Professional dental hygiene is an important part of dental care and plays a key role in maintaining oral health. During this treatment, plaque, tartar and discoloration are thoroughly removed to minimize the risk of tooth decay and periodontitis.
Patients also receive valuable tips on optimal oral care and individual prophylaxis measures. Regular visits for professional dental hygiene not only promote dental health, but also general well-being. A radiant smile and fresh breath are the positive results of careful dental cleaning.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a common problem that can occur both during sleep and during the day. It manifests itself through the unconscious rubbing or clenching of the teeth and can have various causes, including stress, anxiety or misalignment of the teeth.
The consequences of teeth grinding can be manifold: In addition to wear and tear on the teeth, jaw problems, headaches and tension in the neck and shoulder area can also occur. Early detection and appropriate measures are important to minimize the negative effects on dental health and general well-being.
A healthy dental diet plays a crucial role in oral health and well-being. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals support tooth enamel and promote gum health. Foods containing calcium in particular, such as dairy products, green vegetables and nuts, help to strengthen teeth.
Sugary snacks and drinks, on the other hand, can promote tooth decay as they provide food for bacteria in the mouth. A balanced diet that includes fresh fruit, vegetables and wholegrain products not only helps to keep the body healthy, but also reduces the risk of dental problems.
Proper dental care is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. To effectively remove plaque and bacteria, teeth should be brushed at least twice a day. It is important to use a toothpaste containing fluoride, as fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay.
The brushing technique also plays a central role. The areas between the teeth and along the gums in particular should not be neglected. The use of dental floss or interdental brushes is also recommended to clean hard-to-reach areas. Regular check-ups at the dentist complement daily oral hygiene and contribute to the long-term health of your teeth.
