Prophylaxis and treatment

People of different age – children and adults suffer from dental caries. Caries, if untreated can lead to loss of teeth and can cause many serious illnesses. The main cause of caries is the activity of harmful bacteria, bad diet or mouth hygiene negligence.

First symptoms of caries are: pain, teeth sensitiveness, discolouration of the enamel. In such cases you should consult a dentist as soon as possible. Treatment undertaken at an early stage can be almost pain free.

First stages of caries are treated by remineralization, fluoring and so called sealing – application of special protective substance on the enamel. Fillings used in our clinics are made of light curing composites, which makes them practically invisible, their colour matches the natural teeth colour.

The most important in caries and paradontal diseases prophylaxis is correct mouth hygiene. We should remember that mere teeth brushing with a tooth brush, tooth paste and flossing is not enough to keep you teeth healthy. It is necessary to undergo a professional mouth hygiene procedure regularly. During such a procedure a hygienist professionally cleans your teeth. With the use of ultrasound, plaque and scale are removed from your teeth. Then, to clean the teeth even more thoroughly, sanding is performed. The last stage of the procedure is polishing. After such a procedure teeth stay smooth, bright and shiny for a long time.
