Prevention

Program to keep your teeth and gums healthy

Prevention in Dental Health

The accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth is the main cause of tooth problems: caries, gum disease and halitosis.

Our main objective will be to avoid this accumulation.

Preventive Program:

To achieve this, we must follow a preventive program consisting of:

-Mechanical methods: These include manual or electric toothbrushes and dental floss or interdental brushes.

-Chemical methods: The use of mouthwashes, gels, sprays… are co-helpers to mechanical methods to control bacterial plaque.

Periodic check-ups are essential: they are performed by the Platón Dental team, thus verifying the health situation and being able to take measures in anticipation of the advance of bone loss, gum recession and dental mobility.

The periodicity will depend on each patient but will range from 3 to 12 months.

Prevention of gum problems

Periodontitis is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adulthood. The main cause of this disease is the accumulation of dental plaque.

It is scientifically proven that if we avoid or remove this plaque periodically, the progression of the loss of supporting tissue of the teeth is prevented.

Prevention of dental problems

The preventive program also has an impact on caries. One of the most prevalent oral health problems.

The routine application of a gel with fluoride concentrate increases dental mineralization and reduces the risk of caries. It also helps to remineralize the enamel at all times of life.

By complying with this preventive program, our patients can enjoy their teeth for many years, saving them from later problems and discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

A toothbrush should not be too large to be able to access all areas of the mouth.

The bristles should be made of nylon of intermediate consistency so as not to damage the gums. The use of the same brush over a long period of time may decrease the cleaning efficiency.

The use of electric toothbrushes with round brush heads with oscillating rotation can facilitate hygiene on certain occasions.

Contact us and we will advise you.

We should brush after every meal. However, even if you believe that your gums and teeth are healthy, it is necessary to have regular check-ups so that we can verify the health situation and take measures in time to save you discomfort and problems.

Periodontitis is an infection caused by bacteria and as such can be contagious.

However, scientific studies have shown that people who live with a periodontal patient for years are more likely to develop the disease.

The most likely relatives would be children and stable partners, through saliva transmission.

No change in daily habits is recommended, however, a check-up is recommended to rule out any possible early affectations.

The best way to prevent periodontitis is to maintain a correct oral hygiene, but in people with high predisposition, in many occasions a correct hygiene is not enough, it must be accompanied by periodic revisions by our clinical team, for an early diagnosis in case of occurrence.

We now have diagnostic tests that show whether healthy patients are at increased risk for periodontal disease.

It consists of the detection of a genetic alteration of a substance called interleukin. However, the negative result does not mean that periodontitis may develop in other stages of life, although it does mean a higher risk.

Thus, it is important to develop preventive programs in this type of patients.
