######################

You are a digital sales rep for ApaCare, a dental care company. Please assist clients with their dental-related questions.
Use German as primary language.

Start by asking a general question:
"Are you looking for a specific type of dental product or advice?"

If they are looking for advice, proceed with a questionnaire about their dental care needs:
Are they focusing on whitening, sensitivity, gum health, or general hygiene?
If they are looking for dental products:
give them a product suggestion from ApaCare only.
If they are not looking for dental products or advice, skip to general suggestions or conversation.

Once the questionnaire is complete:
Suggest a product and do not repeat the questionnaire unless explicitly requested.

When suggesting a product:
Look for the relevant product's page in the context.
Provide a detailed suggestion with an anchor tag link. Ensure the target attribute is set to "__blank" and use this format:
<a href="" target="__blank" class="kios-chat__custom-button" aria-label="[replace this with the product name]">
[replace this with the product name]
</a>

All links should have "__blank" target attribute.

Include related video suggestions:

Search YouTube for videos about the product or topic (e.g., how to use an electric toothbrush, flossing techniques).
Embed the video in an iframe using this format:
<iframe
width="100%"
height="auto"
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoId"
title="YouTube video player"
frameborder="0"
allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"
referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

For Google Drive videos, append /preview to the link and embed it:
<iframe src="" width="100%" height="auto" allow="autoplay"></iframe>

For public URL video links, use the <video> tag:
<video src="" width="100%" height="auto" controls></video>

If no videos are available, skip the multimedia content.

Guidelines:

Focus on promoting ApaCare's dental care products only—do not suggest competitors.
Suggest ApaCare's products as much as possible.
Suggest products from ApaCare's website's products page.

Answer general dental hygiene questions, offer maintenance tips (e.g., replacing toothbrush heads, flossing properly), or provide product-related FAQs.
Use engaging emojis where applicable (e.g., 🦷✨ for whitening, 🪥 for toothbrushes).
Once a product is suggested:

Avoid repeating the questionnaire unless the user requests it.
Offer general dental care tips, product care advice, or related topics to keep the conversation engaging.
For users who are unsure:
Provide a list of recommendations based on common concerns:

Whitening toothpaste
Electric toothbrushes for sensitive gums

Don't tag your company's products links, videos, faq, etc. as copyright infringement. 
Give a disclaimer at the end of suggestions/advices like "I am not a real doctor, but I can provide tips based on expert recommendations. Please feel free to contact our team anytime!" or similar.

    Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day (<a target="_self" href="https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced">ApaCare OraLactin Liquid</a> or Gengigel Spray from the pharmacy) is particularly helpful.

<p>
    Saliva is a multi-talent. Normally, between 700 ml and 1 litre of saliva is produced during the day. More with chewing, less at night. You cannot eat without saliva, as food sticks to the mucous membranes and cannot be swallowed. But the mineral balance of the teeth is also maintained by remineralisation from the saliva, acids are neutralised, flavour and immune substances are transported and much more. </p>
<p>
    Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. </p>
<p>
   The causes of dry mouth can be many and varied: Lack of fluids, mouth breathing, stress, stimulants such as cigarettes or alcohol, medication intake, hormone status through to the after-effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, autoimmune diseases and cancer. If symptoms persist, you should always seek medical advice (see <a href="https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/">dry mouth guide</a>). </p>
<p>
    Relief can be achieved by drinking regularly and sufficiently throughout the day, especially at mealtimes, reducing the consumption of coffee, alcohol and cigarettes and avoiding spicy or salty foods. Chewing gum and chewing pastilles also promote salivation. </p>

the tooth surface at the same time. The most important additive is natural fluoride with a content of up to 1,500 ppm in adult toothpastes and 1,000 ppm in children's toothpastes. This binds calcium from the saliva to the tooth surface in a thin (invisible) layer and promotes the natural remineralisation of the teeth. Very modern toothpastes such as <a href="https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619" target="_self">ApaCare toothpaste</a> also contain liquid enamel (medical hydroxyapatite) to build up a smoothing protective layer of enamel on the tooth surface with each brushing. This heals small tooth defects,
reduces hypersensitivity and brightens gently. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621" target="_self">ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste</a> also contains important probiotic active ingredients: prebiotics (natural dietary fibres
and amino acids), which selectively promote the growth of health-promoting oral bacteria, especially natural blood pressure-
lowering and diabetes-preventing oral bacteria. Postbiotics are bacterial biomodulators that inhibit pathogenic bacteria. Both together, prebiotics and postbiotics, support the restoration of healthy oral flora when used regularly. </p>

Context: # Probiotika statt antibakterieller Mundspülung

Im Vergleich zu einer Daueranwendung einer antibakteriellen Mundspülung auf Chlorhexidinbasis schneidet das orale Probiotikum deutlich besser ab. Eigentlich nicht verwunderlich, denn antibakterielle Präparate hemmen alle Bakterien, auch die „guten“. Übrigens: Probiotika haben keine Nebenwirkungen.

Zudem verdichtet sich der wissenschaftliche Verdacht, dass Mundspülungen mit Chlorhexidindämpfen schon nach einer Woche an der Ausbildung von Blutdruckbetroffenen beteiligt sein könnten. Dies durch Hemmung wichtiger Mundbakterien, die blutdruckregulierende Signalmoleküle bilden.

Bei Probiotika wie Oralactin besteht diese Gefahr nicht. Im Gegenteil, letztere können nach Absätzen der Mundspülung zur Sanierung der Mundflora angewendet werden.

Context: # 8 TIPP

## Mundflora geschickt lenken: Die neuen Postbiotika

Täglich die „Guten“ fördern und Krankheitserreger hemmen.

Neue postbiotische Präparate nutzen dies, um gezielt die „guten“ Bakterien einen Wachstumsvorteil zu verschaffen. Die „Guten“ überwachen allgemein die „Erreger“, die eine gesunde Mundflora entstehen lässt und wird stabilisiert. Täglich, ganz automatisch beim „normalen“ Zähneputzen oder -spülen mit einer postbiotischen Zahnpflege oder Mundspülung (ApaCare OralLactin Zahnpaste 2–3x täglich oder ApaCare OralLactin Mundspülung 1x spülen).

Unerwünschte Begleiterscheinungen oder Nebenwirkungen gibt es nicht.

## Experten-Tipp:

- Pre- und Postbiotika sind geschmacksneutral.
- Gesunde Zähnecreme, die gut schmeckt.

<p>The causes of foul odours are sulphur compounds, biogenic amines, ketones or short-chain carboxylic acids, which are produced by the bacterial decomposition of organic substances from food or detached mucous membrane cells in bacterial coatings.</p>
<p>The oral cavity and pharynx offer ideal conditions for this with the many niches and roughnesses on the teeth, tongue and tonsils.</p>
<p><b>Expert tip</b><br>
    Bacterial plaque on the back of the tongue, in interdental spaces and inadequate dentures are the most common causes of unpleasant bad breath (foetor ex ore). </p>

                                                        <h2>The best way to prevent bad breath</h2>
<p>The most important thing you can do to prevent bad breath is to carefully clean your teeth and tongue every day, ideally in conjunction with a twice-daily mouthwash. In addition, foods that directly cause bad breath, such as garlic, onions or cabbage, should be avoided - at least when it comes down to it. Alcohol, coffee and nicotine should also be reconsidered and consumed in moderation.</p>
<p><b>Expert tip</b><br>
    Brush your teeth twice a day!<br>
    The most effective way to clean your teeth (and tongue) is with a medium-hard toothbrush (e.g. ApaCare Sonic) in combination with a fluoride toothpaste. The interdental spaces in particular should be carefully cleaned once a day using interdental brushes or dental floss. Toothpastes with medical hydroxyapatite such as ApaCare also reduce the build-up of plaque on the tooth surfaces, which has an additional positive effect. </p>

<p>In well over 90 % of all cases, it is a so-called foetor ex ore. It is not "the stomach" that is responsible, but bacterial putrefaction processes in the mouth (especially the base of the tongue, interdental spaces, dentures) or in the nasopharynx (especially tonsillitis, tonsil stones).</p>

<p>The back third of the tongue in particular is an ideal habitat for odour-causing bacterial plaque and should be brushed daily. This can be done with a conventional toothbrush or with special tongue scrapers.</p>
<p><b>Expert tip</b><br>
    Apply gentle pressure from back to front: stick out your tongue and gently hold the tip of your tongue with your thumb and index finger. With the other hand, move the toothbrush or tongue cleaner from far back to the front several times with gentle pressure. Clean the brush/cleaner in between. </p>

<h2>Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics)</h2>
<p>Regular use of natural probiotics such as OraLactin can have a particularly lasting effect on reducing harmful microorganisms or those associated with bad breath. Probiotics such as OraLactin effectively reduce bad breath, protect against tooth decay and periodontitis and are beneficial for the oral mucosa. Used as a lozenge or in the form of sachets once a day consistently for 30 days: up to 3 months of effective protection.</p>
<p><b>Expert tip</b><br>
    Regular use of high-quality oral probiotics such as OraLactin can restore the balance of healthy oral flora and supports the body's natural defences. For all age groups from the age of 3. </p>

<p>Bad breath is the umbrella term for various forms of unpleasant smelling breath. Eating certain foods such as onions or garlic, stimulants such as tobacco or alcohol or an empty stomach can cause short-term bad breath.</p>
<p><b>There are two forms of persistent bad breath:</b></p>
<ol>
   <li>
        Bad breath that is only perceived by strangers when exhaling through the mouth (medically known as foetor ex ore) and has its causes in the mouth, nose or throat. </li>
   <li>
        Unpleasant odour when exhaling through the nose, which is also perceived by the person affected (medical halitosis) and whose causes usually stem from diseases of the digestive system, the respiratory organs or the metabolism. </li>
</ol>
<p><b>Expert tip</b><br>
    Bad breath is not a disease, but in the long term it is often a sign of poor oral hygiene or a concomitant symptom of systemic diseases. Older people are affected more often than younger people, men more often than women. </p>

<p>The basis of any treatment is a careful diagnosis by the dentist and/or doctor in order to identify the triggering factors. If there is an underlying systemic general disease, this must be treated causally. However, dental restoration, gum or periodontitis treatment or professional tooth and, above all, tongue cleaning is often necessary.</p>
<p>If medication is one of the causes, it is important to check whether it can be changed. In children and adolescents, the question of a "tonsillectomy" often arises, which must be discussed with the ear, nose and throat specialist.</p>
<p><b>Expert tip</b><br>
    Effective treatment of bad breath raises the self-esteem of those affected and improves their quality of life in the long term. </p>

    Strengthen your oral health with bacteria. 
</p>
<p>
    Set with probiotic OraLactin chewable pastilles and brand new pre- and postbiotic OraLactin toothpaste and OraLactin mouthwash. </p>
<p>With expert tips on probiotics.  
</p>
<p>
     The probiotic (with live lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) OraLactin chewable pastilles have long been considered to be beneficial to health, as they reduce inflammation of the periodontal soft tissue and bad breath and promote oral immunity (30 days 1x daily). 
</p>
<p>
   OraLactin Prebiotics (selective food for the "good guys") support a balanced microbiome, especially blood pressure-lowering and diabetes-preventing bacteria at the base of the tongue.  
</p>
<p>
    Oral probiotics are substances produced by live health-promoting bacteria and are very effective in the preventive inhibition of oral pathobionts. 
</p>
<p>
    Both pre- and postbiotics are brand new ingredients in the new OraLactin toothpaste and mouthwash. Daily! </p>

                                    Chewable tablets for naturally healthy oral flora.
Oral probiotic.
 Food supplement for daily use. Supports regeneration and promotes the stabilisation of healthy oral flora.
To restore and stabilise healthy oral flora. For use before, during or after dental caries, gum or periodontitis treatment or professional teeth cleaning. For implant inflammation. Regulates bad breath. Strengthens the immune defence.
Application:

1 time daily
Dissolve 1 tablet in the mouth.
Best taken regularly over 30 days, e.g. after meals.

Each chewable tablet contains at least 1 billion probiotic microorganisms from three different strains, which can favourably influence the bacterial colonisation of teeth, gums, tongue and oral mucosa. The effect is clinically proven: Studies show a higher plaque reduction compared to the antiseptic chlorhexidine1,2 and a significant reduction of the caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans3,4.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet or as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

    Strengthen your oral health with bacteria. 


    Set with probiotic OraLactin chewable pastilles and brand new pre- and postbiotic OraLactin toothpaste and OraLactin mouthwash. 
With expert tips on probiotics.  


     The probiotic (with live lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) OraLactin chewable pastilles have long been considered to be beneficial to health, as they reduce inflammation of the periodontal soft tissue and bad breath and promote oral immunity (30 days 1x daily). 


   OraLactin Prebiotics (selective food for the "good guys") support a balanced microbiome, especially blood pressure-lowering and diabetes-preventing bacteria at the base of the tongue.  


    Oral probiotics are substances produced by live health-promoting bacteria and are very effective in the preventive inhibition of oral pathobionts.

<h2>What you can do yourself</h2>
<p>Regular tooth brushing, preferably with an electric toothbrush (e.g. ApaCare Sonic toothbrush), ApaCare toothpaste and the use of interdental brushes reduces plaque and tartar and delays bacterial recolonisation of the gum pockets, which triggers periodontitis inflammation. Preventing periodontitis with pre- and postbiotic toothpastes (OraLactin toothpaste) or mouth rinses (OraLactin mouth rinse) is particularly effective. When used daily, these promote the good bacteria in the mouth and in the gum pockets and inhibit the growth of pathogens in the long term. </p><p>In addition, it is possible to clean your teeth at regular intervals (e.g. every 3 months) to preventively colonise the "good" bacteria with a 30-day probiotic cure (OraLactin sachets or lozenges). </p><p>Everything is completely well tolerated, with benefits for general health and without side effects. </p>

If dry mouth persists for a longer period of time, so-called tooth repair pastes should be used in addition to brushing with fluoridated toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite (e.g. ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). These are highly enriched with tooth minerals such as hydroxyapatite and are applied with a toothbrush or finger after brushing. </p><p>In severe cases of dry mouth or after consuming highly acidic meals or drinks, it is advisable to use these repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste), for example with dental splints (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental splint) several times a day or even overnight to achieve sufficient remineralisation of the tooth surface regardless of the low saliva flow.</p><h2>When should a doctor be consulted? </h2><p>Do not hesitate to consult your general practitioner, ear, nose and throat specialist or dentist if the dry mouth persists over a longer period of time, if you have increasing problems with fluency of speech or even difficulty swallowing </p><p>. There are also important indications of general medical causes if not only the mouth is dry, but also the nose or eyes on a regular basis, if taste is impaired or if the salivary glands become palpable or swollen. </p>

                                                        <p>Dry mouth, medically known as xerostomia, often occurs due to reduced saliva production. Causes can include hormonal changes such as those that occur during menopause or the use of certain medications. This leads to symptoms such as dry mucous membranes, difficulty chewing or speaking, and an increased risk of bad breath and tooth decay. The <b>ApaCare OraLactin mouthwash</b> with natural hyaluronic acid binds moisture from the saliva, keeps the mucous membranes supple and ensures long-lasting moisturization. In addition, the <b>ApaCare Gum Anti-Caries Chewing Gum</b> stimulates saliva flow, which provides additional support for the oral mucosa.</p>
<h2>Recommendation</h2>
<p>Rinse regularly with the <b>ApaCare OraLactin Mouthwash</b> to care for the mucous membranes and chew the <b>ApaCare Gum</b> as needed to promote saliva production and relieve discomfort.</p>

<p>Healthy oral flora cannot be taken for granted. To a certain extent it is genetically predetermined, but mainly it follows the living conditions, diet and any medication according to the principle: "Everything is everywhere but the environment chooses". Recently, there has been growing evidence that alcohol-based mouthwashes could promote the growth of harmful bacteria that are associated with the development of oral cavity cancer. </p><p>Other scientists warn against regular mouthwashes with chlorhexidine ingredients and point to their potential effect of increasing blood pressure.<br>
Bad breath is also associated with dysbiotic oral flora.</p><p><b>expert tip</b>
<br>A healthy oral flora is as individual as a fingerprint and is of great importance not only for dental and oral health but apparently also for general health.<br></p>
