Gum bleeding as a warning signal

Added on 27.05.2019

A child has bleeding gums
Surely, we all know this: after thoroughly brushing our teeth, we rinse out our mouths and suddenly discover a reddish discoloring in the rinsing water while it slowly but certainly makes its way towards the drain in a circular fashion. After a closer examination of the mouth, we determine that the source of this reddish discoloring is our irritated gum line and we quickly dismiss the event as a triviality. In many cases, this is not the best course of action since bleeding gums (especially those that keep bleeding over several days) are a definitive warning signal for a potentially more serious problem such as an inflammation inside the mouth.

A smile can be worth and can express more than any friendly word and is therefore one of our most effective means of communication. It is innate and normally emerges during the fourth week of a baby's life.

Tongue scraper helps combat bad breath

Added on 24.02.2019

Tongue scraper to clean your tongue
Nowadays, according to recent statistics, roughly 25% of the population living in the German-speaking realm suffer from bad breath. In some cases, bad breath is a result of gum inflammations such as periodontitis. Most frequently, however, the causes are malodorous sulfurs that develop as byproducts of the decomposition of food leftovers inside the mouth by bacteria. Since a large number of bacteria can accumulate on the tongue's surface in the form of a white film, the periodical and thorough cleaning of the tongue is recommended by an increasing number of dentists.

Don't forget to floss

Added on 10.02.2019

Young woman flossing
All of us want healthy teeth but what many of us forget is that frequent brushing by itself is not enough. Though the careful use of a toothbrush is an effective way to remove dental plaque, the bristles unfortunately only reach about 70% of any given tooth's surface area. The remaining 30% are located on the sides of teeth and since toothbrushes barely reach into embrasures (the spaces in between teeth), they do not effectively remove the pesky plaques that can accumulate in those places.

Added on 26.11.2018

Pregnant woman with a happy man
In Austria, people used to say ”every child costs a tooth“ and though this is nowadays no longer literally true, it is absolutely essential for future mothers to take extra good care of their teeth while they are expecting.
