At Clínica Dental Miravéco, we firmly believe that good oral hygiene, combined with healthy lifestyle habits, is the foundation of a healthy mouth. Acquiring these habits from childhood can prevent a range of common and more serious dental problems in the future.
Prevention of Common Dental Problems
Instilling a proper oral hygiene routine from an early age helps us maintain a healthier lifestyle and avoid problems such as:
- Cavities: Cavities are one of the most common dental conditions in children and adults. Good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, is essential to prevent them.
- Gum Disease (Gingivitis): The buildup of bacterial plaque can cause gum inflammation, which in turn can lead to more serious diseases if not treated.
- Periodontal Disease: If gingivitis is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis, a serious infection that damages the soft tissue and bones supporting the teeth.
- Infections: Lack of hygiene can lead to oral infections that can be painful and difficult to treat.
- Tooth Loss: Untreated cavities and periodontal disease can result in tooth loss, affecting the function and aesthetics of the mouth.
Importance of Proper Tooth Alignment and Function
A well-aligned mouth with a correct bite is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps prevent:
- Tooth Wear: An incorrect bite can cause excessive wear on certain teeth.
- Gum Recession: Misaligned teeth can place undue pressure on the gums, causing them to recede.
- Cracks and Breaks: Poor alignment can lead to cracks and breaks in teeth due to uneven distribution of chewing force.
- Cavities: Misaligned teeth can be harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities.
- TMJ Problems: Poor alignment can cause issues with the temporomandibular joint, resulting in pain and dysfunction.
