Dental Tips for a Safer Holi

6 Essential Dental Tips for a Safer Holi and healthy smile by Dr. Swetha U

Dental Tips for a Safer Holi: Ensure a vibrant and joyful celebration while safeguarding your dental health with these essential tips. Prepare your teeth with a pre-Holi dental check-up and protective barriers like dental wax or petroleum jelly. Prioritize general face and lip care with moisturizers or coconut oil to shield against color-induced irritation. Opt for natural colors over artificial ones to avoid enamel erosion and staining. Stay hydrated throughout the festivities to cleanse your mouth and body. Limit sweet intake to minimize the risk of cavities, and practice post-Holi dental care including gentle brushing and fluoride mouthwash for smile restoration.

Unraveling the Mysteries of Unplanned Smile Design: A Case Study by Dr. Swetha U

Dr. Swetha U, of Platina Dental Clinic, encountered a complex case involving a 26-year-old female patient with gum bleeding, swelling, and pain in her upper and lower front teeth. Despite prior root canal treatments at another clinic, faulty procedures were discovered through thorough examinations. Due to this the patient had to undergo an unplanned smile design. Dr. Swetha U devised a meticulous treatment plan, including scaling, root planing, laser periodontal therapy, re-root canal treatments, and the placement of zirconia crowns. The patient’s satisfaction with the outcome was evident, with all dental issues resolved and a corrected smile achieved. This case highlights the importance of tailored treatment approaches and continuous learning in achieving successful smile designs in dentistry.
