How to freshen your breath through diet?

Bad breath can be eliminated not only by mouth rinses, but by eating the right food as well. A well-chosen diet reduces and removes plaque bacteria accumulate in the mouth. Dentists in Poland say that the diet for fresh breath should include: 

·         Yogurt - necessarily those without sugar; they eliminate the odor of hydrogen sulfide and reduce the amount of plaque; also prevent gingivitis and provide calcium needed to strengthen the enamel; 

·         pineapples - to cleanse the inside of the mouth with the content of bromelain, an enzyme protein shear having a strong anti-inflammatory properties; 

·         cranberries - reduces the growth of bacteria and provide a lot of vitamin C; 

·         all sorts of vegetables, preferably fresh and crunchy – biting them stimulates saliva, which promotes self-cleaning the inside of the mouth and neutralizing harmful acids.

Implants - contraindications and complications

Contraindications: 

·        poor general health of the patient,

·        unhealed teeth

·        periodontal disease or mucosa,

·        inadequate in terms of quality and quantity of alveolar bone, which prevents implant placement (bone formation is possible to the extent where there will be problems with the implant),

·        poor oral hygiene,

·        tumors,

·        AIDS,

·        osteoporosis and other rheumatic diseases,

·        hypertension,

·        diabetes,

·        mental illness,

·        allergies,

·        addictions: alcohol, cigarettes, drugs,

·        certain medications (eg steroids). 

Dentists in Poland tell us that implant treatment does not apply to patients under 16 years of age, because of their bone development still continues. It is also not recommended to use implants for the treatment of persons over 65 years of age. 

When tooth loss occurs we also loses the alveolar bone. This process may be inhibited only by implanting implants in Poland. Often, however, patients do not know this and so when they decide on implant treatment, they face the problem of too little bone, preventing the establishment of the implant. In such cases, the bone is regenerated using bone grafts from other parts of the body or via the special preparations that stimulate bone growth.

Factors of decay - the disease of civilization

One of the diseases of today;s civilization is decay. Its etiology is extremely complex. The appearance of dental caries and its course depends on a number of factors:

created by an individual - for example:

·        lifestyle

·        natural factors

·        systematic oral hygiene

·        dental prophylaxis compliance with guidelines

or macro-systemic: socio-economic, political, cultural, organizational.

The resultant of these factors creates an accurate picture of the disease - in relation to individuals or to populations. In the case of units the dental health status depends on both types of factors: individual and systemic.

The activities of dentists in Poland has, according to the results of studies, a relatively small impact on the behavior of dental health; it is estimated that only 15% of dental health is dependent on medical intervention. The dentists themselves only to a small extent, can improve the health of the chewing apparatus, if there is a lack of interest on the part of patients. Because the improvement in dental health depends on the patient himself.
