How to keep your teeth healthy?

The key to healthy teeth is proper maintenance. Dentists in Poland know that calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus are important for healthy teeth and gums in children as well as adults.

Calcium makes the jaw bones healthy and strong in order to hold your teeth in place. Calcium combined with phosphorus maximizes the bone strengthening benefits. Children need to take a lot of calcium in childhood to have strong teeth in the future.

Vitamin D on the other hand regulates the balance of calcium and phosphorus in your organism. It can also help to decrease inflammation of gums occurring during gum disease.

Here are the foods that contain calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus:

Calcium if found in: dairy products, brown rice, oranges, cabbage, beans, broccoli, salmon, peas.

Vitamin D in: sunlight, dairy products, eggs, some cereals, oily fish

Phosphorus is found in: cereals, wheat germ, soya beans, almonds and other nuts, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, grapes, citrus fruit, cucumbers, tomatoes.

Remember, dental treatment abroad is advanced and professional, so make an appointment straight away!

All about Veneers

If you’re looking for a perfect smile, look no further - veneers are your answer! Veneers cover your natural teeth and produce a bright, beautiful smile. Veneers correct different cosmetic problems, from discolored teeth, through crooked teeth to gaps. For advanced cosmetic dentistry in Poland veneers are nothing new and our dentists are true specialists!

Dental veneers are very thin shells made from tooth-like material designed to cover the front surface of teeth. veneers can be made of porcelain or resin composite materials. Most today are made of porcelain to resist stains and so that the teeth shine similarly to natural teeth. The veneers are placed on top of the teeth, hiding imperfections but also to change the size, shape or length of teeth.

For veneer treatment you will need 3 visits. At your first visit, the dentist will decide if you qualify for treatment. On the second visit, a small amount of enamel will be taken to make room for the veneer.  Then teh dentist takes an impression and sends it to a dental lab where the veneers are done. During your third visit, your dentist will attach the veneers to your teeth. Veneers can also conceal chipps, cracks, or uneven teeth. If your teeth are resistant to whitening, veneers will work for you. However you must have healthy teeth to have veneers.

If used with proper care, veneers in Poland can last 10 years or even longer. But remember that veneers are delicate. To minimize the chance of anything bad happening, avoid biting your nails and chewing on hard objects. Regular dental checkups will also help ensure that your veneers stay strong and beautiful.
