The foundations of a healthy denture are built from the first years of a person’s life, a fact that unfortunately many parents are unaware of, at least according to the statistics in our country.

Despite awareness campaigns about the importance of good oral hygiene for children (paedodontics), surveys show that four out of five children do not brush their teeth daily, and four out of five teenagers have at least three decayed teeth by the age of 15.

These children will have to make many visits to the dentist and undergo treatments in adulthood, which they could have avoided if they had started taking care of their teeth early on.

Based on research, more than 2/3 of adults over 35 years old, suffer without knowing it from periodontitis, which in its initial form is expressed as gingivitis. In the progression of gingivitis, periodontitis, the inflammation is not only limited to the gums, but we also have destruction of the supporting bones, which, when it progresses, causes the teeth to initially wobble and eventually fall out.
Characteristics of periodontitis are:

• It affects 99% of people over the age of 35, everyone will go through this stage.
• It is the most devastating disease, as it is responsible for infinitely greater damage than tooth decay (broken teeth).
• It’s a slow disease, it doesn’t act quickly, it works for years.
• It does not give strong symptoms at first, such as severe pain, the bone is slowly and insidiously lost.
• The teeth seem to be getting longer, which is because the gums are pulling away.
• Patients are sensitive to hot and cold, as the roots are not protected by enamel and are therefore more sensitive.
• Gaps are created between the teeth, in which food is implanted and patients start using toothpicks.
• Another characteristic is bad breath. Bad breath is caused by the deep concentration of microbes, which cannot be removed by brushing.
• Another characteristic is root caries, due to the loss of bone and the infestation of the roots, which are not protected by enamel enamel.
• Periodontitis has no cure, that is, the bone that has been lost can only be preserved, and the disease can be frozen, that is, stopped.

The sole cause of periodontal disease is one: dental plaque, that is, microbes, which are either not removed properly by brushing or cannot be removed even though we brush properly, because they are trapped in the tartar-dental mass that only the Dentist – Periodontist can remove. Aggravating factors that affect the aggression, as well as the speed of spread of periodontal disease are:

• Heredity:

Periodontitis also has to do with our body’s defences. Some patients have weaker defence cells than others.

• Smoking:

The nicotine in cigarettes causes vasoconstriction, i.e. it clogs the blood vessels, making them smaller, thus weakening the body’s defences against germs.

• Angiopathy

• Stress

• Avitaminosis

• Fatigue

• Diabetes

The loss of one or more teeth can change our eating habits, speech, behaviour, appearance and thus negatively affect both our psychology and our self-confidence.

In addition, the loss of a tooth is a reason that can cause damage to the bone surrounding that root, even if that lost tooth is restored with a joint prosthesis (bridge) and over time the loss of bone in that area will increase.

Fortunately, in the last 30 years, dental implants (screw-in teeth) have been an excellent solution, as they replace not only the lost tooth but also the dental root. Dental implants, then, are a solid foundation for artificial teeth that not only look like our natural teeth but feel and function like them.

Place implants without hassle in our clinic!

After our specialized implantologist first determines that there is sufficient bone after a complete X-ray examination, the implants are placed under local anesthesia. The process is quick and within one appointment the “screw” is placed.

After placing the implant, the patient will have to wait about 2-5 months until the implant is integrated into the jawbone. This time may have a temporary recovery. After the necessary time has passed, the doctor will proceed to the second phase, the uncovering of the implant and the final impressions, in order to support the new, artificial tooth on the implant (screw teeth).

Keep your denervated teeth for many years

“I don’t want to lose my tooth, because I will lose it”

One perception that often prevails is that decayed teeth end up in extractions. A tooth that needs a root canal is a source of oral and jaw infection that can go into the systemic circulation. In order not to lose the teeth, they should be protected with the appropriate restoration, which our specialist will recommend for you individually! Direct reconstitution, epub or hoop (case) our doctors will work with you to find the ideal solution for your endodontic treatment.
