New Delhi (India), February 17: Dental Implants are great options for people who have one or more missing teeth. However, people are afraid of getting a tooth implant due to certain myths associated with dental implants. Here are some best dentists debunking the common myths among people about dental implants.

 Dr. Abhishek Bhardwaj, BDS, MDS, MomsRcps, (Glasgow), FICD (USA) Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Abhirachna Dental Clinic, South Delhi

A dental implant is the best way to replace a missing tooth. At Abhirachna Dental, we place implants using state-of-the-art technology like CBCT and digital scanning. This makes the procedure highly accurate. Dental implants can last a lifetime if done correctly and good oral hygiene is maintained.
In cases where there is minimal or no bone, zygomatic implants provide a novel solution to replace missing teeth. Dr. Abhishek Bhardwaj has a vast array of experience, especially in Noble Biocare and Noris Zygomatic implants. Abhirachna Dental is a one-stop solution for all your restorative needs, including dental implants, chin implants, and zygomatic implants, with the added benefit of an in-house CBCT scanning facility.

 Dr.Sajid  Shaikh, MDS, Consultant and Lecturer, Observer – Tata Memorial Hospital, Smile 4U Family Dental Clinic, Mumbai

Many patients doubt implants’ efficiency and convenience, but in most cases, it is mainly due to misleading or false information. Implant treatment is painful – With advanced technology, implant treatment is less invasive than it used to be. Implants tend to fail in the long run- When properly cared for, they can last a lifetime. The implant appears unnatural or fake- The implant is buried underneath the gum, so it should not be visible. When restored with porcelain crowns or bridges, dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. Implants are not for older people, or I am not healthy enough- Age is not a decisive factor in the success of the treatment. Elders require the most dental rehabilitation.

Dr. Jyoti C Bhasin, BDS, PGC Endo & Aesthetics (USA), Associate Fellow AAID (USA), FICD (USA), Microendodontist,I malacologist, Tooth & Gum Dental Clinic, Agra

 Dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium, which replaces the root portion and becomes the basis for crowns, bridges, and dentures to replace missing teeth. With the advent of digital technology like CBCT and intraoral 3D scanners, it’s becoming more precise and painless, with immediate aesthetic options. With a success rate as high as 94%–98%, there are very few or negligible conditions where it can’t be done. Older patients with loose dentures are the ones who benefit the most. Patients also have much improved oral health, an improved aesthetic appearance, and better chewing ability.

Dr.Sankalp Mittal, Head Of Department -Government Dental College Jaipur, Registrar -Rajasthan State Dental Council, BDS, MDS (Oral And Maxillofacial Surgeon) -Mittal Dental Clinic, Jaipur

Teeth loss not only affects the inability to eat, but it also has a profoundly negative effect on patients’ self-esteem and psychology. Dental implants—we are lucky to have this new advancement in dental implant technology. The procedure has made it possible to select cases, remove teeth, and place implants with crowns in just one visit. So many patients visit us with tooth loss; traditionally, we had only two options: either get removable dentures or a bridge in case of tooth loss. Many patients suffer from depression, particularly when their removable dentures irritate them and make them self-conscious in public. It is no longer an issue with dental implants. We assure you that each penny spent on a dental implant is worth it.

Dr. Mohammed Faisal Hasib, BDS, FFA(fellowship in facial aesthetics), Organization name, Dr. MFH – Medicare For Happiness, Delhi

Dental implants are painful: This is a myth as dental implant procedures are performed under local anesthesia, making the process comfortable and pain-free. Implants are not natural-looking: Modern dental implants are designed to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, making them undetectable. They are too expensive: While dental implants can be more expensive, they offer a long-lasting solution. Implants are not durable: Dental implants can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. You can’t eat or speak normally: Dental implants are designed to function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, talk, and smile with confidence. Implants are only for single-tooth replacement: Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even the arch of teeth.

Dr. Rikin Gogri, Chief Dental Director – Aurous Dental, Fellow- International Congress of Oral Implantologist, Diplomate – Indian Society of Oral Implantologist, Fellow Indian Society of Oral Implantologist, Head of Dental Dept – Maru Hospital, Aurous Dental Clinic, Goregaon

The dental implant acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. A dental implant fused to the jawbone is the closest thing to mimicking a natural tooth because it stands on its own without affecting the nearby teeth and has good stability. Most dental implants are made of titanium, which allows them to integrate with bone without being recognized as a foreign object in our body. Over time, technology and science have progressed to greatly improve the outcomes of dental implant placement.

The dental implant process is very safe and very successful. Dental implant treatment is not at all scary or painful. It provides a long-term functional solution so patients can eat what they like. It improves their quality of life!

Dr.Shrutika Itkelwar, BDS, Implantologist (FICOI) & Chief Clinician, DentinixMultispeciality Dental Clinic, Bangalore

Dental implants are the most efficient way to replace single or multiple teeth. With advanced technology and high-end scans like CBCT, digital planning and guides can implement the procedure more efficiently and less painfully. Anterior tooth replacement with zirconia crowns enhances the smile, and posterior implants help chew food properly and restore function.

Planning and a case study can also be used to perform full mouth rehabilitation on patients who have no teeth. Even diabetic patients with well-controlled blood sugar levels undergo these procedures. With their doctor’s permission and guidance, they can have other medical conditions, but the success rate of implants is higher and can be maintained with regular follow-ups. So say yes to implants and trust your implantologist!

Dr. Archit Kedia, MDS, BDS, FAGE, Endodontist& Smile Design Specialist – Avant Dental, Kolkata

Implants are the most effective way to correct your smile and replace one or more teeth.

Some common myths about implants are: Everyone Will Know You Have Implants- Dentures are often noticeable, but implants look like actual teeth, thanks to the latest dental technology and the materials used in the implant crown. Implants do not last long. Not true! Every patient is different, and there are no guarantees, but implants can last a lifetime if properly maintained. Implants are for young people. Age is not a factor. Instead, the patient’s overall health, jaw bone strength, and gum tissue health are the deciding factors. Getting Implants is Painful- This is a misconception. In reality, implant surgery is performed under anesthesia, ensuring a painless experience.

Dr. (Prof) Ankur Gupta, MDS( Prosthodontics And Oral Implantology), Diplomate( ICOI,USA) Dentistry, Kolkata

The decision to undergo dental implant treatment offers a variety of excellent benefits, all of which contribute to a happier, healthier life. Tooth implants function as replacement tooth roots and remain the only permanent restorative dentistry solution.

Appearance Improved: Improve your appearance and self-esteem through dental implants, as it provides a natural look. Improved Eating: Tooth implants mean eating every food you love without issue, as implants fortify the gum line. Improved Bone Growth: Allow optimal bone stimulation and growth when you choose dental implants. They work as natural teeth and prevent jawbone damage. Painless treatment modality: With the advent of improved technologies, dental implant treatment has become almost pain-free and safe. Enjoy the benefits of natural teeth without any risk.

Dr. Shrey Nandi, BDS, MSc.(Orthodontics), PGDHA, FAGE, Healing Touch Dental, Gurgaon

There are several myths about dental implants that have been circulating for a long time. Here are a few of them: Dental implants are painful. It is not true. While it is normal to experience some discomfort and swelling after the surgery, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so most people do not feel any pain during the procedure.

Implants are too expensive: While dental implants can be more expensive than other options, they are a long-term investment in your oral health and smile. Implants take a long time to heal. While the integration process after a conventional dental implant procedure can take up to three months, many patients have little downtime and can resume their normal activities quickly.

The Ekostay endeavor right from the beginning was to make Ekostay synonymous to homestay, and provide immersive and top-notch experiences to craft a charming stay with elusive amenities and an efficient in-house team to provide guests with a seamless and hassle-free staycation”.

Ekostay has designated city managers and a diligent back office staff that are responsible to ensure that guests have a smooth experience right from check-ins to check-outs, without any hassles. Professional Ekostay caretakers are available at the property throughout the stay, to make the stay as comfortable as possible without glitches. Sohail Mirchandani, co-founder of Ekostay said,” The idea behind having an in -house team of electricians, plumbers, carpenters and handymen at every property allows our guests to relax and unwind without having to waste time in contacting or searching for labor, in case of a power-cut failure or furniture malfunction. Once a guest books our villa, we make utmost effort to look into every detail, small or big for a stay that is truly impeccable and unique”. Ekostay’s mission is to provide a standardized yet personalized homestay experience that has a customer-centric approach and is built with a view to create collaborations with homeowners. Ekostay collaborates with homeowners by listing their properties under the Ekostay banner, and acts as an efficient platform for hosting their exclusive properties. It’s a win-win situation where homeowners enjoy a source of income and are also relieved from the hassle of hosting and managing guests. Varun Arora, co-founder of Ekostay said, “We welcome home owners to list their properties with Ekostay, to create collaborations that last for a lifetime.

Zeeshan Ali, Ekostay co-founder said, “Ekostay’s business model revolves around a mix of fixed rental model and revenue-sharing model with a 75 % focus on fixed rentals where we lease a property and further sublease it to tourists for short stays. The other 25 % works on a revenue-sharing model where we do an exclusive tie-up with a homeowner and split the profits at a pre-decided fixed ratio”. We only take up properties that give us an exclusive control to manage operations and administration”.

Ekostay’s greatest competitive advantage is that it has an absolute and elusive authority to manage properties that leads to standardization of services.

Hussain Khatumdi, co-founder Ekostay said, “Ekostay has experienced an exponential average growth of more than 250% over a short span of less than 5 years, despite the pandemic, which I attribute to teamwork and a vivaciously futuristic take on expansion to add more than 500+ properties by 2025 under the Ekostay umbrella.

VDOC, Integrating India’s Healthcare and Education Systems

New Delhi [India], February 17: The co-founder of VDOC Lifesciences Private Limited, Aishwarya Pathak, discusses the value of offering health services in schools and in what way VDOC, with its evidence-based telemedicine solution, is ideal for this task. The health and education of children are strongly intertwined. Children must be healthy to learn and perform at their highest potential in school. Children in good health are more likely to attend school regularly, focus better, and perform better academically. Contrarily, poor health can result in absences from school and subpar academic performance, hindering the overall development of children.

Schools should, therefore, serve as health promoters for their students from an early age by actively promoting healthy habits. Telemedicine can play a significant role in this. Per our research, a doctor is not always present in schools but is called on a need-to-need basis, or a student is transported to the nearest hospital in an emergency. However, VDOCs can assist and provide students with immediate relief and aid in the early detection of health and developmental issues in children.

Micronutrient deficiencies such as iron, vitamin A, zinc, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and iodine deficiency are all linked to severe health issues, including increased susceptibility to infections, blindness, stunted growth, cognitive decline, poor academic and occupational performance, and even death. Young children, adolescent girls, and women aged 15 to 49 are especially vulnerable to the effects of micronutrient deficiency due to their high requirements. Furthermore, most micronutrient deficiencies have vague symptoms, making them difficult to detect and sometimes referred to as “hidden hunger.” Another aspect of malnutrition is obesity, which is more prevalent in urban areas and has consequences for children’s physical health, social and emotional well-being, and self-esteem. Overweight or obese children are more likely to remain overweight into adulthood and develop noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease earlier in life.

The ease of access and affordability provided by telemedicine makes it ideal for monitoring the health status of children, such as vital signs and symptoms, right at their schools, which can aid in the early detection of potential health issues. Students will be more engaged in their health because they will understand the importance of monitoring their health. Besides, it will also help them to inculcate an attitude to take preventative measures to stay healthy, which is likely to have a positive spillover in their adult life. Additionally, telemedicine can provide virtual access to mental health services like counselling and therapy that can assist children in coping with stress, anxiety, and other mental health problems that may affect their growth and academic performance. In addition, telemedicine services provided in schools can save significant amounts of time and money by eliminating the need for students to leave school for medical appointments.

VDOC provides an evidence-based telemedicine service with its cutting-edge technology that allows students to save time by receiving medical consultations and follow-up care at school from doctors of various specialities at a reasonable cost, eliminating the need for them to travel outside of school for medical appointments, saving time and money for parents or guardians who would otherwise have to take time off work to accompany their child to a medical appointment.

Furthermore, health services in schools can impart critical data to the government for improving governance initiatives such as the Midday Meal Scheme, which helps enhance the nutritional status of children. Per our research, biomarkers for micronutrient status are rarely included in population and health-based surveys, leaving a significant evidence gap on the burden of micronutrient malnutrition within countries and globally. Regular health monitoring in schools can provide valuable information regarding children’s nutritional deficits and health concerns.

Furthermore, telemedicine can assist in finding tangible information on the impact of air pollution, arsenic water contamination, and fluoride levels in water on children’s health and development. All these make children vulnerable and can lead to severe diseases if exposed for an extended period. The observations from regular health monitoring can be applied to track the outcomes of existing schemes and policies, address the shortcomings of current policies, and develop better public health policies. For instance, suppose a public school conducts routine dental check-ups on its students and discovers that most have high fluoride levels. This information is critical for the school or the relevant government authority to investigate the cause of such high fluoride levels early. Subsequently, appropriate measures can be taken to reduce the current and future health risks associated with high fluoride intake.

As a result, telemedicine can be instrumental in routine health surveillance that helps identify not only the health risks of an individual but also the community at large, ultimately bolstering India’s public health system. The situation post-COVID-19 presents us with an opportunity to reconsider the type of school we want to have in the future. VDOC can be a capable partner in integrating India’s healthcare and education systems, ensuring that future generations are healthy and resilient to future pandemics by being proactive and health-conscious since childhood.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 17: In the changed times of today, hygiene is of utmost importance. Especially in the post-pandemic era, it is crucial to maintain exceptional oral hygiene to avoid spreading diseases. Among the time-consuming and expensive oral hygiene products, Kwik mint stands out for its sheer convenience to consumers.

The Kwik Mint strip is the latest addition to the mouth freshener and breath mint section. Despite having many products in the section, Kwik Mint has carved its place within a short period, thanks to its immense health and hygiene benefits.

As the name indicates, Kwik Mint consists of the goodness of mint, both in flavour and fragrance. It is undoubtedly one of the most convenient and travel-friendly mouth fresheners, as it comes in pouches and Cassettes. There are three flavour variants available for Kwik Mints; Kwik Mint Original, Kwik Mint Zing, and Kwik Mint Burst. While Kwik Mint Original retains the authentic flavour of mint, Kwik Mint Zing incorporates Fennel, Cinnamon, and Menthol, and Kwik Mint Burst infuses Menthol, Spearmint, and Eucalyptus Oil.

Kwik Mint possesses great health benefits than most of its counterparts. It helps get rid of foul smells and also eradicates almost 99% of harmful oral bacteria. The instant freshness that Kwik Mint produces is incomparable to other products. The highlighting feature is its sugar-free nature. As it is made of sugar-free ingredients, anyone can consume it daily without worrying about affecting blood glucose levels.

The advanced technology in incorporating the ingredients into the Kwik mint enables it to tackle numerous other health issues like stress, nostril and throat issues, congestion, digestion issues, etc. They have proven helpful in alleviating migraines and flu and improving brain health.

The Kwik Mint Zing is specifically helpful in improving digestion. The fennel and menthol content are scientifically proven to be useful for improving all kinds of stomach issues. The Kwik Mint Burst is excellent for treating oral bacteria and oral infections. It helps reduce congestion and also relieves stress.

The packing and way of usage are certainly other reasons why Kwik Mint has taken over the mouth freshener markets. They are made available in tightly sealed sachets, so the air does not enter. This robust package considerably increases the shelf life of Kwik Mint and, thus, can be used for a very long time until and unless the package has not been tampered with. Some of them are even packed in cassettes for easy access and reuse.
