Cavities are a common dental problem that can cause discomfort, pain, and even tooth loss if left untreated. However, there are several steps you can take to fight against cavities and maintain good oral health.

  1. Brush Twice a Day

One of the most effective ways to fight against cavities is to brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Brushing removes plaque and food particles from your teeth, which can lead to decay and cavities. It is important to brush for at least two minutes and to use a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid damaging your teeth and gums.

  1. Floss Daily

Flossing is another important step in fighting against cavities. Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline, where a toothbrush cannot reach. Flossing should be done at least once a day, and it is important to use proper technique to avoid damaging your gums.

  1. Use Mouthwash

Mouthwash can help to kill bacteria in your mouth that can lead to cavities. Look for a mouthwash that contains fluoride to help strengthen your teeth and prevent decay. It is important to use mouthwash as directed on the label, and to avoid swallowing it.

  1. Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods

Sugary and acidic foods can damage your teeth and lead to cavities. Try to limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, such as soda, candy, and fruit juices. If you do consume sugary or acidic foods, it is important to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water afterwards to help remove any remaining sugar or acid.

  1. Visit the Dentist Regularly

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are an important part of fighting against cavities. Your dentist can detect early signs of decay and cavities and provide treatment to prevent them from becoming more serious. Your dentist can also provide advice on how to maintain good oral health at home.

In addition to these steps, it is important to maintain good overall health by eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco products. By taking these steps, you can fight against cavities and maintain a healthy smile for years to come.

A white, beautiful smile is the most important feature of our appearance, which has become even more desirable with the arrival of spring. Tooth loss is a common problem in modern life, which men and women alike struggle with.

This ubiquitous and well-established phrase "Hollywood smile" was used by the American dentist Charles Pincus in the 20s of the last century, and it was at this time that the foundation of aesthetic dentistry in America was laid. The whitening procedure will be performed with the latest technology, safely, by a professional.
There is an opinion that the tooth whitening procedure significantly damages the enamel and increases sensitivity. This opinion is wrong. Modern teeth whitening procedures are completely safe for the patient's oral health. In this case, special importance is attached to the experience and professionalism of the dentist. A properly performed procedure will not damage your teeth and will give them an attractive, sharp shine.

There are 2 main methods of teeth whitening:

There is the so-called office whitening, which is carried out in the clinic, using the flash method. The procedure lasts about 1 hour, is painless (perhaps a slight discomfort) and it is possible to whiten up to 2-6 tones. After the teeth whitening procedure, follow the so-called "white diet" "During 2 weeks, it is recommended to refrain from colored food and drinks to give the pores of your teeth the necessary time to close and keep a beautiful, white smile for a long time. In particular, you should refrain from drinking black coffee and red wine. It is recommended to use a toothpaste with a whitening effect on teeth daily.

Home bleaching The so-called home bleaching is whitening with individual caps, when the patient uses the whitening gel at home according to the doctor's prescription.

Patients often think that professional teeth cleaning and teeth whitening are one and the same procedure. This view is wrong. During professional teeth cleaning, stones and food plaques are removed from the surface of the teeth. That is why, after the removal of stones and plaque, the natural color of the teeth returns and visually the smile becomes whiter and more charming than it was before the procedure.

With us, you can perform office whitening with the help of the highest quality American IBRITE LED WHITENING LIGHT device and WHITER IMAGE gel.
Only in the month of March, we offer office teeth whitening for just 400 GEL instead of 650 GEL!

Incorrect dentition causes discomfort to many people today. The problem not only affects aesthetics, but also threatens oral health, which is associated with pain and requires orthodontic treatment.

• The risk of gum diseases.
• The number of caries due to improperly maintained hygiene.
• The risk of early tooth loss.
• The risk of jaw-joint pain

The causes of these disorders are: bad habits, improper breathing and swallowing, genetics and other factors. Along with the growth process, the pathology of occlusion becomes more severe and therefore requires longer treatment.

What kind of children belong to the risk group?

Children who suck their fingers even after 5 years, and who have very little space between their baby teeth, because the permanent teeth are bigger and need more space to erupt.
problem detection
First of all, it is necessary to visit an orthodontist, who will decide what procedures are needed to determine the degree of malocclusion, it can be an X-ray or a plaster impression, these are impressions of the teeth made with plaster poured into a mold, which help to assess the problem.

Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, severity of the condition, and general health. The goal of treatment is to straighten teeth and improve your child's smile. Treatment is sometimes carried out in stages, depending on the extent of the malocclusion. It may include:
Attaching a special device, which will help the child get used to bad habits and allow his jaws and soft tissues to develop properly.
Tooth Extraction- Your baby's baby teeth may need to be removed to make room for permanent teeth. Some permanent teeth can also be removed.
Jaw surgery – In some cases, your child may need jaw surgery to correct the problem.
The most common method is treatment with wire braces. It is made mainly of wire and plastic. There are many types of braces, classic, ceramic, self-ligating, lingual braces, as well as micro-implants. All types of braces must be cleaned regularly. By cutting the wire from time to time, the orthodontist can gradually straighten the teeth over time.
