Sweets
Sweets are foods with increased carious risk , especially sticky ones, such as toffees, jellies.
In short, the microorganisms in the mouth feed on sugar, then produce acids that attack tooth structure.
Consumption of sweets should be reduced as much possible.
Oral hygiene
Oral hygiene is important to take at least 3 minutes. Brushing in the morning, after meals and at bedtime.
Chewing gum can not replace a correct brushing.
It is advisable to use a soft brush, which is replaced every 3-4 months. Studies show that powered toothbrushes with circular motion and oscillations are more efficient than other classical or electric toothbrushes.
Brushing is done by placing the brush at 45 degree angle to the meeting between the tooth and gum. Brush is held firmly and makes circular motions from the gum to tooth. (From red to white) Also you need to brush all tooth surfaces, the surface of the tongue and cheeks. Deposits on the tongue cause bad breath and is a medium for bacterial growth.
There are substances called plaque revealing, periodic examinations for dental plaque are necessary, to be sure that all tooth surfaces are well cleaned.
The dental water jet is an electronical device that plays a very important role in oral hygiene, especialy for pacients that have orthodontic appliances, prosthetic works and dental implants.
Flossing
Along with brushing teeth, flossing protects us from cavities between adjacent teeth where brushing can not reach.
Using once a day is enought:
– wrapped between fingers
– a plastic device that fits floss
The floss easily penetrates between teeth to the gum around each tooth is moved several times, removing plaque.
Flossing may at first seem difficult, but if you insist, you will shortly see major improvements in the technique.

Mouthwash
Mouthwash has an antibacterial effect, is used to complete oral hygiene with dental floss and brush at 10 minutes after brushing teeth.It is also recommended for gum disease (gingivitis, periodontitis) in these situations is mandatory, with professional cleaning and scaling.
Nutrition
– Eat many types of foods, especially whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and foods low in fat and salt. Good nutrition is essential for developing children and adults to maintain healthy gums and avoid tooth decay.
– Cheese, nuts, yogurt, milk
– Avoid foods that contain sugar, especially sticky sweets, and raisins.
– Avoid sweetened juices
– Avoid snacks between meals
– No snacks before bedtime
Chewing gum
Chewing gum is recommended for dental hygiene provided it does not contain sugar.
Chewing them for 10 minutes after a meal is beneficial.The effect is mechanical and stimulates production of saliva, which neutralizes acids present in the mouth after every meal, saliva also contains minerals that are deposited on the enamel.
Fluoride
Fluoride is a naturally found in tooth enamel. Fluoridation is the amount of fluoridesupplementation in the body, is to prevent cavities and reduce the evolution of existingcaries.World Health Organization supports the effectiveness of fluoride supplements in caries prevention.
Fluoridation Indications :
– Children and adults to prevent decay
– Conditions that increase risk of developing cavities, such as dry mouth or gum disease.
– Patients with dental restorations or orthodontic appliances.
When administered under expert supervision, fluoride is a safe supplement for the body. But an overdose can have toxic effects.
Treatment with fluoride may be indicated for mothers to prevent caries in children .This treatment in the form of tablets can continue daily until the child reaches the age of 11 to 12 years.
Toothache
The pulp is placed inside the tooth, it is covered with a layer of dentin and then a layer of hard enamel, which is rich in minerals. Dental pain can occur even if only the layer of enamel is damaged and dentin is exposed.The most common causes of toothache are:– Dental Caries
– Large fillings
– Cracked teeth
– Dental InjuriesIt is important to go the dentist when dental pain occurs, so that it will find the cause and appropriate treatment to stop the destructive long-term evolution.
Dental accidents
In the event of a dental accident, go as soon as possible to the dentist.Children are usually the most exposed to this type of accident, their active nature ,predisposes them to situations that may fracture teeth, expel or may move and infect.
Teeth accidennts may occur at any time, playing in the yard, during sports activities,trips, hiking.
If after tooth injury the tooth was expeled, it should be kept in cold milk or inside the mouth until you reach the dentist.
After all dental accidents, periodic monitoring is required because these teeth are prone to discoloration, necrosis and infection.
To prevent various dental problems deriving from accidents, wear special trays that protect teeth during sports activities, or any time there is a risk in this respect.
