Cleaning
Dental cleaning, also called dental prophylaxis, is carried out to remove plaque and tartar that accumulates on the teeth over time. This accumulation of plaque and tartar builds up on the teeth. Plaque is a viscous substance with bacteria and food debris that is deposited on the margins of the gums and in the most retentive areas of the teeth.
Once plaque is formed, it cannot be removed by brushing.
Tartar is the solidification of dental plaque.
It is ideal to have your teeth cleaned once a year.
Dentures
The loss of teeth directly affects the digestive process, because it prevents food from being chewed properly. Among the reasons for which a person may be missing teeth include: Absence of permanent teeth, dental diseases (the most frequent are caries and periodontal diseases) blows and traumatisms, mechanical problems such as bruxism (clenching or grinding of teeth) which can lead to breakage or the need to extract teeth.
The first thing to do if any of these situations occur is to visit a specialist, as he/she is the best person that can guide us on the most appropriate treatment for us. A dental prosthesis allows the patient to re-establish both the dental function and the aesthetics of one or several very damaged teeth. There are different types of dental prostheses depending on the needs of the user.
For example, it will be different if only one tooth is damaged or if a complete denture is needed.
