Gum as a mirror of our entire health?

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 29 - 2010

Gum as a mirror of our entire health?

YES AND NO!

Again and again you read scientific and non scientific articles about vitamin deficiency and it´s consequences. As a result some people take homeopathic medicine-a mistake most of the time!

-

99% of gum diseases are attributed to plaque and not to a vitamin deficiency -in industrial countries!
-

Women can have problems with their hormone status, which can modulatory have effect on the gum health. Ignore this factor if your oral hygiene is good. Gum diseases often lead to parodontitis if untreated. This local chronic inflammation have a negativ effect on the whole system, the body.

The results may be worsening of glucose monitoring for diabetics, joint inflammations and premature birth for pregnant women. Parodontitis may be a contributory cause of arteriosclerosis. Patients who tend to thrombosis may have a higher risk on a bacteria aggravation and consequently inflammation.

Most reasons of parodontitis

The most reasons of parodontitis are:

  • Plaque based on bad oral hygiene
  • Plaque based on overlying crowns / bridge edges
  • Plaque based on tooth displacement
  • Plaque based on leak fillings

Fortunately all these factors are treatable / modifable:

  • optimise your tooth brushing by starting at the back on the difficult accessible teeth.
  • use an oral rinse
  • use plaque tablets
  • correct tooth displacement by using braces
  • seek a faithful dentist!

Parodontitis-oral rinse-useful?

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 27 - 2010

 Is an oral rinse useful for parodontitis?

YES!

An oral rinse is a useful purchase, unfortunately some doctors think it is not useful-with the argument that bacteria rinse into pockets. That´s nonsense, cause first of all bacteria only move due to extensions and second bacteria are harmless at their own. Bacteria only cause parodontitis and/or cavity in the mature plaque. 

You only remove plaque with the tooth brush above the gum, with the oral rinse also in the sulcus.

In the first few days the gum can hurt and bleed readily-don´t stop, but continue! That is a sign of gum inflammation. The oral rinse stops the inflammation and the bleeding! Don´t be afraid if the teeth seam “longer”, that is because the gum is swollen due to the inflammation, the swelling will be gone after the inflammation is eased.

Parodontitis-saliva test–useful?

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 26 - 2010

Parodontitis-saliva test?

Yes and no!

The last article was about lasers, now we are talking about the next nonsense: the saliva test.

It happens again and again that patients who suffer from parodontitis undergo a saliva test at the begin of the therapy.

Gratulations! Now you know that you have bacteria in your mouth!

If you had no bacteria you´d have no parodontitis-you see the advantage of this expensive diagnostics.

A saliva test is only useful after an unsuccessful, conseravtive periodontal therapy. Only after you are unsuccessful periodontally treated, a saliva test is useful to find germs.

Serious periodontists refer to these relations.

Parodontitis-usage of lasers–useful?

Posted by Dental News Team On April - 23 - 2010

Parodontitis-usage of lasers–useful?

 Unfortunately parodontitis is still treated with lasers although it is proven unsuccessful.

The usage of lasers is futuristic- probably that is why patients are more willing to pay. Non-serious doctors take advantage of this circumstance, aside there are ignorant doctors as well.
-

Either way the usage of lasers is not useful for you, even harmful. The laser light roughens the dental root and consequently the apposition of concrement is simplified. Bacteria are killed, though recreated very fast-a removal gets more difficult because of a rough root surface.

 -

Moreover no lasers are used (picture), but halogen lamps-welcome misleading!
