Our clinic has always been dedicated to the highest quality of service. We are extremely pleased to offer you the opportunity for diagnosing and preventing potential dental decay.

Tooth decay is a chronic infection of the tooth caused by bacteria naturally found in the oral cavity.

It is important to know that saliva and its ability to neutralize acids produced by bacteria can play a crucial role in preventing tooth decay, as well as the fact that the bacteria causing tooth decay can be transmitted from person to person through sharing drinks, kissing, etc.

The possibility of tooth decay can be predicted, meaning we can diagnose which patients are more prone to developing cavities. This category of modern technology allows us, when necessary, to prevent the development of cavities and all related problems through painless therapy Simple tests allow us to assess when someone, of any age, is prone to developing cavities.

Tests we use to assess susceptibility to tooth decay:

Testing the quality of saliva
Microbiological tests
Analysis of dietary habits
Presence of certain general diseases, e.g., diabetes
Clinical examination, which includes, for example, measuring plaque levels

If the microorganism culture shows that patients are at high risk of developing cavities, several painless therapeutic procedures can prevent cavities from forming.

BY USING THE ABOVE PROCEDURES, WE CAN ASSESS EACH PATIENT'S INDIVIDUAL RISK FOR TOOTH DECAY AND CONDUCT SPECIFIC PAINLESS THERAPY THAT WILL PREVENT NEW DECAY FROM OCCURRING!

Why is prevention important?

Prevention stops tooth decay before it leads to more serious problems. Regular oral hygiene, testing, and timely treatments can reduce the need for invasive procedures and preserve healthy teeth for many years.

How is the risk determined?

Risk is assessed by testing the quality of saliva, conducting microbiological analyses, reviewing dietary habits, and checking for conditions like diabetes. Clinical examinations also help assess plaque buildup and predispositions to tooth decay.

What causes tooth decay?

Tooth decay is caused by bacteria that convert sugars from food into acids, which damage tooth enamel. Its development is influenced by a diet rich in sugars, poor oral hygiene, insufficient saliva, and the transmission of bacteria from person to person.

How to prevent tooth decay?

Using advanced diagnostic tests, early risks of tooth decay can be identified. Painless therapeutic procedures, such as remineralizing enamel and controlling bacterial flora, help protect the teeth and reduce future problems.
