be the main cause of acid damage - in the jargon called erosions. The result comes from a study conducted by the Frederiksberg Dentistry and presented in Dentistry magazine.

Generally, more than one seventh of the 12-17-year-olds in Frederiksberg syreskader on the teeth. The problem is most often seen among boys, and the damage gets worse the older you get.

In Tandlægebladet presents overtandlæge Lene Esmark from Frederiksberg Dental findings of a survey of the extent and severity of erosions among the 2,151 local children and youth in 12-17-years of age.

According to survey 313 of the youth equivalent to 14.6 per cent. at least one tooth with syreskader. Five have so severe damage to large areas of at least one tooth without enamel.

In all age groups, the incidence of syreskader highest among boys, especially in 15-16-years of age. Among the 16-year-old example has 7.6 per cent. of the girls syreskader, while the same applies to the entire 32.8 percent. of the boys. The large gender difference offset a bit after 16-years old, but the problem remains most prevalent among boys. The five individuals with the most severe type of erosion is also all boys.

Generally it is seen that the problem of syreskader increases with age. The older young people are, the more frequent is the occurrence of syreskader, and severity of damage also increases.

Frederiksberg Dentistry will now proceed to develop targeted prevention programs in the form of guidance and information. Efforts will be aimed at boys and should be implemented as from the 12-year-olds.

School introduces common brushing morning session

Despite the fact that students in Frøslev Padborg School is good to brush teeth, several of the students comprehensive syreskader on the teeth. The Municipal Dental care now focuses on the problem of the project "Stop Syreskader - and tooth decay", and has introduced common brushing throughout the month of June.

Dentures before the age of 18 years
At Førslev-Padborg school, they have several students who already have severe syreskader on the teeth. Continuing students with the high consumption of sweet drinks, especially colas, many students could wave goodbye to their teeth and say hello to dentures, even before the age of 18 years. There has been syreskader on the teeth of every six children under 18 years and the problem is growing.

Both dentists and dental hygienists can tell you that at Frøslev Padborg school many children who suffer from syreskader. And a possible cause of problems at this school may be due to the city's proximity to the many tempting offers from border stores that sell cheap sweets, juices and sodas in mega sizes.

Project "Stop Syreskader - and tooth decay"
In order to focus on syreskader have the municipal dental shot project "Stop Syreskader" started on Frøslev Padborg School. The project was launched on 2 June with large tandbørstningsdag where all students were given a water bottle, toothbrush and toothpaste. Then there was a single tooth brushing in the great hall.

The project will continue throughout the month of June, where the municipal dental care will try to focus on syreskader and get brushing on the program every morning. Morning sessions, students continually get more information on how to avoid syreskader.

Every Monday and Thursday's joint brushing while students are allowed to look at a power-point presentation with pictures of syreskader, diet and toothbrush instruction. Brochures and other promotional material handed out also to the students. Like the municipal dental care will be available every Monday and Thursday. There will be other days of the week be common toothbrushing in the classrooms.

At the school library will be for the entire period be an exhibition on food and beverages. In total there will be two exhibitions, one about sugar and a pH of acid in beverages. The project has also created banners, posters and brochures to the students. And a message is also sent to every home in the project.

Frøslev Padborg School will during the period be completely free of juices, sodas and other acidic drinks. And the school canteen, "Boden", the period will only sell water and milk - and other acidic drinks. Parents have also been a call for active participation, like all parents are welcome events.

The project ends on Wednesday 24 June with a single brushing and evaluation of the project. Part of the project "Stop Syreskader - and holes in the teeth" dental care will also use in schools other than Frøslev Padborg School, to the extent feasible.

Water with lemon juice etches the teeth

Cola, Juices and smoothies are far from the only drink one must be careful with if you want to avoid syreskader on the teeth. Water with lemon or lime slices is in fact almost as bad for your teeth, such as cola.

Summer, sun and cold drinks
Now summer is fast approaching, the need for cold drinks to quench thirst in step with the temperature. In cafes and restaurants is ice cold tap water with fresh lemon or lime slices become very popular among the young, as a "healthy" alternative to the often sugar-filled sodas, which can also be very sour.

But do you drink lemon water more than once a day, you risk the enamel on your teeth etches and already after a single summer's consumption, you can look forward to a hefty bill from the dentist in several thousands of dollars, writes Urban. One of the nation's leading researchers in dental disease, overtandlæge Ulla Pallesen called tooth erosion, a veritable epidemic.

Etching of the teeth
"It damages the teeth of nearly the same degree as cola. The more lemon slices, taking in a jug of water, the more enamel etched there. There is no doubt that the pH smoking significantly below the 5.5 that our teeth can tolerate, "says Ulla Pallesen, who daily work with and teach dental diseases at the University, to Urban. "The enamel is etched slowly but surely, even though no marks or see in the beginning," explains overtandlæge Ulla Pallesen on.

Her research shows that the etching of the teeth is a big problem among Danish youth under 30. And she finds that the incidence of the disorder is only surpassed by caries and periodontal disease. The first and only study on the number of syreskader among teenagers, was created in 2001 by Aarhus municipality in cooperation with the Municipal Dentistry in Aarhus. This study showed that one in six between 15 and 17 years had severe syreskader on the teeth.

How can one protect oneself against syreskader
Can not stay away from lemon water and other acidic beverages should limit intake to a maximum of once a day. The worst thing you can do is to drink it frequently and at regular intervals through the day because it takes time for the mouth and teeth pH value to stabilize again. The consequence of frequent acid bath of the teeth come creeping, and you can not completely brush free himself for them. In fact, should be avoided to brush the teeth shortly after ingestion of acidic beverages, and, rather than rinsing the mouth with clean water immediately after intake. Acidic beverages should not be taken with small sips over a long time, but should instead be enjoyed quickly or with straw.

Consideration should also be aware that excessive eating of sour fruit - like lemons and oranges - and chewing sour candies - such as. gummi - can dissolve enamel and provide syreskader.
