At night, the water may be a comfortable thing, and as compensation for this, that you can no longer bite with their own teeth, but the cause is just this behavior is not.Like the original teeth, dentures is also cleaned and maintained, as set on the replacement of bacteria, food debris and dead cells, mucous (=) denture plaque and cause inflammation, or bad breath.
For cleaning, there are basically two methods:

Secrets of a fresh breath.
Few are those who have not suffered at one time or another, from bad breath. Some rules of hygiene can help reduce these annoyances.
Bad breath, otherwise known as halitosis, is not a mysterious phenomenon. We know precisely its immediate cause: it is due to the presence of sulfur compounds including hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercantile, which give the breath a smell of rotten eggs. A device even exists to quantify the presence of these compounds, altimeter which there is little evidence, however, useful in practice.
First charge: bacteria.
Nine times out of ten, causing bad breath is mouth. It is believed that bacteria accumulate in the furrows dug by the papillae on the posterior part of the language. It is these bacteria that produce extremely volatile sulfur compounds that escape into the exhaled air. The presence of these bacteria also explains the stench morning. Saliva is less abundant during the night, they tend to accumulate. The mere fact of getting up, drinking or taking his breakfast is usually enough to eliminate the smell and they are responsible.

Among the many disadvantages associated with orthodontic bands, that impede hygiene is not the least important. It is a fact that rings and son orthodontic attachments are true nests plaque and this even if the hygiene is good.
Produce an effective brushing is an achievement when you wear an orthodontic appliance such as this one (photo-cons).
Orthodontic bands and bacterial.
The plaque serves as food for bacteria that colonize the buckle space and the tooth surfaces. The sugar residues adhering to fixed orthodontic equipment in your mouth, feed the bacteria proliferate and fungi. During orthodontic treatment, the rings induce bacterial overgrowth that is the logical conclusion of Japanese researchers after a study (1) conducted on 58 patients. Researchers at Kagoshima University have studied the presence of opportunistic bacteria and fungi by comparing the oral flora of the holders of orthodontic bands with people that do not bear. (more…)
Hygiene in these cases has to be special and rigorous to stop this disease that can lead to loss of our teeth.
Improved hygiene.
Hygiene in these cases has to take care especially since its cause is infection caused by bacterial plaque.
There will be regular brushing, proper dental hygiene, proper, ie with a toothbrush and toothpaste and rub on all sides of the teeth.
In the case of periodontal disease there, the brush should be placed so that their filaments form an angle of about 45 degrees to the tooth surface supported between the gum and tooth, in which space (sulcus) be made lightly. (more…)
The teeth and surrounding structures are more susceptible than we think to infection. With proper hygiene can be more protected from bacteria that attack our teeth and gums.
The periodontium
The periodontium consists of the tissues that surround and protect the teeth. These are the gum tissue, bone around the tooth (called alveolar bone), periodontal ligament and cemented. A healthy gingival is pink, has an elastic consistency and appearance of orange peel. In a healthy tooth the gingival come to embrace the neck of the tooth, which is the union between the crown and root.
The bone under normal conditions reaches 1-1.5 mm below the attachment. (more…)
Are dental work forever?
Occasionally patients ask me if the dental work, whether we are finishing the crown, the bleached-fill or lifelong.
The last dental restorations according to the care and food and hygiene habits are taken. Even under the most devoted care, nothing lasts forever.
It should be noted that the restoration of your teeth are under constant pressure to wear and acids, especially those accustomed to eating sweets or drinking too much soda. Therefore, we can not expect to last more than 10 or 15 years.
So if I get a crown does that mean that I no longer worry about the tooth?
The crown still have your job because the structure of your tooth was weakened, or needed a root canal (root canal). The crown protects what is left of the tooth. However, even the crown itself can not “bite”, the rest of the tooth is continuously exposed to bacteria, sugar and cavities, especially in the line where the crown ends and begins his tooth. (more…)
The hygiene of the teeth is very important that our kids are toddlers. We must be alert and know how to proceed both in hygiene and in their dental education from the beginning.
Before the eruption of teeth, jaws rims clean with gauze or a clean soft cloth wrapped around his forefinger. This practice can continue until the appearance of the first four teeth. Finger cots may then be made with latex or small brushes for children.
The best place for the hygiene of the mouth is the place where diapers are changed typically after the bath to incorporate hygiene of the mouth to the rest of the body.
From 9 to 12 months and eight anterior teeth erupted and as the dentition is complete chewing cycle stabilizes. When the upper and lower teeth touch, the muscles of the jaws begin to learn new roles, the first movements are irregular as those seen during the first etadio of any motor skill. Oral hygiene from little ones. (more…)
