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-saliva test–useful?

Parodontitis-saliva test? Yes and no! The last article was about lasers, now we are talking about the next nonsense: the saliva test.

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.

Our topic in the last weeks was root canal treatment and its risks! (10/10) The last report showed three different pictures!

After a bridge was inserted, the patient complained of pain, and some weeks later, the dentist skipped performing root treatment in favor of root tip resection, in order to avoid damaging the bridge. Two years later, the tooth can no longer be saved, because this faulty treatment...

Teeth or implants held by more loose gum tissue are more prone to developing periodontitis, gingivitis and/or cavities. - So if there...
