  • As we were advancing in previous lines, caries is a disease that progresses at great speed. It is characterized by the destruction of the tissues of the tooth that occurs as a consequence of the demineralization caused, in turn, by the acids generated by the bacterial plaque. Preventing it is possible with proper hygiene and an annual visit to the dentist.
  • Teeth misaligned Teeth separated, crowded, misplaced, in all these cases, carrying out proper hygiene becomes a complicated task, thus increasing the risk of caries and periodontal diseases. In addition, misaligned teeth can generate tension in the muscles causing headaches, neck, shoulders, and back. The solution? Orthodontics. They are fixed and removable. Your dentist will advise you on the most advisable option in your case.
  • This inflammation of the gums is often caused by poor hygiene and the symptoms manifest as red, inflamed and bleeding gums.

  • Caused by stress and bad postures, bruxism is the unconscious habit of clenching or grinding teeth, often during sleep hours. It is corrected using discharge splints that aim to reduce joint cracking.
  • Its causes can be several. On the one hand, it can be caused by poor hygiene and, on the other, it can have its origin in different diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis. To prevent halitosis it is fundamental to brush the teeth in depth, especially after each meal. If the problem persists, it is best to go to a specialist who can prescribe a treatment.

  • Loss of teeth In adulthood, after age 40, the teeth begin to age and, in some cases, may fall. The loss of dental pieces is treated by placing a prosthesis known as making dental crowns or making a dental implant.
