Healthy in the mouth.
As soon as the first tooth has erupted, we spend a lifetime brushing our teeth. Bacteria and plaque need to be removed and, of course, you want a gleaming white smile.
Bacteria are often regarded as nasty, disease-causing germs. And yet
humans and bacteria have developed together over the course of evolution and benefit each other. Our oral bacteria
support digestion and even the regulation of important bodily functions such as blood pressure.
Regular antibacterial oral care measures, as they are still practised
practised on a large scale to this day are, according to the latest studies
rather harmful.
Instead, dental care centres on mechanical tooth brushing: In the areas in the mouth and on the teeth that are reached by the predominantly moving brushes and toothpaste, the healthy oral flora is stabilised and maintained. This prevents disease-causing bacteria from gaining a habitat. As a rule, it is sufficient to brush twice a day, preferably with an automatic toothbrush and a good toothpaste, whereby you will certainly need the usual 3 minutes or even a little longer until all tooth surfaces are clean and the niches are reached.

Expert tip
If you have sensitive teeth, apply ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste to the sensitive tooth necks after every brushing, especially in the evening (the easiest way to do this is with your finger) and leave to work. In the case of severe discomfort or extensive sensitivity, it is best used in conjunction with a dental splint (ApaCare dental splint) or by means of ApaCare mineralising dental varnish.
