Phobia for attending the consultation of the dentist is no exception to this, those suffering from this disorder feel unable to control this feeling and try, by all means possible to avoid that which will cause dizziness, body weakness, sweating, tachycardia and digestive problems , as in this case to go to the dentist.

Why do we suffer from dental phobia?
Among the most common causes are: Having experienced a traumatic event in childhood, fear of contagious diseases, unpleasant feeling to see blood, fear of injections and panic at the prospect of a tooth extraction. As a result avoid or delay for years the dental visit, greatly increasing their risk of dental disease increasingly complicated.

Once diagnosed phobia of the dentist is necessary to involve the patient-specific therapy groups, allowing you to express your fears, and slowly progressive face it, to overcome this irrational fear. Unlike many other phobias, it is possible to reverse it soon, ask for help from a specialist is the first step to improve the quality of life.

To prevent decay, we can do from food is to eat foods rich in vitamin A, which act on bone formation, and her presence can be found in foods such as kidney, liver, whole milk, cheese, fish blue, egg yolk, broccoli, spinach and cantaloupe. We must not forget the importance of healthy teeth the calcium and is essential to keep our teeth healthy, so that all foods containing it are welcome to the diet, and those rich in vitamin D to help better absorption of calcium, among them we find, sardines, herring, salmon, tuna, mackerel and fish liver oils.

Foods that provide vitamin C are those that allow us to keep our gums healthy, so we must include a good amount of citrus, parsley, green leafy vegetables, peppers and tomatoes.

A tip: At the end of the meal, substitute coffee for a small piece of cheese that protects tooth enamel, and inflammation of the gums, mouthwashes are best prepared with licorice, eucalyptus and savory.

Infections of dental origin are caused precisely by the tooth.
When this type of infection (which can cause pain, swelling of the face or gums, increased tooth mobility, swollen glands, inability to open the mouth to more severe complications or simply by a finding without symptoms travez a dental radiography) often follows the seizure of a given antibiotic to control the process.

But after several days of taking the drug the infection and inflammation or pain have diminished or disappeared but the problem remains possible cause and therefore should be treated.

The treatment are varied and range from tooth extraction, root canals, periodontal treatment, etc.
Our advice is to follow the right treatment and that not only aggravate the problem but also likely will return to the infectious process over time and may do so more aggressively.

In an interview with El Universal, the specialist said that dental problems are a public health issue that has not been given due importance.

He acknowledged that unfortunately people associate dentists with pain, because when they come to clinics have severe decay problems often arising in tooth extractions.

“The outlook would be different if you go regularly to the dentist, because they detect problems early,” he said.

Cavities begin in childhood. “Children two years your teeth are pitted” he says.

He added, the majority of Mexicans over 60 years to reach that stage of his life without few teeth when they never should have fallen. But in rural and indigenous areas, said the specialist, the problem of tooth decay and gum disease is more serious.

“Between 25 and 30 years are people who no longer have teeth, that’s worrisome,” said the dentist who recalled that this is partly because there are no dentists in these regions that serve the population.

Most, evidenced, are in cities and few want to go to work in underserved areas of the country.

Hence, he stressed the importance of such schools as the Mexican Dental Association, which seeks through its members meet the demands of the population, besides providing information to people about the dentists there are in Mexico and which are certificates. This said, avoided the population to be served by charlatans who missed out a specialty.

Yesterday was opened on 28 National Congress and International Association for Dental Mexican Health Secretary Julio Frenk.

In his inaugural message, the official said it is under review Official Mexican Standard on the Prevention and Control of Oral Diseases.

For its part, Armando Hernández Ramírez, president of ADM, said that during this three-day Congress will be held 50 courses in operative dentistry and biomaterials surgery, and will be assisted by specialists from 16 countries.

Interviewed in his office, Leopoldo Becerra, who is driving the baby’s dental clinic, said that there are places where there is no drinking water, but soda and junk food.

For this, he said, the rate of caries in the population living in communities outside the cities is severe, which added to the lack of dentists results in loss of teeth until they become edentulous at very young ages.

How old we talking about?
Between 25 and 35 there are a lot of people edentulous, which is serious because a tooth should last for a lifetime.

The problem is so serious that the Federal District has established a dental prosthesis after 60 years of age.

And partly, he said, this is due to a lack of culture of prevention of teeth by parents.

For the member of the Mexican Dental Association, this is a public health problem, not only domestically but also globally, to the extent that the World Health Organization states among the first sites of dental disease followed by the flu.

In perspective, the problem starts from education. The 60 universities in the country, where graduate dentists are not taught to prevent cavities and gum problems, but to attack the disease.

He said that diseases affecting the oral cavity by about 90% of the Peruvian population, among them being dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth bad positions, the most common.

To prevent these evils, he suggested the consumption of fluoridated salt in food, a substance that reinforces and strengthens the tooth structure; remineralising surface when decalcification by acids produced by bacteria generated.

Also, the specialist noted that fluoridation is a preventive measure that reduces the incidence of caries can be easily used by all people, regardless of the region where he resides, ensuring a wide coverage of preventive measure.

The fluoridation of salt is to strengthen the product for human consumption Doses from 200 to 250 milligrams of potassium fluoride per kilogram. Therefore it is recommended to review the back of the bags of salt purchased in the market to verify which includes appropriate established to acquire a product of tooth decay preventive. It is also inexpensive and can be purchased at any store.

Significantly, in the oral cavity begins the process of food and nutrition post, where the presence of the teeth will ensure adequate training and subsequent chewing cud, Lloclla Romero said.

The use of fluoridated salt in food reduces the oral cavity diseases, which are a risk factor of malnutrition due to the presence of pain symptomatology, which would produce a poor selection of food at the expense of soft food, hydrate carbon, reducing the intake of foods rich in protein and minerals, said the specialist.

Against this background the Extension Center Clinica Santa Maria will perform a free talk next Tuesday July 27th at 19:00 pm: “Bruxism, a bad involuntary” by Dr. William Flores, Unit Dentistry.

Dr. William Flores, Dentist, Dental Unit of the Clinic Santa Maria explains that “from the point of view has no bruxism dental treatment, what do the dentist to prevent damage by using intraoral devices and treatment of injury caused by the bad habit. ”

Another of the changes that can occur is the dental displacement in cases where the tooth relationship is unstable. For this reason it is recommended that at the end of orthodontic treatment is tested in the stability of the bite to prevent further displacement.

One of the most used is the use of a relaxation map, device that completely covers the teeth, and usually used in the maxilla. The patient should be examined periodically, and relationships of teeth and jaw position changes position over time and must be stabilized.

“It is a progressive phenomenon, we start with clenched teeth and wear them, they may feel headaches, joint sounds and pain on opening the mouth, and finally the person concerned may feel the sensation of having sand in the joint, because the structures articular bone is eroded, “says professional.

That is why if you have the above symptoms, you should consult a specialist in Orofacial Pain and Temporomandibular Disorders for a specific diagnosis of the patient’s condition and provide appropriate treatment. The dentist recommends having inspections every six months to assess the dental condition and related structures of the masticatory system to prevent, or take appropriate action.

He said that the growth of bacteria causes diseases occur such as thrush (sores) that affect the mouth, cavities, gingivitis, among others.

“The mouth is the organ that initiates the process of digestion, good care and food intake beneficial during the summer season will help prevent various diseases,” said Dr. Saravia Rojas.

He recommended eating a healthy diet, including fruit juice, vegetables, and plenty of water, as this will help prevent oral diseases. Also reduce the intake of sugary foods and drinks all day, it increases the levels of acid affects the teeth.

Dr. Saravia Rojas said that after eating between meals is necessary to at least rinse your mouth several times. Similarly, brushing before sleeping is important, because at night the acids that destroy the teeth are formed more easily, because the saliva secretion decreases and the anaerobic environment (mouth closed) provides favorable conditions for the proliferation of bacteria.

Finally, recommended to visit the dentist at least once a year, because this will allow early detection of any problems and deal with it, avoiding complications, pain and higher expenditures.

What would be the danger of using them?
The danger lies mainly in the intake of these substances by the mother who could bring some result in the fetus.
For this reason one recommended to wait at the end of pregnancy to whiten teeth.

The thing to remember is that when one moves on a tooth caries with root canal the patient tipop persive no sensitivity or discomfort since the encragada to perceive (pulp) has been eliminated.

Another question we are our patients is that if a tooth with a crown (porcelain, metal, acrylic, etc) can get cavities. Not only can but has more possibilities than a healthy tooth. This is because the crown sits on the tooth and in union with failure over the years, being able to produce a recurrence of cavities.

It is therefore advisable to carry out periodic visits to the dentist to check the teeth with root canals and crowns to prevent widespread destruction by caries.
