Dr. Shefali Tuli - Produits

Almost 70 percent of the youth in Canada participate in organized sports. In most cases, some type of protective gear is either recommended or provided to individual players. An essential piece of gear for players of all ages is the custom-fit mouthguard. This protective gear should be worn during practice as well as all playtime for contact sports of all kinds as well as activities like skiing, surfing, and more. Currently, more than 90 percent of amateur athletes wear off-the-shelf mouthguards purchased at a sporting goods store. This means that only 10 percent of amateur athletes and student athletes are fully protected with a custom-fit mouthguard. A custom mouthguard is one that has been designed by a professional such as a dentist or athletic trainer. This appliance will meet the requirements for full protection, comfort, resiliency, minimal bulk, and more. Throughout the playing season, the mouthguard should remain tasteless and odourless, which is facilitated with proper materials. It should feel comfortable in the mouth and should not get in the way of swallowing or breathing normally. At the same time, the thickness of the mouthguard should provide adequate shock absorption to prevent injury should the lower jaw be forced upward.

While detecting and treating dental conditions such as cavities and gum disease are top priorities to dentists and their patients, statistics on oral cancer suggest that routine screening for this condition is very important. Each year, as many as 30,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed. Deaths linked to oral cancer amount to about 8,000 annually. While there are several risk factors for oral cancer, as much as 25 percent of diagnosed cases have none, and many of these cases involve individuals younger than 40. Mortality associated with various types of cancer, including colon cancer and cervical cancer, has improved a great deal. Oral cancer, on the other hand, has not improved in terms of survival rates for the past fifty years. The key to survival is early detection, and we believe the earliest possible detection for oral cancer comes from the use of accurate technology. At sherway dentistry in Etobicoke, patients can expect oral cancer screening that goes beyond the traditional manual examination of the head and neck. Dr. Tuli is happy to provide an examination of mucosal tissues using the precision VELscope® device.
