Preventive dentistry is the one in charge of analyzing the health level of the patient's mouth to anticipate possible oral diseases.
Some recommendations that dentists consider important are:
- The application of fluoride in the doses recommended by the manufacturer of each product.
- The recurrent use of toothpaste in each tooth wash.
- Observing the amounts of fluoride used in children. Although children's toothpastes usually contain less fluoride to minimize the risks if ingested.
- The consumption of green tea is recommended since it has antibacterial activity and numerous properties in addition to its antioxidant power.
- Check the intake of sugars and substances with high cariogenic potential.
- Reduce the consumption of sticky products such as gum with sugar or sugary candies since they further increase the risk of cavities.
The patient must maintain adequate oral hygiene by following these tips, but if necessary, there are non-invasive treatments such as seals of pits and fissures, especially suitable for children.
Above all, we recommend regular tooth and mouth brushing and an annual visit to the dental clinic to prevent possible hygiene problems., tooth decay in an early stage, etc.
