Über diesen Titel
"Paati, mel palla edukalaama?" (Grandma, can I remove my upper tooth?)The immediate answer from many elders in Tamil Nadu is: "Don't do it! Your eyesight will go away!"
In this episode of Pallu Pudungi, Dr. Jerosan tackles the most persistent fear in dentistry: Does extracting an upper tooth affect your vision?
We disconnect the wires:
The Electrician Logic: We explain why your tooth nerve (Trigeminal) and eye nerve (Optic) are like bedroom and kitchen lights—different switches, different wiring. Switching one off doesn't affect the other.
The Real Danger: Why avoiding treatment is actually dangerous for the eye. A spreading infection (Cellulitis) can travel upwards, whereas extraction stops the danger.
The Numbness Fear: Why your eyelid feels heavy after anesthesia (it’s just the medicine spreading temporarily, not permanent damage!).
Don't let a myth stop your treatment. Listen now to find out why your eye and tooth are only connected by your smile!
