Why is Dentistry Important?

[articland05]

I fully agree as well...

 

[Can Or Not]

Actually more interesting for me is bacteria infected nerves, cannot be cured by antibiotics. You need to root canal… the thing

if one hasn't do proper flossing, interdental cleaning before, try those basics first... I've been to neighbourhood dentist, polyclinic ones and refer me to National Dental Centre all tell me do root canal and book appt liao

then I tried my best to stain my teeth and use interdental to thoroughly clean everything until spotless now my teeth healed...

i honestly feel need to take better care daily then you don't need the dentist

a 700 dollar bill from Thomson dental at novena square 2 after 6 years of non vist to the dentist because they add in the x ray.

if can survive 6 years with the covid and code orange without scaling and cleaning teeth means can afford to take a bus to Malaysia yearly to clean a bit.

an electric toothbrush and the interdental and floss is all you need daily.better if after every meal brush

cos the plaque is the bacteria colony ma...
unless that is totally destroyed else the antibiotics wont work effectively


that's what I think... I've not taken any antibiotics for teeth before though, just painkillers nia

just to validate my own cleaning effort I go back to dentist for normal cleaning after a year. the same dentist now say my oral hygienic is excellent...lol

 

[articland05]

just to add on...i cant rem read from where liao but it says our oral has the fastest healing rate in our body. so once u clean properly and give ur mouth a chance to heal, you will be pleasantly surprise how fast u recover....

 

[virtualape]

Oral heath affect gut health which affects the entire system...not just whether teeth is clean or not.

I once had a dentist who would put a peekture of a beautiful Rolex watch on his tablet in front of him whenever he started his treatments. Mine was company subsidized so I never bothered about costs. One day curiosity got the better of me and I asked him. His candid reply? The photo is the new watch that I’m aspiring to buy

You are contributing to his new watcg

Examples of his cost. Fill 4 cavities in 1 session amounted to over $500+. 1 extraction of wisdom tooth (he calls it surgery so can charge more). $1,200 all in. But he gave me all the MC that I wanted

I've gone for consultation before, appt doesn't mean you're due for root canal. Although they chk the more complicated cases.

It must be able to reach the site of infection. That's why different types of antibiotics are meant for infections in different parts of the body.

Dental pain is no joke very jialat, most people rather have headache, joint pain or stomachache than dental pain

Ok I ask the everything also knows guru:
3. What happens during infection

* When bacteria reach the pulp:
* Inflammation causes swelling
* But the tooth is rigid → no space to expand
* This pressure cuts off the blood supply
* Eventually, the pulp dies

4. Why this matters

* Once the pulp is dead:
* No active blood circulation inside
* Antibiotics can’t effectively reach the bacteria there
* That’s why removing the dead tissue (root canal) is needed
