Patient discussion about illness prevention.

Q. If we can get sick all the time- why not take antibiotics all the time and prevent it? I can take antibiotics to my child and prevent his from getting all sort of diseases. And if so- what should I give him?

A. the problem with abuising antibiotics is that, bacteries build resistance to them, and then when you really need them they wont work.

Q. I want to know the healthy diet to prevent future dental illness. Can I get tips from any one here? I again had my dental plaque. My mouth gives me a very bad odor and I am unable to talk or laugh freely. When I eat any chill or even slight cold food my teeth pain increases. I have uncontrollable pain due to the puss formation. I was also bedridden due to a high fever. I am taking medicines now and the doctor has advised me to brush and floss regularly. I don’t want to make this mistake again and land in losing my teeth. So I want to know the healthy diet to prevent future dental illness. Can I get tips from any one here?

A. You must care for your teeth. Ensure you consume 8-10 liters of water as it is shown to prevent bad breath. Reduce in your snack intake which is high in sugar. It’s good to take fruits, vegetables, and milk and dairy products for good health but remember they too have the sugar in them. And if they remain in mouth for long can lead to tooth decay. So you must brush your teeth regularly and twice a day. Apart from the above, do wash your mouth after every meal else the food particles stay in the mouth which not only damages the tooth but also causes bad breath. Meet your dentist for regular checkup.
