We all know that a home is an abiding place and as such, you're there REGULARLY, it is your ABODE.
You get all the care and support you need and want.

Sooo, what is a dental home??
How do you establish a dental home??

#DentalTipsWithDrYemisi
The dental home is the ONGOING relationship between the dentist and the patient.
It includes all aspects and forms of dental or oral health care.
It basically involves you having a personal PROFESSIONAL relationship with your dentist such that they are very familiar with your oral health status.
All aspects of oral health care is delivered in a comprehensive, continuously accessible, coordinated, and family-centered way

So, you basically "feel at home"
How then do you establish a dental home???

Seeing that it is family- centred, you can start with the family.
With your babies and YOU.

Old habits die hard, they say.
You get used to it and it becomes a lifestyle.
You ensure that your babies have their first dental visit on or before their first birthday.
Followed by 6-monthly dental visits.

This 6-monthly dental visit is recommended for EVERYONE.
The dental clinic is not just there as an emergency centre that you go to only when there's pain or a swelling or whatever symptoms.

You should ideally just casually walk to the dental clinic simply to have your teeth examined and professionally "attended to".
Visiting the dental clinic only when you have pain or issues is not the right way to maintain a good oral health status.

You maintain a good oral health status when you have a good rapport with your dentist and the dental clinic.
Maintaining a good oral health status goes a long way in preventing or easily/ quickly detecting a disease in your body systems as there are a lot of oral manifestations of systemic diseases.
A number of medical conditions show signs first in the mouth.

Early detection will always be the best way to treat a lot of medical conditions as it gives a better prognosis.

Be alert! ⚠️
Be aware!
Take your dental health care seriously.

My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
🎵🎵🎵
I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now
I'll love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath,
and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

Tooth decay progesses.
Don't wait till it gets as bad as this image👇👇 illustrates in its progression. Image
Luckily, there's an ongoing "awoof" plan going on for cases like this.
If you have holes in between two teeth and there is no associated pain or that the only symptoms you feel is a shock-like sensation to cold or hot drinks, it can be filled at an almost-free cost.
This awoof no dey run belle.

Okay soooo, every time I get to a point where I have to take out a tooth either because it's a really bad tooth and I don't have any other choice than to take it out OR it's that patient can't afford the alternative treatment, I hear stuff like...👇👇 Image
"Doctor I hope I won't start losing other teeth or that other teeth won't start falling off" So I go on and educate them.....
I tell them..
No!
You don't lose other teeth simply because you've lost one or you took out one.

What usually happens is that that old habit you had that led to the loss or the removal didn't change even after removal.

As a parent, you get excited when one or two teeth pops out of your baby's gum.
You're amused and just thrilled about your child's growth.
The teething process has started.
Your baby is growing and it seems like it's happening very fast.

#Teething
#DentalThread
A thread
However, for the baby,(sometimes) teething is extremely painful. Teething can cause pain in a baby’s gums and prevent him/her from sleeping among other things the process may/can present with.
So, What is teething?

Teething is the process of teeth eruption.
It is the period when a tooth/teeth starts the process of breaking through the gum to come into the mouth so as to become visibly seen.
