As people age, they often experience various health issues, including dental problems. This can be attributed to physiological changes, lifestyle factors, and an increased prevalence of certain medical conditions.

Some of the most common dental problems faced by older age people are:

• Jaw disorders
• Tooth decay
• Periodontal disease
• Dry mouth (xerostomia)

Vaidam encountered a case of Ms. Sheilar Irene Kunzekweguta from Zimbabwe, who was suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, a group of conditions that affect the jaw and its movement.

Ms. Sheilar was fed up with her condition as she was facing difficulties while chewing, and her jaw made popping sounds and pain/tenderness in the neck region.

To get rid of the pain she had been living with for some time, she and her husband started searching online for the best possible treatments and found Vaidam Health.

She posted a query on our website and was quickly responded to by one of our case managers, who suggested she come to India and consult one of the top dentists in India.

When she came to India with her husband, she consulted Dr. Riddhi Rathi Seth, a well-known Dental Specialist with 16 years of experience.

The patient's husband expressed his satisfaction with the journey, saying, "The case manager from Vaidam assisted in all the logistics to get us to Mumbai, from the medical visas to the travelling arrangements, pick up from the Airport, and accommodation."

Later, Ms. Sheilar went to the doctor who evaluated her past medical history and performed some tests such as Full OPG (including TMJ to check the joint) and Cervical/Spinal X-rays. After this, she suggested she undergo a few treatments, which included:

• Deep gingival scaling and root planing
• Flap surgery
• Full mouth rehabilitation with change of old crowns
• Dental splinting

The whole treatment plan was carried out successfully at Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai, and a rehabilitation plan was also introduced to her. The couple stayed in India for 21 days, during which the husband also had a full-body health checkup.

After completing treatment, they returned to their home country. They were both happy with the services they were offered and expressed their gratitude, saying, "We stayed in Mumbai for three weeks under the full care of Vaidam and their team."

We hope her recovery is quick and leads her back to all the things she loves!
