WOHD Theme 2020

FDI World Dental Federation every year develops a campaign or theme to raise awareness on the global level. It’s the responsibility of National Dental Associations, oral health professionals, dental students, and health organizations to encourage masses to maintain good oral hygiene. This year’s WOHD 2020 campaign is Say AHH- Unite for Mouth Health. FDI is using the pledge wall this year so that people get encouraged towards the oral health regime.

So this year pledge to look after your oral health!!!

Oral-B says the toothbrush uses sensors to know when you’re applying too much pressure or not brushing long enough in a certain spot, and then sends data from the sensors to the app. The app takes this sensor data and uses the “Genius X AI algorithm” to tell you where you need to brush better and give you a rating on how well you brushed.

To make this toothbrush possible Oral-B company has created an algorithm of more than 2.000 brushing sessions to understand deep brushing behaviours from around the world.

The Genius X toothbrush deep and clean the mouth with the help of the three-movement combination of the brush head to effectively remove plaque: oscillate, rotate and pulsate.

The price of the toothbrush is roughly $220 (which is nearly Rs.15,000). The Genius X is a bit costly toothbrush.

The link between oral health and cardiac health is due to the spread of bacteria. The bacteria from mouth travel to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. When this bloodstream reaches to heart, it can cause damage and inflammation of the lining of the delicate heart.

Oral bacteria can also cause blood clots. The immune system’s response to the toxins could harm vessel walls or make blood clot more easily. 

Also, some species of bacteria that cause periodontitis have been found in the atherosclerotic plaque in arteries in the heart and elsewhere.

Oral health is not only related to cardiac health, but it is also related to overall health. That’s reason enough to do what you can to make oral health a priority. Brushing and flossing every day, and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for regular cleanings and oral exams will pay off for your oral health and just may benefit your heart as well.

Some of the basic care tips given by Dr. Sachin Mittal are:

1. Pregnant women should eat balanced diet and brush their teeth thoroughly after every meal to prevent any infection.
2. Your dentist should know that you are pregnant so that he can postpone elective dental procedures till delivery.
3. Rinse your mouth out with water or a mouth rinse if you have bouts of frequent vomiting.

4. Your dentist should know the other medications that physician has prescribed you. It will be then easier for him to alter dental medicines according to the information.

5. Never skip dental health checkup appointment. Pay particular attention to any changes in your gums during pregnancy. If tenderness, bleeding or gum swelling occurs at any time during your pregnancy, talk with your dentist or periodontist as soon as possible.
