During pregnancy it is rather important to look after your oral health, because of the hormonal exception it can come to inflammatory periodontium changes.

The still existing belief “With every pregnancy a women loses a tooth” is when put in prospect with the current oral hygiene measures not valid anymore. If you plan to get pregnant, an appointment at the dentist cannot be missed.

What is desirable is a cavity free and a non-need to redevelop the natural dentition during and after the pregnancy. The mother is unfortunately a transmitter of bacteria for her newborn. Please let us consult you about prophylactic measures during your pregnancy.

Your habitually teeth cleaning should be definitely continued. The dentist will of course take the right placement procedures with a more advanced pregnancy. Although, if a treatment is still necessary, there is enough experience in non-hurtful treatment forms.

We are always open for questions if help is needed!

Oral care during seniority – challenges and chances

The sensory impressions are getting worse when aging. Nog only does the normal aging process lead to restrictions but also the general diseases lead to incisions in mobility and motility. This development can lead to difficulties for the daily dental care:

• when looking in the mirror teeth become difficult to see
• holding the tooth brush is getting more problematic
• leftovers are getting stock between the teeth more easily, because the distances between the teeth are getting bigger
• the location of the mouth is changing, due to the intake of drugs, which leads to xerostomia
  
  

It is important to recognize these changes when growing old and work against them.
This is vital concerning your oral care. Due to modern dental medicine many seniors have teeth of their own or very upscale artificial teeth today. It is simply a delusion that fewer teeth cause less work and care.
Prophylaxis is utterly important to us, because it depicts a very important pillar in today’s dentistry. It is a great matter to us to especially to help elderly people from getting oral diseases.
Additionally to the daily oral care you should conduct a regular tooth cleaning in a dental clinic with good qualified personnel.

Cavity and Periodontitis are preventable - If you and I work together!

A highly effective prophylaxis – Measures to protect your teeth from cavity and periodontitis are a good oral hygiene and you a thorough tooth cleaning treatment in our dental clinic, the so called professional tooth cleaning (PTC). The daily home care is not sufficient to remove all the tartar (plaque) – it especially difficult in the interdental space and the gingival margin (GM).

Did you know that in 1mg plaque you can find up to 250 million germs. The metabolic products of these germs cause cavity and inflammation of the gingiva. If you do not treat your gingiva it will turn into periodontitis (periodontal apparatus disorder).

Our program for tooth prophylaxis include:

• Professional tooth cleaning (PTC)
  Professional tooth cleaning is a protective treatment which prevents your teeth from getting cavity and periodontitis

The disease of cavity is an utterly complex process. Especially the consumption of sugary nutrition and beverages has normally the perfect functioning, natural balance of the “biotope” oral cavity, changed.

There are billions of microorganisms, bacteria and bacilli living there. Some usually harmless microorganisms even develop a dangerous activity if sweets, meals or beverages are being processed with hidden sugar.
They breed with lightning speed, build a tenacious sticky mass, and which leads to tartar (plaque) on the teeth.
They also produce during their metabolism an aggressive acid. From that acid, the first attack will be on the hardest substance of the body, the dental enamel and afterwards the dentinal will be destroyed.

Even before any teeth damages have occurred, the risk of cavity, which is different for every human being, can be determined by the saliva diagnostic.

Similarly to the blood analysis in which the doctor evaluates your blood sugar or your level of fat, and also builds his therapy relying on these values; the modern science did also develop a diagnostic process for dental medicine: the saliva test. With its help, the individual cavity risk can be detected and controlled.
The amount of the cavity causing microorganisms-streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli can be determined through the bacteriological analysis per millimetre.

The acidity level will be determined by the pH-value. Scientists have the middle or “natural” value of the saliva with 6.4.
The value changes constantly and is influenced by alimentation and the activity of the dental plaque.
If the acidity level will decrease underneath 5.6 as for example when eating candy, there will be a saliva acidity increase. With the increase of acidity, the risk of getting cavity is much higher, because the natural cushion saliva effect is reduced.

The amount of saliva needed will be taken out of your mouth with a specially developed test strip and brought on a hotbed. The bacteria (lactobacilli and streptococcus) will breed for two days in an incubator.

After proceeding with the micro bacteria analysis, the concentration of the bacteria in the saliva will be established and compared with a grid per millimetre of saliva.
The lactobacilli gives you a clue about the nutritional behaviour and the consumption about fermented carbohydrates (f. e.g. sugar). Whereas the amount of streptococcus mantus determines the individual risk of cavity.

The results of the saliva test gives you an individual, targeted and therefore an effective reduction of your personal cavity risk.
To attain that goal, several consultations and professional, preventive dental measures have to be taken into account and are necessary for

• Nutrition
• Oral hygiene
• Amelodentinal hardening through fluoride
• Cavity prevention through fissures – sealing
