1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVE
To know or determine the bacterial organisms associated with toot ache (dental caries) and bleeding gum.
To be able to isolate those bacterial organisms that causes bleeding gum and dental caries.
To know the effect of some tooth pastes especially (maclean on the tooth problems.
To educate people (both young and old) on how to take proper care of
their teeth and maintain a good oral hygiene and make a wise choice of
the type of food to go for so as to maintain a healthy teeth.
1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The high rate of dental damages and bleeding gum among people of all
ages. These damages have caused a lot of loss of teeth, eruption of the
affected teeth and even change of colour of teeth among the young
beautiful and handsome youths and old adults. Many old people in the
vikages cannot comfortable chew hard, hot, and cold foods because of
dental problems. Some young people whose teeth have a bad look cannot
boldly open their moth publicly and talk. Yet the cause of the high rate
of these dental damages was not clearly understood and hence, the
topic. To determine and isolate those bacteria that are capable of
causing dental problems (tooth ache), particularly dental caries and
bleeding gum.
1.4 THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This work
is highly beneficial to those who suffer from dental caries (tooth ache)
and bleeding gum by providing a guild on how to control the disease and
stop further spread and damages. Those who are at risk of getting this
diseases because of their choice of food and poor oral hygiene, thereby
exposing their teeth to bacterial contamination. They are educated to
reduce the frequency of their surgar intake as this is the cause of
dental problems foods like vegetables, cheeses, milks, yogurt etc are
preferable. The world at risk can also maintain proper oral hygiene by
brushing and flushing their teeth every morning and at night before
bedtime and possible after every meal. People who just pick any tooth
paste without considering its composition or content can now look for
those tooth pastes that have fluoride content and those produced from
natural herb extracts.
The knowledge of the type of
micro-organisms associated with dental caries and bleeding gum will help
to find out adequate drugs that can quire the diseases.
1.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
There
is lack of adequate financial support which resulted in some
difficulties in carrying out the practical, such problems are buying of
materials needed for carrying out the practical, transportation the
Laboratory where the practical is being carried out and provision.
Also during the collection of the sample, some micro- organization in
the mouth and those around the teeth were introduced in the sample and
as the suspected micro- organisms were growing these surrounding micro-
organisms also grew and there was difficulty in differentiating between
them.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Isolation and identification of bacteria associated with dental caries (Tooth ache) and bleeding gum and the effect of some tooth pastes (Macleans) was evaluated using a mouth swap collected from a patient at dental school Trans Ekulu Enugu, and three tooth pastes collected from Ogbete main market Enugu. The three tooth pastes are close up, Dabur herbal tooth past and oral B. the mouth swap was cultured using Nutrient medium and MacConkey medium. The bacteria organisms isolated were Streptococ ...
