Gum as a mirror of our entire health?

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.

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 [...]

Parodontitis-usage of lasers–useful?

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.
