Teeth all the questions we dare not ask the dentist

Buy his toothpaste pharmacy, is it really worth it?
Beyond a certain concentration of fluoride toothpaste can be sold in pharmacies. And
the type of fluorine can be different: there are formulas in pharmacy flurorure amine (Olafluor), which would be more effective and better protect against cavities.

But most of those found in the
trade are quality products. A good toothpaste contains foaming agents, silica or

sodium bicarbonate to facilitate the removal of dental plaque and fluoride to strengthen enamel. If decay resumed with an amalgam, is that I have a bad dentist?
Not necessarily ...

In fact, the junction zone between the amalgam ("sealing") and the tooth is very conducive to
bacterial infiltration. So it should be cleaned thoroughly. Even on a dead tooth (we removed the "nerve", that is to say the pulp), decay can be formed.
It cleans teeth better with a hard brush?
No, it uses the teeth and gums abyss, unlike a soft brush with synthetic bristles,
rounding.

Moreover, it does not reach the gaps, or areas where food waste accumulate.
Another bad idea: clean his teeth with lemon. They seem to clean because they are white: in reality they were demineralized by acid juices!
Can you use an interdental brush of any age?
This accessory is used to clean between the teeth, which enlarge with time under the effect of periodontal disease (gingivitis ...).


In a child, these spaces are narrow: so do not use brushes, because it can damage the gums. Only possible method: Move the floss. As for the toothpicks, whatever age, should be avoided.
Is it possible to use an electric toothbrush when you have sensitive gums?
At the same time, it removes 2.5 times more plaque than manual brushing.

During the first
days of use, sometimes gums bleed. Often because people used their
manual brush continue to press too. If this bleeding persists, go see his dentist. During
some time, then you can return to the manual brush, choosing a model with very soft bristles more
adapted to gingivitis and periodontitis (inflammation of the supporting tissue).

When the gums are less sensitive, we can switch back to power brushing, avoiding excessive pressure.
Can you put a tooth extraction without pivot?
A tooth pivot replaces the visible part of which is very bumpy. It is fixed with a pin (or
tenon) anchored in the root canal.

The dentist retrieves not the tooth, since it needs from its root. It
are two techniques: one can either fix a pivot secured to the crown (Richmond) is a peg on which
we then seal the crown (inlaycore more common). If the root is non-existent or in poor condition, the implant
is the only solution.

It is an artificial root made of titanium, integrated directly into the bone.
Why do they bridge worse over time?
Once in the mouth, a bridge is not supposed to move. Unless one of the teeth for supporting this
caries or itself becomes mobile. In contrast, removable appliances (or dentures) may,
over time, be less suitable, because bone loss occurs in the jaws.


It is said that orthodontic treatment stain teeth ... Really?
Not since the glues that hold the rings are enriched in fluorine and protect the tooth. But many teens have poor hygiene. Result, foods are locked around the bushes and attack the enamel, causing patches of demineralization.

Important point: it is not because we had been asked that a device is conducted annually by a visit to the dentist. Certainly, the orthodontist can detect cavities, but their treatment is not within its purview.
Is that too frequent cleanings can damage the gums?
On the contrary! Scaling removes tartar, responsible for gum disease and periodontal.

It serves
So to prevent these diseases and they cause heaving.
Sometimes it bleeds for scaling, because the congestion of tartar gives your gums. This treatment modifies slightly the color of teeth by removing the dirt outside.
Nothing to do with clarification peroxide (bleaching), designed to change the color of the tooth by oxidation of the pigments.
