The mouth is the dirtiest organ in the human body. It contains millions of naturally occuring microbes known as normal flora. It is very important to maintain a good oral hygiene to protect the teeth from tooth decay- caries and to protect against gum disease known as periodontitis. While dental caries may be very painful and may necessitate tooth extraction in extreme cases where all attempts on restoration fails, gum disease could result to loosened tooth pocket and prematured loss of tooth. Gum disease could also result in bad odour from the mouth known as hallitosis. For the above reasons it is necessary to brush the teeth regularly with floridated paste. However, tooth brushing alone cannot completely protect against caries hence the need to see your dentist regularly. If anyone here has dental problem and needs help, it would be my pleasure to give advice tips.

I felt like i was still in School recieving Lectures, that was a great lesson Clefstone.
I bet you're a dentist.

I had to make the message as simple as possible: actually like a primary school stuff because its the simple things in life we forget. Besides, the improving economy of Nigeria would result to more dental problems hence the need for an awareness campaign. However, how a better economy could cause more dental problem is a topic for another day.

Clefstone, thanks for your concern. That was nice of you and need such people here.

nice piece,clefstone
bin battling sensitive teeth for a coupla years, how do u reckon i can treat this

@icon. sensitivity is a very common problem esp as one ages. It could be caused by a number of factors that results in exposure of dentine. Mild cases are managed with commercially available desensitizing pastes. The commonest in the market is sensodyne toothpaste. But i'd advise u to see a dentist
