The World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social . "In this landscape-health, our mouth plays a role of great importance, not just aesthetic. Why ' poor oral hygiene can lead not only to noise nuisance from which inflammation of the gums, tooth decay and gingivitis (periodontal disease), but may even pave the way for major diseases such as heart disease. We all know that "prevention is better than cure ." There is nothing better then that you follow some simple guidelines to bring in between our daily actions .
caries: the number one enemy
The worst enemy is the decay of our teeth. Caused by plaque and its metabolites by bacteria and microorganisms (caries), tooth decay affects the teeth and destroys them: bacteria entering the tooth and deteriorate until his his root canal, with all the unpleasant consequences.
Plaque
But what is the infamous "plaque"? This is food residues stagnate in the mouth and that along with germs and bacteria that proliferate in the oral cavity , adhere strongly to the tooth wall. The saliva then inserts in various minerals and complete the work because its viscosity facilitates the adherence of bacteria to the tooth. If this mass is not "clean out", hardens and becomes tartar . That is nothing but the petrification of the plate.
eye to the risks
The consequences of this destructive process are certainly unpleasant. Not always, however, we have full awareness. Or the underestimate. Prevention is aimed, therefore, first, to inform and educate to prevent the onset of various disorders. The first symptoms of decay can already be found in change in tooth color (which disturbs the 'appearance) and in' halitosis (bad breath), but there are others far more important, such as: * gingival inflammation and swelling * periodontal pockets (deep sulcus where lurks the plate) * Periodontal disease (pyorrhea) to tooth mobility tooth loss *
And is everything.
Insufficient oral hygiene can affect the whole body, not only can cause chronic inflammation of teeth, 'bone and gums, but can also affect other parts of the' body, making even contributory cause of heart disease and other diseases.
The right way middle
Even excessive cleaning may be harmful to teeth and gums. Improper use (too aggressive) of the toothbrush deteriorates the enamel and gums hurt that, over time, retire, freeing the "dental necks." Not only toothbrush, dental floss, but also - effective help to clean the spaces between teeth and the other - must be used correctly that does not lead to gum inflammation and possible chronic periodontitis. For the health of our mouth is therefore essential to good information on using these simple, everyday tools and therapy before reconstructive is important to follow an individual program of oral hygiene.
Prophylaxis for adults and children
What to do to stem the decay hazard- unpleasant situations before they happen? Monitoring visits every 4 - 6 months , already represent a policy of prevention and help to implement early therapy. The specialist can then take action as appropriate and "clean" the teeth with different procedures, including ultrasound or method "airflow." In this case, a balanced mix of baking soda, air and water spray removed quickly and painlessly plaque and the patina. Subsequently, the teeth are smoothed with a rubber and treated with fluoride makes enamel more resistant and inhibits tooth decay by bacteria. The "sealing" of the fissures of permanent teeth is another method used to prevent tooth decay. With a non-invasive technique, the dentist fills a sealant part of the tooth that brushing can not reach. Checked every six months, sealing may possibly be renewed.
A smile
Healthy Teeth ... but also white. And 'what is proposed by the proven technique of "bleaching" or "teeth whitening". In our society where the image has become a very important role, the smile of a star is the desire of many and the demand for high-performance aesthetic is increasingly common. This treatment - only cosmetic and combined with other methods of oral hygiene - can be done either on the teeth is vital and devitalized on those promises lasting brilliance.
The four pillars of prevention of dental caries
to fight tooth decay, so here is summarized the four important guidelines to follow: - Change of type of feeding - Using cariostatici containing fluorine - Sealing of cracks Dental - Dental Hygiene accurate controlled
