More about teeth whitening

A beautiful smile is more and more important during business- depending on the dental appearance you may gain a new job or get excluded from circle of candidates. The best for the superficial self-assessment of your teeth is a mirror in your own bathroom. However, your dentist in Poland always decides about what you need to do to have a perfect smile. Healthy teeth need only a few things: daily and thoroughly cleaning preferably after every meal, a balanced diet and regular visits to the dentist abroad. Teeth whitening is recommended but in moderation.

The natural color of teeth is not the perfect white. Healthiest teeth are similar to the color of ivory - they are respectively highly saturated with minerals, and thus they possess strength and resistance to decay. You should be worried with discolouration of your teeth. The discolouration that appeared under the influence of the excessive consumption of stimulants: coffee or tea, or smoking, can be easily removed using a bleaching paste that usually contains silica. Silica purifies the enamel without damaging its structure. You should avoid pastes with abrasive particles of diamond and other substances causing friction. These additives are much harder than the enamel and lead to tooth mineral structure damage. Teeth treated with such pastes are becoming thinner and easier to fracture and prone to crashing. Teeth can be also brushed from time to time with a toothbrush with baking soda.
Before using stronger bleaching preparations, such as gels used for night, it is necessary to consult a dentist. Before the dentist recommends teeth whitening in Poland, she/he will perform  dental treatment and eliminate periodontal inflammation.

Teeth whitening should not be performed too often - it can weaken the enamel, and even lead to yellowing of teeth. This applies both to professional and home methods of whitening.

When your dentist asks about sex...

A visit to a dentist abroad can involve not only dental treatment in Poland, but also a talk with the patient about his/her habits and sexual preferences. This can happen to patients who visit their dentist in the UK. Dentists working in the UK were asked by the Department of Health to be more engaged in the fight against cancer. Oral cavity cancer happens more and more often to patients from Great Britain: in 2009 more than six thousand such cases were reported but it is estimated that by 2030 this number would increase to more than 9 thousand. The involvement and commitment of the dentist should be manifested in the form of an interview with the patient, during which the doctor would ask about the diet, oral hygiene, and whether the patient is having sex especially oral sex, and if so, with how many partners and how often.

HPV virus is responsable for the development of the oral cavity cancer. It moves mainly through sexual intercourse but not only- the researchers found out that oral sex also increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the mouth, especially in case of contacts with multiple partners.

The prevention of the oral cavity cancer is extremely important because such cancer is particularly difficult to diagnose, and its treatment is not always successful. Therefore, patients should pay special attention to any changes in the oral cavity which do not want to heal.

To ease the tooth pain

Toothache makes a patient visit a dentist in Poland. The idea of having a dental procedure performed still causes fear of the dental office in case of many people, even though it allows to get rid of the pain. Pain is a subjective phenomenon - everyone has a different sensitivity to pain, each individual responds to specific pain stimuli. That's not all: the same person can feel the pain of the same intensity and the same type differently on different days or times of the day - depending on your mental and physical state. The research shows that pain during dental treatment abroad can be reduced by:

- performing dental treatment late in the afternoon - we are less likely to feel pain stimuli then;

- the use of hypnosis and autosuggestion - in hypnosis you have to deal with the phenomenon of the so-called gates control, which manages to significantly reduce the activity of neurons

linking the pain with something unpleasant; autosuggestion allows us to divert attention from the unpleasant and promotes a positive attitude towards the treatment, which causes an equally positive response from the nerve tissue;

- focusing on something other than the pain and the performed surgery - a distraction from the unpleasant stimulus is sometimes just as effective as the use of painkillers, the ideal solution is to either listen to an interesting dentist speaking, or listen to music or watch movies during the surgery. You can also try to think intensively about a wonderful holiday and a successful first date;

- causing pain or unpleasant sensations in other parts of the body the those which are subject to the treatment, for instance clenching fists.

Dentists in Poland provide employment

Dentistry abroad, even in difficult times, underpins the economy - the field is growing nicely and gives employment to many people also unrelated to the dental treatment branch. Dentists in Poland employ specialists such as marketers, decorators, and even florists. A job for such professionals is offered primarily in dental clinics that have lots of patients, but also small offices are increasingly choosing to employ specialists or improving the company's image.

Due to the ever-growing popularity of dental tourism, clinics also employ customer service professionals, travel agnts, activity guides and translators.

Due to the fact that the dental industry, is subject to the law of the market, the proper management of the clinic is necessary as well as the properly organized staff and financial management of the company. For this reason, dental offices and clinics tend to employ more and more managers and directors. A manager organizes most of the office matters, takes care of  finances and marketing, and is responsible for personnel policy. 

Offices also use the support of PR specialists, spokespersons and professionals such as massage therapist, a psychologist, educator. Thanks to this, in some offices, patients with panic anxiety can talk with a psychologist before the surgery in order to calm down and feel relaxed.

Mona Lisa without teeth?

Does Mona Lisa from the famous painting of Leonardo da Vinci smile gently because she knows a hidden secret unknown to us, or becasue she did not have teeth? For years scientists has been wondering about the mysteries of Leonardo's genius. Mona Lisa's Smile seems to us intriguing, some argue, however, that the great model's smile could not be different beacause her teeth may have been damaged or she did not have all the teeth.

At the beginning of the sixteenth century, when da Vinci painted his most famous painting, oral hygiene was not properly taken care of by the people of those times. Tooth decay - although present in humans' life for millions of years - started to be classified as a dental disease only in Leonardo's times. Renaissance models posing for paintings probably did not want their descendants to know that their teeth deprived the of beauty or that their teeth were usally completly or partly extracted. The fresh breath of the models was for sure also abad experience. It is not surprise that the paintings from the Renaissance and earlier present weak smiles, which are discreet and intriguing rather than broad with all its glory.

Even though it was in the Renaissance that many discoveries and inventions were created which allowed for oral health care (the Chinese invented the toothbrush and amalgam fillings), it may be that Mona Lisa had no luck to keep a beautiful smile at the time when she was painted by Leonardo.

Take care of propoer oral hygiene and visit your dentist in Poland.
