The golden rules.

Top Temees

If dental diseases are to be prevented, patients must both understand the causes of dental diseases and genuinely want to achieve perfect dental health via the application of this knowledge.

Every individual must regularly assess himself to determine whether he is adequately motivated and also take into account factors that can occasionally affect the status of the tissues holding his teeth in place.

Everybody must strive to understand the purpose of plaque control and be trained in how to achieve and maintain it on a day-to-day basis. Regardless of the sacrifices involved, people should have a strong and genuine desire to retain a healthy dentition. Regular checks should be made on the thoroughness of brushing. Retraining should be given at intervals and patients encouraged constantly. While dentists must carry out meticulously careful supervision of plaque control and watch for the slightest signs of failure or the onset of gum infections, the hygienist must carry out a skilful and careful scaling and polishing of the teeth. Factors contributing to stagnation and accumulation of plaques should as far as possible be eliminated. Ancillary measures are the use of wood points and flossing of interdental surfaces, and these should be practised regularly as occasion demands.

What is the way out?

The adage which says prevention is better than cure still stands tall in the order of available steps to be taken to minimize or avoid dental problems. For example, a child’s teeth start forming while the baby is still in the mother’s womb. Therefore a baby whose mother is on a balanced diet during pregnancy will benefit from the mother’s nutrients and vitamins such that even its set of milk teeth will be hard and resistant to caries. When such teeth are properly maintained they are also succeeded by strong permanent teeth. A simple rule worth remembering is that the same food that is good for the body is good for the teeth. Foods can generally be classified into “grow”, “glow” and “go” types. “Grow foods” are bodybuilders which supply the protein requirements of the body. “Glow foods” are protective. They supply vitamins and minerals to the body. “Go foods” are concentrated energy foods that supply the calories required to make one active all day.

Not for food only.

Teeth are not meant for eating only. They also enhance good facial appearance, fluency of speech, good health and a generally sound body. Irrespective of race and colour, any set of teeth that are not properly taken care of stands the risk of being lost through cavity formation and destruction of supporting gum. Less sugary foods contribute immensely to one’s ability to maintain strong teeth in children and adults.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
