An Ideal Desensitizing Agent As A Agent

The denture cleaning tablets consist of many ingredients; some of the active ingredients include sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, sodium perborate, sodium polyphosphate, potassium monopersulfate, EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). The denture cleaning tablets were invented in the 1930s by a man named Alexander Block. (Denture cleaner, 2013)

Each generation of society, it has had things that has been looked upon as wrong. People at certain times of history have different meanings and values for their actions. At some point people were desensitized to certain things, and a century later became sensitized or vice versa. What people are sensitive to tells a lot about society as a whole. The things that society accepts, doesn’t accept, has a biased too can be communicated through its portrayal. Desensitization is an element in which society advancement has created. The whole concept of desensitization comes from the culture in which we are exposed to. Desensitization not only explains why our culture is the way it is, but how far we are willing to go in the name of advancement. In Maggie Nelson’s “Great to watch”, she discusses how the content that media produce is violent. Karen Armstrong’s “Homo Religiousus” discusses different religious characteristics. In Daniel Gilbert’s “Immune to realty” we can find examples of desensitization and its effect on society. Desensitization is something that is exists in society as something neutral. Desensitization does not take sides on being beneficial or harmful, it is just the natural way of humanity. Desensitization is present by the media we are presented with, our negative thoughts, our tolerance, and our awareness.

Oral health is an important part of an overall health. Oral diseases ranging from cavities to cancer are all serious threats to an oral health. Research shows that there may be a link between oral disease and other health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke as well as pre-term and low-birth-weight babies. If left untreated, it can cause more complications to the oral health. Periodontal disease, root caries and infections and other oral cancer can lead to severe pain, loss of teeth and serious health conditions. As a health care provider, it is significant to realizing the connection between oral diseases and systemic diseases so that we all can deliver our services to prevent and help treat disease while it is still manageable. Expanding the role of dental hygienists might reduce the most serious consequences of limited access to dentists, and dental hygienists are potentially well suited to play an important role in expanding affordable access (1). Collaborative practice of dental hygiene

Dentists are allowed to administer topical oral fluorides, topical oral anesthetics, topical and directly applied

However, their appetite can be affected due to sensitivity. It is characterized by a sharp sensation when eating hot or cold food items. The best way to prevent sensitivity is by making use of anti-sensitivity tooth paste. This tooth paste can help the teeth to obtain more minerals which can help prevent sensitivity.

The current market for retainer cleaning solutions primarily revolves around denture cleaners and select mouthwash solutions. These options are used for cleaning purposes and do not capitalize on the idea of flavoring the retainers, with the exception of Fresh Guard. Fresh Guard’s current offering provides a mint flavor for retainers. That would most likely appeal to an adult audience as research on kids’ palate preferences indicates that milder flavors are more popular with kids (5 Popular Kid’s Toothpastes, 2014). By adding flavors that kids prefer to retainers, Teeth Treat hopes to incentivize younger retainer users to actively maintain their oral health. The flavor would be added to the retainer in the daily cleaning process. Instead of soaking the retainer in denture cleaner, the retainer would be soaked in Teeth Treat. In addition to cleaning and flavoring, this process would help extend the life of the retainer by keeping it moisturized (Downshen, 2013). It would also simplify the cleaning process by removing the need to brush the retainer after soaking. A quick rinse after soaking would be all that is needed for

With all these results, many variations among materials, operators, and patients can contribute to these clinical failures. Therefore, further clinical research and studies are necessary to evaluate the performance of the restorative materials and to determine the factors related to the failures as many conditions cannot be reproduced in the labatory. In previous studies, evaluations of the studies showed that in a period of 5-12 years, the success was 85 to 98 percent. In the longest follow-up mentioned by Dr.

The patients brushed their teeth with a toothbrush with a single dose of AC applied. They then rinsed their mouth and brushed their teeth with normal toothpaste. This procedure was repeated twice more, which is still within the maximum daily usage on the container, in order to maximize results within the time

A behavioural psychologist by the name of Joseph Wolpe helped clients in getting rid of their phobias in a process that would be much quicker than the process of psychodynamic which is the explanation that humans functioning is based on interactions of drives and forces which occur within the body such as unconsciousness and the various structures of personality. The basis of psychodynamic was introduced by an Austrian neurologist, Sigmund Freud. The reason Wolpe conducted this study was to find the most effective way in to perform systematic desensitization to eradicate people’s phobia. The hypothesis which Wolpe used was that to remove people’s phobia a fear should be combined with something that is also relaxing to the body and that eventually

Minor cavities can be treated with bonding resin or fillings, while extensive decay requires onlays or crowns. For loose teeth, tooth sensitivity, and receding gums caused by gum disease, Dr. Das recommends deep cleaning and antimicrobial treatment. Surgery may be needed if conservative treatments fail to heal the gums.

Different dosage , timing of medication were used and age of the patient and medical conditions were higly variable, also the parameters to determine efficacy was variable .

38% Silver Diamine Fluoride is a dentinal hypersensitivity treatment that arrest and prevents tooth decay. This product does not stain or harms the tooth; instead it discolors the tooth when applied on demineralization. When applied, the tooth changes into a black or dark brown color indicating that the infection has been arrested. Advantage Arrest has a three-year shelf life and it is very affordable. I enjoyed learning about this product because it is different from a fluoride varnish. Unlike fluoride varnish, this product kills the bacteria and prevents it from spreading throughout the mouth of a patient. Besides that, Advantage Arrest hardness the tooth surfaces and helps the tooth remineralize. In the future, I would recommend this product

Fluoride is widely used as a highly effective anti-caries agent. Fluoride is a systemic and topical application that can be applied in the dental office or used as a at home treatment through toothpaste or mouthwash. Too much digested fluoride can cause effects to teeth but the benefits out weight the effects to an extreme. Another antimicrobial is Chlorhexidine. M.D. Aaron M. Milstone states that “Chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial”. It plays a huge role in fighting against gram-positive bacteria and gram- negative bacteria. These are major bacterium found in the dental industry. Chlorhexidine used in dentistry is produced in a mouthwash that decreases bacteria that is inside the oral cavity. It is commonly used to treat gingivitis. The Dentist is the one that prescribed chlorhexidine to patients. The most common side effects of chlorhexidine mouth rinse are intense staining of the teeth and other oral surfaces throughout the oral cavity. Like stated above, the benefits out weights the effects. The last antimicrobial agent to be discussed is Xylitol. Xylitol is used as a natural sweetener that is found in fruits and plants. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Xylitol food as an additive. Compared to table sugar, xylitol is forty percent lower in calories. Besides the advantage of xylitol being a

This was apparent with the case of Colgate ' Palmolive introducing a new toothpaste that fights not only cavities but bad breath, yellowing teeth, sensitive gums and also gingivitis.
