Cariesology
DENTAL PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
Caries is a contagious disease and requires timely diagnosis to avoid complex and expensive treatments. Thanks to modern technologies at Provydent Dental Clinic, we can detect and neutralize the problem at an early stage, before the tooth structure is destroyed.
Early stop without a machine: In the initial stage, we apply remineralization therapy, which stops the process and keeps the tooth intact.
Minimally invasive approach: If treatment is unavoidable, we work using the methods of microinvasive dentistry – we remove only the affected tissue and preserve as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible.
Prevention from the first tooth: We believe that proper prevention, started in childhood, is the surest guarantee for a healthy smile in the future.
Flossing:
The secret to impeccable oral health
The Secret of Flawless Oral Health: Flossing. A toothbrush only reaches 60% of tooth surfaces; the remaining 40% lies in interdental spaces where plaque accumulates. Flossing prevents tartar, hidden cavities, gum inflammation, and bad breath.
Choosing the Right Thread: Waxed threads are ideal for beginners, while flavored threads offer a fresh taste. There are also specialized threads for bridges, braces, or interdental brushes.
Flossing Technique: Prepare about 40 cm of thread, stretch it between index fingers, gently slide it between teeth in a "C" shape, and clean slightly below the gum line. If the thread breaks, it may signal an inaccurate filling or crown that needs fixing.
Common Myths: Flossing is not just for food residues but for removing the invisible film of bacteria (plaque). Just 2 minutes of flossing every evening is your best insurance against future dental problems.
