Parodontitis-oral rinse-useful?

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 [...]

Extracting milk teeth

Should milk teeth be pulled or shouldn’t they?

Parents are not the only ones who ask themselves this questions, but quite a lot of dentists do as well!

Milk teeth are not only needed to chew and talk, but they also stimulate the growth of the jaw. But if parents do not teach their children proper dental care, it is sometimes necessary to remove milk teeth ahead of time.

This is necessary when:

the next tooth cannot come out (guided extraction)
there is a chronic infection, e.g. a fistula has formed at the tip of the root causing problems
the tooth has been so severely damaged by cavities that it can no longer fulfil its function as a placeholder.

Milk molars play a very important role in the development of a child’s jaw and should be kept intact until the first permanent molar (six) comes out. If the milk tooth in front of a permanent tooth has a filling, then it is crucial to run a thorough cavity check! – -
