Answer:

Dear user,

You use fluoride treatment for different kinds of treatments. It is always an assessment case when it is necessary or not. There is no dangerous side effects by a fluorine treatment. If you swallow a lot of fluoride, it can cause stomach problems, but it's not a problem at the dentist. If you are pregnant, but not have too high fluoride concentrations, as it can go beyond fetal teeth.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen

The address determines whether your child has cavities

Few parents think that their place of residence may influence whether their children have tooth decay or not. A new Danish study shows that there is a significant correlation between children's and young people's residence and the risk of caries (tooth decay), writes Tandlægebladet.

Fluoride concentration in the tap water that comes out of taps in the home can have a decisive influence on their children's caries. Children who live in Jutland, has twice as likely to have cavities as children who live in the southeastern part of Zealand and Lolland-Falster, Moen and Bornholm, where fluoride concentrations are highest.

There are significant differences in fluoride concentration in drinking water, depending on where you are in the country. If you live as a child or young in an area where a high concentration of fluoride in drinking water, it may mean that the risk of tooth decay can be half as large as in an area where the fluorine content is low - for example in West Jutland where the risk of tooth decay is up to twice as large as the areas where the fluoride concentration is highest. The more fluoride in the water, the fewer holes.
The survey was conducted among 48,351 children in the 5-year age and 43,848 15-year-olds across the country.

Advertisements for toothpaste and mouthwash shoot far above the target

A clean mouth for up to 12-24 hours. This is often in advertisements for toothpaste and mouthwashes, but the claims in advertisements are often directly untrue. That is why many consumers around with unrealistic ideas of what the type of products can accomplish. It said lead dentist Bo Danielsen, focusing on the problem in Dental Society Semester Course the 2010th

A toothbrushing can not be replaced by a fancy product that promises gold and green forests. One can not take a shortcut to a healthy oral hygiene. One has to make its own efforts by remembering to brush her teeth thoroughly. In addition, fluoride in toothpaste is most important to avoid getting cavities, says the senior dentist, MBA, MIL Bo Danielsen from SKT, School of Dentistry in Aarhus. Bo Danielsen is among speakers at the Dental Society Semester Course, which takes place 15th-17th april 2010 in Bella Center in Copenhagen.

Toothpastes and mouth rinses can help to make brushing a little more comfortable and give a sense of purity and freshness in the mouth. But if it really was such that these products on their own to keep the mouth clean for up to 12-24 hours, we would dentists probably be informed of it, says Bo Danielsen.

My advice to consumers: "Drop the expensive products, brush your teeth thoroughly with toothpaste containing fluoride," emphasizes Bo Danielsen.

He gets along with dental, Ph.D. Alan Richards focus on what advice dentists and dental carers can give their patients about the use of toothpaste and mouthwashes on dental association Semester Course the 2010th Semester Course is the largest training event in dentistry and gathers this year over 3000 dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and others interested in dental health.

Highly sensitive teeth when I brush my teeth

Question:

My third tooth from the middle of the mouth is very sensitive when I brush my teeth, take cream or feel with your tongue but not when I chew. Going to the dentist regularly and have taken several pictures, all showing a healthy tooth, so no treatment is offered. No precedent?

vh Carsten

Answer:

Dear Carsten,

It appears you have sensitive teeth. It happens when you use the wrong toothbrush technique and the root is exposed. The most gentle is to use small circular movements with your toothbrush against your teeth. Your dentist may want. try to treat your teeth with fluoride to see if it helps your symptoms.

Question 2:

Hi Joan
Thanks for your reply. Fluoride Treatment I have been past and it works.
Amazes me as well as symptoms only on one tooth.
vh Carsten

Answer 2:

Dear Carsten,

Corner Second is often the most affected because of its location and strong roots.

Hope you can use my answer.

Dental health among Greenlandic young children alarming

Dental health among Greenlandic children and young people are so poor that toddlers as young as one year of age are milk teeth pulled out.

"We can often remove bad teeth due to advanced caries in young children," says dentist George Ramstedt Jensen Tasiilaq.

"If you do not fit in his teeth, you can get pneumonia, and this goes not only beyond the teeth but also the rest of the body are affected," said dental assistant Johanne Hansen KNR.

A few years ago the regular dental rinse with fluoride stopped in Tasiilaq, and children and young people have not had regular dental examinations or training in toothbrushing.
Tasiilaq is planning to offer all school children have regular dental examinations and instruction in brushing. And now reintroduce the regular fluorine rinses in children.

Nationwide cariesstrategi
The Greenland Home Rule launched else in 2006 a nationwide strategy against caries called Cariesstrategi Greenland from 2008 to 2012 , as part of the Public Health Programme Inuuneritta . The strategic plan aimed, among other things by intensifying efforts for prevention of caries, and it should be mandatory by 1 January 2008 with systematic dental treatment for the population, or at least a systematic dental care for children and young people, if there should be sufficient capacity or finances to the entire population.

The National Tandbørstedag
As a direct cause of the poor dental health among the population of Greenland, introduced the Greenland Home Rule, 18 april 2007, the first country in the world, a national tandbørstedag. National Tandbørstedag in Greenland is 18 april.
