The main problem of removable onlays - they provoke the development of caries. Using universal plates, it is impossible to ensure a tight fit to the gum. Bits of food get stuck under the edges, providing bacteria with a breeding ground. It is difficult to notice decay, because it is masked by the onlay. The tooth can rot away completely while attention is paid to it.

Advertising claims: If you buy veneers from a drugstore, you can avoid spending money on expensive preparatory procedures. But such procedures are necessary for dental problems. Plaque needs to be removed, decay needs to be treated, otherwise you can quickly be left without teeth. Removable onlays mask missing teethThat's right, you can't see the hole.

Gingivitis

The dental term for inflammation of the gums that does not affect the ligaments and does not destroy the bone is gingivitis. Treatment of the disease is not difficult, but if it is neglected, the inflammation will move to the ligamentous apparatus and begin to destroy the bone. This is already periodontitis - the main complication of gingivitis. Therefore, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of the disease in order to take measures in time and prevent complications.

Causes of the disease

The inflammatory process in the gums provokes bacteria. After each meal, the enamel is covered with a microfilm - pellicle. Unlike smooth enamel, pellicle is porous. Bacteria begin to settle on the film. Some of them are washed off with saliva and brushed off with a toothbrush. But it is impossible to completely remove plaque with a toothbrush.

How to brush your teeth properly

Dentists never tire of emphasizing how important it is to brush your teeth properly and do it regularly. In the oral cavity of every person lives a huge number of bacteria. The most active fluid in the body, saliva, neutralizes their action, but it is not able to destroy the bio-threat on its own. Brushing comes to the rescue.

We brush our teeth to remove from the enamel its main enemy - a biofilm of bacteria (plaque). Biofilm settles on your teeth after every meal. Sticky food fragments, mainly carbohydrates and sugar, help it do this. Layer by layer, the bacteria build up on the surface, producing acids.

Gradually, these acids eat away at the enamel and penetrate the tooth. This is how tooth decay, the most common dental disease, occurs.

If plaque is not removed, it builds up, hardens and becomes tartar. Then it gets under the gum, causing inflammation of the tissue around the tooth. This is periodontitis, the second most common oral disease. 자세히 보기

Implant life span

Implantation is the replacement of a natural tooth with an artificial root, an implant. It is the only way to restore a tooth row that fulfills all the functions of natural teeth. Such treatment is expensive, so many patients are concerned with the question: what is the service life of dental implants?

There is no unambiguous answer, because the duration of use is influenced by a lot of factors. First of all, it should be understood that an implant is a product that consists of several parts.
