Regular oral hygiene and regular dental visits, even if nothing bothers you - that's all there is to dental disease prevention. However, despite dentists' persistent reminders of these obvious things, fewer patients adhere to them. People unjustifiably ignore preventive measures, not taking recommendations for dental prophylaxis seriously.

​

According to statistics, only 10% of people properly clean their teeth. Improper or irregular tooth cleaning leads to plaque formation, which in turn causes cavities and is one of the most common types of dental damage. Attention should be paid not only to the tooth cleaning method but also to the correct choice of toothbrush and toothpaste. Statistics show that people using fluoride-containing toothpaste suffer 25% less from cavities than those using regular toothpaste. Often, plaque appears even with proper cleaning – in places inaccessible to a regular toothbrush, so dentists recommend using dental floss specifically for cleaning tooth gaps. However, you should only use it after consulting a dentist because improper use of dental floss can be harmful.

The same statistics state that 80 to 95% of people are prone to cavities to some extent. Factors contributing to cavity development include unfavorable ecology, improper lifestyle, unbalanced diet, poor drinking water, inadequate rest, stress, genetic predisposition, overall immune status, and some individual body characteristics. Healthy teeth not only contribute to beauty and fresh breath but also protect against certain gastrointestinal diseases, enhance overall well-being.
