Fluorine prophylaxis

teethThe fluoride prevention objectives complement the insufficient income of fluorine (F) in the enamel of the tooth, increasing its hardness and strength. It is important to begin preventive fluoride from four months of pregnancy the mother should continue during lactation, and then 2-3 years after the breakthrough of the last permanent tooth
Endogenous means the introduction of prophylactic doses of fluoride in the digestive tract. The methods are: fluorinated drinking water (one of the most efficient methods), fluoridated salt, milk, mineral water, through the adoption of fluoride tablets and others. Thus providing optimum fluoride concentration and thus to achieve maximum impact on even the mineralization of hard tooth structure, enamel and dentin. Before breaking the teeth, they can be influenced only by endogenous prevention.
Exogenous: This is an external, local, local application of fluoride preparations. Applied after a breakout teeth. Fluoride prevention is aimed at two main etiologic factors of caries, namely to increase the resistance of solid tooth structure and reduce the effects of destructive factors (microorganisms, plaque and its substrate).

dental cariesThe prevention of dental caries is a complex activity. Its proper implementation depends on the establishment of preventive measures and responsibility for this is split evenly between the patient and dentist. It was found that the cost of preventive measures is one-tenth of the value of a possible treatment. Not to be missed and the fact that each treatment in one degree or another event is invasive in terms of biological structures as a result of which they never recover 100%. For the prevention of caries can distinguish the following few factors:
1) regular and proper cleaning of teeth
2) use of mouthwashes to reduce the bacterial flora
3) fluorine and nutritional prevention
4) silanizing the deep pits and fissures
5) regular screening and treatment of small cavities
Teeth cleaning is executed with different types of brushes – ordinary electric interdental, thread teeth and showers (irrigator)

denturesIs it correct to assume that because there are 32 teeth in the mouth we can live without any of them? And you let them hurt and destroy, while the pliers remain the only solution?
Tooth disease begins before the first black spot on its surface. It starts subsurface – with extraction of minerals from the enamel due to increased acidity in the mouth. Acidification usually occurs after meals, but after taking acid products – citrus fruits, juices, sodas and more.
It should be borne in mind that tooth extraction and subsequent surgery goes triple and four times more expensive than cure the patient tooth. Nothing is more valuable than natural teeth! Therefore, you should use every opportunity to preserve the tooth.
However, when tooth extraction is the only alternative for treatment, then come to the aid prosthesis construction. Depending on the number and position of teeth removed resort to removable dentures or fixed structures (bridges, crowns …)

teeth bracketsOften the parents are concerned about the interference in the aesthetic appearance of teeth or bite your child. In many of these cases are variations that can affect individual tooth shape, jaw size, their size determined in 3 planes, and the ratio between them. Those deviations interfere with normal function of the masticatory apparatus, face and jaw apparatus and hence growth and growing of the organism. Together with of them deals the orthodontics, but their treatment is carried out by specialists, dentists orthodontists. The causes of the tooth and jaw deformities are the main ones genetic brackets, which prevent from the bad habits in the child (cheek and other objects pacifier to late age, etc.).
The treatment of dental-jaw deformities stops Impact of etiologic factors (causes) and removes the effects of the illness. It gives a power through impact on the supporting tissues of teeth and jaws using special devices ortodons. Very often after active treatment is necessary to use retention (hold) devices to prevent the restoration of dental-facial deformities and the stabilization of the result achieved.
