Healthy teeth and longevity

Teeth and flossing have become the elements of research on longevity. This test was developed by the geriatricians and neuropsychologists who worked on the factors affecting longevity. The researchers concluded that healthy teeth are an important element that has an impact on life expectancy. Dentists in Poland tell us that gum disease and periodontitis, resulting mainly from a poor oral hygiene, such as avoiding brushing and flossing, can evidently reduce the time a human stays in this world.

 

Antibacterial coffee is good for your teeth

Coffee is one of those drinks, after which we can forget that we had white teeth - because coffee darkens the color of the enamel. For this reason, coffee was on the black list of dentists in Poland. Recent studies have shown that in addition to this drawback, however, coffee has a lot of advantages, including those that may reduce the susceptibility to decay. This is due to antibacterial properties - detected in coffee Congo, known as robusta. 

The Congo coffee contains a lot of antioxidants, making the production of biofilm difficult - a difficult to fight with cluster of bacteria living in the mouth, which leads is caries. The bacterial coating is being broken down and washed away with polyphenols. To ensure the beneficial effects of robusta, you need to drink it black, fairly quickly and without sugar. Keeping coffee in the mouth will make the enamel lose its bright color and you will need teeth whitening in Poland. 

All about flossing

Flossing is cleaning teeth with dental floss. It is a procedure which assists brushing teeth (you either  floss your teeth before or after brushing).

Children under 10 years old should not floss their teeth.

How to use dental floss: 

Use a thread of the length of 30-40 cm,

Wrap it around the pointing or middle finger

Hold it with your thumbs,

slide between the teeth,

perform vertical movements, up and down (horizontal movements can irritate the gum),

insert the thread below the gum line.

Be careful not to irritate your gums. 

Dentists inPoland say that at the beginning of the use of dental floss may appear pain or bleeding after a few days it should give way.

The importance of toothbrushes

Oral hygiene is one of the most important factors determining the health of our teeth and gums. Each of us must match the brush to the condition of their teeth and gums, dentists in Poland tell us.

 

Choosing the right brush is very important. For soft bristles should opt those with inflammatory gum, hard should be chosen, if we tend to form tartar. 

 

Those without these problems should use the medium-hard brush, with the artificial hairs of a length of 3 to 5 cm. The tool for cleaning teeth should have a comfortable handle, so it is easy to use. Everything else, for example. a movable head, the shape, or the difference between the length of the bristles on the sides and in the middle of the brush are rather advertising slogans, having no special meaning to our oral health. 

 

Recently popular are becoming electric toothbrushes. Some people make your work easier, but many dentists believe that washing using a manual toothbrush is more careful and more accurate.

 

 

Vegetarianism is unhealthy for teeth

Dentistsin Poland tell us that healthy teeth can be provided only by a well-balanced diet. And the mistakes made when choosing a meatless diet can pose a serious threat to the health of the entire oral cavity. Dentists stress that a vegetarian diet does not provide the body with all essential nutrients (including vitamin. B12, B2, D), and calcium and other minerals are poorly absorbed and does not meet the requirements of the organism. To avoid malocclusion you need to include vitamin and minerals. The lack of vitamin D leads to the development of periodontal disease, weakening of the bone structure and the development of caries.

5 steps to beautiful teeth

Dentists in Poland tell us that you do not need a lot of effort to have beautiful white teeth that you are proud of and that are a healthy part of our bodies. It's enough to spend about 10 - 15 minutes a day to properly and carefully carry out hygienic procedures in the oral cavity, and once every few months, take the trouble to see the dentist in Poland for a review of teeth. 

Here are the steps to success, which is a healthy, beautiful smile: 

Use toothpicks to remove residual food debris between the teeth. It should be done carefully so as not to damage the gums. Do not attempt to force the push toothpicks in interdental gaps, but gentle movements to remove residues away from the gum to the crown of the tooth. 

Rinse with mouthwash, which softens and helps remove sediment raid with enamel. 

Brushing and flossing - on a dry, soft brush we put toothpaste and gently wash teeth. Do not scrub them too hard, because you can cause damage to the enamel or gums, which can cause inflammation of periodontal tissues. Do not move the brush along the line of teeth, but use scavenging moves away from the gum towards the crown of the tooth. Flossing removes sediment from hard to reach crevices and corners of the teeth. 

Rinse after brushing - it is a very important element of hygiene. The mouthwash removes pollutants clean between your teeth and freshens the inside of the mouth. 

Control of a dentist - at least once every six months, and if you notice disturbing changes in the enamel - as soon as possible.
