But much can be done for our oral health<\/strong> if we adopt healthy habits from childhood, such as restricting the consumption of sugary products and proper dental hygiene, which is the best way to prevent the onset of these diseases. It must be taken into account that infection in the teeth can spread to the rest of the organism causing different diseases in the heart, joints, lungs, neuritis, sinusitis, etc.<\/p>\n Adulthood is one of the key moments to prevent and take care of oral health and thus face old age without problems.<\/p>\n For a correct maintenance of your oral health we have to take into account several aspects related to 3 different sections: dental and oral hygiene, the food we eat, the annual visits we make to our dentist and the habits we have. Here we explain how each aspect influences your oral health and what you need to take into account<\/p>\n In this article <\/a>we explain how to brush your teeth, the types of bristles and how to use mouthwash and dental floss for proper dental cleaning.<\/p>\n Maintain a healthy and balanced diet, trying to reduce the intake of sugars and increase the intake of fruits. A healthy diet is synonymous with a healthy mouth<\/strong>. Calcium, vegetables and foods that provide proper chewing, such as apples. In this article<\/a> we have already explained the harmful foods. We should limit the consumption of foods that are harmful to oral health such as nougat, hard bread, etc. Also moderate the consumption of sugar and over-sweetened foods (candies, jams, etc.). According to several studies, when sugar consumption increases, there is an increase in tooth decay.<\/p>\n Limit the consumption of certain substances that can damage and yellow the enamel of your teeth, such as tobacco, wine, coffee, chocolate and vitamin complexes.<\/p>\n It is not enough to brush after every meal<\/strong>, the annual visit to the dentist is a rule that must be complied with to receive the professional care that our mouth needs. The accumulation of plaque due to ineffective dental hygiene and habits such as smoking or an inadequate diet must be removed by a dentist. An annual visit to the dentist will help you keep your mouth free of tartar or plaque, your gums healthy and free of inflammation, and your teeth safe from cavities or infections that can cause major problems, such as tooth loss.<\/p>\n In this aspect is when our clinics are among the most valued by patients, for having facilities<\/a> prepared for any oral and maxillofacial intervention and for having a medical staff<\/a> with more than 20 years of experience in dental treatments.<\/p>\n Book a<\/a> free visit today<\/a> we will perform a Premium Dental Study and a CT scan in order to diagnose any problem you may have.

<\/a>We are very clear that we must attend the annual gynecological check-up, that it is convenient to have a blood test every year or that we need to pay attention to our diet if we want to be healthy. But when it comes to our teeth, we rarely stop to think about whether we are giving them the proper attention.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Tobacco is an environmental factor that reduces the host response and facilitates the development of periodontal disease. One of the mechanisms by which tobacco favors its development seems to be the reduction of immune defenses against periodontal pathogens. The typical characteristic of tobacco-associated periodontal disease is the destruction of the supporting tissues of the teeth, with signs of bone loss, formation of periodontal pockets and occasionally tooth loss. Smoking increases the risk of periodontal disease by 5 to 20 times compared to the non-smoking population.<\/p>\n
