<span style="color: #38761d;">The Teeth-ing Troubles</span></h2>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Periodontal Treatment for gum disease and its relevance in Dentistry and Medical practice-<br />Gum disease more often progress slowly and cause underlying bone damage. In most cases, it is not very painful and bleeding gums is the only sign. It may be vital to know that our dentition is healthy and strong only as long as our bone structure and neuromuscular control is. The joint and muscular coordination that help us chew efficiently , may also be affected majorly with loss of teeth(dentition) due to bone loss caused by periodontal(gum) infection.People with valve defects and rheumatic heart disease have a greater risk towards infective endocarditis. In Diabetics, bone loss is progressive that make gums sore and have a greater tendency towards gingival and periodontal abscess.<br />A visit to the Dentist is recommended for the best interest of the individuals susceptible to a greater damage than obvious.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">The Child and Oral Health Problems</span></h2>
<br />The anxious child:<br /><br /><br />Techniques for behaviour management come with experience of treating children over a period of time.<br /><br /><br />There are various behaviour modification techniques that we follow at Smileoracles’ Multispeciality Dental Centre to make the child friendly to the Dental office and the staff. Its quite natural with the fear of the unknown and being unable to understand the sequence of events during the procedure, the child remains apprehensive.<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">The techniques we follow to comfort the child:</span><br /><br />1.Sedation:Oral and intravenous drugs like midazolam and chloralhydrate can be used.<br />2.Hypnosis<br />3.General Anaesthesia<br />4.Lasers in Dentistry<br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">The Child with toothache:</span><br />It is quite natural for a child with toothache to be irritable, uncooperative and not be able to eat comfortably. For children less than 4/5years of age inability to express the discomfort in the oral cavity often aggravates the problem and further makes treatment extensive and complicated.<br /><br />It is advisable to get periodic dental check up very soon the first tooth erupts.<br /><br /><div>
At Smileoracles’ Multispeciality Dental Centre we take special care to make your child painfree with our specialized team of doctors.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Assisted guidance in other problems associated with Oral cavity:</span><br />1.Abnormalities in tooth exfoliation and eruption.<br />2.Abnormalities of tooth number.<br />3.Abnormalities of tooth structure<br />4.Abnormalities of tooth form.<br />5.Abnormalities of tooth colour.<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><br />Extraction Versus restoration of primary teeth:</span><br /><br /><br />Despite a welcome reduction in the prevalence of dental decay,the dilemma of whether to restore or extract a primary tooth is still familiar. In making a decision at Smileoracles’ number of factors are considered.<br />1.Age<br />2.Medical History: Pulp therapy in medically compromised like heart disease is inappropriate. These are possible sources of recurrent bacteremia. In haemophiliacs, extraction should be avoided IF POSSIBLE.<br />3.Motivation and cooperation of parents: The parents must understand the benefits of maintaining the child’s primary dentition.Unfortunately, a small proportion of the population still regard a dentist that fills primary teeth with suspicion- after all ,everyone knows that the baby teeth will not stay forever!!<br />4.Caries rate<br />5.Pain<br />6.Extent of the lesion<br />7.Position of the tooth<br />8.Presence/absence of permanent successor.<br />9.Malocclusion<br /><br />Severe Early Childhood Caries<br /><br />Cause: Frequent intake of sugary and sticky food stuff.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Nursing Caries/Bottle caries: </span>Frequent consumption of sugar-containing drink especially from a feeding bottle. It is also attributed to prolonged on demand breast feeding, especially at night, from the lactose in breast milk.<br /></div>

<br /><br />A good dental status in the young age often assures a healthy dental condition even during adulthood. The positive attitude towards dental health more often establishes a healthy diet and prevention of oral health problems.<br /><br /><br />The treatment plan in children will take account of the following considerations:<br />1.Behaviour Management<br />2.Prevention of dental decay<br />3.Restorative treatment<br />4.Developing Occlusion<br />Restorative treatment without prevention is of limited value. Hence,we emphasise on a modified diet. Most often a combination of prevention,restoration and extraction is indicated for most children with caries/dental decay in primary/milk teeth.</div>

<br />
The Teeth-ing Troubles-Cosmetic needs and patient satisfaction<br /><br />Ref: American Dental Association Newsletter<br /><br />http://www.quintpub.com/journals/ejed/abstract.php?article_id=14383#.U4zpqPZOWcw<br /><br />Achieving patient satisfaction, step-by-step<br /><br /> It’s not uncommon for cases that start out with low esthetics to be accompanied by high patient expectations. Researchers publishing in the summer 2014 issue of The International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry described how to manage such circumstances using the case of a 27-year-old woman with amelogenesis imperfecta.<br />Caused by protein mutations involved in enamel formation, the genetic developmental disorder causes light and dark discolorations and atypical crown shapes. The subject’s chief complaint was dark and white opaque staining. However, she was also bothered by teeth that overlapped and an asymmetrical gingival margin. Researchers hoped to sacrifice as little healthy enamel as possible, while still meeting high expectations for an improved appearance.<br />The initial clinical examination did not reveal the true depth of the staining, so in agreement with the patient, a step-by-step treatment plan was adopted.<br />The first treatment step consisted of a home bleaching process. The patient noticed a positive change and was motivated to seek further improvement.<br />Step two was a microabrasion technique. Only the most superficial enamel layer was etched and removed with an abrasive paste and a rubber cup. Again, in the follow-up visit, the patient noticed improvement and wanted to continue treatment. This time the goal was to correct the position and shape of her front teeth.<br />All conditions were ideal for step three, a plan to restore the maxillary incisors and canines with ceramic veneers. At the outset, corrections were performed digitally, and foreseen changes were transferred into a wax-up. The dentist used the resulting mock-up to serve as a communication tool and discuss the prospective outcome with the patient.<br />Both were satisfied with the result during a try-in session, when veneers were inserted with glycerin gel in order to improve color assessment. All involved with the treatment plan were “very satisfied with the final treatment outcome,” authors reported.<br />“The patient was heavily involved in the process of decision-making and, therefore, her esthetic expectations could be integrated into the final treatment,” authors commented about the success. “For the predictability of the treatment, a meticulous prediagnostics and a stepwise treatment protocol is crucial; otherwise the outcome may be compromised.”<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><br /> <br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><br />What Are the Risks of Having a Stent?<br /> <br /> Why do you need to be cautious before a dental extraction??<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />There is an increased risk of bleeding when patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs require surgery.This risk must be balanced against the risk of harm if treatment is stopped. For many minor procedures aspirin or warfarin can be continued. Patients having non-cardiac surgery may be able to continue aspirin, but clopidogrel should be stopped unless there is a high risk of thrombosis. Patients taking warfarin may require bridging anticoagulation around the time of major surgery.This involves replacing the warfarin with unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin. Consultation with a cardiologist is particularly recommended if a patient with a coronary stent requires surgery.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKtdsbh-hGSzQF1XhI_vyYMBBvxj3Y6ROYbbWcG4NzwEguNqT3klEpkZywyzOpKFeMaHkMEXo_HlxAixq9uv1JAHpjEbLPbeuj55Qu-BeVw5-8ANO3xrTqYNcaUuotpM2val7orU867yr/s1600/stent_restenosis_2011.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKtdsbh-hGSzQF1XhI_vyYMBBvxj3Y6ROYbbWcG4NzwEguNqT3klEpkZywyzOpKFeMaHkMEXo_HlxAixq9uv1JAHpjEbLPbeuj55Qu-BeVw5-8ANO3xrTqYNcaUuotpM2val7orU867yr/s1600/stent_restenosis_2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKtdsbh-hGSzQF1XhI_vyYMBBvxj3Y6ROYbbWcG4NzwEguNqT3klEpkZywyzOpKFeMaHkMEXo_HlxAixq9uv1JAHpjEbLPbeuj55Qu-BeVw5-8ANO3xrTqYNcaUuotpM2val7orU867yr/s1600/stent_restenosis_2011.jpg" height="322" width="400" /></a></div>

The inset image shows a cross-section of the stent-widened artery.<br /><br />In figure C, tissue grows through and around the stent over time. This causes a partial blockage of the artery and abnormal blood flow. The inset image shows a cross-section of the tissue growth around the stent.<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheTeethIngTroubles#"></a><br /><br /><br />Risks Related to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention<br /> <br /> Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the procedure used to place stents, is a common medical procedure that is sometimes referred to as coronary angioplasty. PCI carries a small risk of serious complications, such as:<br /> <br /> Bleeding from the site where the catheter was inserted into the skin<br /> Damage to the blood vessel from the catheter<br /> Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)<br /> Damage to the kidneys caused by the dye used during the procedure<br /> An allergic reaction to the dye used during the procedure<br /> Infection<br /> <br /> Another problem that can occur after PCI is too much tissue growth within the treated portion of the artery. This can cause the artery to become narrow or blocked again. When this happens, it's called restenosis (RE-sten-no-sis).<br /> <br /> Using drug-eluting stents can help prevent this problem. These stents are coated with medicine to stop excess tissue growth.<br /> <br /> Treating the tissue around the stent with radiation also can delay tissue growth. For this procedure, the doctor threads a wire through a catheter to the stent. The wire releases radiation and stops cells around the stent from growing and blocking the artery.<br />
<br />
<br />
During any dental procedure which might involve bleeding, a consultaton with the cardiologist is mandatory and bridging treatment with Low molecular weight Heparin and close monitoring is mandatory.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Cellulitis due to Tooth Infection?? </span></b></span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"> Cellulitis is a common skin infection caused by bacteria.</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Causes </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Staphylococcus and streptococcus bacteria are the most common causes of cellulitis.</span></h3>
<br />
Normal skin has many types of bacteria living on it. When there is a break in the skin, these bacteria can cause a skin infection. Skin in the infected area will become red, hot, irritated, and painful.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Risk factors for cellulitis include:</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1.Dental infection</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2.Periodontal abscess</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.Cracks or peeling skin between the toes<br />
4.History of peripheral vascular disease<br />
5.Injury or trauma with a break in the skin (skin wounds)<br />
6.Insect bites and stings, animal bites, or human bites<br />
7.Ulcers from certain diseases, including diabetes and vascular disease<br />
8.Use of corticosteroid medications or medications that suppress the immune system<br />
9.Wound from a recent surgery</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
How does Dental abscess lead to Cellulitis?? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The infection from the root and the surrounding support system of the tooth finds its way through the least path of resistance to the tissue spaces.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Symptoms of cellulitis include:</span></b></h3>
Fever<br />
Pain or tenderness in the affected area<br />
Skin redness or inflammation that gets bigger as the infection spreads<br />
Skin sore or rash that starts suddenly, and grows quickly in the first 24 hours<br />
Tight, glossy, "stretched" appearance of the skin<br />
Warm skin in the the area of redness<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Signs of infection:</span></b></h3>
Chills or shaking<br />
Fatigue<br />
General ill feeling<br />
Muscle aches and pains<br />
Warm skin<br />
Sweating<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Treatment</b></span></h3>
<br />
Most of the time, treatment involves antibiotics taken by mouth and close follow-up by your doctor. You may be given painkillers.<br />
<br />
You should raise the infected area higher than your heart to reduce swelling. Rest until your symptoms improve.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You may need to stay in a hospital if:</span><br />
<br />
You are very sick (for example, you have a very high temperature, blood pressure problems, or nausea and vomiting that does not go away)<br />
You have been on antibiotics and the infection is getting worse<br />
Your immune system is not working well (due to cancer, HIV)<br />
You have an infection around your eyes<br />
You require antibiotics through a vein (IV)<br />
<br />
Hope this information has been useful.<br />
Thanking you<br />

<b>Accidents happen, and knowing what to do when one occurs can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth. Here are some common dental emergencies and how to deal with them. For all dental emergencies, it’s important to visit your dentist as soon as possible. Most dentists reserve time in their daily schedules for emergency patients so be sure to call your dentist and provide as much detail as you can about your condition. If the accident occurs when your dental office is not open, visit your local emergency room.</b><br />

<b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Question:</span> <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">What do I do if I knock out my tooth? </span></b><br />
Answer: For a knocked-out permanent or adult tooth, keep it moist at all times. If you can, try placing the tooth back in the socket without touching the root. If that’s not possible, place it in between your cheek and gums, in milk. Then, get to your dentist’s office right away.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Causes</b></span><br />
<br />
Teeth start to pass through the gums (emerge) during infancy, and again when the primary (baby) teeth are replaced by the permanent teeth.<br />
<br />
If a tooth fails to emerge, or emerges only partially, it is considered to be impacted. The most common teeth to become impacted are the wisdom teeth (the third set of molars). They are the last teeth to emerge, usually between the ages of 17 and 21.<br />
<br />
An impacted tooth remains stuck in gum tissue or bone for various reasons. It may be that the area is just overcrowded and there's no room for the teeth to emerge. For example, the jaw may be too small to fit the wisdom teeth. Teeth may also become twisted, tilted, or displaced as they try to emerge, resulting in impacted teeth.<br />
<br />
Impacted wisdom teeth are very common. They are often painless and cause no apparent trouble. However, some professionals believe an impacted tooth pushes on the next tooth, which pushes the next tooth, eventually causing a misalignment of the bite. A partially emerged tooth can trap food, plaque, and other debris in the soft tissue around it, leading to inflammation and tenderness of the gums and unpleasant mouth odor. This is called pericoronitis.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Symptoms</span></b><br />
1.Bad breath<br />
2.Difficulty opening the mouth (occasionally)<br />
3.Pain or tenderness of the gums (gingiva) or jaw bone<br />
4.Prolonged headache or jaw ache<br />
5.Redness and swelling of the gums around the impacted tooth</div>

<div>
6.Swollen lymph nodes of the neck (occasionally)<br />
7.Unpleasant taste when biting down on or near the area<br />
8.Visible gap where a tooth did not emerge<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Exams and Tests</span></b><br />
Your dentist will look for swollen tissue over the area where a tooth has not emerged, or has only partially emerged. The impacted tooth may be pressing on nearby teeth. The gums around the area may show signs of infection such as redness, drainage, and tenderness. As gums swell over impacted wisdom teeth and then drain and tighten, it may feel like the tooth came in and then went back down again.<br />
<br />
Dental X rays confirm the presence of one or more teeth that have not emerged.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Treatment</span></b><br />
<br />
No treatment may be needed if the impacted tooth is not causing any problems.<br />
<br />
Over-the-counter pain relievers may help if the impacted tooth causes discomfort. Warm salt water (one-half teaspoon of salt in one cup of water) or over-the-counter mouthwashes may be soothing to the gums.<br />
<br />
Removal of the tooth (extraction) is the usual treatment for an impacted tooth. This is usually done in the dentist's office, but difficult cases may require an oral surgeon. Antibiotics may be prescribed before the extraction if the tooth is infected.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Outlook (Prognosis)</b></span><br />
<br />
Impacted teeth may cause no problems for some people and may never require treatment. Treatment is usually successful when it does cause symptoms.<br />
<br />
It is often preferable to have wisdom teeth removed before age 30 due to the flexibility of bone, which will allow an easier removal and better healing. As a person ages, the bone becomes more rigid and complications can develop.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Possible Complication</b></span><br />
<br />
Complications of an impacted tooth include:<br />
Abscess of the tooth or gums<br />
Chronic discomfort in the mouth<br />
Infection<br />
Malocclusion of the teeth<br />
Plaque trapped between teeth and gums<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>When to Contact a Medical Professional</b></span><br />
<br />
Call your dentist if there is an unemerged tooth (or partially emerged tooth) and pain in the gums or other symptoms have developed.</div>

<h3 id="Causes" style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A tooth abscess is a complication of tooth decay. It may also result from trauma to the tooth, such as when a tooth is broken or chipped. Openings in the tooth enamel allow bacteria to infect the centre of the tooth (the pulp). Infection may spread out from the root of the tooth and to the bones supporting the tooth.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">Infection results in a collection of pus (dead tissue, live and dead bacteria, white blood cells) and swelling of the tissues within the tooth. This causes a painful toothache.<span style="color: #6aa84f;"> </span>If the pulp of the tooth dies, the toothache may stop, unless an abscess develops. This is especially true if the infection remains active and continues to spread and destroy tissue.</span></div>

<br /></div>
A root canal is a dental procedure to remove dead or dying nerve tissue and bacteria from inside a tooth.</div>
<br />REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M.<br /><br />Alternative Names:<br />Endodontic Therapy<br /><br />Description:<br />A dentist will use a needle to place numbing medicine(anesthetic) around the bad tooth.You may feel a slight prick when the needle is being inserted.<br />Next, your dentist uses a tiny drill to remove the top part of your tooth and expose the pulp. Pulp is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. It is found inside the tooth and runs to the jaw bone. Pulp supplies blood to a tooth and allows you to feel sensations such as temperature.<br /><br /><br />The infected pulp is removed with special tools called files. The canals (tiny pathways inside the tooth) are cleaned. Medicines may be placed into the area to make sure all the germs are gone and prevent further infection.<br />The cleaned tooth area is sealed with a soft, temporary material. Once the tooth is filled, a permanent crown may be placed on top.<br />You may be given antibiotics to treat and prevent infection.<div>

disease process they may become enlarged due to inflammation. Swollen lymph
gland is known medically as lymphadenopathy. The lymph glands may be enlarged
due to infections, glandular fever, immune system disorders or even cancer. So
a swollen or a painful lymph gland may indicate some underlying pathology. If
required your doctor can find out the cause of enlarged lymph node with blood
tests, X-ray or a biopsy.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Yes. The bacteria or micro-organisms
affecting the wisdom tooth and harbouring in the mouth is primarily due to
strains of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. In case of the partially erupted
wisdom tooth that hides under the gum tissue, forming a pocket in the mouth -
food accumulation is often observed. These are favourable conditions for
micro-organisms to grow and usually result in acute infections around these
teeth and collection of pus. Considering the fact that this is an inaccessible
zone and the dependent position of the tooth often harbours infection, lymphadenitis
is a common problem. This when ignored, infection spreads backward into the
area of your tonsils and throat causing inflammation and pain in your lymph
nodes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Infection in the lymph nodes could also be
due to the other teeth. The various lymph nodes closest to the offending tooth
are affected depending on their location. Infection in the mouth could also be
due to tuberculosis or syphilis. The diagram below illustrates the harmful
position of a partially erupted wisdom tooth.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sleep apnoea syndrome is a group of serious sleep disorders in which breathing repeatedly stops long enough during sleep to decrease the amount of oxygen and increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood and brain.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Sleep Apnoea occurs when breathing is temporarily interrupted during sleep.</b></span><br />
<b style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">There are three types:</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>1.Obstructive Sleep Apnoea</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>2.Central Sleep Apnoea</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>3.Mixed Sleep Apnoea</b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Obstructive Sleep Apnoea:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">1.The most common type.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">2.Caused by blockage in the throat or upper airway.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">3.Affects mostly the middle aged men and women.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">4.Most commonly seen in obese people who sleep on their back.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">5.Smoking and excess use of alcohol worsens sleep apnoea.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">6.Lung disorders contribute to lack of oxygen.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">7.In children, enlarged tonsils or adenoids can cause obstructive sleep apnoea.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Central Sleep Apnoea:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">1.Rarely seen.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">2.Mainly caused due to dysfunction in the part of the brain that controls breathing (brainstem).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">The role of the brainstem in breathing:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">The brainstem is very sensitive to the changes in the blood level of carbon dioxide ( a by product formed in the metabolism of oxygen).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">When the level of carbon dioxide in the blood rises due to inefficient breathing, the brainstem signals the respiratory muscles to breathe harder and faster to remove carbon dioxide while breathing out(exhalation).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">What happens in Central Sleep Apnoea-</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">a.The brain stem is less sensitive even with high carbon dioxide level in the blood.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">b.There is prolonged hyper ventilation to counteract the affect of carbon dioxide.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">c.Sometimes due to a poor response of the brainstem... breathing paused might get prolonged.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">d.Brain tumour is a reason for the poor functioning of the brain stem too.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">e.Ondine's curse is a form, wherein people may not be able to breathe at all except when they are fully awake.</span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Impacted teeth are teeth that become stuck beneath the gum and underlying bone and are thus unable to emerge or erupt properly.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">What is Impaction? Why does it happen?</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Impaction is usually caused by the over-crowding of teeth, thus leaving insufficient room for a new tooth to emerge.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Impaction can occur when a baby tooth is lost before the new tooth is ready to emerge, which allows the remaining teeth to drift into the space reserved for the new tooth.</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">However, most teeth that become impacted are wisdom teeth because they are the last permanent teeth to come in and the jaw lacks enough space to accommodate them.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Impacted teeth are likely to become infected, thus they are usually removed.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Often, the removal can be done in the Dentist's office with the person remaining awake, with use of local anesthetic or with sedation to calm the patient.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sometimes the surgery is performed in a hospital with the person asleep, with the use of general anesthetic.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">These procedures are all painless in the Dental office as you are under anesthesia.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">However, to avoid post-operative pain one must follow all instructions religiously as the doctor advises.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">The concept of sepsis:</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The body attacks an infection with large numbers of white blood cells;</b><br />
<b>Pus is accumulation of these white blood cells,dead tissue and bacteria.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Usually pus from a tooth-infection drains into the gums first.</b><br />
<b>The gums swell near the root of the tooth.</b><br />
