AYURVEDIC ASPECT OF TEETH HEALTH:

In Ayurveda, teeth are considered as part of Asthi dhatu (Bone tissue). Ayurveda texts have medicinal and anti-cryogenic (fight tooth decay) properties. Ayurveda recommends the use of herbal brushes and chewing sticks (Datun) for dental health (Danta swasthya in Sanskrit). Datun have been widely used in the Indian sub-continent, the middle east and Africa since ancient times. Datun can be a good alternative to a toothbrush and also prevents oral cavity disorders. Chewing Datun in morning as well as after every meal is useful in preventing oral cavity diseases. Ayurveda oral practice i.e.- holding fluid inside mouth (Gandush), gargling (Kaval) are claimed to cure oral cavity diseases and 30 other systemic disease.

GANDUSH is filling the mouth with medicated liquid in the morning and holding it for a few minutes without moving it inside the oral cavity.

KAVAL holds a comparatively less amount of liquid in the mouth and then moves it inside the oral cavity and spits it quickly.

DIAGNOSIS

Most dental problems can be diagnosed during a dental examination. During a dental check-up, your dentist will inspect your teeth, tongue, cheeks, mouth and throat. If any serious illness of the oral cavity is suspected, then your dentist may ask you to get the imaging tests done. These tests include:

X-RAY of oral cavity
MRI SCAN
CT-SCAN

TREATMENT

Various types of treatment are given in different oral cavity diseases;

Cleaning/Scaling– Dental cleaning is done to get rid of plaque.
Antibiotics– In case of gum infection and tooth abscess.

How to Manage Oral Submucous Fibrosis Naturally with Ayurveda

Abstract

OSMF is an oral precancerous disease characterized by inflammation and increasing fibrosis of the submucosal tissues, resulting in significant stiffness and trismus. OSMF continues to be a conundrum for doctors owing to its enigmatic pathophysiology and ill-defined categorization schemes. Many categorization schemes based on clinical, histological, or functional features have been described in medical literature throughout the years. None of these categories, however, has gained widespread recognition. However, Ayurveda can assist you in combating these using completely natural and herbal solutions that have no negative effects. We’ve seen how Ayurveda therapy is a significantly superior option to all other surgical and non-surgical therapies.

Introduction

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a premalignant condition linked to areca nut eating (betel nut). Trismus is a disease that affects people who chew betel (Areca catechu) nuts, gutkha, or pan masala. It is described by a tightness of the buccal, palatal, and lingual mucosae. Iron deficiency (anemia), vitamin B complex deficiency, mineral inadequacy, and malnutrition are all variables that impede the healing process of the inflamed oral mucosa, resulting in scarring and fibrosis.

Symptoms of Oral submucous fibrosis

Ayurveda claims that

Inflammation and gradual fibrosis of the lamina propria and submucosa define this condition. OSMF is becoming more common these days. Ayurveda places a strong focus on maintaining and promoting good health. The atrophic oral mucosa that results is more vulnerable to the impacts of irritants like chilies and betel nuts.

Symptoms of Oral Submucous Fibrosis

The mucosa feels leathery in the early stages of the illness, with palpable fibrotic bands. The oral mucosa loses its resilience and becomes pale and hard in the advanced stage. The illness is thought to start in the back of the mouth and then progress outward.

Other signs of OSMF include

Movement of the soft palate is bounded
Ulceration on a regular basis
Xerostomia
The mouth feels dry
Protrusion of the tongue
Stomatopyrosis
Limited mouth opening
The voice has a nasal tone to it
Hearing loss or ear pain
Oral mucosa pigmentation is a condition in which the mucosa of the mouth becomes darker.

Oral Submucous Fibrosis Causes

The known causes of Oral Submucous Fibrosis, such as chile consumption, genetic and immunological mechanisms, and dietary deficits, have already been ruled out.

Chewing of betel quid containing areca nuts has also been demonstrated to have a high copper concentration, and chewing areca nuts for 5-30 minutes optimizes the soluble copper content in oral secretions. It is dependent on the number and frequency of meals consumed during the day.

Oral Submucous Fibrosis Prevention

Avoid consuming alcoholic beverages.
Quit smoking.
Chewing on a pan or tobacco is not a good idea.
Spicy meals, coffee, and tea should be consumed in moderation.
Keep your mouth clean.

FEATURES IN CLINICAL STUDIES

The buccal mucosa, lips, soft palate, and possibly the throat are all affected by oral submucous fibrosis. The tissue is impacted symmetrically and becomes more hard and pallid. Progressive stiffness of the cheeks, which makes it difficult to open the lips, is a typical problem. The mucosa of the mouth is pallid and atrophic.

Treatment of Oral Submucous Fibrosis

When oral submucous fibrosis has progressed to the point that lesions are widespread, it is generally identified. Surgical therapy is typically not an option at this point, however, corticosteroid injections in the systemic and intralesional areas have been tried with mixed results. As a result, switching to natural and herbal treatments, such as Ayurveda, is critical.

Aloe vera juice, Gum Care Powder, Arjun Saar, and other herbs may be used to rinse and relieve the burning feeling. That is why Planet Ayurveda, one of the world’s top Ayurveda firms, provides you with herbal combinations like these.
