Hello,

 I am Dr. Prerna Taneja. You are what you eat. What you eat depends on how good is your oral health. Today we are going to talk about what is the importance of teeth in our life. When we talk about the oral cavity or the teeth in it, this is the first step of digestion. 50% of our food is digested in the oral cavity. How effectively this process takes place depends on the number of teeth and your chewing efficiency. If your digestion is good obviously the nutrition that your body derives from it is going to be good and that is how if the nutrition is good you will be disease-free. So, good teeth are equal to being disease free.

How do we start getting this habit into our children? For children always make sure that they brush at least twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed. As children, they also want to eat chocolates and we as parents want to not give it to them. The ideal situation gives them the chocolates, at the end of the day they are kids but just remember to give them the chocolates or the sweets immediately after food because when we are eating or chewing there is a pH change which happens in the oral cavity. If the pH change happens multiple times which happens during in-between snacking, this leads to more cavities. So just give your child the chocolate or the sweets immediately after food.

Make sure that he just brushes his teeth with a brush without even the toothpaste after taking the sweet. This will ensure that he doesn't I have cavities. Also, remember to go to your dentist and get a fluoride treatment for the kid's teeth. Fluoride makes the outer layer of the teeth called enamel very strong and resistant to cavities. Always remember kid's teeth are the foundation for the permanent teeth. Make sure that you make this foundation very strong. Missing teeth lead to the vicious cycle of disease. If you have missing teeth, your chewing efficiency will decrease. If you have lesser chewing efficiency the nutritional status of the body will decrease.

This leads to an increase in the disease which you are suffering from. If you don't have the disease but still you have missing teeth then also you will not be able to chew your food properly which will lead to the development of a disease. So always replace missing teeth. How to replace them? The best replacement available is implant treatment. Implant not only replace the missing teeth as a permanent solution but also preserve the surrounding bone which is the jaw bone so that it doesn't reflect on your face. Implants, more or less, act like permanent natural teeth. So, invest in good oral health to be disease free.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

I am Dr. Prerna Taneja. All of us want to be successful and success comes from confidence. Confidence comes from looking good and feeling good about yourself. As we age, the confidence levels go down. When we are aging, not only there is a decrease in the energy of the body but also in the healing capacity and skin and hair go through a lot of changes. Let us talk about the aging skin problems which are mainly open pores, freckles which is the sunspots or pigmentation on the face. Also, we see in the aging skin that there are fine lines and wrinkles. As we age there is a volumetric loss that is there is a loss of fat in the middle third of the face which leads to the sagging of the skin.

Now how do we take care of all these issues? So you know aging as we age there is an investment that we make beforehand if we take care of the skin beforehand especially when you touch 25, if you start taking care of your skin then the aging process gets decreased or delayed. Now how do you take care of your skin? Always invest in a good cleanser which should be pH balanced, an alcohol-free toner, a good moisturizer which should be an ideal blend of the which ideally replenishes the water and the essential oils in your skin. Also invest in a good sunscreen, a medical sunscreen which has to be applied every 3 hours, be it you are outside the house or inside the house. Also, invest in a good medical facial so if you are able to stimulate your skin to produce natural collagen, aging will be delayed. So always invest in a good medical facial.

Now if you have reached that age of 30 plus and 35 plus and you have all these issues like open pores, sunspots which can be freckles or melasma or you have fine lines and wrinkles or you have skin sagging there is nothing to worry about. There is a solution to everything. Medically we have 360-degree solutions for all your aging skin issues. Chemical peels are one of the most natural ways to stimulate your skin. Don't go by the name of the chemical just because don't think that it is because it is named as a chemical it is going to harm your skin. Chemical peels actually stimulate your skin to produce natural collagen and that is how they lead to a younger looking skin. If the problem is more, then the doctor will tell you to go for a laser rejuvenation session where laser penetrates deep into the second layer of the skin and gives you a 360-degree regeneration. In cases where we have skin sag which is in the initial stages or fine lines we treat it with thermage.

Thermage is the most innovative skin stimulatory process which stimulates the production of natural collagen. If the fine lines and wrinkles are more you should go for the most advanced treatment which is called as the ultherapy. Ultherapy is actually equivalent to a non-surgical facelift procedure, it is that good. In case you want instant results then you must invest in the newest range of fillers and Botox. As we age, there are changes which happen within our hair also. The hair starts to get thinner; the density of the hair starts to decrease so that you see the bald patches or the widening of the center line of your hairline. Also, you see that the quality of hair becomes brittle, it becomes very rough with age. So what how do you take care of all these things? Early in life always invest in stimulating your scalp because ultimately the health of the hair depends on the health of the skin of the hair that is the scalp. Invest in something called the Nutra therapy for the hair which essentially stimulates or nourishes the hair roots. If the roots are healthy, the hair quality is going to be good. But as we age we see the thinning of the hair, the baldness coming in; to counteract this we have options of PRPs and growth factors. Growth factors and PRPs essentially replenish or nourish the hair roots.

PRP is taken. PRP is actually a growth factor which is taken from your blood but as we age, the quality of healing factors and growth factors in your blood decreases. If the quality is not good then the nourishment they can provide to the hair roots is also decreased. So to improve on that, we have growth factors which are medically available and they are one of the most advanced treatments to stimulate the hair roots to produce hair. Always remember that diet plays a very important role in hair regrowth. When we are talking about hair regrowth always remember to take a protein-rich diet, add a lot of fruits and vegetables to your diet, add vitamins like biotin to your diet. Also, ensure that you are not anemic or have iron deficiency. Increase the use of citrus fruits in your diet. This all this whole thing will help your hair to regrow better. Age is just a number. Look good and feel good.

Thank You
