Around one in four adults is affected \n'
'
Increased plaque build-up or tartar formation can '
'lead to inflammation of the gums. This is caused by '
'bacteria in the dental plaque, which leads to increased '
'blood flow and loosening of the gums. The gums swell '
'and bleed when touched or when brushing teeth.

Healthy gums are firm and do not bleed \n'
'
Healthy teeth are covered with a fine root membrane '
'that is fused to the bone in the tooth socket. The gums '
'lie on top of this in a layer 1-2 mm thick. Healthy '
'gums adhere to the cervical area of the tooth with many '
'small suction cups. This prevents bacteria and plaque '
'from penetrating between the gum and tooth to the '
'jawbone.

Early detection is the key to successful '
'treatment \n'
'
Warning signs such as bleeding gums, receding gums, '
'bad breath (see "The 10 most important tips on bad '
'breath") or tooth migration should be investigated at '
'an early stage. The dentist can rule out periodontitis '
'within a few seconds using a simple periodontal '
'screening index. Pocket findings and X-ray examinations '
'or special risk tests, including genetic diagnostics, '
'are carried out on those affected to determine the '
'causes and progression of the disease.

Periodontitis (formerly periodontosis) It '
'used to be thought that "periodontitis" was an '
'age-related bone loss in the sense of bone remodelling '
'with advancing age. It was also thought that '
'overloading the teeth could lead to bone loss. However, '
'scientific findings have disproved this over the years. '
'We now know that "periodontitis" is an inflammatory '
'disease that is bacterial in origin but is caused by an '
'immunological overreaction, as described above.

Bone loss is irreversible! \n'
'
Genetically determined (hereditary predisposition) '
'and risk factors acquired in the course of life, such '
'as general diseases (e.g. diabetes, rheumatic diseases, '
'autoimmune diseases, etc.), side effects of medication '
'(see tip 2), lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking/alcohol, '
'unhealthy diet (sugar, saturated fatty acids, etc.) or '
'stress favour the development of oral flora that can '
'cause disease. (e.g. smoking/alcohol), an unhealthy '
'diet (sugar, saturated fatty acids ...) or stress '
'favour the development of pathogenic oral flora and can '
'lead to excessive immune (defence) reactions in the '
'gums and periodontium.
\n'
'
The body then produces messenger substances in '
'response to the (normal) bacterial infection, which '
'lead to the breakdown of the periodontium and the bony '
'tooth socket. As a result, bone and (often) gums can '
'recede. This leads to exposed root surfaces, often with '
'hypersensitivity, tooth migration and tooth loosening. '
'In the final stage, the tooth socket on the jawbone is '
'broken down and the teeth fall out.

Healing over timeRegular prevention often '
'goes (far) beyond professional tooth cleaning
\n'
'
After successful initial periodontal treatment (see '
'tip 8), the gums tighten and, in the best-case '
'scenario, the gum pockets disappear and often reduce in '
'size. However, bony regeneration usually does not '
'occur. The basic tendency to periodontitis is '
'also the same after treatment as before (see tip 3). In '
'this respect, periodontitis is basically "incurable". '
'The inflammation-free state and the associated '
'standstill for further bone resorption only remains '
'stable for a certain period of time, which varies from '
'person to person. This must be determined individually '
'in order to repeat the periodontitis therapy (as '
'so-called supportive periodontal therapy, UPT ) '
'in a modified or analogue form at intervals as '
'required.

Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern \n'
'
Many people suffer from exposed tooth necks and '
'hypersensitivity. These can also have other causes. For '
'example, bone windows on the periodontium can occur '
'during growth or the exposed root surfaces can be the '
'result of extensive orthodontic root movements or '
'incorrect tooth brushing technique (usually too much '
'pressure from the toothbrush). (see ApaCare Guide to '
'sensitive teeth)

Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? \n'
'
The spectre of "surgery" or "scraping the root '
'surfaces" is a thing of the past. Nowadays, there are '
'very gentle and very successful treatment alternatives: '
'Using thin probes vibrating in the sonic or ultrasonic '
'range under intensive rinsing, affected root surfaces '
'are carefully cleaned of deposits such as plaque, '
'layers of bacteria or tartar. Fine cleaning of the '
'pores on the root surface is carried out with gentle '
'powder particles in an air/water spray, which is '
'sprayed into the gum pockets. Pockets from a depth of 5 '
'mm can then be coated with blue dye and painlessly '
'disinfected with laser light (PACT® - photo-activated '
'therapy). The latter often replaces the antibiotics '
'that were used until recently and has no side effects. '
'In the case of very deep pockets, '
'regeneration-promoting gels can be applied into the '
'pocket.

Periodontitis comes in different forms and '
'progressions! \n'
'
Particularly critical are aggressive courses , '
'which generally occur in patients at a younger age '
'(under the age of 40) and are accompanied by rapid '
'progression (degradation of the periodontium). Affected '
'patients must be treated quickly and effectively. Tooth '
'extractions are often necessary. In chronic '
'forms (adult patients, usually older than 40 years '
'of age), bone loss is less rapid and the prognosis is '
'better. As a rule, the teeth can be preserved in the '
'long term.

What you can do yourself \n'
'
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. '
'
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). '
'
Everything is completely well tolerated, with '
'benefits for general health and without side effects. '

Dental health and nutrition \n'
'
\n'
' "Sugar is bad for your teeth" - you learn this from '
'kindergarten onwards. The regular consumption of sugar '
'not only promotes the development of tooth decay, but '
'also favours the development and progression of '
'inflammation in the body, such as gum recession and '
'periodontitis in the mouth. Sugar promotes the '
'development and progression of metabolic diseases such '
'as diabetes, as well as cardiovascular diseases, and '
'leads to faster ageing and even blemished skin and '
'acne.
\n'
'
\n'
' Incidentally, almost all sugar substitutes (with '
'the exception of xylitol) and fructose have a similar '
'effect. Often the\n'
'hidden sweeteners are mainly found in drinks, including '
'light drinks and ready meals.
\n'
'
\n'
' Speaking of fruit: these and acidic drinks can '
'favour tooth wear and enamel erosion, which is why you '
'should not brush your teeth for up to 2 hours after '
'consuming them. But food can also heal, even reduce '
'inflammation: The quickest way to do this is to reduce '
'the total number of calories consumed each day (e.g. '
'minimising carbohydrate consumption and avoiding '
'"sweet" snacks in particular).
\n'
'
\n'
' It is also advisable to select fats (e.g. cooking '
'with rapeseed oil, favouring polyunsaturated fatty '
'acids in fatty sea fish, avocado, nuts, etc.) and to '
'avoid the consumption of saturated fatty acids of '
'animal and vegetable origin (palm kernel fat, coconut '
'fat, etc.). Many plants and herbs contain so-called '
'secondary plant substances, such as spinach or '
'blueberries, which can also improve oral health if '
'consumed regularly.

Are (dental care) chewing gums useful? \n'
'
\n'
' Chewing gum stimulates the flow of saliva and thus '
'the immune defence in the mouth as well as the '
'remineralisation of the teeth and is therefore highly '
'recommended. However, chewing gum containing sugar '
'should be avoided.
\n'
'
\n'
' Incidentally, this effect takes effect after just a '
'few minutes; regular continuous chewing (several times '
'a day for more than 10 minutes) can overstrain the '
'chewing muscles and contribute to temporomandibular '
'joint disorders and muscle pain. Chewing gums that are '
'sweetened exclusively with xylitol (birch sugar) (in '
'large quantities), such as ApaCare '
'Gum Anti-Caries Chewing Gums , are particularly '
'recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective '
'in preventing tooth decay.

' 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.
\n'
'
\n'
' Bacteria are often regarded as nasty, '
'disease-causing germs. And yet\n'
'humans and bacteria have developed together over the '
'course of evolution and benefit each other. Our oral '
'bacteria\n'
'support digestion and even the regulation of important '
'bodily functions such as blood pressure.
\n'
'
\n'
' Regular antibacterial oral care measures, as they '
'are still practised\n'
'practised on a large scale to this day are, according '
'to the latest studies\n'
'rather harmful.
\n'
'
\n'
' 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.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of the '
'periodontium caused by harmful bacteria in the oral '
'flora. This disease not only leads to receding gums and '
'tooth loss, but is also associated with general health '
'problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and '
'high blood pressure. ApaCare OraLactin '
'toothpaste and mouthwash and especially '
'OraLactin probiotic chewable tablets or sachets '
'promote a healthy microbiome and support the natural '
'balance of the oral flora. Their probiotic and '
'prebiotic effects reduce inflammatory germs while '
'strengthening healthy bacteria. Studies also show that '
'regulated oral flora can have positive effects on the '
'entire organism, including lowering high blood '
'pressure.
\n'
'
Recommendation \n'
'
Use ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste daily and '
'rinse with ApaCare OraLactin mouthwash to '
'promote oral health, prevent periodontitis and benefit '
'from the general health benefits at the same time. In '
'addition, a 30-day probiotic course helps: 1 x daily 1 '
'OraLactin probiotic chewable tablet or allow the '
'contents of a sachet to dissolve in the mouth.

What to do in case of blue discolouration after '
'accidents? In the event of injuries caused by a '
'fall, blood vessels in the dental pulp (dental nerve) '
'may burst with subsequent bleeding, which can lead to '
'blue discolouration of the teeth, similar to a '
'haematoma. These regularly disappear without further '
'action.
A check-up at the dentist to rule out '
'tooth fractures or damage to the dental nerve is '
'recommended.

Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth\n'
' \n'
'
Unsightly tooth discolouration and gum inflammation '
'must be regularly prevented. This is best achieved '
'through regular dental care twice a day with an '
'electric toothbrush and suitable fluoride toothpaste '
'(ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel - see ApaCare '
'dental health guide). However, many coloured plaque '
'deposits still build up. From the age of 12, these can '
'be gently removed at home with a toothbrush once or '
'twice a week using a polishing paste instead of '
'toothpaste (ApaCare Polish).
In addition to '
'check-ups, the dentist should carry out professional '
'teeth cleaning at regular intervals or have it carried '
'out by dental assistants. The best way to do this is '
'with professional polishing systems and powder blasting '
'techniques using polishing powders with synthetic '
'enamel (e.g. ApaPearls).

Bad breath can be treated well \n'
'
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.
\n'
'
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.

The best way to prevent bad breath \n'
'
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.

Particularly recommended: daily cleaning of the '
'interdental spaces \n'
'
Interdental spaces and the transition areas to the '
'gums are best cleaned with monobrushes as '
'interchangeable heads on the electric toothbrush (e.g. '
'ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brushes) and in addition '
'with so-called interdental brushes or dental '

Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of '
'life and increase the risk of many oral '
'diseases The stimulated saliva flow rate, e.g. '
'when chewing chewing gum, is approx. 1 ml of saliva per '
'minute. Less than 0.3 ml of stimulated saliva flow '
'(hyposalivation) per minute is referred to as dry mouth '
'(xerostomia). People affected by this often suffer '
'greatly. The tongue sticks to the palate, speaking is '
'difficult, swallowing can become a pain, there is '
'unpleasant bad breath as well as burning mouth and '
'tongue. The spread of bacterial infections in the mouth '
'is favoured and the risk of oral fungal infections '
'increases. The lack of cleaning and remineralisation of '
'the teeth leads to the rapid progression of tooth decay '
'and inflammation of the gums, periodontium and oral '
'mucosa. The sense of taste is also very limited, even '
'to the point of discomfort such as the salty perception '
'of sweet food (dysgeusia).

Professional help for dry mouth\n'
' \n'
'
The special suppleness of the oral mucosa and its '
'ability to store water and lubricate food is achieved '
'primarily through naturally formed hyaluronic acid in '
'the connective tissue. This natural substance promotes '
'wound healing and inhibits inflammation
. '
'Regular use of high-molecular hyaluronic acid '
'preparations 3-5 times a day, especially mouth rinsing '
'solutions containing hyaluronic acid (ApaCare OraLactin '
'mouth rinsing solution) or sprays (GengiGel spray), can '
'significantly improve this ability, especially in cases '
'of dry mouth. The reduced amount of saliva is bound to '
'the surface of the mucous membrane more effectively and '
'sustainably.
Dental and oral care for dry '
'mouth Healthy teeth require a balanced mineral '
'balance. After every meal, the formation of lactic acid '
'by plaque bacteria (biofilm) leads to demineralisation '
'of the tooth surface. Calcium and phosphate ions in '
'particular are dissolved out. The buffer systems in '
'saliva slow down this natural process. The minerals '
'from the saliva are then incorporated back into the '
'tooth surface (remineralisation). With sufficient '
'saliva, demineralisation and remineralisation are in '
'balance. Fluorides also require sufficient saliva in '
'order to build up the protective calcium fluoride layer '
'on the tooth surface, for example when brushing with a '
'fluoridated toothpaste. Here too, the calcium comes '
'from saliva. Without saliva, the protective function of '
'the fluoride is considerably reduced. Especially in the '
'case of dry mouth, it is therefore necessary to supply '
'dental minerals such as calcium phosphate and '
'hydroxyapatite with dental care products. The best way '
'to do this is with a toothpaste that contains '
'hydroxyapatite as well as fluoride (e.g. ApaCare '
'Remineralising Toothpaste).

Around one in four adults is affected
Increased plaque build-up or tartar formation can lead to inflammation of the gums. This is caused by bacteria in the dental plaque, which leads to increased blood flow and loosening of the gums. The gums swell and bleed when touched or when brushing teeth.

Healthy gums are firm and do not bleed
Healthy teeth are covered with a fine root membrane that is fused to the bone in the tooth socket. The gums lie on top of this in a layer 1-2 mm thick. Healthy gums adhere to the cervical area of the tooth with many small suction cups. This prevents bacteria and plaque from penetrating between the gum and tooth to the jawbone.

Early detection is the key to successful treatment
Warning signs such as bleeding gums, receding gums, bad breath (see "The 10 most important tips on bad breath") or tooth migration should be investigated at an early stage. The dentist can rule out periodontitis within a few seconds using a simple periodontal screening index. Pocket findings and X-ray examinations or special risk tests, including genetic diagnostics, are carried out on those affected to determine the causes and progression of the disease.

Periodontitis (formerly periodontosis) It used to be thought that "periodontitis" was an age-related bone loss in the sense of bone remodelling with advancing age. It was also thought that overloading the teeth could lead to bone loss. However, scientific findings have disproved this over the years. We now know that "periodontitis" is an inflammatory disease that is bacterial in origin but is caused by an immunological overreaction, as described above.

Bone loss is irreversible!
Genetically determined (hereditary predisposition) and risk factors acquired in the course of life, such as general diseases (e.g. diabetes, rheumatic diseases, autoimmune diseases, etc.), side effects of medication (see tip 2), lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking/alcohol, unhealthy diet (sugar, saturated fatty acids, etc.) or stress favour the development of oral flora that can cause disease. (e.g. smoking/alcohol), an unhealthy diet (sugar, saturated fatty acids ...) or stress favour the development of pathogenic oral flora and can lead to excessive immune (defence) reactions in the gums and periodontium.
The body then produces messenger substances in response to the (normal) bacterial infection, which lead to the breakdown of the periodontium and the bony tooth socket. As a result, bone and (often) gums can recede. This leads to exposed root surfaces, often with hypersensitivity, tooth migration and tooth loosening. In the final stage, the tooth socket on the jawbone is broken down and the teeth fall out.

Healing over timeRegular prevention often goes (far) beyond professional tooth cleaning
After successful initial periodontal treatment (see tip 8), the gums tighten and, in the best-case scenario, the gum pockets disappear and often reduce in size. However, bony regeneration usually does not occur. The basic tendency to periodontitis is also the same after treatment as before (see tip 3). In this respect, periodontitis is basically "incurable". The inflammation-free state and the associated standstill for further bone resorption only remains stable for a certain period of time, which varies from person to person. This must be determined individually in order to repeat the periodontitis therapy (as so-called supportive periodontal therapy, UPT ) in a modified or analogue form at intervals as required.

Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern
Many people suffer from exposed tooth necks and hypersensitivity. These can also have other causes. For example, bone windows on the periodontium can occur during growth or the exposed root surfaces can be the result of extensive orthodontic root movements or incorrect tooth brushing technique (usually too much pressure from the toothbrush).

Not afraid of periodontitis treatment?
The spectre of "surgery" or "scraping the root surfaces" is a thing of the past. Nowadays, there are very gentle and very successful treatment alternatives: Using thin probes vibrating in the sonic or ultrasonic range under intensive rinsing, affected root surfaces are carefully cleaned of deposits such as plaque, layers of bacteria or tartar. Fine cleaning of the pores on the root surface is carried out with gentle powder particles in an air/water spray, which is sprayed into the gum pockets. Pockets from a depth of 5 mm can then be coated with blue dye and painlessly disinfected with laser light (PACT® - photo-activated therapy). The latter often replaces the antibiotics that were used until recently and has no side effects. In the case of very deep pockets, regeneration-promoting gels can be applied into the pocket.

Periodontitis comes in different forms and progressions!
Particularly critical are aggressive courses , which generally occur in patients at a younger age (under the age of 40) and are accompanied by rapid progression (degradation of the periodontium). Affected patients must be treated quickly and effectively. Tooth extractions are often necessary. In chronic forms (adult patients, usually older than 40 years of age), bone loss is less rapid and the prognosis is better. As a rule, the teeth can be preserved in the long term.

What you can do yourself
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.
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).
Everything is completely well tolerated, with benefits for general health and without side effects.

Dental health and nutrition
"Sugar is bad for your teeth" - you learn this from kindergarten onwards. The regular consumption of sugar not only promotes the development of tooth decay, but also favours the development and progression of inflammation in the body, such as gum recession and periodontitis in the mouth. Sugar promotes the development and progression of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, as well as cardiovascular diseases, and leads to faster ageing and even blemished skin and acne.
Incidentally, almost all sugar substitutes (with the exception of xylitol) and fructose have a similar effect. Often the
hidden sweeteners are mainly found in drinks, including light drinks and ready meals.
Speaking of fruit: these and acidic drinks can favour tooth wear and enamel erosion, which is why you should not brush your teeth for up to 2 hours after consuming them. But food can also heal, even reduce inflammation: The quickest way to do this is to reduce the total number of calories consumed each day (e.g. minimising carbohydrate consumption and avoiding "sweet" snacks in particular).
It is also advisable to select fats (e.g. cooking with rapeseed oil, favouring polyunsaturated fatty acids in fatty sea fish, avocado, nuts, etc.) and to avoid the consumption of saturated fatty acids of animal and vegetable origin (palm kernel fat, coconut fat, etc.). Many plants and herbs contain so-called secondary plant substances, such as spinach or blueberries, which can also improve oral health if consumed regularly.
Expert tip
Are (dental care) chewing gums useful?
Chewing gum stimulates the flow of saliva and thus the immune defence in the mouth as well as the remineralisation of the teeth and is therefore highly recommended. However, chewing gum containing sugar should be avoided.
Incidentally, this effect takes effect after just a few minutes; regular continuous chewing (several times a day for more than 10 minutes) can overstrain the chewing muscles and contribute to temporomandibular joint disorders and muscle pain. Chewing gums that are sweetened exclusively with xylitol (birch sugar) (in large quantities), such as ApaCare Gum Anti-Caries Chewing Gums , are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay.

Expert tip ApaCare OraLactin Liquid or Gengigel Spray from the pharmacy) is particularly helpful. The natural hyaluronic acid binds water and moisture to the upper layer of the mucous membrane and keeps it supple.
This is supported by the right care products, most simply in the form of toothpaste. This should restore to the tooth what is worn away from the tooth surface every day (e.g. ApaCare toothpaste ). Together with fluoride, liquid enamel forms a double protective layer on the tooth surface every day. The teeth are given a healthy white high lustre and at the same time porosity and decalcification are repaired.
Modern toothpastes (ApaCare OraLactin ) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria.

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.

What to do in case of blue discolouration after accidents? In the event of injuries caused by a fall, blood vessels in the dental pulp (dental nerve) may burst with subsequent bleeding, which can lead to blue discolouration of the teeth, similar to a haematoma. These regularly disappear without further action.
A check-up at the dentist to rule out tooth fractures or damage to the dental nerve is recommended.

Bad breath can be treated well
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.
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.

The best way to prevent bad breath
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.

Particularly recommended: daily cleaning of the interdental spaces
Interdental spaces and the transition areas to the gums are best cleaned with monobrushes as interchangeable heads on the electric toothbrush (e.g. ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brushes) and in addition with so-called interdental brushes or dental floss.

Professional help for dry mouth
The special suppleness of the oral mucosa and its ability to store water and lubricate food is achieved primarily through naturally formed hyaluronic acid in the connective tissue. This natural substance promotes wound healing and inhibits inflammation
. Regular use of high-molecular hyaluronic acid preparations 3-5 times a day, especially mouth rinsing solutions containing hyaluronic acid (ApaCare OraLactin mouth rinsing solution) or sprays (GengiGel spray), can significantly improve this ability, especially in cases of dry mouth. The reduced amount of saliva is bound to the surface of the mucous membrane more effectively and sustainably.
Dental and oral care for dry mouth Healthy teeth require a balanced mineral balance. After every meal, the formation of lactic acid by plaque bacteria (biofilm) leads to demineralisation of the tooth surface. Calcium and phosphate ions in particular are dissolved out. The buffer systems in saliva slow down this natural process. The minerals from the saliva are then incorporated back into the tooth surface (remineralisation). With sufficient saliva, demineralisation and remineralisation are in balance. Fluorides also require sufficient saliva in order to build up the protective calcium fluoride layer on the tooth surface, for example when brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste. Here too, the calcium comes from saliva. Without saliva, the protective function of the fluoride is considerably reduced. Especially in the case of dry mouth, it is therefore necessary to supply dental minerals such as calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite with dental care products. The best way to do this is with a toothpaste that contains hydroxyapatite as well as fluoride (e.g. ApaCare Remineralising Toothpaste).
