Good oral health is essential for maintaining well-being. Most dentists emphasize good oral hygiene habits, including brushing twice a day, regular flossing, and regular dental checkups, which can lower the risk of chronic diseases and improve immunity levels and patients’ lives.
Dr. Beena Gopi, a leading dentist in Bangalore and founder of Alisa Dental Care, a dental clinic in Bangalore, reiterates the need to pay attention to dental hygiene and oral health to stay safe and healthy. Highlighting the strong connection between oral hygiene and lifestyle diseases such as respiratory infections, cardiac diseases and diabetes, she states, ‘I strongly advise patients to go for regular dental checkups, and preventive are to have a good and healthy mouth and teeth. They are the mainstays of ensuring good healthy body and mind.
With over two decades of experience as a dentist, Dr Beena is an expert in root canal therapy and cosmetic dentistry. She leads an exceptionally qualified team of dentists at Alisa Dental Care, synonymous with quality dental treatments in Richmond Town, Bangalore.
Ms Vishaka Goyal, Co-founder of Clinicspots, a doctor discovery and health care platform, states, ‘Dr Beena Gopi is an excellent dentist with an exceptional track record of smile makeovers and oral rehabilitation, root canal treatments. Emphatic in her approach, she pays attention to detail. Most of her patients trust her to regain their dental health and confidence.”
Very much concerned about the deteriorating dental health within society, Dr Beena lists some of the most essential dental habits for people to follow –
- 2×2 brushing formula: Brush your teeth twice, for two minutes each time, daily with toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush.
- Daily flossing is a must to remove plaque and food particles stuck between teeth that the bristles of your toothbrush cannot reach.
- Regular dental checkups and cleaning—Professional dental cleaning is a must. It helps to remove tartar and plaque, which cannot be removed by brushing or flossing.
- Healthy diet and lifestyle – Consume healthy and fresh food to prevent tooth decay. Avoid sugar-laden drinks and foods that encourage dental decay
- Quit Smoking – Tobacco stains teeth, making them hard to clean. It also increases the chance of gum disease.
- Wear a mouthguard—When playing sports, it is advisable to wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth from injury.
Relating to her patient, 29, year-old Pratik, a young professional who could not smile confidently because of his teeth. He had neglected his teeth for years. Upon examination, Dr Beena Gopi detected many issues with his teeth. He had been irregular in brushing and flossing his teeth. She suggested a comprehensive dental treatment that included filling up the cavities, cleaning sessions and even gum treatment. Fortunately, he need not undergo dental extractions as the fillings would remove the cavities and prevent further decay.
While referring to the condition of his gums, Dr Beena Gopi treated them with scaling and root planing, procedures to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line. She also insisted on regular checkups and cleanings to prevent further decay and maintain oral health. Pratik had to visit the dental clinic for over three weeks to complete the dental treatment.
Advanced dental treatments have made it possible to save teeth from total decay and extraction. Dentists can now perform smile makeovers using veneers, dental implants, bridges, and crowns and help people regain their image and confidence. People who have lost their teeth due to injury or accident can restore them, making it possible to chew their food better.
Dr Beena Gopi observes that people are so busy in their lives that they have no time to take of their dental health. Moreover, with more intake of processed foods, high in sugar and artificial flavourings, teeth begin to decay early, causing multiple dental issues right from growing up to adulthood. Getting young and growing children as patients seeking extensive dental treatments such as root canals, crowns, bridges and so on is not surprising.
Emphasizing the importance of oral health, she states, ‘Dedicating a few minutes twice a day regularly is all that teeth need to prevent them from decaying. Habits such as brushing and flossing twice daily go a long way in maintaining healthy teeth and staying healthy. Being regular is what matters to keep teeth in good condition.
