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.

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.

If the acidity on the surface of a tooth is below pH 5.5, there will be a release of calcium and phosphate ions, which are enshrined in the saliva.

But since saliva is a saturated solution of these ions, the possibility exists that these superfiie return to the tooth. If the saliva pH rises above 5.5, any injury that may affect only enamel remineralisation and “heal.”

If this balance is upset in favor of bone (due to prolonged periods of acidity) will end up producing a cavity in the tooth, requiring restorative treatment (removal of caries and recovery of lost tissue through a restorative material).

This category includes intense sweeteners such as saccharin, cyclamate, acesulfame-K and aspartame, and sugar substitutes such as isomalt, sorbitol and xylitol.
The sugarless gum use these sweeteners. The sweet taste and chewing stimulate salivary flow, contributing to the prevention of caries.

These gums can contain minerals such as calcium, phosphate and fluoride to improve dental repair process. Some studies have reported that sugar-free gum after a meal consumed accelerate the cleanup of debris and reduce the rate of caries development in children.
Products “friends” of the teeth have to pass specific tests to obtain the approval of “safe for teeth.”
