Holidaymakers warned by dentist to check TEETH before flying

Holidaymakers warned by dentist to check TEETH before flying

Flight crews are also being advised to make sure their teeth are in perfect health or they too could suffer while high in the skies

BY Prof Dr Ashish Gupta 

Holidaymakers are being urged to ensure their teeth are in good order before jetting off to foreign climes this summer if they want to avoid potential pain at 30,000ft.
And flight crews are also being advised to make sure their teeth are in perfect health or they too could suffer while high in the skies.

As airports prepare for the busiest period of the year as schools shut and families prepare to head off to the sun, a leading Delhi orthodontist is warning of the potential perils caused by bad dental health when flying.
Leading dentist Prof Dr Ashish Gupta  works at award-winning Gupta Dental Centre – The Multispeciality Centre alongside Prof Dr Ajai Gupta n Prof Dr Poonam Gupta one of the Delhi’s famous dental centre in New Delhi , India 

Dr Ashish , is concerned that many people don’t realise the implications of bad dental health when flying.

“People could be putting themselves at risk of searing pain before they even make it to their holiday destination this summer,” said Dr Ashish Gupta , who advises anyone who thinks they may have a cavity or poorly executed filling to get checked before they leave.
Tooth pain while flying is caused by a condition known as barodontalgia, which is pain in the teeth experienced during changes in pressure during flying.
First documented by World War II pilots, it is caused by small, air-filled pockets which can exist inside a cracked tooth, or a tooth where the filling is starting to fail or is poorly restored, or in cases where a chronic abscess is lurking beneath.

“The change in pressure experienced during flying can cause these air pockets to expand, causing very intense pain,” explained Dr Ashish .

“This is especially common at heights above 9000ft, and bearing in mind commercial aircraft fly at 30,000ft, this is a problem which can affect anyone who is taking a flight this summer”.
“Pilots of fighter aircraft are also subject to the risk of Barodontalgia – they call it ‘tooth squeeze’ – and it is such a painful condition that it is considered severe enough to affect flight safety.”

Dr Ashish  is now advising anyone who is planning to fly this summer to get checked out by their dentist before they go, to remove any risk of a flare-up.
“It is critical that teeth are restored with advanced techniques in composite or porcelain bonding in order to rectify these problems, and regular consultations with your dental professional are advised to monitor existing restorations or cracks.

“When it comes to getting ready for a holiday or trip, the last things people worry about are their teeth, but anyone who has had the misfortune to suffer with barodontalgia would tell you otherwise.
“It is a very painful condition and can ruin a holiday before it’s even begun, so I would advise everyone to book in to see their dentist a couple of months before they are due to fly to eliminate any problems before they occur.”
