' 'Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the ' 'individual light transparency of the whitish enamel ' 'allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or ' 'less, depending on the thickness of the enamel.

In addition, a large number ' 'of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral ' 'mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and ' '1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The ' 'saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous ' 'membranes with an adherent thin film.\n' '\n' 'The composition of saliva is complex; the main ' 'components are water, organic components such as ' 'mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic ' 'components such as calcium and phosphate.\n' '\n' 'The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the ' 'day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the ' 'idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, ' 'while it is greatly reduced at night.\n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' "## You can't eat without saliva\n" '\n' 'Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the ' 'oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible ' 'without the moisturising of the mucous membranes ' 'through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an ' 'antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin ' 'to digest food.\n' '\n' 'The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and ' 'acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an ' 'important role in the perception of flavour. \n' '\n' '### 3\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of ' 'life and\n' '\n' '### increase the risk of many oral diseases'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '309b8d30-e6a8-4270-bc09-00bd092e1a75', 'metadata': {'chunk': 6.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23main-navigation-menu-65586.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '### increase the risk of many oral diseases\n' '\n' 'The stimulated saliva flow rate, e.g. when chewing ' 'chewing gum, is approx. 1 ml of saliva per minute.

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.

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).

' '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.

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.

The shape ' 'and position of the teeth also influence perception; ' 'large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear ' '"whiter". The colour impression is created by light ' 'reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish ' 'translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the ' 'tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin \n' '\n' '. The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge ' 'than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but ' 'also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the ' 'transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat ' '"yellower" due to the dentin shining through. \n' '\n' 'As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and ' 'the teeth consequently yellower.

' 'Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the ' 'individual light transparency of the whitish enamel ' 'allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or ' 'less, depending on the thickness of the enamel.

Where does tooth ' 'colour or discolouration come from?\n' '\n' 'Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape ' 'and position of the teeth also influence perception; ' 'large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear ' '"whiter". The colour impression is created by light ' 'reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish ' 'translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the ' 'tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin \n' '\n' '. The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge ' 'than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but ' 'also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the ' 'transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat ' '"yellower" due to the dentin shining through. \n' '\n' 'As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and ' 'the teeth consequently yellower.

Their effect can be enhanced by laser ' 'light, blue light or heat. \n' '\n' 'The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and ' 'loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and ' 'structural changes.

The structural changes that ' 'cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to ' 'remineralisation effects from the saliva and ' 'toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for ' 'years. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in ' 'older teeth.

Early dental clarification and nutritional ' 'counselling is recommended. \n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Acids dissolve tooth enamel\n' '\n' 'So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by ' 'the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, ' 'usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved ' 'in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid ' '(reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on ' 'the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit ' 'acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. ' 'cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth ' 'and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as ' 'round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely ' 'at the gumline.

It is estimated ' 'that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 ' 'and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or ' 'signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root ' 'surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this ' 'area, into which nerve processes radiate from the ' 'inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. ' 'Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) ' 'stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal ' 'tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, ' 'short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these ' 'stimuli.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a ' 'while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride ' '(ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. \n' '\n' '### 7\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss?\n' '\n' 'Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the ' 'quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp ' '(intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity ' 'reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable ' 'non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity ' 'is therefore based on the individual suffering of the ' 'affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated ' 'by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily ' 'after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening ' 'after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there ' 'should be a significant and lasting improvement. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'First of all, it is very important to eliminate or ' 'minimise the causative factors.

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.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Brush your teeth twice a day! \n' ' 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. \n' '\n' '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Particularly recommended: daily cleaning of the ' 'interdental spaces\n' '\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 floss.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare ' 'Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes ' '(e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very ' 'effective way of preventing tartar. \n' '\n' '### 9\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Focus on the tongue\n' '\n' '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.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' 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.

' 'Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the ' 'individual light transparency of the whitish enamel ' 'allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or ' 'less, depending on the thickness of the enamel.

' 'Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the ' 'individual light transparency of the whitish enamel ' 'allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or ' 'less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The ' 'enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and ' 'therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With ' 'advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel ' 'decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense ' 'yellowish tooth colour. \n' '\n' ' During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and ' 'the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches ' 'the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth ' 'appears duller and whiter.

In addition, a large number ' 'of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral ' 'mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and ' '1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The ' 'saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous ' 'membranes with an adherent thin film.\n' '\n' 'The composition of saliva is complex; the main ' 'components are water, organic components such as ' 'mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic ' 'components such as calcium and phosphate.\n' '\n' 'The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the ' 'day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the ' 'idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, ' 'while it is greatly reduced at night.\n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' "## You can't eat without saliva\n" '\n' 'Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the ' 'oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible ' 'without the moisturising of the mucous membranes ' 'through saliva and its rinsing function.

Where does tooth ' 'colour or discolouration come from?\n' '\n' 'Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape ' 'and position of the teeth also influence perception; ' 'large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear ' '"whiter". The colour impression is created by light ' 'reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish ' 'translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the ' 'tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin \n' '\n' '. The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge ' 'than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but ' 'also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the ' 'transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat ' '"yellower" due to the dentin shining through. \n' '\n' 'As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and ' 'the teeth consequently yellower.

Such colour deposits ' 'can also be found in the dentin.

Their effect can be enhanced by laser ' 'light, blue light or heat. \n' '\n' 'The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and ' 'loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and ' 'structural changes.

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.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Brush your teeth twice a day! \n' ' 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. \n' '\n' '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Particularly recommended: daily cleaning of the ' 'interdental spaces\n' '\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 floss.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare ' 'Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes ' '(e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very ' 'effective way of preventing tartar. \n' '\n' '### 9\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Focus on the tongue\n' '\n' '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.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' 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.

In addition, a large number ' 'of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral ' 'mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and ' '1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The ' 'saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous ' 'membranes with an adherent thin film.\n' '\n' 'The composition of saliva is complex; the main ' 'components are water, organic components such as ' 'mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic ' 'components such as calcium and phosphate.\n' '\n' 'The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the ' 'day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the ' 'idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, ' 'while it is greatly reduced at night.\n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' "## You can't eat without saliva\n" '\n' 'Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the ' 'oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible ' 'without the moisturising of the mucous membranes ' 'through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an ' 'antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin ' 'to digest food.\n' '\n' 'The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and ' 'acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an ' 'important role in the perception of flavour. \n' '\n' '### 3\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of ' 'life and\n' '\n' '### increase the risk of many oral diseases'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': 'a58063c5-2b86-4f26-943b-15f1b16d838b', 'metadata': {'chunk': 6.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23content-main-65583.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '### increase the risk of many oral diseases\n' '\n' '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).\n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes\n' '\n' 'In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a ' 'lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient ' 'air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like ' 'infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, ' 'nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, ' 'especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry ' 'mouth.\n' '\n' 'Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone ' 'preparations) also often correlate with a transitional ' 'dry mouth.

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). \n' '\n' '### 9\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitisEnamel ' 'minerals\n' '\n' 'such as hydroxyapatite from ApaCare toothpaste are ' 'deposited on the tooth surface as an additional ' 'protective layer during tooth brushing, which ' 'reinforces or partially replaces the function of saliva ' 'on the tooth surface.

Combinations of different factors are ' 'often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects ' '(indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture ' 'above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not ' 'too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) ' 'and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic ' 'Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing ' 'movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard ' '(gums become just whitish under the toothbrush).\n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Stress and aggression damage the teeth\n' '\n' 'Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, ' 'especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal ' 'surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media ' 'wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to ' 'extensive grinding.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted ' 'element in the nervous system for processing tension ' 'and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be ' 'treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended ' 'that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are ' 'often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation ' '(relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). \n' '\n' '### 3\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Tooth wear due to poor diet\n' '\n' 'So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive ' 'wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can ' 'be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive ' 'food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) ' 'or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth.'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': 'd77012ee-d14f-4946-b3b6-698557515aa3', 'metadata': {'chunk': 6.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-after-target-01939218b91a78fd92db00a52476c657-72325.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '**Expert tip** \n' ' Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual ' 'consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth ' 'wear within a short period of time, which the dentist ' 'is often powerless to prevent.

Early dental clarification and nutritional ' 'counselling is recommended. \n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Acids dissolve tooth enamel\n' '\n' 'So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by ' 'the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, ' 'usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved ' 'in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid ' '(reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on ' 'the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit ' 'acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. ' 'cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth ' 'and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as ' 'round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely ' 'at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected ' 'teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after ' 'consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention ' 'is the daily application of repair paste such as ' 'ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after ' 'brushing your teeth.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' You should refrain from brushing your teeth ' 'immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks ' '(wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to ' 'drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a ' 'glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid ' 'brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them ' 'thoroughly beforehand. \n' '\n' '### 5\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Tooth malformation / stained teeth\n' '\n' 'Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally ' 'different from signs of wear and tear, are ' '**"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency ' 'of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes ' 'being discussed being genetic malformations and ' 'anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, ' 'side effects of medication, trauma or environmental ' 'influences.

It is estimated ' 'that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 ' 'and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or ' 'signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root ' 'surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this ' 'area, into which nerve processes radiate from the ' 'inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. ' 'Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) ' 'stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal ' 'tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, ' 'short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these ' 'stimuli.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a ' 'while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride ' '(ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. \n' '\n' '### 7\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss?\n' '\n' 'Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the ' 'quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp ' '(intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity ' 'reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable ' 'non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity ' 'is therefore based on the individual suffering of the ' 'affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated ' 'by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily ' 'after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening ' 'after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there ' 'should be a significant and lasting improvement. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'First of all, it is very important to eliminate or ' 'minimise the causative factors. This applies in ' 'particular to the cause of signs of wear in the ' 'cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect ' 'brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or ' 'whitening toothpastes. \n' '\n' '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '7f331e67-226f-427c-9102-7c80777cf2ff', 'metadata': {'chunk': 8.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-after-target-01939218b91a78fd92db00a52476c657-72325.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?\n' '\n' 'Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various ' 'active ingredients that are intended to dampen ' 'hypersensitive nerve reactions.

Their effect can be enhanced by laser ' 'light, blue light or heat. \n' '\n' 'The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and ' 'loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and ' 'structural changes. The light is reflected closer to ' 'the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear ' 'brighter and (opaque) whiter. \n' '\n' 'In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are ' 'oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that ' 'cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to ' 'remineralisation effects from the saliva and ' 'toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for ' 'years. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in ' 'older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth ' 'necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is ' 'therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth ' 'necks or canines can hardly be whitened.

' 'Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of ' 'strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on ' 'the teeth. \n' '\n' 'Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a ' 'dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with ' 'a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of ' 'carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. \n' '\n' 'Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed ' 'tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct ' '(responsible) bleaching technique. \n' '\n' 'In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum ' 'inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) ' 'suspended. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage ' 'and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it.

Repeated bleaching ' 'is also possible. However, several months should be ' 'allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the ' 'enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover ' 'through remineralisation from the saliva. \n' '\n' 'At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very ' 'important to close the roughness and pores on the ' 'surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so ' 'that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and ' 'the bleaching result lasts as long as possible.'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '8764750a-cbd8-4215-9001-087c90d06657', 'metadata': {'chunk': 8.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23header-main-search-input-65534.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': 'This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night ' 'for at least one week, preferably several. the ' 'bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare ' 'Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare ' 'Repair tooth repair paste). \n' '\n' 'The resulting deposition of white medical ' 'hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth ' 'surface additionally favours the bleaching result. \n' '\n' 'It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with ' 'lighter ones after bleaching \n' '\n' '.

This so-called walking bleaching technique ' 'involves a continuous release of oxygen from the ' 'bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the ' 'pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down ' 'and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching ' 'agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and ' 'the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time ' 'in most cases. \n' '\n' '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What to do if stains occur during bleaching?\n' '\n' 'If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied ' 'evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, ' 'unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel ' 'surface.

Early dental clarification and nutritional ' 'counselling is recommended. \n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Acids dissolve tooth enamel\n' '\n' 'So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by ' 'the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, ' 'usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved ' 'in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid ' '(reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on ' 'the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit ' 'acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. ' 'cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth ' 'and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as ' 'round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely ' 'at the gumline.

It is estimated ' 'that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 ' 'and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or ' 'signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root ' 'surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this ' 'area, into which nerve processes radiate from the ' 'inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. ' 'Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) ' 'stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal ' 'tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, ' 'short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these ' 'stimuli.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a ' 'while.

Teeth with hypersensitivity ' 'reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable ' 'non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity ' 'is therefore based on the individual suffering of the ' 'affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated ' 'by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily ' 'after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening ' 'after brushing your teeth.

Combinations of different factors are ' 'often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects ' '(indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture ' 'above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not ' 'too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) ' 'and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic ' 'Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing ' 'movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard ' '(gums become just whitish under the toothbrush).\n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Stress and aggression damage the teeth\n' '\n' 'Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, ' 'especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal ' 'surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media ' 'wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to ' 'extensive grinding.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted ' 'element in the nervous system for processing tension ' 'and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be ' 'treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended ' 'that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are ' 'often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation ' '(relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). \n' '\n' '### 3\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Tooth wear due to poor diet\n' '\n' 'So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive ' 'wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can ' 'be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive ' 'food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) ' 'or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth.'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '4cf48879-ced5-49ef-a0e0-b48bfb73b733', 'metadata': {'chunk': 6.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-main-65642.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '**Expert tip** \n' ' Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual ' 'consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth ' 'wear within a short period of time, which the dentist ' 'is often powerless to prevent. Late consequences can ' 'include a lowered bite or temporomandibular joint ' 'problems, which often require extensive restorative ' 'treatment. Early dental clarification and nutritional ' 'counselling is recommended. \n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Acids dissolve tooth enamel\n' '\n' 'So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by ' 'the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, ' 'usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved ' 'in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid ' '(reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on ' 'the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit ' 'acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. ' 'cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth ' 'and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as ' 'round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely ' 'at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected ' 'teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after ' 'consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention ' 'is the daily application of repair paste such as ' 'ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after ' 'brushing your teeth.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' You should refrain from brushing your teeth ' 'immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks ' '(wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to ' 'drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a ' 'glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid ' 'brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them ' 'thoroughly beforehand. \n' '\n' '### 5\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Tooth malformation / stained teeth\n' '\n' 'Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally ' 'different from signs of wear and tear, are ' '**"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency ' 'of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes ' 'being discussed being genetic malformations and ' 'anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, ' 'side effects of medication, trauma or environmental ' 'influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the ' 'first molars (molars) in the posterior region are ' 'affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel ' 'formation disorders hypomineralisation).'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': 'ff88b575-316a-4503-b509-ef7f1c6ed3ea', 'metadata': {'chunk': 7.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-main-65642.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '**Expert tip** \n' ' Those affected should seek professional advice from a ' 'dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is ' 'required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride ' 'combination preparations in infants (first year of ' 'life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in ' "conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's " 'toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely ' 'brownish enamel stains). \n' '\n' '### 6\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Why tooth necks can become sensitive\n' '\n' 'Sensitive tooth necks are widespread. It is estimated ' 'that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 ' 'and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or ' 'signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root ' 'surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this ' 'area, into which nerve processes radiate from the ' 'inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. ' 'Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) ' 'stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal ' 'tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, ' 'short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these ' 'stimuli.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a ' 'while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride ' '(ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. \n' '\n' '### 7\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss?\n' '\n' 'Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the ' 'quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp ' '(intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity ' 'reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable ' 'non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity ' 'is therefore based on the individual suffering of the ' 'affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated ' 'by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily ' 'after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening ' 'after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there ' 'should be a significant and lasting improvement. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'First of all, it is very important to eliminate or ' 'minimise the causative factors. This applies in ' 'particular to the cause of signs of wear in the ' 'cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect ' 'brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or ' 'whitening toothpastes. \n' '\n' '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '21ed5d21-6f71-42cd-94c2-1e2f7d9345f6', 'metadata': {'chunk': 8.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-main-65642.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?\n' '\n' 'Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various ' 'active ingredients that are intended to dampen ' 'hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often ' 'does not work in the long term. The most effective way ' 'to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use ' 'tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair ' 'paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In ' 'addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive ' 'tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated ' 'with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush ' 'bottle).

Both milk teeth and permanent ' 'teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents ' 'even both dentitions. \n' '\n' 'One particular form of this irreversible enamel ' 'formation disorder is so-called molar incisor ' 'hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the ' 'first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The ' 'upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected ' 'than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised ' 'when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the ' 'case of permanent teeth. \n' '\n' 'There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH ' 'cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque ' 'discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and ' 'unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are ' 'characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and ' 'even slight changes in the shape of the tooth.

This could not be scientifically ' 'confirmed.\n' '\n' 'Today, it is assumed that a combination of several ' 'causes could be responsible. In particular, early ' 'childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial ' 'asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, ' 'probably together with a genetic predisposition.\n' '\n' 'Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays ' 'taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for ' 'example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also ' 'being discussed.\n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Causal prevention is almost impossible\n' '\n' 'As the causative factors and triggers of the disease ' 'have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for ' 'prevention is unfortunately still not possible.\n' '\n' 'Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D ' 'supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent ' 'rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops ' 'or similar), could have a positive effect and help to ' 'prevent the disease.\n' '\n' '### 5\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Early clarification recommended\n' '\n' 'Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often ' 'have different causes and are not always due to chalky ' 'teeth.

Both milk teeth and permanent ' 'teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents ' 'even both dentitions. \n' '\n' 'One particular form of this irreversible enamel ' 'formation disorder is so-called molar incisor ' 'hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the ' 'first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The ' 'upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected ' 'than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised ' 'when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the ' 'case of permanent teeth. \n' '\n' 'There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH ' 'cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque ' 'discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and ' 'unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are ' 'characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and ' 'even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, ' 'very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very ' 'pronounced morphological changes in shape and ' 'structural collapses. \n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Frequency and complications\n' '\n' 'In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of ' '10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old ' 'adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in ' 'their permanent teeth.

Combinations of different factors are ' 'often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects ' '(indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture ' 'above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not ' 'too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) ' 'and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic ' 'Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing ' 'movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard ' '(gums become just whitish under the toothbrush).\n' '\n' '### 2\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Stress and aggression damage the teeth\n' '\n' 'Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, ' 'especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal ' 'surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media ' 'wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to ' 'extensive grinding.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted ' 'element in the nervous system for processing tension ' 'and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be ' 'treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended ' 'that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are ' 'often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation ' '(relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). \n' '\n' '### 3\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Tooth wear due to poor diet\n' '\n' 'So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive ' 'wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can ' 'be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive ' 'food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) ' 'or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth.'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '435e2852-6177-4bbc-92c8-3aa9685ef025', 'metadata': {'chunk': 6.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '**Expert tip** \n' ' Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual ' 'consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth ' 'wear within a short period of time, which the dentist ' 'is often powerless to prevent. Late consequences can ' 'include a lowered bite or temporomandibular joint ' 'problems, which often require extensive restorative ' 'treatment. Early dental clarification and nutritional ' 'counselling is recommended. \n' '\n' '### 4\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Acids dissolve tooth enamel\n' '\n' 'So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by ' 'the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, ' 'usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved ' 'in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid ' '(reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on ' 'the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit ' 'acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. ' 'cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth ' 'and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as ' 'round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely ' 'at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected ' 'teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after ' 'consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention ' 'is the daily application of repair paste such as ' 'ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after ' 'brushing your teeth.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' You should refrain from brushing your teeth ' 'immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks ' '(wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to ' 'drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a ' 'glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid ' 'brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them ' 'thoroughly beforehand. \n' '\n' '### 5\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Tooth malformation / stained teeth\n' '\n' 'Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally ' 'different from signs of wear and tear, are ' '**"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency ' 'of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes ' 'being discussed being genetic malformations and ' 'anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, ' 'side effects of medication, trauma or environmental ' 'influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the ' 'first molars (molars) in the posterior region are ' 'affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel ' 'formation disorders hypomineralisation).'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '232c7d45-9b3c-4da6-80f3-87ebf37610b2', 'metadata': {'chunk': 7.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '**Expert tip** \n' ' Those affected should seek professional advice from a ' 'dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is ' 'required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride ' 'combination preparations in infants (first year of ' 'life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in ' "conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's " 'toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely ' 'brownish enamel stains). \n' '\n' '### 6\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Why tooth necks can become sensitive\n' '\n' 'Sensitive tooth necks are widespread. It is estimated ' 'that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 ' 'and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or ' 'signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root ' 'surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this ' 'area, into which nerve processes radiate from the ' 'inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. ' 'Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) ' 'stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal ' 'tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, ' 'short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these ' 'stimuli.\n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a ' 'while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride ' '(ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. \n' '\n' '### 7\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss?\n' '\n' 'Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the ' 'quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp ' '(intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity ' 'reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable ' 'non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity ' 'is therefore based on the individual suffering of the ' 'affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated ' 'by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily ' 'after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening ' 'after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there ' 'should be a significant and lasting improvement. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' 'First of all, it is very important to eliminate or ' 'minimise the causative factors. This applies in ' 'particular to the cause of signs of wear in the ' 'cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect ' 'brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or ' 'whitening toothpastes. \n' '\n' '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?'}, 'score': 0.0, 'values': []}, {'id': '259b3113-d0bf-4530-b7b5-ade7e2824bfb', 'metadata': {'chunk': 8.0, 'file_name': 'www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt', 'is_dict': 'no', 'text': '### 8\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity?\n' '\n' 'Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various ' 'active ingredients that are intended to dampen ' 'hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often ' 'does not work in the long term. The most effective way ' 'to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use ' 'tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair ' 'paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In ' 'addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive ' 'tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated ' 'with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush ' 'bottle). This sticks for a few hours to days and often ' 'provides immediate and lasting relief. Both ApaCare ' 'Repair tooth repair paste and ApaCare tooth varnish ' 'contain micro-fine enamel crystals that penetrate deep ' 'into the canals, fuse with the tooth and close the ' 'original open canals. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' In severe cases or to intensify the treatment, we ' 'recommend using ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in ' 'conjunction with dental splints (ApaCare Repair dental ' 'splint), which are best worn overnight (everything you ' 'need is included in the ApaCare Sensitive Teeth Kit). \n' '\n' '### 9\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What can the dentist do about hypersensitive teeth?\n' '\n' 'Dentists can professionally seal the open dentin ' 'tubules. There is a wide range of sealing materials ' 'available for this purpose, from plastic adhesive ' '(composite) to liquid enamel varnish (ApaCare dental ' 'varnish), which are applied to the affected tooth necks ' 'depending on the individual situation and are usually ' 'hardened. Cervical fillings or crowns are only required ' 'in rare cases. \n' '\n' '**Expert tip** \n' ' Sensitive tooth necks can be professionally sealed ' 'very successfully. \n' '\n' '### 10\n' '\n' '#### Tip\n' '\n' '## What to do if none of this helps?\n' '\n' 'Severe sensitivity to cold can also be the first signs ' 'of reversible or even irreversible dental neuritis. In ' 'contrast to hypersensitivity reactions, the cold pain ' 'in these cases often lasts longer or is accompanied by ' 'radiating pain in response to warm stimuli.

As part of the digestive tract, the oral cavity is naturally colonised by a very large number of bacteria. Postbiotics, prebiotics or probiotics generally do not cause any side effects. There is also no problem of overdosing, as the unneeded microbes are dissolved and excreted . As a purely precautionary measure, patients with a severely weakened immune system (transplant patients, during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or acute autoimmune diseases) should refrain from using live bacteria and therefore probiotic preparations. However, prebiotic (natural) nutrients or postbiotic information carriers are completely independent of this and do not have this restriction on use. **Expert tip** Modern science speaks all round in favour of probiotic-supplemented oral prophylaxis. By the way: probiotic live cultures, as well as prebiotics and postbiotics, are neutral in flavour. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not all probiotics are the same: **from microbe to probiotic.** In order for one or more microorganisms to be used as a probiotic or as a basis for the production of postbiotic signalling substances, a variety of properties must be investigated. First, the exact strains and any interactions between them are determined and defined. Each probiotic formulation behaves differently. In addition to ensuring the ability to multiply and the metabolic activity over the shelf life of the corresponding formulation, the interaction with the oral bacteria, the gastrointestinal passage, non-invasive, non-carcinogenic, non-pathogenic properties must be ensured and the promotion of healthy oral flora must be proven. Probiotics should not be "mixed together" by yourself Caution should also be exercised when combining different probiotic preparations. **expert tip** Every OraLactin cure can be ideally supported by pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products. ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-65214.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## Antibiotics work by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria or killing them. These are necessary for serious bacterial infections that the body's immune system cannot fight itself and where there is a risk of spreading or where the risk of complications is high. Prophylactic applications are also useful, e.g. to protect against endocarditis, during surgical procedures in immunocompromised patients or e.g. jawbone necrosis. Oral probiotics can already be used with antibiotic therapy. To maximise the effectiveness of probiotics, an interval of 2-3 hours should be observed between taking antibiotics and using probiotics. This minimises the likelihood that the antibiotics will also kill off beneficial bacteria. It is also advisable to continue using oral probiotics for at least 2 weeks after the end of antibiotic treatment in order to rebalance the oral (and intestinal) microbiome and support the growth of natural, health-promoting bacteria. Pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products such as OraLactin toothpaste and mouthwash can accompany antibiotic treatment continuously without interaction. **Expert tip** Probiotics can be a useful accompaniment to antibiotic therapy. ### 10 #### Tip ## The importance of nutrition and hydration Plant foods containing nitrates, such as beetroot, leafy vegetables, spinach and especially fruits with a high content of phytochemicals or enzymes (blueberries, papaya, mangosteen, etc.) enhance the probiotic effects and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep the digestive system healthy and the mucous membranes well moisturised. Minimise sugary foods and drinks (replace with water) and watch out for hidden sugars. **Expert tip** Eat a portion of blueberries or enjoy a spinach smoothie more often.

Yoghurt and kefir are widely used in everyday life and probiotic food supplements for the gut are very well known. The importance of oral probiotics and health-promoting lactic acid and bifido bacteria for oral, dental and general health has only recently been discovered. Since then, many scientific studies have emphasised the importance of oral probiotic prevention and treatment concepts. **Expert tip** Regular use of high-quality oral probiotics, such as ApaCare OraLactin as a powder or chewable pastilles, can restore the balance of healthy oral flora, improve the barrier properties of the body and the gums and support the body's natural defences. ### 4 #### Tip ## Probiotics **Naturally regulate, holistically stabilise.** The 700 to 800 natural bacterial species that colonise the oral cavity (microbiome) compete for nutrients and growth niches and influence each other through natural messenger substances. Probiotic bacterial cultures have a regulating effect on the oral microbiota through their positive signalling molecules by supporting the health-promoting ones and regulating the pathogenic ones. A healthy oral flora can develop and is stabilised, and the intestinal flora is also strengthened. This is supported by a low-sugar, high-fibre diet. **Expert tip** Probiotics are best used as a 30-day course (once a day, regularly). Also in conjunction with dental treatment. Such cures can be repeated several times a year. Probiotics have no side effects and are also suitable for long-term use. (Patients who are severely immunocompromised should temporarily suspend treatment) ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-65214.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. **Probiotic effect for everyday life.** Bacteria-specific nutrients and natural dietary fibres (prebiotics), such as gum arabic or amino acids like L-arginine, promote the growth and metabolic activity of health-promoting bacteria without any negative interaction with the body's cells. So-called postbiotics are bacteria-characteristic (natural) information carriers (Lactobacillus ferments), which are obtained from inactivated probiotic lactic acid bacteria and, unlike living bacteria, can also be stabilised in aqueous oral hygiene products. Both together are said to have a probiotic effect, as the oral flora develops positively and in a health-correlated manner with regular use. **Expert tip** Prebiotics and postbiotics can lead to significant probiotic effects in liquid oral hygiene products such as toothpaste or mouthwash. This not only promotes oral and dental health or fresh breath, but can have important effects on general health, for example by supporting blood pressure regulation. ### 6 #### Tip ## Build up oral flora. **This is the best way to do it.** **All age groups from the age of 6 can benefit from OraLactin.** OraLactin Probiotics (sachets or chewable pastilles) are particularly recommended before, during or after dental treatment or prophylaxis. Regularly in cases of high susceptibility to tooth decay, inflammation of the gums or implants, periodontitis, generally bad teeth, bad breath or sensitive mucous membranes. Senior citizens can also use probiotics to better prevent oral diseases. If you want to benefit automatically every day, it is best to use a ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste or mouthwash with a probiotic effect: teeth, gums and oral mucosa are optimally protected, remineralised and regenerated. The oral flora is stabilised in a balanced way and bacteria that promote general health and lower blood pressure are particularly supported. **Expert tip** Dental care products with OraLactin and probiotic effects expand dental and medical prophylaxis to include general medical prevention aspects and support the stabilisation of healthy oral flora. ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23content-main-65492.txt Page: 1 Context: 1.

[ Pre-, Post- and Probiotics ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/pre-post-and-probiotics/) # Probiotic oral and dental care ### Healthy oral flora promotes general health. ### 1 #### Tip ## Healthy oral flora 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. Other scientists warn against regular mouthwashes with chlorhexidine ingredients and point to their potential effect of increasing blood pressure. Bad breath is also associated with dysbiotic oral flora. **expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## "Good" bacteria are part of our health We humans and the bacteria that colonise us have developed together in an evolutionary and symbiotic way. Intestinal flora, skin flora and oral flora protect us from diseases by preventing pathogens from finding niches in which to grow. At the same time, we are dependent on the microbiome to produce vital metabolic products such as vitamin K or nitrite and protect us from diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes and vascular diseases through to dementia. **Expert tip** Antimicrobial prevention concepts, such as antibacterial oral hygiene products or mouthwashes, influence undesirable pathogens as well as necessary health-promoting germs. This can neither regulate nor stabilise a healthy microbiome. Modern prophylaxis completely dispenses with the regular use of alcohol- or chlorhexidine-based or other antimicrobial preparations. ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23content-main-65492.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" **For your health.** Probiotic means that such products and foods contain living microorganisms which - when consumed regularly in sufficient quantities - have a health-promoting effect.

[ Bad breath tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/bad-breath-tips/) # The 10 most important tips for bad breath ### 1 #### Tip ## Not all bad breath is the same 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. **There are two forms of persistent bad breath:** 1. 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. 2. 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## Around one in four adults is affected 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). **Expert tip** Co-factors such as stress or an unbalanced diet or dry mouth can promote bad breath. ### 3 #### Tip ## Musty-rancid to fishy or faecal odour 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. The oral cavity and pharynx offer ideal conditions for this with the many niches and roughnesses on the teeth, tongue and tonsils. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23ccm19-65266.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Other causes of bad breath * Disease of the periodontium (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries) * Reduced saliva flow (dry mouth), also in connection with mouth breathing, snoring or taking certain medications such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc. * Bacterial inflammation of the mouth and throat such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, etc. * Very rare: Tumours in the mouth and throat area * Lung diseases such as bronchitis **Expert tip** Diseases of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach, intestines), infections such as Helicobacter pylori, diabetes mellitus or poisoning (phosphorus, arsenic, selenium) are only the cause of unpleasant bad breath in a few exceptional cases. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bad breath can be imagined Some people perceive bad breath in themselves, although objectively there is no bad breath (halitophobia). This can trigger anxiety and even lead to obsessive thoughts or actions. **Expert tip** Bad breath can be measured. The most accurate way is to have your breath analysed by gas chromatography, for example at the dentist. Simply speak to your dentist at your next visit. That way you can be absolutely sure! ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Effective treatment of bad breath raises the self-esteem of those affected and improves their quality of life in the long term. ### 7 #### Tip ## The best way to prevent bad breath #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23ccm19-65266.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Brush your teeth twice a day! 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. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes (e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very effective way of preventing tartar. ### 9 #### Tip ## Focus on the tongue 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23ccm19-65266.txt Page: 1 Context: #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) 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. **Expert tip** 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.

[ Tips for periodontitis/gum inflammation ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation/) # The 10 most important tips for dental care ### 1 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, slightly stippled and do not bleed when touched or brushed. The "red aesthetic" is a very important factor for a radiantly beautiful smile. ### 2 #### Tip ## 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. Gum inflammation can also be the result of hormonal interactions (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, etc.) or occur in conjunction with general illnesses (e.g. diabetes) or drug interactions (e.g. antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc.). **Expert tip** Bleeding gums can usually be successfully treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Thorough tooth brushing is the best way to prevent it (see ApaCare Dental health guide). ### 3 #### Tip ## Bone loss is irreversible! #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-after-target-0193921c59ff7b7a90adf53fce80942d-72326.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Periodontitis is often the result of a hereditary predisposition and can be favoured by general illnesses or lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and above all stress. ### 4 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Once periodontitis - always periodontitis Anyone who suffers from periodontitis once is usually affected for life. The causes cannot be cured. However, modern dentistry can effectively stop the progression of the disease in most cases through recurring preventive treatments. ### 5 #### Tip ## Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-after-target-0193921c59ff7b7a90adf53fce80942d-72326.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## 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). (see ApaCare Guide to sensitive teeth) **Expert tip** Exposed tooth necks can often be left as they are. The affected teeth are generally not at risk of additional loss. In the case of visual impairments, these can be covered very successfully by microsurgical gum displacement or gum grafting. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** The earlier periodontitis is recognised and treated, the better the prognosis for long-term tooth preservation. ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern dentistry allows for very targeted diagnostics. Precise knowledge of the individual risk factors is crucial for successful treatment. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-after-target-0193921c59ff7b7a90adf53fce80942d-72326.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern periodontitis treatment is generally painless or painless with a gentle anaesthetic (dental injection). After-effects are extremely rare. ### 9 #### Tip ## 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-after-target-0193921c59ff7b7a90adf53fce80942d-72326.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Professional tooth cleaning at the dentist alone is often not enough to halt the progression of periodontal disease, as it does not affect the inflammatory reactions in the depths of the gum pockets. The first UPT usually takes place 6 - 8 weeks after the initial periodontitis therapy, then after 3, 6 to 12 months. It is important that the dentist reassesses the risk of disease progression from time to time (general illnesses, stress, living conditions, medication, hormone status, etc.) and then adjusts the intervals individually. For a lifetime. ### 10 #### Tip ## 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.

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. 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](https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619)). 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: Modern toothpastes ([ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria. growth of health-promoting bacteria. Especially those in the mouth that play an important role in lowering high blood pressure and the prevention of diabetes; as a preventative measure or as an adjunct to therapy with the everyday measure of "brushing your teeth". Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, we recommend floss is best for teenagers and young adults. If you have receding gums, periodontitis or dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not get stuck). If you suffer from bad breath, you should clean your tongue daily, preferably with a toothpaste with a probiotic effect (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush and[ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)). **Expert tip** Targeted and thorough cleaning helps more than quick and frequent cleaning. Liquid tooth enamel (ApaCare) strengthens the teeth. Probiotic active ingredients (ApaCare OraLactin ) promote dental, oral and general health. All tooth surfaces must be reached "mechanically" and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must "work in" (do not rinse after brushing your teeth). ### 1 #### Tip ## The right toothbrush There is no longer any doubt: machine, electric toothbrushes clean better than manual toothbrushes, from toddlers to senior citizens. manual toothbrushes. This is mainly due to the fact that the rapid bristle movements clean better and the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes is partially the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: [ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) 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. **Expert tip** Fluoride and liquid enamel! We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dental plaque. What to do? If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244). ApaCare [Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home. Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. **Expert tip** Polishing pastes such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week. ### 4 #### Tip ## White teeth without a guilty conscience Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as [ApaCare Repair](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) Intensive Repair: The enamel surface is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see [ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-fuer-weisse-zaehne-und-zum-bleichen/)). This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g. with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint ([ApaCare Repair dental splint](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)). ### 5 #### Tip ## Perhaps the most important thing: new probiotics New scientific findings make us rethink: Many previous antibacterial oral hygiene measures inhibit both the pathogenic and the good bacteria and can therefore neither preventively stabilise the balance of healthy oral flora nor restore it after illness. New probiotics such as OraLactin contain health-promoting, live bacteria that use inhibitors or enzymes to selectively inhibit or kill the growth of specific pathogens. At the same time, they improve the body's barrier function and stimulate the immune defence. A healthy oral flora is often restored after just 2-4 weeks of regular use of the probiotic. Ideal as a 30-day cure in the form of [chewable pastilles](https://www.apacare.com/OraLactin-Chewable-pastilles/1100021) or [sachets](https://www.apacare.com/Oral-probiotic.-Sachets/1100020) (see [Pro-, Pre- and Postbiotics guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-zahngesundheit-und-probiotika/)). ## The probiotic effect #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: ## The probiotic effect Prebiotics are natural substances (selective nutrients for the good guys) that promote the growth of healthy oral bacteria. Postbiotics are inactivated bacteria and bioactive substances that can restore the balance of healthy oral flora by selectively inhibiting pathogenic germs. Both are contained in the new [OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) and the [ApaCare OraLactin Liqiud](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced), so you can benefit from them every day. **Expert tip** Prevention and health promotion without extra effort - when brushing your teeth every day. ApaCare OraLactin Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: 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** Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach. ### 7 #### 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](https://www.apacare.com/Anti-caries-chewing-gum/1100003), are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay. **Expert tip** Several times a year: Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day. Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day. ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. 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. Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. 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 [dry mouth guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/)). 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. **Expert tip** Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day ([ApaCare OraLactin Liquid](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced) 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. ### 9 #### Tip ## What to do with sensitive teeth The actual body of the tooth (the dentin) is permeated with many small fluid-filled canals right up to the "nerve" inside the tooth. The overlying enamel is thin or patchy, especially at the neck of the tooth. Ice, but also sweet foods or stimulants that come into contact with the neck of the tooth can trigger shooting pain via the tubules to the "nerve". The tooth and the nerves do not suffer, but those affected do. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: Permanent relief is achieved when the tubules are permanently sealed on the surface. The most sustainable way to achieve this is with liquid enamel, preferably in the [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) or using [ApaCare mineralising tooth varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200) (see [guide to sensitive teeth](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zu-empfindlichen-zaehnen-und-abnutzung/)). **Expert tip** If you have sensitive teeth, apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) 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](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)) or by means of [ApaCare mineralising dental varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200). ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if your gums are bleeding or receding Bleeding gums and receding gums are common symptoms of periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Diseases of the periodontium very often begin unrecognised and progress gradually. Only a dentist can rule out such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the event of gum changes before the bony periodontium becomes inflamed and irreversibly degraded by the body. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23ccm19-65460.txt Page: 1 Context: Ultimately, only a dentist can prevent further progression of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets and tooth root surfaces must also be treated in depth (see [ApaCare Periodontitis guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-parodontitis-zahnfleischentzuendung/)). **Expert tip** Home dental care alone cannot stop the progression of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-up and cleaning intervals at the dentist to sensible intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progression and risk of the disease).

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for dry mouth ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-dry-mouth/) # The 10 most important tips for dry mouth ### 1 #### Tip ## Saliva: the all-rounder in the oral cavity Humans have three large salivary glands, each located on both sides of the mouth. In addition, a large number of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and 1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous membranes with an adherent thin film. The composition of saliva is complex; the main components are water, organic components such as mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic components such as calcium and phosphate. The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, while it is greatly reduced at night. ### 2 #### Tip ## You can't eat without saliva Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible without the moisturising of the mucous membranes through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin to digest food. The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an important role in the perception of flavour. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of life and ### increase the risk of many oral diseases #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23main-navigation-menu-65586.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry mouth. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone preparations) also often correlate with a transitional dry mouth. Older people are often affected, but up to 10% of young adults also appear to suffer from dry mouth to a greater or lesser extent. ### 5 #### Tip ## Dry mouth as a disease Persistent dry mouth is often the result of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, a concomitant symptom of a disease of the salivary glands, a consequence of salivary gland tumours or diabetes. In Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease, a chronic inflammatory reaction leads to the destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Post-menopausal women in particular can be affected. ### 6 #### Tip ## Many medications can lead to dry mouth as an undesirable side effect Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23main-navigation-menu-65586.txt Page: 1 Context: Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: Antihypertensives (blood pressure-lowering drugs), beta-blockers, antidepressants, psychotropic drugs, antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs), antiepileptic drugs, drugs for Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, painkillers from the opiate group, tranquillisers and sleeping pills, diuretics (diuretic drugs), but also antiemetics (anti-nausea drugs, travel sickness) can lead to (greatly) reduced salivation. ### 7 #### Tip ## Home remedy for dry mouth The obligatory glass of water on the lectern is said to alleviate the dry mouth of the often excited speaker, facilitate the flow of speech and prevent hoarseness. It also helps to drink enough throughout the day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. In general, food should be chewed thoroughly. Stimulants such as excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol should be avoided and smoking should be reduced or even stopped. Salty, spicy and strongly flavoured foods should also be avoided. Particularly in winter, care should be taken to ensure that rooms, especially bedrooms, are sufficiently humidified and regularly ventilated. Regularly chewing sugar-free chewing gum (e.g. ApaCare Gum) or lozenges (e.g. Xerodent) stimulates the flow of saliva. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23main-navigation-menu-65586.txt Page: 1 Context: ## 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). ### 9 #### Tip ## Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitisEnamel minerals such as hydroxyapatite from ApaCare toothpaste are deposited on the tooth surface as an additional protective layer during tooth brushing, which reinforces or partially replaces the function of saliva on the tooth surface. 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. 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. ## When should a doctor be consulted? 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23main-navigation-menu-65586.txt Page: 1 Context: . 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## What else can be done After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists. Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing . ## Living with dry mouth Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth. As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually #################### File: www-apacare-com-2F-65185.txt Page: 1 Context: ##

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Pre-, Post- and Probiotics ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/pre-post-and-probiotics/) # Probiotic oral and dental care ### Healthy oral flora promotes general health. ### 1 #### Tip ## Healthy oral flora 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. Other scientists warn against regular mouthwashes with chlorhexidine ingredients and point to their potential effect of increasing blood pressure. Bad breath is also associated with dysbiotic oral flora. **expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## "Good" bacteria are part of our health We humans and the bacteria that colonise us have developed together in an evolutionary and symbiotic way. Intestinal flora, skin flora and oral flora protect us from diseases by preventing pathogens from finding niches in which to grow. At the same time, we are dependent on the microbiome to produce vital metabolic products such as vitamin K or nitrite and protect us from diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes and vascular diseases through to dementia. **Expert tip** Antimicrobial prevention concepts, such as antibacterial oral hygiene products or mouthwashes, influence undesirable pathogens as well as necessary health-promoting germs. This can neither regulate nor stabilise a healthy microbiome. Modern prophylaxis completely dispenses with the regular use of alcohol- or chlorhexidine-based or other antimicrobial preparations. ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23main-navigation-menu-65405.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" **For your health.** Probiotic means that such products and foods contain living microorganisms which - when consumed regularly in sufficient quantities - have a health-promoting effect. Yoghurt and kefir are widely used in everyday life and probiotic food supplements for the gut are very well known. The importance of oral probiotics and health-promoting lactic acid and bifido bacteria for oral, dental and general health has only recently been discovered. Since then, many scientific studies have emphasised the importance of oral probiotic prevention and treatment concepts. **Expert tip** Regular use of high-quality oral probiotics, such as ApaCare OraLactin as a powder or chewable pastilles, can restore the balance of healthy oral flora, improve the barrier properties of the body and the gums and support the body's natural defences. ### 4 #### Tip ## Probiotics **Naturally regulate, holistically stabilise.** The 700 to 800 natural bacterial species that colonise the oral cavity (microbiome) compete for nutrients and growth niches and influence each other through natural messenger substances. Probiotic bacterial cultures have a regulating effect on the oral microbiota through their positive signalling molecules by supporting the health-promoting ones and regulating the pathogenic ones. A healthy oral flora can develop and is stabilised, and the intestinal flora is also strengthened. This is supported by a low-sugar, high-fibre diet. **Expert tip** Probiotics are best used as a 30-day course (once a day, regularly). Also in conjunction with dental treatment. Such cures can be repeated several times a year. Probiotics have no side effects and are also suitable for long-term use. (Patients who are severely immunocompromised should temporarily suspend treatment) ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23main-navigation-menu-65405.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. **Probiotic effect for everyday life.** Bacteria-specific nutrients and natural dietary fibres (prebiotics), such as gum arabic or amino acids like L-arginine, promote the growth and metabolic activity of health-promoting bacteria without any negative interaction with the body's cells. So-called postbiotics are bacteria-characteristic (natural) information carriers (Lactobacillus ferments), which are obtained from inactivated probiotic lactic acid bacteria and, unlike living bacteria, can also be stabilised in aqueous oral hygiene products. Both together are said to have a probiotic effect, as the oral flora develops positively and in a health-correlated manner with regular use. **Expert tip** Prebiotics and postbiotics can lead to significant probiotic effects in liquid oral hygiene products such as toothpaste or mouthwash. This not only promotes oral and dental health or fresh breath, but can have important effects on general health, for example by supporting blood pressure regulation. ### 6 #### Tip ## Build up oral flora. **This is the best way to do it.** **All age groups from the age of 6 can benefit from OraLactin.** OraLactin Probiotics (sachets or chewable pastilles) are particularly recommended before, during or after dental treatment or prophylaxis. Regularly in cases of high susceptibility to tooth decay, inflammation of the gums or implants, periodontitis, generally bad teeth, bad breath or sensitive mucous membranes. Senior citizens can also use probiotics to better prevent oral diseases. If you want to benefit automatically every day, it is best to use a ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste or mouthwash with a probiotic effect: teeth, gums and oral mucosa are optimally protected, remineralised and regenerated. The oral flora is stabilised in a balanced way and bacteria that promote general health and lower blood pressure are particularly supported. **Expert tip** Dental care products with OraLactin and probiotic effects expand dental and medical prophylaxis to include general medical prevention aspects and support the stabilisation of healthy oral flora. ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23main-navigation-menu-65405.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? As part of the digestive tract, the oral cavity is naturally colonised by a very large number of bacteria. Postbiotics, prebiotics or probiotics generally do not cause any side effects. There is also no problem of overdosing, as the unneeded microbes are dissolved and excreted . As a purely precautionary measure, patients with a severely weakened immune system (transplant patients, during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or acute autoimmune diseases) should refrain from using live bacteria and therefore probiotic preparations. However, prebiotic (natural) nutrients or postbiotic information carriers are completely independent of this and do not have this restriction on use. **Expert tip** Modern science speaks all round in favour of probiotic-supplemented oral prophylaxis. By the way: probiotic live cultures, as well as prebiotics and postbiotics, are neutral in flavour. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not all probiotics are the same: **from microbe to probiotic.** In order for one or more microorganisms to be used as a probiotic or as a basis for the production of postbiotic signalling substances, a variety of properties must be investigated. First, the exact strains and any interactions between them are determined and defined. Each probiotic formulation behaves differently. In addition to ensuring the ability to multiply and the metabolic activity over the shelf life of the corresponding formulation, the interaction with the oral bacteria, the gastrointestinal passage, non-invasive, non-carcinogenic, non-pathogenic properties must be ensured and the promotion of healthy oral flora must be proven. Probiotics should not be "mixed together" by yourself Caution should also be exercised when combining different probiotic preparations. **expert tip** Every OraLactin cure can be ideally supported by pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products. ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23main-navigation-menu-65405.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## Antibiotics work by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria or killing them. These are necessary for serious bacterial infections that the body's immune system cannot fight itself and where there is a risk of spreading or where the risk of complications is high. Prophylactic applications are also useful, e.g. to protect against endocarditis, during surgical procedures in immunocompromised patients or e.g. jawbone necrosis. Oral probiotics can already be used with antibiotic therapy. To maximise the effectiveness of probiotics, an interval of 2-3 hours should be observed between taking antibiotics and using probiotics. This minimises the likelihood that the antibiotics will also kill off beneficial bacteria. It is also advisable to continue using oral probiotics for at least 2 weeks after the end of antibiotic treatment in order to rebalance the oral (and intestinal) microbiome and support the growth of natural, health-promoting bacteria. Pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products such as OraLactin toothpaste and mouthwash can accompany antibiotic treatment continuously without interaction. **Expert tip** Probiotics can be a useful accompaniment to antibiotic therapy. ### 10 #### Tip ## The importance of nutrition and hydration Plant foods containing nitrates, such as beetroot, leafy vegetables, spinach and especially fruits with a high content of phytochemicals or enzymes (blueberries, papaya, mangosteen, etc.) enhance the probiotic effects and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep the digestive system healthy and the mucous membranes well moisturised. Minimise sugary foods and drinks (replace with water) and watch out for hidden sugars. **Expert tip** Eat a portion of blueberries or enjoy a spinach smoothie more often.

Es kann zu funktionellen Einschränkungen beim Kauen und nicht selten zu sozialen Problemen kommen (Optik). ## 3. TIPP ### Die Ursache ist noch immer unklar Die Häufigkeit der Fälle nimmt seit den 1980er Jahren stark zu, sodass man in der Anfangszeit vor allem Umweltfaktoren und Pestizide als mögliche Ursachen betrachtet hat. Dies konnte wissenschaftlich nicht bestätigt werden. Heute geht man eher davon aus, dass ein Zusammenwirken mehrerer Ursachen verantwortlich sein könnte. Vor allem frühkindliche Atemwegserkrankungen wie Asthma bronchiale, Lungenzündung, Pseudokrupp etc. stehen im Verdacht, wahrscheinlich zusammen mit einer genetischen Veranlagung. Auch medikamentöse Wechselwirkungen zur frühkindlichen Einnahme von Antibiotika oder Asthmamedikamenten und deren Wechselwirkungen zum Beispiel mit speziellen Kunststoffen (z. B. Bis-GMA) werden diskutiert. #################### File: Ratgeber_MIH_12_2023-pdf.pdf Page: 4 Context: # Tipps zur Zahngesundheit ## 4. Tipp: Ursächlich vorbeugen geht kaum Da die ursächlichen Faktoren und die Auslöser der Erkrankung bisher unklar sind, ist eine Primärprophylaxe zur Vorbeugung bis heute leider nicht möglich. Dennoch gibt es Hinweise, dass Vitamin-D-Gaben, die auch zur Vorbeugung der Rachitis im ersten Lebensjahr dringend angezeigt sind (z. B. Vigonil Tropfen oder ähnliches), positiv wirken könnten und die Vorbeugung mit unterstützen. ## 5. Tipp: Frühzeitige Abklärung empfohlen Zahnerfärbungen und Schmelzbildungsstörungen haben oft unterschiedliche Gründe, nicht immer handelt es sich um Kariesäpfel. In jedem Fall sollten eine frühzeitige Untersuchung und Abklärung beim Zahnarzt erfolgen. Ganz besonders, wenn die Zähne anfällig empfindlich oder schmerzhaft sind. Nur dieser kann entscheiden, welche Störung vorliegt und welche Behandlung am Erfolg versprechendsten ist. Für die regelmäßige sorgfaltige, tägliche Zahnhygiene, am besten mit dem sensitiven elektrischen Zahnbürsten (ApaCare Sonic), sollten unbedingt fluoridhaltige Zahnpasten, am besten in Kombination mit flüssigem Zahnschmelz, wie ApaCare Zahnschmelz eingesetzt werden. Flüssiger Zahnschmelz ist der Stoff, aus dem die Zähne sind, eben das, was bei Kariesdürren fehlt.

[ Chalk teeth, Enamel formation disorders, Hypomineralization, MIH ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/chalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih/) # Chalk teeth Enamel formation disorders Hypomineralisation ### A guide ### 1 #### Tip ## Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions. One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth. There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses. ### 2 #### Tip ## Frequency and complications In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of 10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in their permanent teeth. Approximately 10% to 15% of this age group worldwide suffer from MIH (chalk teeth); 5% in a severe form. A frequent complication is early superimposed, usually rapidly progressing caries in the affected areas. In severe cases, the affected teeth are often very sensitive or painful. This can lead to functional limitations when chewing and often to social problems (appearance). ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fchalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih-23main-navigation-menu-65388.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear The frequency of cases has risen sharply since the 1980s, so that in the early days, environmental influences and pesticides were seen as the main possible causes. This could not be scientifically confirmed. Today, it is assumed that a combination of several causes could be responsible. In particular, early childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, probably together with a genetic predisposition. Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also being discussed. ### 4 #### Tip ## Causal prevention is almost impossible As the causative factors and triggers of the disease have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for prevention is unfortunately still not possible. Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops or similar), could have a positive effect and help to prevent the disease. ### 5 #### Tip ## Early clarification recommended Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often have different causes and are not always due to chalky teeth. In any case, an early examination and clarification should be carried out by a dentist. Especially if the teeth are persistently sensitive or painful. Only the dentist can differentiate which disorder is present and which treatment is most promising. For regular, thorough daily tooth cleaning, preferably with sensitive electric toothbrushes (ApaCare Sonic), it is essential to use fluoride toothpastes, ideally in combination with liquid enamel, such as ApaCare toothpaste. Liquid enamel is the stuff that teeth are made of, the very thing that is missing in chalky teeth. ### 6 #### Tip ## Professional treatment at homeLiquid enamel works best when it is applied to the affected teeth or dental arch in a highly concentrated form after brushing with intensive repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair using a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint). The recommended minimum application time is 20 minutes, the splint with the ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste can also be worn throughout the night. Repair enamel minerals from the liquid enamel attach to the tooth surface, penetrate it and "fuse" with it. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23header-main-search-input-65538.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. [ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for dry mouth ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-dry-mouth/) # The 10 most important tips for dry mouth ### 1 #### Tip ## Saliva: the all-rounder in the oral cavity Humans have three large salivary glands, each located on both sides of the mouth. In addition, a large number of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and 1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous membranes with an adherent thin film. The composition of saliva is complex; the main components are water, organic components such as mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic components such as calcium and phosphate. The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, while it is greatly reduced at night. ### 2 #### Tip ## You can't eat without saliva Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible without the moisturising of the mucous membranes through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin to digest food. The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an important role in the perception of flavour. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of life and ### increase the risk of many oral diseases #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23header-main-search-input-65538.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry mouth. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone preparations) also often correlate with a transitional dry mouth. Older people are often affected, but up to 10% of young adults also appear to suffer from dry mouth to a greater or lesser extent. ### 5 #### Tip ## Dry mouth as a disease Persistent dry mouth is often the result of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, a concomitant symptom of a disease of the salivary glands, a consequence of salivary gland tumours or diabetes. In Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease, a chronic inflammatory reaction leads to the destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Post-menopausal women in particular can be affected. ### 6 #### Tip ## Many medications can lead to dry mouth as an undesirable side effect Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23header-main-search-input-65538.txt Page: 1 Context: Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: Antihypertensives (blood pressure-lowering drugs), beta-blockers, antidepressants, psychotropic drugs, antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs), antiepileptic drugs, drugs for Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, painkillers from the opiate group, tranquillisers and sleeping pills, diuretics (diuretic drugs), but also antiemetics (anti-nausea drugs, travel sickness) can lead to (greatly) reduced salivation. ### 7 #### Tip ## Home remedy for dry mouth The obligatory glass of water on the lectern is said to alleviate the dry mouth of the often excited speaker, facilitate the flow of speech and prevent hoarseness. It also helps to drink enough throughout the day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. In general, food should be chewed thoroughly. Stimulants such as excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol should be avoided and smoking should be reduced or even stopped. Salty, spicy and strongly flavoured foods should also be avoided. Particularly in winter, care should be taken to ensure that rooms, especially bedrooms, are sufficiently humidified and regularly ventilated. Regularly chewing sugar-free chewing gum (e.g. ApaCare Gum) or lozenges (e.g. Xerodent) stimulates the flow of saliva. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23header-main-search-input-65538.txt Page: 1 Context: ## 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). ### 9 #### Tip ## Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitisEnamel minerals such as hydroxyapatite from ApaCare toothpaste are deposited on the tooth surface as an additional protective layer during tooth brushing, which reinforces or partially replaces the function of saliva on the tooth surface. 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. 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. ## When should a doctor be consulted? 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23header-main-search-input-65538.txt Page: 1 Context: . 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## What else can be done After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists. Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing . ## Living with dry mouth Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth. As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-65232.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. [ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for white teeth and whitening ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening/) # The 10 most important tips for white teeth and whitening ### 1 #### Tip ## Bright white, yellow or brownish? Where does tooth colour or discolouration come from? Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin . The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through. As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc. Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains . fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-65232.txt Page: 1 Context: Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity). ### 2 #### Tip ## Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth 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). ### 3 #### Tip ## How to whiten teeth In traditional bleaching, the tooth surfaces are treated with oxygen-releasing bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in various formulations. Their effect can be enhanced by laser light, blue light or heat. The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and structural changes. The light is reflected closer to the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear brighter and (opaque) whiter. In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to remineralisation effects from the saliva and toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for years. **Expert tip** In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth necks or canines can hardly be whitened. Fillings and dentures cannot be whitened either. ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-65232.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince the Cosmetics Ordinance was amended in 2012, toothpastes for home use may only contain hydrogen peroxide up to a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Its bleaching effect is therefore limited to insignificant effects. What remains is a certain acidic effect and, with regular use, a roughening of the tooth surface (increased build-up of colour deposits). bleaching agents from the trade are also low in concentration and therefore limited in their effect. Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on the teeth. Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct (responsible) bleaching technique. In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) suspended. **Expert tip** Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it. Colouring foods and stimulants such as coffee, tea or nicotine stains often adhere to the tooth surface. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bleaching at the dentist The stronger dental bleaching agents act evenly over the tooth surface and penetrate deeper into the enamel layer. The bleaching result is therefore more intensive, more even and lasts longer. The in-office application is often intensified over several days using dental bleaching trays and additional home bleaching pastes directly after the dental appointment at home (leave bleaching agent with bleaching tray to work overnight). Repeated bleaching is also possible. However, several months should be allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover through remineralisation from the saliva. At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very important to close the roughness and pores on the surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and the bleaching result lasts as long as possible. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-65232.txt Page: 1 Context: This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night for at least one week, preferably several. the bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). The resulting deposition of white medical hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth surface additionally favours the bleaching result. It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with lighter ones after bleaching . Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit . ### 6 #### Tip ## Gentle tooth whitening through surface treatment Another way to whiten teeth is to compact the tooth surface, enrich it with minerals and smooth it. The structural damage described with conventional bleaching does not occur; on the contrary, the surface of the teeth is thickened and the whitening result lasts longer. However, the effect takes longer to appear and is less intense. This is achieved by regularly applying tooth repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste) daily (overnight) using a dental tray (ApaCare Repair dental tray). The superficial light reflections on the condensed tooth surface lead to more lustre and natural brightness. Dental plaque can also adhere less, which also supports the effects. Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit. ### 7 #### Tip ## What to do if the tooth is discoloured from the inside? Internal tooth discolouration can indeed occur, for example, due to the death of nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth or reactions from (root canal) filling materials. Some of these are also congenital, caused by side effects of medication or accompanying symptoms of malformations. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-65232.txt Page: 1 Context: The usually dark, blackish-grey discolouration of decayed pulp tissue can often be bleached very successfully from the inside out. The dentist first checks the root canal filling, which often needs to be replaced before internal bleaching. A permanent bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth over a period of several days to a week and the tooth is sealed. This so-called walking bleaching technique involves a continuous release of oxygen from the bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time in most cases. ### 8 #### Tip ## What to do if stains occur during bleaching? If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel surface. In this case, it is strongly advisable not to apply bleaching agent again in order to prevent further staining. These effects usually disappear within weeks due to the natural remineralisation effects of saliva. This can be supported and accelerated by applying enamel pastes / repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, preferably using a dental tray (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental tray). ### 9 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Tips for periodontitis/gum inflammation ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation/) # The 10 most important tips for dental care ### 1 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, slightly stippled and do not bleed when touched or brushed. The "red aesthetic" is a very important factor for a radiantly beautiful smile. ### 2 #### Tip ## 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. Gum inflammation can also be the result of hormonal interactions (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, etc.) or occur in conjunction with general illnesses (e.g. diabetes) or drug interactions (e.g. antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc.). **Expert tip** Bleeding gums can usually be successfully treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Thorough tooth brushing is the best way to prevent it (see ApaCare Dental health guide). ### 3 #### Tip ## Bone loss is irreversible! #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-65203.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Periodontitis is often the result of a hereditary predisposition and can be favoured by general illnesses or lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and above all stress. ### 4 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Once periodontitis - always periodontitis Anyone who suffers from periodontitis once is usually affected for life. The causes cannot be cured. However, modern dentistry can effectively stop the progression of the disease in most cases through recurring preventive treatments. ### 5 #### Tip ## Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-65203.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## 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). (see ApaCare Guide to sensitive teeth) **Expert tip** Exposed tooth necks can often be left as they are. The affected teeth are generally not at risk of additional loss. In the case of visual impairments, these can be covered very successfully by microsurgical gum displacement or gum grafting. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** The earlier periodontitis is recognised and treated, the better the prognosis for long-term tooth preservation. ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern dentistry allows for very targeted diagnostics. Precise knowledge of the individual risk factors is crucial for successful treatment. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-65203.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern periodontitis treatment is generally painless or painless with a gentle anaesthetic (dental injection). After-effects are extremely rare. ### 9 #### Tip ## 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-65203.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Professional tooth cleaning at the dentist alone is often not enough to halt the progression of periodontal disease, as it does not affect the inflammatory reactions in the depths of the gum pockets. The first UPT usually takes place 6 - 8 weeks after the initial periodontitis therapy, then after 3, 6 to 12 months. It is important that the dentist reassesses the risk of disease progression from time to time (general illnesses, stress, living conditions, medication, hormone status, etc.) and then adjusts the intervals individually. For a lifetime. ### 10 #### Tip ## 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.

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. 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](https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619)). 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: Modern toothpastes ([ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria. growth of health-promoting bacteria. Especially those in the mouth that play an important role in lowering high blood pressure and the prevention of diabetes; as a preventative measure or as an adjunct to therapy with the everyday measure of "brushing your teeth". Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, we recommend floss is best for teenagers and young adults. If you have receding gums, periodontitis or dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not get stuck). If you suffer from bad breath, you should clean your tongue daily, preferably with a toothpaste with a probiotic effect (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush and[ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)). **Expert tip** Targeted and thorough cleaning helps more than quick and frequent cleaning. Liquid tooth enamel (ApaCare) strengthens the teeth. Probiotic active ingredients (ApaCare OraLactin ) promote dental, oral and general health. All tooth surfaces must be reached "mechanically" and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must "work in" (do not rinse after brushing your teeth). ### 1 #### Tip ## The right toothbrush There is no longer any doubt: machine, electric toothbrushes clean better than manual toothbrushes, from toddlers to senior citizens. manual toothbrushes. This is mainly due to the fact that the rapid bristle movements clean better and the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes is partially the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: [ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) 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. **Expert tip** Fluoride and liquid enamel! We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dental plaque. What to do? If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244). ApaCare [Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home. Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. **Expert tip** Polishing pastes such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week. ### 4 #### Tip ## White teeth without a guilty conscience Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as [ApaCare Repair](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) Intensive Repair: The enamel surface is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see [ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-fuer-weisse-zaehne-und-zum-bleichen/)). This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g. with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint ([ApaCare Repair dental splint](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)). ### 5 #### Tip ## Perhaps the most important thing: new probiotics New scientific findings make us rethink: Many previous antibacterial oral hygiene measures inhibit both the pathogenic and the good bacteria and can therefore neither preventively stabilise the balance of healthy oral flora nor restore it after illness. New probiotics such as OraLactin contain health-promoting, live bacteria that use inhibitors or enzymes to selectively inhibit or kill the growth of specific pathogens. At the same time, they improve the body's barrier function and stimulate the immune defence. A healthy oral flora is often restored after just 2-4 weeks of regular use of the probiotic. Ideal as a 30-day cure in the form of [chewable pastilles](https://www.apacare.com/OraLactin-Chewable-pastilles/1100021) or [sachets](https://www.apacare.com/Oral-probiotic.-Sachets/1100020) (see [Pro-, Pre- and Postbiotics guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-zahngesundheit-und-probiotika/)). ## The probiotic effect #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: ## The probiotic effect Prebiotics are natural substances (selective nutrients for the good guys) that promote the growth of healthy oral bacteria. Postbiotics are inactivated bacteria and bioactive substances that can restore the balance of healthy oral flora by selectively inhibiting pathogenic germs. Both are contained in the new [OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) and the [ApaCare OraLactin Liqiud](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced), so you can benefit from them every day. **Expert tip** Prevention and health promotion without extra effort - when brushing your teeth every day. ApaCare OraLactin Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: 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** Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach. ### 7 #### 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](https://www.apacare.com/Anti-caries-chewing-gum/1100003), are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay. **Expert tip** Several times a year: Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day. Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day. ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. 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. Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. 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 [dry mouth guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/)). 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. **Expert tip** Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day ([ApaCare OraLactin Liquid](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced) 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. ### 9 #### Tip ## What to do with sensitive teeth The actual body of the tooth (the dentin) is permeated with many small fluid-filled canals right up to the "nerve" inside the tooth. The overlying enamel is thin or patchy, especially at the neck of the tooth. Ice, but also sweet foods or stimulants that come into contact with the neck of the tooth can trigger shooting pain via the tubules to the "nerve". The tooth and the nerves do not suffer, but those affected do. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: Permanent relief is achieved when the tubules are permanently sealed on the surface. The most sustainable way to achieve this is with liquid enamel, preferably in the [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) or using [ApaCare mineralising tooth varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200) (see [guide to sensitive teeth](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zu-empfindlichen-zaehnen-und-abnutzung/)). **Expert tip** If you have sensitive teeth, apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) 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](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)) or by means of [ApaCare mineralising dental varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200). ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if your gums are bleeding or receding Bleeding gums and receding gums are common symptoms of periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Diseases of the periodontium very often begin unrecognised and progress gradually. Only a dentist can rule out such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the event of gum changes before the bony periodontium becomes inflamed and irreversibly degraded by the body. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23main-navigation-menu-65432.txt Page: 1 Context: Ultimately, only a dentist can prevent further progression of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets and tooth root surfaces must also be treated in depth (see [ApaCare Periodontitis guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-parodontitis-zahnfleischentzuendung/)). **Expert tip** Home dental care alone cannot stop the progression of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-up and cleaning intervals at the dentist to sensible intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progression and risk of the disease).

[ Chalk teeth, Enamel formation disorders, Hypomineralization, MIH ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/chalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih/) # Chalk teeth Enamel formation disorders Hypomineralisation ### A guide ### 1 #### Tip ## Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions. One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth. There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses. ### 2 #### Tip ## Frequency and complications In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of 10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in their permanent teeth. Approximately 10% to 15% of this age group worldwide suffer from MIH (chalk teeth); 5% in a severe form. A frequent complication is early superimposed, usually rapidly progressing caries in the affected areas. In severe cases, the affected teeth are often very sensitive or painful. This can lead to functional limitations when chewing and often to social problems (appearance). ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fchalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih-23header-main-search-input-65339.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear The frequency of cases has risen sharply since the 1980s, so that in the early days, environmental influences and pesticides were seen as the main possible causes. This could not be scientifically confirmed. Today, it is assumed that a combination of several causes could be responsible. In particular, early childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, probably together with a genetic predisposition. Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also being discussed. ### 4 #### Tip ## Causal prevention is almost impossible As the causative factors and triggers of the disease have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for prevention is unfortunately still not possible. Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops or similar), could have a positive effect and help to prevent the disease. ### 5 #### Tip ## Early clarification recommended Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often have different causes and are not always due to chalky teeth. In any case, an early examination and clarification should be carried out by a dentist. Especially if the teeth are persistently sensitive or painful. Only the dentist can differentiate which disorder is present and which treatment is most promising. For regular, thorough daily tooth cleaning, preferably with sensitive electric toothbrushes (ApaCare Sonic), it is essential to use fluoride toothpastes, ideally in combination with liquid enamel, such as ApaCare toothpaste. Liquid enamel is the stuff that teeth are made of, the very thing that is missing in chalky teeth. ### 6 #### Tip ## Professional treatment at homeLiquid enamel works best when it is applied to the affected teeth or dental arch in a highly concentrated form after brushing with intensive repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair using a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint). The recommended minimum application time is 20 minutes, the splint with the ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste can also be worn throughout the night. Repair enamel minerals from the liquid enamel attach to the tooth surface, penetrate it and "fuse" with it. #################### File: kielbassa_jod_2011_neue_Version-pdf.pdf Page: 7 Context: ournalofDentistry2009;37:522–6.18.TschoppeP,Meyer-LueckelH,TollR,KielbassaAM.Invitroanalysisofanewsalivasubstitute(Salivanatura)onenamelanddentin.Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie2007;86:723–7.19.Meyer-LueckelH,ChatzidakisAJ,KielbassaAM.Effectofvariouscalcium/phosphatesratiosofcarboxymethylcellulose-basedsalivasubstitutesonminerallossofbovineenamelinvitro.JournalofDentistry2007;35:851–7.20.TschoppeP,Meyer-LueckelH,KielbassaAM.Effectofcarboxymethylcellulose-basedsalivasubstitutesonpredemineraliseddentinevaluatedbymicroradiography.ArchivesofOralBiology2008;53:250–6.21.BuskesJA,ChristoffersenJ,ArendsJ.Lesionformationandlesionremineralizationinenamelunderconstantcompositionconditionsanewtechniquewithapplication.CariesResearch1985;19:490–6.22.TschoppeP,NeumannK,MuellerJ,KielbassaAM.Effectoffluoridatedbleachinggelsontheremineralizationofpredemineralizedbovineenamelinvitro.JournalofDentistry2009;37:156–62.23.Meyer-LueckelH,TschoppeP,KielbassaAM.Linseedbasedsalivasubstitutesandtheireffectonmineraldissolutionofpredemineralizedbovinedentininvitro.JournalofDentistry2006;34:751–6.24.TschoppeP,KielbassaAM.Remineralizationofbovineenamelsubsurfacelesions:effectsofdifferentcalcium-phosphatesaturationsinbufferedaqueoussolutions.QuintessenceInternational2011;42:501–14.25.KielbassaAM.Insituinduceddemineralizationinirradiatedandnon-irradiatedhumandentin.EuropeanJournalofOralSciences2000;108:214–21.journalofdentistry39(2011)430–437436 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23main-navigation-menu-65585.txt Page: 1 Context: 1.

[ Tips for white teeth and whitening ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening/) # The 10 most important tips for white teeth and whitening ### 1 #### Tip ## Bright white, yellow or brownish? Where does tooth colour or discolouration come from? Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin . The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through. As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc. Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains . fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23main-navigation-menu-65585.txt Page: 1 Context: Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity). ### 2 #### Tip ## Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth 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). ### 3 #### Tip ## How to whiten teeth In traditional bleaching, the tooth surfaces are treated with oxygen-releasing bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in various formulations. Their effect can be enhanced by laser light, blue light or heat. The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and structural changes. The light is reflected closer to the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear brighter and (opaque) whiter. In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to remineralisation effects from the saliva and toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for years. **Expert tip** In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth necks or canines can hardly be whitened. Fillings and dentures cannot be whitened either. ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23main-navigation-menu-65585.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince the Cosmetics Ordinance was amended in 2012, toothpastes for home use may only contain hydrogen peroxide up to a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Its bleaching effect is therefore limited to insignificant effects. What remains is a certain acidic effect and, with regular use, a roughening of the tooth surface (increased build-up of colour deposits). bleaching agents from the trade are also low in concentration and therefore limited in their effect. Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on the teeth. Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct (responsible) bleaching technique. In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) suspended. **Expert tip** Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it. Colouring foods and stimulants such as coffee, tea or nicotine stains often adhere to the tooth surface. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bleaching at the dentist The stronger dental bleaching agents act evenly over the tooth surface and penetrate deeper into the enamel layer. The bleaching result is therefore more intensive, more even and lasts longer. The in-office application is often intensified over several days using dental bleaching trays and additional home bleaching pastes directly after the dental appointment at home (leave bleaching agent with bleaching tray to work overnight). Repeated bleaching is also possible. However, several months should be allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover through remineralisation from the saliva. At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very important to close the roughness and pores on the surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and the bleaching result lasts as long as possible. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23main-navigation-menu-65585.txt Page: 1 Context: This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night for at least one week, preferably several. the bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). The resulting deposition of white medical hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth surface additionally favours the bleaching result. It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with lighter ones after bleaching . Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit . ### 6 #### Tip ## Gentle tooth whitening through surface treatment Another way to whiten teeth is to compact the tooth surface, enrich it with minerals and smooth it. The structural damage described with conventional bleaching does not occur; on the contrary, the surface of the teeth is thickened and the whitening result lasts longer. However, the effect takes longer to appear and is less intense. This is achieved by regularly applying tooth repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste) daily (overnight) using a dental tray (ApaCare Repair dental tray). The superficial light reflections on the condensed tooth surface lead to more lustre and natural brightness. Dental plaque can also adhere less, which also supports the effects. Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit. ### 7 #### Tip ## What to do if the tooth is discoloured from the inside? Internal tooth discolouration can indeed occur, for example, due to the death of nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth or reactions from (root canal) filling materials. Some of these are also congenital, caused by side effects of medication or accompanying symptoms of malformations. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23main-navigation-menu-65585.txt Page: 1 Context: The usually dark, blackish-grey discolouration of decayed pulp tissue can often be bleached very successfully from the inside out. The dentist first checks the root canal filling, which often needs to be replaced before internal bleaching. A permanent bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth over a period of several days to a week and the tooth is sealed. This so-called walking bleaching technique involves a continuous release of oxygen from the bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time in most cases. ### 8 #### Tip ## What to do if stains occur during bleaching? If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel surface. In this case, it is strongly advisable not to apply bleaching agent again in order to prevent further staining. These effects usually disappear within weeks due to the natural remineralisation effects of saliva. This can be supported and accelerated by applying enamel pastes / repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, preferably using a dental tray (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental tray). ### 9 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips on sensitive teeth and abrasion ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion/) # The 10 most important tips for sensitive teeth and wear and tear ### 1 #### Tip ## Brushing instead of scrubbing **Tooth wear** can occur in various forms and due to different causes. Combinations of different factors are often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects (indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** **Expert tip** When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard (gums become just whitish under the toothbrush). ### 2 #### Tip ## Stress and aggression damage the teeth Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to extensive grinding. **Expert tip** Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted element in the nervous system for processing tension and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation (relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). ### 3 #### Tip ## Tooth wear due to poor diet So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-65207.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth wear within a short period of time, which the dentist is often powerless to prevent. Late consequences can include a lowered bite or temporomandibular joint problems, which often require extensive restorative treatment. Early dental clarification and nutritional counselling is recommended. ### 4 #### Tip ## Acids dissolve tooth enamel So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid (reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention is the daily application of repair paste such as ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after brushing your teeth. **Expert tip** You should refrain from brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks (wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them thoroughly beforehand. ### 5 #### Tip ## Tooth malformation / stained teeth Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally different from signs of wear and tear, are **"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes being discussed being genetic malformations and anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, side effects of medication, trauma or environmental influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the first molars (molars) in the posterior region are affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel formation disorders hypomineralisation). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-65207.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Those affected should seek professional advice from a dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride combination preparations in infants (first year of life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely brownish enamel stains). ### 6 #### Tip ## Why tooth necks can become sensitive Sensitive tooth necks are widespread. It is estimated that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this area, into which nerve processes radiate from the inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these stimuli. **Expert tip** Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride (ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. ### 7 #### Tip ## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss? Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp (intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity is therefore based on the individual suffering of the affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there should be a significant and lasting improvement. **Expert tip** First of all, it is very important to eliminate or minimise the causative factors. This applies in particular to the cause of signs of wear in the cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or whitening toothpastes. ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-65207.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various active ingredients that are intended to dampen hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often does not work in the long term. The most effective way to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush bottle). This sticks for a few hours to days and often provides immediate and lasting relief. Both ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste and ApaCare tooth varnish contain micro-fine enamel crystals that penetrate deep into the canals, fuse with the tooth and close the original open canals. **Expert tip** In severe cases or to intensify the treatment, we recommend using ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in conjunction with dental splints (ApaCare Repair dental splint), which are best worn overnight (everything you need is included in the ApaCare Sensitive Teeth Kit). ### 9 #### Tip ## What can the dentist do about hypersensitive teeth? Dentists can professionally seal the open dentin tubules. There is a wide range of sealing materials available for this purpose, from plastic adhesive (composite) to liquid enamel varnish (ApaCare dental varnish), which are applied to the affected tooth necks depending on the individual situation and are usually hardened. Cervical fillings or crowns are only required in rare cases. **Expert tip** Sensitive tooth necks can be professionally sealed very successfully. ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if none of this helps? Severe sensitivity to cold can also be the first signs of reversible or even irreversible dental neuritis. In contrast to hypersensitivity reactions, the cold pain in these cases often lasts longer or is accompanied by radiating pain in response to warm stimuli. Night pain often occurs and the painful region begins to radiate. Such symptoms of irreversible dental nerve inflammation should be immediately clarified by a dentist. #################### File: Ratgeber_allg-20Zahngesundheit_ApaCare_2023-12_EN-pdf.pdf Page: 1 Context: # ApaCare Dental Health Guide [www.apacare.com](http://www.apacare.com) ## Introduction Maintaining good oral health is essential for overall well-being. This guide provides you with tips and information to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy. ## Daily Dental Care 1. **Brush your teeth** at least twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste. 2. **Floss daily** to remove food particles and plaque between teeth. 3. **Mouthwash** can help reduce plaque and prevent gum disease. ## Regular Dental Visits - Schedule regular check-ups with your dentist, at least twice a year. - Professional cleanings can help maintain oral health. ## Healthy Eating Habits - Limit sugary snacks and beverages. - Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. ## Tips for Children - Establish a routine for brushing teeth early. - Make dental care fun to encourage kids to maintain good habits. ## Conclusion Good dental hygiene is essential for a healthy smile. Follow these guidelines for a lifetime of dental health. #################### File: Ratgeber_allg-20Zahngesundheit_ApaCare_2023-12_EN-pdf.pdf Page: 2 Context: # Healthy in the mouth. As soon as the first tooth has broken through, it’s a matter of **"brushing teeth"** for the rest of your life. Bacteria and plaque should be removed, and of course you want to smile brightly with shiny white teeth. Bacteria are often regarded as nasty, disease-causing germs. Yet humans and bacteria have developed together in the course of evolution and benefit from each other. Our oral bacteria support digestion and even the regulation of important body functions such as blood pressure. Regular antibacterial oral care measures, as they are still practiced on a large scale today, are rather harmful according to the latest studies. Rather, dental care focuses on mechanical 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 stabilized and maintained. Disease-causing bacterial species are thus not given a habitat. As a rule, it is sufficient to brush twice a day, preferably with a mechanic toothbrush and a good toothpaste, although you will certainly need the usual 3 minutes or even a little longer until all tooth surfaces are clean and the niches are reached. This is supported by the right care products, most simply in the form of toothpaste. The toothpaste should return to the tooth what is worn away from the tooth surface every day (e.g. ApAcar toothpaste). Very modern toothpaste can also guide the oral flora and stabilize a healthy colonisation (Oralactin toothpaste). Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, it is best to use a slippery dental floss. In case of receding gums or periodontitis as well as dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not jam). If you suffer from bad breath, you should brush your tongue daily (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush). ## Expert Tip: Targeted and thorough helps more than often and quickly. Brushing your teeth more than twice a day is usually unnecessary. All tooth surfaces must be reached **mechanically** and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must **take effect**.

If you do not brush your teeth regularly, you risk plaque, discolouration, or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Also, medicines or mouth rinses, e.g., those based on chlorhexidine, can lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. Especially in the early stages, this can be prevented and often removed with a tooth polishing paste such as ApaCare Polish. **ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste** is used 1–2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus complements it. This way, you can consistently continue the professional tooth cleaning from the dentist at home. --- Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional tooth cleaning. --- ### Expert Tip: Home polishing pastes complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional teeth cleaning. Polish teeth 1–2 times a week.

Light reflection effects on the tooth surface, as well as the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel, allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less depending on the thickness of the enamel. At the neck of the tooth, the enamel is thinner and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer decreases, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. Bleaching roughens the enamel prisms and makes the tooth surface porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This also changes the reflection behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth, and this persists. ## Expert Tip: Apply ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g., with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint set).

The regular consumption of sugar not only promotes the development of caries but also favours the development and progression of receding gums and periodontitis. Impure skin and even acne are also associated with a high-sugar diet, and the development and progression of metabolic diseases and even diabetes can be accelerated. By the way: Almost all sugar substitutes (except for xylitol and erythritol) and also fructose have a similar effect. Often, the hidden sweeteners are predominantly in drinks, including light drinks and convenience foods. Speaking of fruits: these, like acidic drinks, can promote tooth wear and enamel erosion, which is why you should not brush your teeth for up to 2 hours after eating them. Food can also heal, even reduce inflammation: the quickest way to do this is to reduce the total daily calorie count (e.g. minimize carbohydrate consumption and avoid “sweet” snacks in particular). At the same time, it is recommended to select fats (e.g. cooking with rapeseed oil, preferential consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids in fatty sea fish, avocado, nuts, etc.) and to avoid the consumption of saturated fatty acids of animal and plant origin (palm kernel fat, coconut fat, etc.). Many plants and herbs contain so-called secondary plant substances, such as spinach or blueberries, which can additionally improve oral health if consumed regularly. ## Expert Tip: Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimize snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries (e.g. blueberries) or spinach more often.

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. By the way, this 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 sweetened exclusively with xylitol (birch sugar) in high amounts are particularly recommended, such as for example ApaCare Gum chewing gums. Used regularly, they can be very effective in preventing caries. ### Expert Tip: **Several times a year:** Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). **Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults:** Chew 3x2 ApaCare Gum chewing gums daily. **Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12 years of age:** Chew 1 ApaCare Gum 3 times a day.

Saliva is a multi-talent. Normally, between 700ml and 1 litre of saliva is produced during the day, more with chewing, less at night. Without saliva, you cannot eat because the food sticks to the mucous membranes and cannot be swallowed. But the mineral balance of the teeth is also maintained by remineralisation from saliva, acids are neutralised, flavours and immune substances are transported and much more. Dry mouth can severely impair the quality of life, up to and including painful burning of the mouth and tongue, and promotes inflammatory diseases. ## Causes of Dry Mouth The causes of dry mouth can be manifold: - Lack of fluids - Breathing through the mouth - Stress - Stimulants such as cigarettes or alcohol - Medication intake - Hormone status - After-effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy - Autoimmune diseases - Cancer If the symptoms persist, a medical examination should be carried out in any case (see advice on dry mouth). ## Relief Methods Relief is achieved by drinking regularly and sufficiently throughout the day, especially with meals, by reducing consumption of coffee, alcohol, and cigarettes, and by avoiding highly spiced or salted foods. Chewing gum and lozenges also promote salivation. ## Expert Tip Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations (such as Gengigel from the pharmacy) as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4–6 times a day is particularly helpful. Gengigel contains natural hyaluronic acid, which binds water and moisture to the upper layer of the mucous membrane.

Very often, diseases of the periodontium begin undetected and progress insidiously. Only the dentist can exclude such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the case of gum changes, before the bony periodontium is inflamed and irreversibly broken down by the body. Ultimately, only the dentist can prevent further progress of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out a so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets down to the fundus must also be treated (see ApaCare Periodontitis Guide). ## Expert Tip Dental care at home alone cannot stop the progress of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-ups and cleanings at the dentist to reasonable intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progress and risk of the disease).

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Bad breath tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/bad-breath-tips/) # The 10 most important tips for bad breath ### 1 #### Tip ## Not all bad breath is the same 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. **There are two forms of persistent bad breath:** 1. 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. 2. 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## Around one in four adults is affected 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). **Expert tip** Co-factors such as stress or an unbalanced diet or dry mouth can promote bad breath. ### 3 #### Tip ## Musty-rancid to fishy or faecal odour 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. The oral cavity and pharynx offer ideal conditions for this with the many niches and roughnesses on the teeth, tongue and tonsils. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23main-navigation-menu-65262.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Other causes of bad breath * Disease of the periodontium (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries) * Reduced saliva flow (dry mouth), also in connection with mouth breathing, snoring or taking certain medications such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc. * Bacterial inflammation of the mouth and throat such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, etc. * Very rare: Tumours in the mouth and throat area * Lung diseases such as bronchitis **Expert tip** Diseases of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach, intestines), infections such as Helicobacter pylori, diabetes mellitus or poisoning (phosphorus, arsenic, selenium) are only the cause of unpleasant bad breath in a few exceptional cases. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bad breath can be imagined Some people perceive bad breath in themselves, although objectively there is no bad breath (halitophobia). This can trigger anxiety and even lead to obsessive thoughts or actions. **Expert tip** Bad breath can be measured. The most accurate way is to have your breath analysed by gas chromatography, for example at the dentist. Simply speak to your dentist at your next visit. That way you can be absolutely sure! ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Effective treatment of bad breath raises the self-esteem of those affected and improves their quality of life in the long term. ### 7 #### Tip ## The best way to prevent bad breath #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23main-navigation-menu-65262.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Brush your teeth twice a day! 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. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes (e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very effective way of preventing tartar. ### 9 #### Tip ## Focus on the tongue 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23main-navigation-menu-65262.txt Page: 1 Context: #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) Regular use of natural probiotics such as OraLactin can have a particularly lasting effect on reducing harmful microorganisms or those associated with bad breath.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for dry mouth ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-dry-mouth/) # The 10 most important tips for dry mouth ### 1 #### Tip ## Saliva: the all-rounder in the oral cavity Humans have three large salivary glands, each located on both sides of the mouth. In addition, a large number of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and 1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous membranes with an adherent thin film. The composition of saliva is complex; the main components are water, organic components such as mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic components such as calcium and phosphate. The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, while it is greatly reduced at night. ### 2 #### Tip ## You can't eat without saliva Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible without the moisturising of the mucous membranes through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin to digest food. The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an important role in the perception of flavour. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of life and ### increase the risk of many oral diseases #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23ccm19-65560.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry mouth. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone preparations) also often correlate with a transitional dry mouth. Older people are often affected, but up to 10% of young adults also appear to suffer from dry mouth to a greater or lesser extent. ### 5 #### Tip ## Dry mouth as a disease Persistent dry mouth is often the result of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, a concomitant symptom of a disease of the salivary glands, a consequence of salivary gland tumours or diabetes. In Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease, a chronic inflammatory reaction leads to the destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Post-menopausal women in particular can be affected. ### 6 #### Tip ## Many medications can lead to dry mouth as an undesirable side effect Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23ccm19-65560.txt Page: 1 Context: Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: Antihypertensives (blood pressure-lowering drugs), beta-blockers, antidepressants, psychotropic drugs, antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs), antiepileptic drugs, drugs for Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, painkillers from the opiate group, tranquillisers and sleeping pills, diuretics (diuretic drugs), but also antiemetics (anti-nausea drugs, travel sickness) can lead to (greatly) reduced salivation. ### 7 #### Tip ## Home remedy for dry mouth The obligatory glass of water on the lectern is said to alleviate the dry mouth of the often excited speaker, facilitate the flow of speech and prevent hoarseness. It also helps to drink enough throughout the day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. In general, food should be chewed thoroughly. Stimulants such as excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol should be avoided and smoking should be reduced or even stopped. Salty, spicy and strongly flavoured foods should also be avoided. Particularly in winter, care should be taken to ensure that rooms, especially bedrooms, are sufficiently humidified and regularly ventilated. Regularly chewing sugar-free chewing gum (e.g. ApaCare Gum) or lozenges (e.g. Xerodent) stimulates the flow of saliva. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23ccm19-65560.txt Page: 1 Context: ## 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). ### 9 #### Tip ## Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitisEnamel minerals such as hydroxyapatite from ApaCare toothpaste are deposited on the tooth surface as an additional protective layer during tooth brushing, which reinforces or partially replaces the function of saliva on the tooth surface. 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. 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. ## When should a doctor be consulted? 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23ccm19-65560.txt Page: 1 Context: . 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## What else can be done After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists. Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing . ## Living with dry mouth Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth. As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-65199.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. [ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Bad breath tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/bad-breath-tips/) # The 10 most important tips for bad breath ### 1 #### Tip ## Not all bad breath is the same 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. **There are two forms of persistent bad breath:** 1. 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. 2. 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## Around one in four adults is affected 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). **Expert tip** Co-factors such as stress or an unbalanced diet or dry mouth can promote bad breath. ### 3 #### Tip ## Musty-rancid to fishy or faecal odour 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. The oral cavity and pharynx offer ideal conditions for this with the many niches and roughnesses on the teeth, tongue and tonsils. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-65199.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Other causes of bad breath * Disease of the periodontium (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries) * Reduced saliva flow (dry mouth), also in connection with mouth breathing, snoring or taking certain medications such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc. * Bacterial inflammation of the mouth and throat such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, etc. * Very rare: Tumours in the mouth and throat area * Lung diseases such as bronchitis **Expert tip** Diseases of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach, intestines), infections such as Helicobacter pylori, diabetes mellitus or poisoning (phosphorus, arsenic, selenium) are only the cause of unpleasant bad breath in a few exceptional cases. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bad breath can be imagined Some people perceive bad breath in themselves, although objectively there is no bad breath (halitophobia). This can trigger anxiety and even lead to obsessive thoughts or actions. **Expert tip** Bad breath can be measured. The most accurate way is to have your breath analysed by gas chromatography, for example at the dentist. Simply speak to your dentist at your next visit. That way you can be absolutely sure! ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Effective treatment of bad breath raises the self-esteem of those affected and improves their quality of life in the long term. ### 7 #### Tip ## The best way to prevent bad breath #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-65199.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## 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.

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. 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](https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619)). 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: Modern toothpastes ([ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria. growth of health-promoting bacteria. Especially those in the mouth that play an important role in lowering high blood pressure and the prevention of diabetes; as a preventative measure or as an adjunct to therapy with the everyday measure of "brushing your teeth". Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, we recommend floss is best for teenagers and young adults. If you have receding gums, periodontitis or dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not get stuck). If you suffer from bad breath, you should clean your tongue daily, preferably with a toothpaste with a probiotic effect (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush and[ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)). **Expert tip** Targeted and thorough cleaning helps more than quick and frequent cleaning. Liquid tooth enamel (ApaCare) strengthens the teeth. Probiotic active ingredients (ApaCare OraLactin ) promote dental, oral and general health. All tooth surfaces must be reached "mechanically" and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must "work in" (do not rinse after brushing your teeth). ### 1 #### Tip ## The right toothbrush There is no longer any doubt: machine, electric toothbrushes clean better than manual toothbrushes, from toddlers to senior citizens. manual toothbrushes. This is mainly due to the fact that the rapid bristle movements clean better and the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes is partially the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: [ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) 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. **Expert tip** Fluoride and liquid enamel! We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dental plaque. What to do? If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244). ApaCare [Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home. Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. **Expert tip** Polishing pastes such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week. ### 4 #### Tip ## White teeth without a guilty conscience Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as [ApaCare Repair](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) Intensive Repair: The enamel surface is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see [ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-fuer-weisse-zaehne-und-zum-bleichen/)). This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g. with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint ([ApaCare Repair dental splint](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)). ### 5 #### Tip ## Perhaps the most important thing: new probiotics New scientific findings make us rethink: Many previous antibacterial oral hygiene measures inhibit both the pathogenic and the good bacteria and can therefore neither preventively stabilise the balance of healthy oral flora nor restore it after illness. New probiotics such as OraLactin contain health-promoting, live bacteria that use inhibitors or enzymes to selectively inhibit or kill the growth of specific pathogens. At the same time, they improve the body's barrier function and stimulate the immune defence. A healthy oral flora is often restored after just 2-4 weeks of regular use of the probiotic. Ideal as a 30-day cure in the form of [chewable pastilles](https://www.apacare.com/OraLactin-Chewable-pastilles/1100021) or [sachets](https://www.apacare.com/Oral-probiotic.-Sachets/1100020) (see [Pro-, Pre- and Postbiotics guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-zahngesundheit-und-probiotika/)). ## The probiotic effect #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: ## The probiotic effect Prebiotics are natural substances (selective nutrients for the good guys) that promote the growth of healthy oral bacteria. Postbiotics are inactivated bacteria and bioactive substances that can restore the balance of healthy oral flora by selectively inhibiting pathogenic germs. Both are contained in the new [OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) and the [ApaCare OraLactin Liqiud](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced), so you can benefit from them every day. **Expert tip** Prevention and health promotion without extra effort - when brushing your teeth every day. ApaCare OraLactin Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: 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** Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach. ### 7 #### 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](https://www.apacare.com/Anti-caries-chewing-gum/1100003), are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay. **Expert tip** Several times a year: Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day. Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day. ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. 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. Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. 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 [dry mouth guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/)). 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. **Expert tip** Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day ([ApaCare OraLactin Liquid](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced) 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. ### 9 #### Tip ## What to do with sensitive teeth The actual body of the tooth (the dentin) is permeated with many small fluid-filled canals right up to the "nerve" inside the tooth. The overlying enamel is thin or patchy, especially at the neck of the tooth. Ice, but also sweet foods or stimulants that come into contact with the neck of the tooth can trigger shooting pain via the tubules to the "nerve". The tooth and the nerves do not suffer, but those affected do. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: Permanent relief is achieved when the tubules are permanently sealed on the surface. The most sustainable way to achieve this is with liquid enamel, preferably in the [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) or using [ApaCare mineralising tooth varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200) (see [guide to sensitive teeth](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zu-empfindlichen-zaehnen-und-abnutzung/)). **Expert tip** If you have sensitive teeth, apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) 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](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)) or by means of [ApaCare mineralising dental varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200). ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if your gums are bleeding or receding Bleeding gums and receding gums are common symptoms of periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Diseases of the periodontium very often begin unrecognised and progress gradually. Only a dentist can rule out such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the event of gum changes before the bony periodontium becomes inflamed and irreversibly degraded by the body. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-after-target-0193921658677f91b6852b0b0b829ddc-72316.txt Page: 1 Context: Ultimately, only a dentist can prevent further progression of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets and tooth root surfaces must also be treated in depth (see [ApaCare Periodontitis guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-parodontitis-zahnfleischentzuendung/)). **Expert tip** Home dental care alone cannot stop the progression of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-up and cleaning intervals at the dentist to sensible intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progression and risk of the disease).

[ Pre-, Post- and Probiotics ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/pre-post-and-probiotics/) # Probiotic oral and dental care ### Healthy oral flora promotes general health. ### 1 #### Tip ## Healthy oral flora 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. Other scientists warn against regular mouthwashes with chlorhexidine ingredients and point to their potential effect of increasing blood pressure. Bad breath is also associated with dysbiotic oral flora. **expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## "Good" bacteria are part of our health We humans and the bacteria that colonise us have developed together in an evolutionary and symbiotic way. Intestinal flora, skin flora and oral flora protect us from diseases by preventing pathogens from finding niches in which to grow. At the same time, we are dependent on the microbiome to produce vital metabolic products such as vitamin K or nitrite and protect us from diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes and vascular diseases through to dementia. **Expert tip** Antimicrobial prevention concepts, such as antibacterial oral hygiene products or mouthwashes, influence undesirable pathogens as well as necessary health-promoting germs. This can neither regulate nor stabilise a healthy microbiome. Modern prophylaxis completely dispenses with the regular use of alcohol- or chlorhexidine-based or other antimicrobial preparations. ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23content-after-target-0193921d23ff75628b715a04b6a2a468-72347.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" **For your health.** Probiotic means that such products and foods contain living microorganisms which - when consumed regularly in sufficient quantities - have a health-promoting effect. Yoghurt and kefir are widely used in everyday life and probiotic food supplements for the gut are very well known. The importance of oral probiotics and health-promoting lactic acid and bifido bacteria for oral, dental and general health has only recently been discovered. Since then, many scientific studies have emphasised the importance of oral probiotic prevention and treatment concepts. **Expert tip** Regular use of high-quality oral probiotics, such as ApaCare OraLactin as a powder or chewable pastilles, can restore the balance of healthy oral flora, improve the barrier properties of the body and the gums and support the body's natural defences. ### 4 #### Tip ## Probiotics **Naturally regulate, holistically stabilise.** The 700 to 800 natural bacterial species that colonise the oral cavity (microbiome) compete for nutrients and growth niches and influence each other through natural messenger substances. Probiotic bacterial cultures have a regulating effect on the oral microbiota through their positive signalling molecules by supporting the health-promoting ones and regulating the pathogenic ones. A healthy oral flora can develop and is stabilised, and the intestinal flora is also strengthened. This is supported by a low-sugar, high-fibre diet. **Expert tip** Probiotics are best used as a 30-day course (once a day, regularly). Also in conjunction with dental treatment. Such cures can be repeated several times a year. Probiotics have no side effects and are also suitable for long-term use. (Patients who are severely immunocompromised should temporarily suspend treatment) ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23content-after-target-0193921d23ff75628b715a04b6a2a468-72347.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. **Probiotic effect for everyday life.** Bacteria-specific nutrients and natural dietary fibres (prebiotics), such as gum arabic or amino acids like L-arginine, promote the growth and metabolic activity of health-promoting bacteria without any negative interaction with the body's cells. So-called postbiotics are bacteria-characteristic (natural) information carriers (Lactobacillus ferments), which are obtained from inactivated probiotic lactic acid bacteria and, unlike living bacteria, can also be stabilised in aqueous oral hygiene products. Both together are said to have a probiotic effect, as the oral flora develops positively and in a health-correlated manner with regular use. **Expert tip** Prebiotics and postbiotics can lead to significant probiotic effects in liquid oral hygiene products such as toothpaste or mouthwash. This not only promotes oral and dental health or fresh breath, but can have important effects on general health, for example by supporting blood pressure regulation. ### 6 #### Tip ## Build up oral flora. **This is the best way to do it.** **All age groups from the age of 6 can benefit from OraLactin.** OraLactin Probiotics (sachets or chewable pastilles) are particularly recommended before, during or after dental treatment or prophylaxis. Regularly in cases of high susceptibility to tooth decay, inflammation of the gums or implants, periodontitis, generally bad teeth, bad breath or sensitive mucous membranes. Senior citizens can also use probiotics to better prevent oral diseases. If you want to benefit automatically every day, it is best to use a ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste or mouthwash with a probiotic effect: teeth, gums and oral mucosa are optimally protected, remineralised and regenerated. The oral flora is stabilised in a balanced way and bacteria that promote general health and lower blood pressure are particularly supported. **Expert tip** Dental care products with OraLactin and probiotic effects expand dental and medical prophylaxis to include general medical prevention aspects and support the stabilisation of healthy oral flora. ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23content-after-target-0193921d23ff75628b715a04b6a2a468-72347.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? As part of the digestive tract, the oral cavity is naturally colonised by a very large number of bacteria. Postbiotics, prebiotics or probiotics generally do not cause any side effects. There is also no problem of overdosing, as the unneeded microbes are dissolved and excreted . As a purely precautionary measure, patients with a severely weakened immune system (transplant patients, during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or acute autoimmune diseases) should refrain from using live bacteria and therefore probiotic preparations. However, prebiotic (natural) nutrients or postbiotic information carriers are completely independent of this and do not have this restriction on use. **Expert tip** Modern science speaks all round in favour of probiotic-supplemented oral prophylaxis. By the way: probiotic live cultures, as well as prebiotics and postbiotics, are neutral in flavour. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not all probiotics are the same: **from microbe to probiotic.** In order for one or more microorganisms to be used as a probiotic or as a basis for the production of postbiotic signalling substances, a variety of properties must be investigated. First, the exact strains and any interactions between them are determined and defined. Each probiotic formulation behaves differently. In addition to ensuring the ability to multiply and the metabolic activity over the shelf life of the corresponding formulation, the interaction with the oral bacteria, the gastrointestinal passage, non-invasive, non-carcinogenic, non-pathogenic properties must be ensured and the promotion of healthy oral flora must be proven. Probiotics should not be "mixed together" by yourself Caution should also be exercised when combining different probiotic preparations. **expert tip** Every OraLactin cure can be ideally supported by pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products. ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23content-after-target-0193921d23ff75628b715a04b6a2a468-72347.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## Antibiotics work by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria or killing them. These are necessary for serious bacterial infections that the body's immune system cannot fight itself and where there is a risk of spreading or where the risk of complications is high. Prophylactic applications are also useful, e.g. to protect against endocarditis, during surgical procedures in immunocompromised patients or e.g. jawbone necrosis. Oral probiotics can already be used with antibiotic therapy. To maximise the effectiveness of probiotics, an interval of 2-3 hours should be observed between taking antibiotics and using probiotics. This minimises the likelihood that the antibiotics will also kill off beneficial bacteria. It is also advisable to continue using oral probiotics for at least 2 weeks after the end of antibiotic treatment in order to rebalance the oral (and intestinal) microbiome and support the growth of natural, health-promoting bacteria. Pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products such as OraLactin toothpaste and mouthwash can accompany antibiotic treatment continuously without interaction. **Expert tip** Probiotics can be a useful accompaniment to antibiotic therapy. ### 10 #### Tip ## The importance of nutrition and hydration Plant foods containing nitrates, such as beetroot, leafy vegetables, spinach and especially fruits with a high content of phytochemicals or enzymes (blueberries, papaya, mangosteen, etc.) enhance the probiotic effects and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep the digestive system healthy and the mucous membranes well moisturised. Minimise sugary foods and drinks (replace with water) and watch out for hidden sugars. **Expert tip** Eat a portion of blueberries or enjoy a spinach smoothie more often.

[ Chalk teeth, Enamel formation disorders, Hypomineralization, MIH ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/chalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih/) # Chalk teeth Enamel formation disorders Hypomineralisation ### A guide ### 1 #### Tip ## Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions. One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth. There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses. ### 2 #### Tip ## Frequency and complications In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of 10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in their permanent teeth. Approximately 10% to 15% of this age group worldwide suffer from MIH (chalk teeth); 5% in a severe form. A frequent complication is early superimposed, usually rapidly progressing caries in the affected areas. In severe cases, the affected teeth are often very sensitive or painful. This can lead to functional limitations when chewing and often to social problems (appearance). ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fchalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih-23content-main-65376.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear The frequency of cases has risen sharply since the 1980s, so that in the early days, environmental influences and pesticides were seen as the main possible causes. This could not be scientifically confirmed. Today, it is assumed that a combination of several causes could be responsible. In particular, early childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, probably together with a genetic predisposition. Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also being discussed. ### 4 #### Tip ## Causal prevention is almost impossible As the causative factors and triggers of the disease have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for prevention is unfortunately still not possible. Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops or similar), could have a positive effect and help to prevent the disease. ### 5 #### Tip ## Early clarification recommended Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often have different causes and are not always due to chalky teeth. In any case, an early examination and clarification should be carried out by a dentist. Especially if the teeth are persistently sensitive or painful. Only the dentist can differentiate which disorder is present and which treatment is most promising. For regular, thorough daily tooth cleaning, preferably with sensitive electric toothbrushes (ApaCare Sonic), it is essential to use fluoride toothpastes, ideally in combination with liquid enamel, such as ApaCare toothpaste. Liquid enamel is the stuff that teeth are made of, the very thing that is missing in chalky teeth. ### 6 #### Tip ## Professional treatment at homeLiquid enamel works best when it is applied to the affected teeth or dental arch in a highly concentrated form after brushing with intensive repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair using a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint). The recommended minimum application time is 20 minutes, the splint with the ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste can also be worn throughout the night. Repair enamel minerals from the liquid enamel attach to the tooth surface, penetrate it and "fuse" with it. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-main-65619.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. [ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for white teeth and whitening ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening/) # The 10 most important tips for white teeth and whitening ### 1 #### Tip ## Bright white, yellow or brownish? Where does tooth colour or discolouration come from? Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin . The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through. As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc. Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains . fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-main-65619.txt Page: 1 Context: Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity). ### 2 #### Tip ## Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth 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). ### 3 #### Tip ## How to whiten teeth In traditional bleaching, the tooth surfaces are treated with oxygen-releasing bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in various formulations. Their effect can be enhanced by laser light, blue light or heat. The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and structural changes. The light is reflected closer to the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear brighter and (opaque) whiter. In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to remineralisation effects from the saliva and toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for years. **Expert tip** In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth necks or canines can hardly be whitened. Fillings and dentures cannot be whitened either. ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-main-65619.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince the Cosmetics Ordinance was amended in 2012, toothpastes for home use may only contain hydrogen peroxide up to a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Its bleaching effect is therefore limited to insignificant effects. What remains is a certain acidic effect and, with regular use, a roughening of the tooth surface (increased build-up of colour deposits). bleaching agents from the trade are also low in concentration and therefore limited in their effect. Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on the teeth. Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct (responsible) bleaching technique. In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) suspended. **Expert tip** Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it. Colouring foods and stimulants such as coffee, tea or nicotine stains often adhere to the tooth surface. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bleaching at the dentist The stronger dental bleaching agents act evenly over the tooth surface and penetrate deeper into the enamel layer. The bleaching result is therefore more intensive, more even and lasts longer. The in-office application is often intensified over several days using dental bleaching trays and additional home bleaching pastes directly after the dental appointment at home (leave bleaching agent with bleaching tray to work overnight). Repeated bleaching is also possible. However, several months should be allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover through remineralisation from the saliva. At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very important to close the roughness and pores on the surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and the bleaching result lasts as long as possible. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-main-65619.txt Page: 1 Context: This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night for at least one week, preferably several. the bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). The resulting deposition of white medical hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth surface additionally favours the bleaching result. It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with lighter ones after bleaching . Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit . ### 6 #### Tip ## Gentle tooth whitening through surface treatment Another way to whiten teeth is to compact the tooth surface, enrich it with minerals and smooth it. The structural damage described with conventional bleaching does not occur; on the contrary, the surface of the teeth is thickened and the whitening result lasts longer. However, the effect takes longer to appear and is less intense. This is achieved by regularly applying tooth repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste) daily (overnight) using a dental tray (ApaCare Repair dental tray). The superficial light reflections on the condensed tooth surface lead to more lustre and natural brightness. Dental plaque can also adhere less, which also supports the effects. Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit. ### 7 #### Tip ## What to do if the tooth is discoloured from the inside? Internal tooth discolouration can indeed occur, for example, due to the death of nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth or reactions from (root canal) filling materials. Some of these are also congenital, caused by side effects of medication or accompanying symptoms of malformations. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-main-65619.txt Page: 1 Context: The usually dark, blackish-grey discolouration of decayed pulp tissue can often be bleached very successfully from the inside out. The dentist first checks the root canal filling, which often needs to be replaced before internal bleaching. A permanent bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth over a period of several days to a week and the tooth is sealed. This so-called walking bleaching technique involves a continuous release of oxygen from the bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time in most cases. ### 8 #### Tip ## What to do if stains occur during bleaching? If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel surface. In this case, it is strongly advisable not to apply bleaching agent again in order to prevent further staining. These effects usually disappear within weeks due to the natural remineralisation effects of saliva. This can be supported and accelerated by applying enamel pastes / repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, preferably using a dental tray (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental tray). ### 9 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Tips for white teeth and whitening ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening/) # The 10 most important tips for white teeth and whitening ### 1 #### Tip ## Bright white, yellow or brownish? Where does tooth colour or discolouration come from? Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin . The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through. As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc. Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains . fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-after-target-0193921e048373c4b158b7c90010808f-72330.txt Page: 1 Context: Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity). ### 2 #### Tip ## Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth 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). ### 3 #### Tip ## How to whiten teeth In traditional bleaching, the tooth surfaces are treated with oxygen-releasing bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in various formulations. Their effect can be enhanced by laser light, blue light or heat. The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and structural changes. The light is reflected closer to the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear brighter and (opaque) whiter. In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to remineralisation effects from the saliva and toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for years. **Expert tip** In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth necks or canines can hardly be whitened. Fillings and dentures cannot be whitened either. ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-after-target-0193921e048373c4b158b7c90010808f-72330.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince the Cosmetics Ordinance was amended in 2012, toothpastes for home use may only contain hydrogen peroxide up to a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Its bleaching effect is therefore limited to insignificant effects. What remains is a certain acidic effect and, with regular use, a roughening of the tooth surface (increased build-up of colour deposits). bleaching agents from the trade are also low in concentration and therefore limited in their effect. Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on the teeth. Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct (responsible) bleaching technique. In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) suspended. **Expert tip** Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it. Colouring foods and stimulants such as coffee, tea or nicotine stains often adhere to the tooth surface. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bleaching at the dentist The stronger dental bleaching agents act evenly over the tooth surface and penetrate deeper into the enamel layer. The bleaching result is therefore more intensive, more even and lasts longer. The in-office application is often intensified over several days using dental bleaching trays and additional home bleaching pastes directly after the dental appointment at home (leave bleaching agent with bleaching tray to work overnight). Repeated bleaching is also possible. However, several months should be allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover through remineralisation from the saliva. At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very important to close the roughness and pores on the surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and the bleaching result lasts as long as possible. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-after-target-0193921e048373c4b158b7c90010808f-72330.txt Page: 1 Context: This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night for at least one week, preferably several. the bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). The resulting deposition of white medical hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth surface additionally favours the bleaching result. It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with lighter ones after bleaching . Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit . ### 6 #### Tip ## Gentle tooth whitening through surface treatment Another way to whiten teeth is to compact the tooth surface, enrich it with minerals and smooth it. The structural damage described with conventional bleaching does not occur; on the contrary, the surface of the teeth is thickened and the whitening result lasts longer. However, the effect takes longer to appear and is less intense. This is achieved by regularly applying tooth repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste) daily (overnight) using a dental tray (ApaCare Repair dental tray). The superficial light reflections on the condensed tooth surface lead to more lustre and natural brightness. Dental plaque can also adhere less, which also supports the effects. Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit. ### 7 #### Tip ## What to do if the tooth is discoloured from the inside? Internal tooth discolouration can indeed occur, for example, due to the death of nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth or reactions from (root canal) filling materials. Some of these are also congenital, caused by side effects of medication or accompanying symptoms of malformations. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23content-after-target-0193921e048373c4b158b7c90010808f-72330.txt Page: 1 Context: The usually dark, blackish-grey discolouration of decayed pulp tissue can often be bleached very successfully from the inside out. The dentist first checks the root canal filling, which often needs to be replaced before internal bleaching. A permanent bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth over a period of several days to a week and the tooth is sealed. This so-called walking bleaching technique involves a continuous release of oxygen from the bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time in most cases. ### 8 #### Tip ## What to do if stains occur during bleaching? If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel surface. In this case, it is strongly advisable not to apply bleaching agent again in order to prevent further staining. These effects usually disappear within weeks due to the natural remineralisation effects of saliva. This can be supported and accelerated by applying enamel pastes / repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, preferably using a dental tray (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental tray). ### 9 #### Tip ## 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.

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. 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](https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619)). 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: Modern toothpastes ([ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria. growth of health-promoting bacteria. Especially those in the mouth that play an important role in lowering high blood pressure and the prevention of diabetes; as a preventative measure or as an adjunct to therapy with the everyday measure of "brushing your teeth". Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, we recommend floss is best for teenagers and young adults. If you have receding gums, periodontitis or dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not get stuck). If you suffer from bad breath, you should clean your tongue daily, preferably with a toothpaste with a probiotic effect (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush and[ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)). **Expert tip** Targeted and thorough cleaning helps more than quick and frequent cleaning. Liquid tooth enamel (ApaCare) strengthens the teeth. Probiotic active ingredients (ApaCare OraLactin ) promote dental, oral and general health. All tooth surfaces must be reached "mechanically" and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must "work in" (do not rinse after brushing your teeth). ### 1 #### Tip ## The right toothbrush There is no longer any doubt: machine, electric toothbrushes clean better than manual toothbrushes, from toddlers to senior citizens. manual toothbrushes. This is mainly due to the fact that the rapid bristle movements clean better and the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes is partially the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: [ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) 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. **Expert tip** Fluoride and liquid enamel! We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dental plaque. What to do? If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244). ApaCare [Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home. Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. **Expert tip** Polishing pastes such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week. ### 4 #### Tip ## White teeth without a guilty conscience Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as [ApaCare Repair](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) Intensive Repair: The enamel surface is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see [ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-fuer-weisse-zaehne-und-zum-bleichen/)). This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g. with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint ([ApaCare Repair dental splint](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)). ### 5 #### Tip ## Perhaps the most important thing: new probiotics New scientific findings make us rethink: Many previous antibacterial oral hygiene measures inhibit both the pathogenic and the good bacteria and can therefore neither preventively stabilise the balance of healthy oral flora nor restore it after illness. New probiotics such as OraLactin contain health-promoting, live bacteria that use inhibitors or enzymes to selectively inhibit or kill the growth of specific pathogens. At the same time, they improve the body's barrier function and stimulate the immune defence. A healthy oral flora is often restored after just 2-4 weeks of regular use of the probiotic. Ideal as a 30-day cure in the form of [chewable pastilles](https://www.apacare.com/OraLactin-Chewable-pastilles/1100021) or [sachets](https://www.apacare.com/Oral-probiotic.-Sachets/1100020) (see [Pro-, Pre- and Postbiotics guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-zahngesundheit-und-probiotika/)). ## The probiotic effect #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: ## The probiotic effect Prebiotics are natural substances (selective nutrients for the good guys) that promote the growth of healthy oral bacteria. Postbiotics are inactivated bacteria and bioactive substances that can restore the balance of healthy oral flora by selectively inhibiting pathogenic germs. Both are contained in the new [OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) and the [ApaCare OraLactin Liqiud](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced), so you can benefit from them every day. **Expert tip** Prevention and health promotion without extra effort - when brushing your teeth every day. ApaCare OraLactin Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: 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** Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach. ### 7 #### 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](https://www.apacare.com/Anti-caries-chewing-gum/1100003), are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay. **Expert tip** Several times a year: Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day. Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day. ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. 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. Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. 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 [dry mouth guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/)). 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. **Expert tip** Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day ([ApaCare OraLactin Liquid](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced) 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. ### 9 #### Tip ## What to do with sensitive teeth The actual body of the tooth (the dentin) is permeated with many small fluid-filled canals right up to the "nerve" inside the tooth. The overlying enamel is thin or patchy, especially at the neck of the tooth. Ice, but also sweet foods or stimulants that come into contact with the neck of the tooth can trigger shooting pain via the tubules to the "nerve". The tooth and the nerves do not suffer, but those affected do. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: Permanent relief is achieved when the tubules are permanently sealed on the surface. The most sustainable way to achieve this is with liquid enamel, preferably in the [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) or using [ApaCare mineralising tooth varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200) (see [guide to sensitive teeth](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zu-empfindlichen-zaehnen-und-abnutzung/)). **Expert tip** If you have sensitive teeth, apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) 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](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)) or by means of [ApaCare mineralising dental varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200). ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if your gums are bleeding or receding Bleeding gums and receding gums are common symptoms of periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Diseases of the periodontium very often begin unrecognised and progress gradually. Only a dentist can rule out such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the event of gum changes before the bony periodontium becomes inflamed and irreversibly degraded by the body. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23header-main-search-input-65462.txt Page: 1 Context: Ultimately, only a dentist can prevent further progression of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets and tooth root surfaces must also be treated in depth (see [ApaCare Periodontitis guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-parodontitis-zahnfleischentzuendung/)). **Expert tip** Home dental care alone cannot stop the progression of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-up and cleaning intervals at the dentist to sensible intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progression and risk of the disease).

Die Mundhöhle ist als Teil des Verdauungstraktes von Natur aus mit einer sehr großen Menge an unterschiedlichen Bakterien besiedelt. Probiotika verursachen in der Regel keine Nebenwirkungen. Auch das Problem einer Überdosierung besteht nicht, da die nicht benötigten Mikroben abgebaut und ausgeschieden werden. Dennoch sollten Menschen mit geschwächtem Immunsystem auf die Anwendung von oralen Probiotika vorsichtig verzichten. #################### File: Ratgeber_Probiotika_2023-01-pdf.pdf Page: 7 Context: # 6 Tipps ## Probiotika sind nicht gleich Probiotika! ### Von der Mikrobe zum Probiotikum Damit ein oder mehrere Mikroorganismen als Probiotikum eingesetzt werden können, müssen eine Vielzahl von Eigenschaften festgestellt werden. Zunächst sind die exacten Stämme und gegenwärtigen Wechselwirkungen zu definieren. Jede probiotische Formulierung verhält sich anders. Neben der Sicherstellung der Persistenz und Vermehrungsfähigkeit über den Haltbarkeitszeitraum in der entsprechenden Formulierung müssen die unerwünschte Passage des Magen-Darm-Traktes, nicht invasive, nicht krankheitsverursachende und nicht pathogene Eigenschaften, die Förderung der normalen Mundflora und vieles mehr beachtet sein. Probiotika sollten mal nicht selbst „zusammenrühren“. Vorsicht ist auch geboten bei der Kombination verschiedener Probiotika. ### Experten-Tipp: Jede OraLactin-Kur wirkt bis zu 2–3 Monate positiv nach.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Bad breath tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/bad-breath-tips/) # The 10 most important tips for bad breath ### 1 #### Tip ## Not all bad breath is the same 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. **There are two forms of persistent bad breath:** 1. 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. 2. 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## Around one in four adults is affected 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). **Expert tip** Co-factors such as stress or an unbalanced diet or dry mouth can promote bad breath. ### 3 #### Tip ## Musty-rancid to fishy or faecal odour 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. The oral cavity and pharynx offer ideal conditions for this with the many niches and roughnesses on the teeth, tongue and tonsils. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23header-main-search-input-65265.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Other causes of bad breath * Disease of the periodontium (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries) * Reduced saliva flow (dry mouth), also in connection with mouth breathing, snoring or taking certain medications such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc. * Bacterial inflammation of the mouth and throat such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, etc. * Very rare: Tumours in the mouth and throat area * Lung diseases such as bronchitis **Expert tip** Diseases of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach, intestines), infections such as Helicobacter pylori, diabetes mellitus or poisoning (phosphorus, arsenic, selenium) are only the cause of unpleasant bad breath in a few exceptional cases. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bad breath can be imagined Some people perceive bad breath in themselves, although objectively there is no bad breath (halitophobia). This can trigger anxiety and even lead to obsessive thoughts or actions. **Expert tip** Bad breath can be measured. The most accurate way is to have your breath analysed by gas chromatography, for example at the dentist. Simply speak to your dentist at your next visit. That way you can be absolutely sure! ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Effective treatment of bad breath raises the self-esteem of those affected and improves their quality of life in the long term. ### 7 #### Tip ## The best way to prevent bad breath #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23header-main-search-input-65265.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Brush your teeth twice a day! 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. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes (e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very effective way of preventing tartar. ### 9 #### Tip ## Focus on the tongue 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23header-main-search-input-65265.txt Page: 1 Context: #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) 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. **Expert tip** 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.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Pre-, Post- and Probiotics ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/pre-post-and-probiotics/) # Probiotic oral and dental care ### Healthy oral flora promotes general health. ### 1 #### Tip ## Healthy oral flora 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. Other scientists warn against regular mouthwashes with chlorhexidine ingredients and point to their potential effect of increasing blood pressure. Bad breath is also associated with dysbiotic oral flora. **expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## "Good" bacteria are part of our health We humans and the bacteria that colonise us have developed together in an evolutionary and symbiotic way. Intestinal flora, skin flora and oral flora protect us from diseases by preventing pathogens from finding niches in which to grow. At the same time, we are dependent on the microbiome to produce vital metabolic products such as vitamin K or nitrite and protect us from diseases such as high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes and vascular diseases through to dementia. **Expert tip** Antimicrobial prevention concepts, such as antibacterial oral hygiene products or mouthwashes, influence undesirable pathogens as well as necessary health-promoting germs. This can neither regulate nor stabilise a healthy microbiome. Modern prophylaxis completely dispenses with the regular use of alcohol- or chlorhexidine-based or other antimicrobial preparations. ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23ccm19-65404.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## "Probiotic" **For your health.** Probiotic means that such products and foods contain living microorganisms which - when consumed regularly in sufficient quantities - have a health-promoting effect. Yoghurt and kefir are widely used in everyday life and probiotic food supplements for the gut are very well known. The importance of oral probiotics and health-promoting lactic acid and bifido bacteria for oral, dental and general health has only recently been discovered. Since then, many scientific studies have emphasised the importance of oral probiotic prevention and treatment concepts. **Expert tip** Regular use of high-quality oral probiotics, such as ApaCare OraLactin as a powder or chewable pastilles, can restore the balance of healthy oral flora, improve the barrier properties of the body and the gums and support the body's natural defences. ### 4 #### Tip ## Probiotics **Naturally regulate, holistically stabilise.** The 700 to 800 natural bacterial species that colonise the oral cavity (microbiome) compete for nutrients and growth niches and influence each other through natural messenger substances. Probiotic bacterial cultures have a regulating effect on the oral microbiota through their positive signalling molecules by supporting the health-promoting ones and regulating the pathogenic ones. A healthy oral flora can develop and is stabilised, and the intestinal flora is also strengthened. This is supported by a low-sugar, high-fibre diet. **Expert tip** Probiotics are best used as a 30-day course (once a day, regularly). Also in conjunction with dental treatment. Such cures can be repeated several times a year. Probiotics have no side effects and are also suitable for long-term use. (Patients who are severely immunocompromised should temporarily suspend treatment) ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23ccm19-65404.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## Prebiotics. Postbiotics. **Probiotic effect for everyday life.** Bacteria-specific nutrients and natural dietary fibres (prebiotics), such as gum arabic or amino acids like L-arginine, promote the growth and metabolic activity of health-promoting bacteria without any negative interaction with the body's cells. So-called postbiotics are bacteria-characteristic (natural) information carriers (Lactobacillus ferments), which are obtained from inactivated probiotic lactic acid bacteria and, unlike living bacteria, can also be stabilised in aqueous oral hygiene products. Both together are said to have a probiotic effect, as the oral flora develops positively and in a health-correlated manner with regular use. **Expert tip** Prebiotics and postbiotics can lead to significant probiotic effects in liquid oral hygiene products such as toothpaste or mouthwash. This not only promotes oral and dental health or fresh breath, but can have important effects on general health, for example by supporting blood pressure regulation. ### 6 #### Tip ## Build up oral flora. **This is the best way to do it.** **All age groups from the age of 6 can benefit from OraLactin.** OraLactin Probiotics (sachets or chewable pastilles) are particularly recommended before, during or after dental treatment or prophylaxis. Regularly in cases of high susceptibility to tooth decay, inflammation of the gums or implants, periodontitis, generally bad teeth, bad breath or sensitive mucous membranes. Senior citizens can also use probiotics to better prevent oral diseases. If you want to benefit automatically every day, it is best to use a ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste or mouthwash with a probiotic effect: teeth, gums and oral mucosa are optimally protected, remineralised and regenerated. The oral flora is stabilised in a balanced way and bacteria that promote general health and lower blood pressure are particularly supported. **Expert tip** Dental care products with OraLactin and probiotic effects expand dental and medical prophylaxis to include general medical prevention aspects and support the stabilisation of healthy oral flora. ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23ccm19-65404.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## What side effects should I be aware of? As part of the digestive tract, the oral cavity is naturally colonised by a very large number of bacteria. Postbiotics, prebiotics or probiotics generally do not cause any side effects. There is also no problem of overdosing, as the unneeded microbes are dissolved and excreted . As a purely precautionary measure, patients with a severely weakened immune system (transplant patients, during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or acute autoimmune diseases) should refrain from using live bacteria and therefore probiotic preparations. However, prebiotic (natural) nutrients or postbiotic information carriers are completely independent of this and do not have this restriction on use. **Expert tip** Modern science speaks all round in favour of probiotic-supplemented oral prophylaxis. By the way: probiotic live cultures, as well as prebiotics and postbiotics, are neutral in flavour. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not all probiotics are the same: **from microbe to probiotic.** In order for one or more microorganisms to be used as a probiotic or as a basis for the production of postbiotic signalling substances, a variety of properties must be investigated. First, the exact strains and any interactions between them are determined and defined. Each probiotic formulation behaves differently. In addition to ensuring the ability to multiply and the metabolic activity over the shelf life of the corresponding formulation, the interaction with the oral bacteria, the gastrointestinal passage, non-invasive, non-carcinogenic, non-pathogenic properties must be ensured and the promotion of healthy oral flora must be proven. Probiotics should not be "mixed together" by yourself Caution should also be exercised when combining different probiotic preparations. **expert tip** Every OraLactin cure can be ideally supported by pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products. ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fpre-post-and-probiotics-23ccm19-65404.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 9 #### Tip ## Probiotics and antibiotics ## Antibiotics work by inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria or killing them. These are necessary for serious bacterial infections that the body's immune system cannot fight itself and where there is a risk of spreading or where the risk of complications is high. Prophylactic applications are also useful, e.g. to protect against endocarditis, during surgical procedures in immunocompromised patients or e.g. jawbone necrosis. Oral probiotics can already be used with antibiotic therapy. To maximise the effectiveness of probiotics, an interval of 2-3 hours should be observed between taking antibiotics and using probiotics. This minimises the likelihood that the antibiotics will also kill off beneficial bacteria. It is also advisable to continue using oral probiotics for at least 2 weeks after the end of antibiotic treatment in order to rebalance the oral (and intestinal) microbiome and support the growth of natural, health-promoting bacteria. Pre- and postbiotic oral hygiene products such as OraLactin toothpaste and mouthwash can accompany antibiotic treatment continuously without interaction. **Expert tip** Probiotics can be a useful accompaniment to antibiotic therapy. ### 10 #### Tip ## The importance of nutrition and hydration Plant foods containing nitrates, such as beetroot, leafy vegetables, spinach and especially fruits with a high content of phytochemicals or enzymes (blueberries, papaya, mangosteen, etc.) enhance the probiotic effects and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep the digestive system healthy and the mucous membranes well moisturised. Minimise sugary foods and drinks (replace with water) and watch out for hidden sugars. **Expert tip** Eat a portion of blueberries or enjoy a spinach smoothie more often.

[ Chalk teeth, Enamel formation disorders, Hypomineralization, MIH ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/chalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih/) # Chalk teeth Enamel formation disorders Hypomineralisation ### A guide ### 1 #### Tip ## Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions. One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth. There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses. ### 2 #### Tip ## Frequency and complications In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of 10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in their permanent teeth. Approximately 10% to 15% of this age group worldwide suffer from MIH (chalk teeth); 5% in a severe form. A frequent complication is early superimposed, usually rapidly progressing caries in the affected areas. In severe cases, the affected teeth are often very sensitive or painful. This can lead to functional limitations when chewing and often to social problems (appearance). ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fchalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih-65239.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear The frequency of cases has risen sharply since the 1980s, so that in the early days, environmental influences and pesticides were seen as the main possible causes. This could not be scientifically confirmed. Today, it is assumed that a combination of several causes could be responsible. In particular, early childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, probably together with a genetic predisposition. Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also being discussed. ### 4 #### Tip ## Causal prevention is almost impossible As the causative factors and triggers of the disease have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for prevention is unfortunately still not possible. Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops or similar), could have a positive effect and help to prevent the disease. ### 5 #### Tip ## Early clarification recommended Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often have different causes and are not always due to chalky teeth. In any case, an early examination and clarification should be carried out by a dentist. Especially if the teeth are persistently sensitive or painful. Only the dentist can differentiate which disorder is present and which treatment is most promising. For regular, thorough daily tooth cleaning, preferably with sensitive electric toothbrushes (ApaCare Sonic), it is essential to use fluoride toothpastes, ideally in combination with liquid enamel, such as ApaCare toothpaste. Liquid enamel is the stuff that teeth are made of, the very thing that is missing in chalky teeth. ### 6 #### Tip ## Professional treatment at homeLiquid enamel works best when it is applied to the affected teeth or dental arch in a highly concentrated form after brushing with intensive repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair using a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint). The recommended minimum application time is 20 minutes, the splint with the ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste can also be worn throughout the night. Repair enamel minerals from the liquid enamel attach to the tooth surface, penetrate it and "fuse" with it. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23ccm19-65314.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. [ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for periodontitis/gum inflammation ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation/) # The 10 most important tips for dental care ### 1 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, slightly stippled and do not bleed when touched or brushed. The "red aesthetic" is a very important factor for a radiantly beautiful smile. ### 2 #### Tip ## 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. Gum inflammation can also be the result of hormonal interactions (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, etc.) or occur in conjunction with general illnesses (e.g. diabetes) or drug interactions (e.g. antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc.). **Expert tip** Bleeding gums can usually be successfully treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Thorough tooth brushing is the best way to prevent it (see ApaCare Dental health guide). ### 3 #### Tip ## Bone loss is irreversible! #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23ccm19-65314.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Periodontitis is often the result of a hereditary predisposition and can be favoured by general illnesses or lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and above all stress. ### 4 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Once periodontitis - always periodontitis Anyone who suffers from periodontitis once is usually affected for life. The causes cannot be cured. However, modern dentistry can effectively stop the progression of the disease in most cases through recurring preventive treatments. ### 5 #### Tip ## Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23ccm19-65314.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## 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). (see ApaCare Guide to sensitive teeth) **Expert tip** Exposed tooth necks can often be left as they are. The affected teeth are generally not at risk of additional loss. In the case of visual impairments, these can be covered very successfully by microsurgical gum displacement or gum grafting. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** The earlier periodontitis is recognised and treated, the better the prognosis for long-term tooth preservation. ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern dentistry allows for very targeted diagnostics. Precise knowledge of the individual risk factors is crucial for successful treatment. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23ccm19-65314.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern periodontitis treatment is generally painless or painless with a gentle anaesthetic (dental injection). After-effects are extremely rare. ### 9 #### Tip ## 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23ccm19-65314.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Professional tooth cleaning at the dentist alone is often not enough to halt the progression of periodontal disease, as it does not affect the inflammatory reactions in the depths of the gum pockets. The first UPT usually takes place 6 - 8 weeks after the initial periodontitis therapy, then after 3, 6 to 12 months. It is important that the dentist reassesses the risk of disease progression from time to time (general illnesses, stress, living conditions, medication, hormone status, etc.) and then adjusts the intervals individually. For a lifetime. ### 10 #### Tip ## 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.

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. 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](https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619)). 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: Modern toothpastes ([ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria. growth of health-promoting bacteria. Especially those in the mouth that play an important role in lowering high blood pressure and the prevention of diabetes; as a preventative measure or as an adjunct to therapy with the everyday measure of "brushing your teeth". Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, we recommend floss is best for teenagers and young adults. If you have receding gums, periodontitis or dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not get stuck). If you suffer from bad breath, you should clean your tongue daily, preferably with a toothpaste with a probiotic effect (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush and[ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)). **Expert tip** Targeted and thorough cleaning helps more than quick and frequent cleaning. Liquid tooth enamel (ApaCare) strengthens the teeth. Probiotic active ingredients (ApaCare OraLactin ) promote dental, oral and general health. All tooth surfaces must be reached "mechanically" and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must "work in" (do not rinse after brushing your teeth). ### 1 #### Tip ## The right toothbrush There is no longer any doubt: machine, electric toothbrushes clean better than manual toothbrushes, from toddlers to senior citizens. manual toothbrushes. This is mainly due to the fact that the rapid bristle movements clean better and the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes is partially the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: [ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) 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. **Expert tip** Fluoride and liquid enamel! We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dental plaque. What to do? If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244). ApaCare [Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home. Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. **Expert tip** Polishing pastes such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week. ### 4 #### Tip ## White teeth without a guilty conscience Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as [ApaCare Repair](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) Intensive Repair: The enamel surface is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see [ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-fuer-weisse-zaehne-und-zum-bleichen/)). This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g. with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint ([ApaCare Repair dental splint](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)). ### 5 #### Tip ## Perhaps the most important thing: new probiotics New scientific findings make us rethink: Many previous antibacterial oral hygiene measures inhibit both the pathogenic and the good bacteria and can therefore neither preventively stabilise the balance of healthy oral flora nor restore it after illness. New probiotics such as OraLactin contain health-promoting, live bacteria that use inhibitors or enzymes to selectively inhibit or kill the growth of specific pathogens. At the same time, they improve the body's barrier function and stimulate the immune defence. A healthy oral flora is often restored after just 2-4 weeks of regular use of the probiotic. Ideal as a 30-day cure in the form of [chewable pastilles](https://www.apacare.com/OraLactin-Chewable-pastilles/1100021) or [sachets](https://www.apacare.com/Oral-probiotic.-Sachets/1100020) (see [Pro-, Pre- and Postbiotics guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-zahngesundheit-und-probiotika/)). ## The probiotic effect #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: ## The probiotic effect Prebiotics are natural substances (selective nutrients for the good guys) that promote the growth of healthy oral bacteria.

ApaCare OraLactin Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: 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** Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach. ### 7 #### 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](https://www.apacare.com/Anti-caries-chewing-gum/1100003), are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay. **Expert tip** Several times a year: Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day. Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day. ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. 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. Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. 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 [dry mouth guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/)). 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. **Expert tip** Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day ([ApaCare OraLactin Liquid](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced) 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. ### 9 #### Tip ## What to do with sensitive teeth The actual body of the tooth (the dentin) is permeated with many small fluid-filled canals right up to the "nerve" inside the tooth. The overlying enamel is thin or patchy, especially at the neck of the tooth. Ice, but also sweet foods or stimulants that come into contact with the neck of the tooth can trigger shooting pain via the tubules to the "nerve". The tooth and the nerves do not suffer, but those affected do. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: Permanent relief is achieved when the tubules are permanently sealed on the surface. The most sustainable way to achieve this is with liquid enamel, preferably in the [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) or using [ApaCare mineralising tooth varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200) (see [guide to sensitive teeth](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zu-empfindlichen-zaehnen-und-abnutzung/)). **Expert tip** If you have sensitive teeth, apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) 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](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)) or by means of [ApaCare mineralising dental varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200). ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if your gums are bleeding or receding Bleeding gums and receding gums are common symptoms of periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Diseases of the periodontium very often begin unrecognised and progress gradually. Only a dentist can rule out such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the event of gum changes before the bony periodontium becomes inflamed and irreversibly degraded by the body. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-23content-main-65467.txt Page: 1 Context: Ultimately, only a dentist can prevent further progression of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets and tooth root surfaces must also be treated in depth (see [ApaCare Periodontitis guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-parodontitis-zahnfleischentzuendung/)). **Expert tip** Home dental care alone cannot stop the progression of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-up and cleaning intervals at the dentist to sensible intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progression and risk of the disease).

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for dry mouth ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-dry-mouth/) # The 10 most important tips for dry mouth ### 1 #### Tip ## Saliva: the all-rounder in the oral cavity Humans have three large salivary glands, each located on both sides of the mouth. In addition, a large number of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and 1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous membranes with an adherent thin film. The composition of saliva is complex; the main components are water, organic components such as mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic components such as calcium and phosphate. The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, while it is greatly reduced at night. ### 2 #### Tip ## You can't eat without saliva Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible without the moisturising of the mucous membranes through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin to digest food. The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an important role in the perception of flavour. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of life and ### increase the risk of many oral diseases #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-65235.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry mouth. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone preparations) also often correlate with a transitional dry mouth. Older people are often affected, but up to 10% of young adults also appear to suffer from dry mouth to a greater or lesser extent. ### 5 #### Tip ## Dry mouth as a disease Persistent dry mouth is often the result of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, a concomitant symptom of a disease of the salivary glands, a consequence of salivary gland tumours or diabetes. In Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease, a chronic inflammatory reaction leads to the destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Post-menopausal women in particular can be affected. ### 6 #### Tip ## Many medications can lead to dry mouth as an undesirable side effect Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-65235.txt Page: 1 Context: Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: Antihypertensives (blood pressure-lowering drugs), beta-blockers, antidepressants, psychotropic drugs, antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs), antiepileptic drugs, drugs for Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, painkillers from the opiate group, tranquillisers and sleeping pills, diuretics (diuretic drugs), but also antiemetics (anti-nausea drugs, travel sickness) can lead to (greatly) reduced salivation. ### 7 #### Tip ## Home remedy for dry mouth The obligatory glass of water on the lectern is said to alleviate the dry mouth of the often excited speaker, facilitate the flow of speech and prevent hoarseness. It also helps to drink enough throughout the day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. In general, food should be chewed thoroughly. Stimulants such as excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol should be avoided and smoking should be reduced or even stopped. Salty, spicy and strongly flavoured foods should also be avoided. Particularly in winter, care should be taken to ensure that rooms, especially bedrooms, are sufficiently humidified and regularly ventilated. Regularly chewing sugar-free chewing gum (e.g. ApaCare Gum) or lozenges (e.g. Xerodent) stimulates the flow of saliva. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-65235.txt Page: 1 Context: ## 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). ### 9 #### Tip ## Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitisEnamel minerals such as hydroxyapatite from ApaCare toothpaste are deposited on the tooth surface as an additional protective layer during tooth brushing, which reinforces or partially replaces the function of saliva on the tooth surface. 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. 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. ## When should a doctor be consulted? 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-65235.txt Page: 1 Context: . 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## What else can be done After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists. Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing . ## Living with dry mouth Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth. As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: 1.

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. 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](https://www.apacare.com/Remineralising-toothpaste-with-liquid-enamel/1001619)). 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: Modern toothpastes ([ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)) can also regenerate the oral flora (microbiome) and support the growth of healthy bacteria. growth of health-promoting bacteria. Especially those in the mouth that play an important role in lowering high blood pressure and the prevention of diabetes; as a preventative measure or as an adjunct to therapy with the everyday measure of "brushing your teeth". Interdental spaces should also be cleaned once a day. For adolescents and young adults, we recommend floss is best for teenagers and young adults. If you have receding gums, periodontitis or dental implants, interdental brushes in graduated sizes are recommended (should not get stuck). If you suffer from bad breath, you should clean your tongue daily, preferably with a toothpaste with a probiotic effect (normal toothbrush or special tongue brush and[ApaCare OraLactin](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621)). **Expert tip** Targeted and thorough cleaning helps more than quick and frequent cleaning. Liquid tooth enamel (ApaCare) strengthens the teeth. Probiotic active ingredients (ApaCare OraLactin ) promote dental, oral and general health. All tooth surfaces must be reached "mechanically" and the ingredients of the right toothpaste must "work in" (do not rinse after brushing your teeth). ### 1 #### Tip ## The right toothbrush There is no longer any doubt: machine, electric toothbrushes clean better than manual toothbrushes, from toddlers to senior citizens. manual toothbrushes. This is mainly due to the fact that the rapid bristle movements clean better and the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes is partially the difficult manual brushing technique required for manual toothbrushes. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: [ApaCare OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) 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. **Expert tip** Fluoride and liquid enamel! We recommend ApaCare dental care products with fluoride and liquid enamel, not least because they are well tolerated and do not contain any controversial additives or preservatives. ApaCare OraLactin also contains probiotic active ingredients that promote oral and general health. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dental plaque. What to do? If you don't brush your teeth regularly and carefully, you run the risk of plaque, discolouration or tartar. Other common causes of tooth discolouration, which is usually dark, are the regular consumption of colour-intensive foods and stimulants, such as nicotine, coffee, tea, red wine, etc. Medication or mouth rinses, e.g. based on chlorhexidine, can also lead to tooth discolouration if taken or used regularly. lead to tooth discolouration. This can be prevented and often removed, especially in the early stages, with a tooth polishing paste such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244). ApaCare [Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) tooth polish is used 1-2 times a week instead of the usual toothpaste and thus supplements it. This allows you to continue professional teeth cleaning at home. Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: Older plaque must be removed by the dentist by means of professional teeth cleaning. **Expert tip** Polishing pastes such as [ApaCare Polish](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-polishing-paste-with-liquid-enamel/1001244) complement the use of daily toothpaste and are the dentist's extended arm into the home bathroom after professional tooth cleaning. Polish your teeth 1-2 times a week. ### 4 #### Tip ## White teeth without a guilty conscience Our tooth colour is genetically determined and is primarily determined by the dentin inside the tooth. Light reflection effects on the tooth surface and the individual light transparency of the whitish enamel allow the yellowish dentin to show through more or less, depending on the thickness of the enamel. The enamel is thinner at the neck of the tooth and therefore the teeth appear more yellow there. With advancing age, the thickness of the enamel layer enamel decreases with age, which also leads to a more intense yellowish tooth colour. During bleaching, the enamel prisms are roughened and the tooth surface becomes porous. Less light reaches the inside of the tooth of the tooth and the tooth appears duller and whiter. Over time, these changes heal again through remineralisation from the saliva, which is why bleaching effects only last for a period of a few weeks to a few months. This is not the case when using tooth repair pastes such as [ApaCare Repair](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) Intensive Repair: The enamel surface is permanently smoothened and permanently thickened by depositing highly concentrated liquid enamel from the repair paste (see [ApaCare Guide to white teeth and bleaching](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-fuer-weisse-zaehne-und-zum-bleichen/)). This also changes the reflective behaviour of the enamel towards naturally white and brighter teeth. And this is permanent. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) in the evening after brushing your teeth (e.g. with your finger or toothbrush) and leave on overnight. If you want to accelerate or intensify the effects, use ApaCare Repair with a dental splint ([ApaCare Repair dental splint](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)). ### 5 #### Tip ## Perhaps the most important thing: new probiotics New scientific findings make us rethink: Many previous antibacterial oral hygiene measures inhibit both the pathogenic and the good bacteria and can therefore neither preventively stabilise the balance of healthy oral flora nor restore it after illness. New probiotics such as OraLactin contain health-promoting, live bacteria that use inhibitors or enzymes to selectively inhibit or kill the growth of specific pathogens. At the same time, they improve the body's barrier function and stimulate the immune defence. A healthy oral flora is often restored after just 2-4 weeks of regular use of the probiotic. Ideal as a 30-day cure in the form of [chewable pastilles](https://www.apacare.com/OraLactin-Chewable-pastilles/1100021) or [sachets](https://www.apacare.com/Oral-probiotic.-Sachets/1100020) (see [Pro-, Pre- and Postbiotics guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-zahngesundheit-und-probiotika/)). ## The probiotic effect #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: ## The probiotic effect Prebiotics are natural substances (selective nutrients for the good guys) that promote the growth of healthy oral bacteria. Postbiotics are inactivated bacteria and bioactive substances that can restore the balance of healthy oral flora by selectively inhibiting pathogenic germs. Both are contained in the new [OraLactin toothpaste](https://www.apacare.com/Medicinal-toothpaste-with-probiotic-effect/1001621) and the [ApaCare OraLactin Liqiud](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced), so you can benefit from them every day. **Expert tip** Prevention and health promotion without extra effort - when brushing your teeth every day. ApaCare OraLactin Probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: 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** Check your food and beverages for hidden sugars and try to minimise snacks, including sweetened drinks. Eat a portion of berries more often (e.g. blueberries) or spinach. ### 7 #### 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](https://www.apacare.com/Anti-caries-chewing-gum/1100003), are particularly recommended. Used regularly, it can be very effective in preventing tooth decay. **Expert tip** Several times a year: Xylitol chewing gum cure (30 days each ApaCare Gum). Adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum 3 times a day. Children (from the age of 3) up to the age of 12: chew 1 ApaCare Gum chewing gum once a day. ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## Dry mouth. When your mouth and tongue burn. 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. Dry mouth can severely impair quality of life, including painful burning mouth and tongue, and favours inflammatory diseases. 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 [dry mouth guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-mundtrockenheit/)). 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. **Expert tip** Regular use of hyaluronic acid preparations as a mouth spray or rinsing solution 4-6 times a day ([ApaCare OraLactin Liquid](https://www.apacare.com/detail/805c0a502d2644da89da06d803c94ced) 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. ### 9 #### Tip ## What to do with sensitive teeth The actual body of the tooth (the dentin) is permeated with many small fluid-filled canals right up to the "nerve" inside the tooth. The overlying enamel is thin or patchy, especially at the neck of the tooth. Ice, but also sweet foods or stimulants that come into contact with the neck of the tooth can trigger shooting pain via the tubules to the "nerve". The tooth and the nerves do not suffer, but those affected do. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: Permanent relief is achieved when the tubules are permanently sealed on the surface. The most sustainable way to achieve this is with liquid enamel, preferably in the [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) or using [ApaCare mineralising tooth varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200) (see [guide to sensitive teeth](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zu-empfindlichen-zaehnen-und-abnutzung/)). **Expert tip** If you have sensitive teeth, apply [ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste](https://www.apacare.com/Medical-tooth-repair-paste/1001620) 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](https://www.apacare.com/ApaCare-One-piece-repair-splint/1001129)) or by means of [ApaCare mineralising dental varnish](https://www.apacare.com/Mineralising-tooth-varnish/1040200). ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if your gums are bleeding or receding Bleeding gums and receding gums are common symptoms of periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Diseases of the periodontium very often begin unrecognised and progress gradually. Only a dentist can rule out such a disease or treat it effectively, which is why a dentist should be consulted promptly in the event of gum changes before the bony periodontium becomes inflamed and irreversibly degraded by the body. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fdental-health-guide-65206.txt Page: 1 Context: Ultimately, only a dentist can prevent further progression of the disease by examining the periodontium at regular intervals and carrying out so-called supportive periodontitis therapy. This is more than a normal professional tooth cleaning, as gum pockets and tooth root surfaces must also be treated in depth (see [ApaCare Periodontitis guide](https://www.apacare.de/expertentipps/tipps-zur-parodontitis-zahnfleischentzuendung/)). **Expert tip** Home dental care alone cannot stop the progression of periodontitis. However, it is very important to extend the regular check-up and cleaning intervals at the dentist to sensible intervals (e.g. 1 to 3 times a year depending on the progression and risk of the disease).

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for white teeth and whitening ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening/) # The 10 most important tips for white teeth and whitening ### 1 #### Tip ## Bright white, yellow or brownish? Where does tooth colour or discolouration come from? Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin . The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through. As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc. Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains . fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23ccm19-65620.txt Page: 1 Context: Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity). ### 2 #### Tip ## Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth 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). ### 3 #### Tip ## How to whiten teeth In traditional bleaching, the tooth surfaces are treated with oxygen-releasing bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in various formulations. Their effect can be enhanced by laser light, blue light or heat. The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and structural changes. The light is reflected closer to the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear brighter and (opaque) whiter. In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to remineralisation effects from the saliva and toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for years. **Expert tip** In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth necks or canines can hardly be whitened. Fillings and dentures cannot be whitened either. ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23ccm19-65620.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince the Cosmetics Ordinance was amended in 2012, toothpastes for home use may only contain hydrogen peroxide up to a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Its bleaching effect is therefore limited to insignificant effects. What remains is a certain acidic effect and, with regular use, a roughening of the tooth surface (increased build-up of colour deposits). bleaching agents from the trade are also low in concentration and therefore limited in their effect. Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on the teeth. Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct (responsible) bleaching technique. In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) suspended. **Expert tip** Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it. Colouring foods and stimulants such as coffee, tea or nicotine stains often adhere to the tooth surface. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bleaching at the dentist The stronger dental bleaching agents act evenly over the tooth surface and penetrate deeper into the enamel layer. The bleaching result is therefore more intensive, more even and lasts longer. The in-office application is often intensified over several days using dental bleaching trays and additional home bleaching pastes directly after the dental appointment at home (leave bleaching agent with bleaching tray to work overnight). Repeated bleaching is also possible. However, several months should be allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover through remineralisation from the saliva. At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very important to close the roughness and pores on the surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and the bleaching result lasts as long as possible. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23ccm19-65620.txt Page: 1 Context: This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night for at least one week, preferably several. the bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). The resulting deposition of white medical hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth surface additionally favours the bleaching result. It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with lighter ones after bleaching . Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit . ### 6 #### Tip ## Gentle tooth whitening through surface treatment Another way to whiten teeth is to compact the tooth surface, enrich it with minerals and smooth it. The structural damage described with conventional bleaching does not occur; on the contrary, the surface of the teeth is thickened and the whitening result lasts longer. However, the effect takes longer to appear and is less intense. This is achieved by regularly applying tooth repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste) daily (overnight) using a dental tray (ApaCare Repair dental tray). The superficial light reflections on the condensed tooth surface lead to more lustre and natural brightness. Dental plaque can also adhere less, which also supports the effects. Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit. ### 7 #### Tip ## What to do if the tooth is discoloured from the inside? Internal tooth discolouration can indeed occur, for example, due to the death of nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth or reactions from (root canal) filling materials. Some of these are also congenital, caused by side effects of medication or accompanying symptoms of malformations. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23ccm19-65620.txt Page: 1 Context: The usually dark, blackish-grey discolouration of decayed pulp tissue can often be bleached very successfully from the inside out. The dentist first checks the root canal filling, which often needs to be replaced before internal bleaching. A permanent bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth over a period of several days to a week and the tooth is sealed. This so-called walking bleaching technique involves a continuous release of oxygen from the bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time in most cases. ### 8 #### Tip ## What to do if stains occur during bleaching? If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel surface. In this case, it is strongly advisable not to apply bleaching agent again in order to prevent further staining. These effects usually disappear within weeks due to the natural remineralisation effects of saliva. This can be supported and accelerated by applying enamel pastes / repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, preferably using a dental tray (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental tray). ### 9 #### Tip ## 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 tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/bad-breath-tips/) # The 10 most important tips for bad breath ### 1 #### Tip ## Not all bad breath is the same 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. **There are two forms of persistent bad breath:** 1. 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. 2. 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 2 #### Tip ## Around one in four adults is affected 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). **Expert tip** Co-factors such as stress or an unbalanced diet or dry mouth can promote bad breath. ### 3 #### Tip ## Musty-rancid to fishy or faecal odour 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. The oral cavity and pharynx offer ideal conditions for this with the many niches and roughnesses on the teeth, tongue and tonsils. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23content-main-65301.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Other causes of bad breath * Disease of the periodontium (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries) * Reduced saliva flow (dry mouth), also in connection with mouth breathing, snoring or taking certain medications such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, etc. * Bacterial inflammation of the mouth and throat such as pharyngitis, sinusitis, rhinitis, etc. * Very rare: Tumours in the mouth and throat area * Lung diseases such as bronchitis **Expert tip** Diseases of the digestive tract (oesophagus, stomach, intestines), infections such as Helicobacter pylori, diabetes mellitus or poisoning (phosphorus, arsenic, selenium) are only the cause of unpleasant bad breath in a few exceptional cases. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bad breath can be imagined Some people perceive bad breath in themselves, although objectively there is no bad breath (halitophobia). This can trigger anxiety and even lead to obsessive thoughts or actions. **Expert tip** Bad breath can be measured. The most accurate way is to have your breath analysed by gas chromatography, for example at the dentist. Simply speak to your dentist at your next visit. That way you can be absolutely sure! ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Effective treatment of bad breath raises the self-esteem of those affected and improves their quality of life in the long term. ### 7 #### Tip ## The best way to prevent bad breath #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23content-main-65301.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Brush your teeth twice a day! 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. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Tartar in particular can smell bad. Using the ApaCare Sonic Inter Polish brush and special polishing pastes (e.g. ApaCare Polish tooth polishing paste) is a very effective way of preventing tartar. ### 9 #### Tip ## Focus on the tongue 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. **Expert tip** 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fbad-breath-tips-23content-main-65301.txt Page: 1 Context: #### Tip ## Particularly sustainable: colonising good bacteria (probiotics) 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. **Expert tip** 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.

[ Tips for periodontitis/gum inflammation ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation/) # The 10 most important tips for dental care ### 1 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, slightly stippled and do not bleed when touched or brushed. The "red aesthetic" is a very important factor for a radiantly beautiful smile. ### 2 #### Tip ## 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. Gum inflammation can also be the result of hormonal interactions (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, etc.) or occur in conjunction with general illnesses (e.g. diabetes) or drug interactions (e.g. antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc.). **Expert tip** Bleeding gums can usually be successfully treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Thorough tooth brushing is the best way to prevent it (see ApaCare Dental health guide). ### 3 #### Tip ## Bone loss is irreversible! #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23header-main-search-input-65393.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Periodontitis is often the result of a hereditary predisposition and can be favoured by general illnesses or lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and above all stress. ### 4 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Once periodontitis - always periodontitis Anyone who suffers from periodontitis once is usually affected for life. The causes cannot be cured. However, modern dentistry can effectively stop the progression of the disease in most cases through recurring preventive treatments. ### 5 #### Tip ## Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23header-main-search-input-65393.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## 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). (see ApaCare Guide to sensitive teeth) **Expert tip** Exposed tooth necks can often be left as they are. The affected teeth are generally not at risk of additional loss. In the case of visual impairments, these can be covered very successfully by microsurgical gum displacement or gum grafting. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** The earlier periodontitis is recognised and treated, the better the prognosis for long-term tooth preservation. ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern dentistry allows for very targeted diagnostics. Precise knowledge of the individual risk factors is crucial for successful treatment. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23header-main-search-input-65393.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern periodontitis treatment is generally painless or painless with a gentle anaesthetic (dental injection). After-effects are extremely rare. ### 9 #### Tip ## 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23header-main-search-input-65393.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Professional tooth cleaning at the dentist alone is often not enough to halt the progression of periodontal disease, as it does not affect the inflammatory reactions in the depths of the gum pockets. The first UPT usually takes place 6 - 8 weeks after the initial periodontitis therapy, then after 3, 6 to 12 months. It is important that the dentist reassesses the risk of disease progression from time to time (general illnesses, stress, living conditions, medication, hormone status, etc.) and then adjusts the intervals individually. For a lifetime. ### 10 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Tips for periodontitis/gum inflammation ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation/) # The 10 most important tips for dental care ### 1 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, slightly stippled and do not bleed when touched or brushed. The "red aesthetic" is a very important factor for a radiantly beautiful smile. ### 2 #### Tip ## 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. Gum inflammation can also be the result of hormonal interactions (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, etc.) or occur in conjunction with general illnesses (e.g. diabetes) or drug interactions (e.g. antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc.). **Expert tip** Bleeding gums can usually be successfully treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Thorough tooth brushing is the best way to prevent it (see ApaCare Dental health guide). ### 3 #### Tip ## Bone loss is irreversible! #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23main-navigation-menu-65363.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Periodontitis is often the result of a hereditary predisposition and can be favoured by general illnesses or lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and above all stress. ### 4 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Once periodontitis - always periodontitis Anyone who suffers from periodontitis once is usually affected for life. The causes cannot be cured. However, modern dentistry can effectively stop the progression of the disease in most cases through recurring preventive treatments. ### 5 #### Tip ## Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23main-navigation-menu-65363.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## 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). (see ApaCare Guide to sensitive teeth) **Expert tip** Exposed tooth necks can often be left as they are. The affected teeth are generally not at risk of additional loss. In the case of visual impairments, these can be covered very successfully by microsurgical gum displacement or gum grafting. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** The earlier periodontitis is recognised and treated, the better the prognosis for long-term tooth preservation. ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern dentistry allows for very targeted diagnostics. Precise knowledge of the individual risk factors is crucial for successful treatment. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23main-navigation-menu-65363.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern periodontitis treatment is generally painless or painless with a gentle anaesthetic (dental injection). After-effects are extremely rare. ### 9 #### Tip ## 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23main-navigation-menu-65363.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Professional tooth cleaning at the dentist alone is often not enough to halt the progression of periodontal disease, as it does not affect the inflammatory reactions in the depths of the gum pockets. The first UPT usually takes place 6 - 8 weeks after the initial periodontitis therapy, then after 3, 6 to 12 months. It is important that the dentist reassesses the risk of disease progression from time to time (general illnesses, stress, living conditions, medication, hormone status, etc.) and then adjusts the intervals individually. For a lifetime. ### 10 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Tips for periodontitis/gum inflammation ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation/) # The 10 most important tips for dental care ### 1 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, slightly stippled and do not bleed when touched or brushed. The "red aesthetic" is a very important factor for a radiantly beautiful smile. ### 2 #### Tip ## 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. Gum inflammation can also be the result of hormonal interactions (e.g. pregnancy, the pill, etc.) or occur in conjunction with general illnesses (e.g. diabetes) or drug interactions (e.g. antihypertensive drugs, antiepileptic drugs, etc.). **Expert tip** Bleeding gums can usually be successfully treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist. Thorough tooth brushing is the best way to prevent it (see ApaCare Dental health guide). ### 3 #### Tip ## Bone loss is irreversible! #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-main-65317.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Periodontitis is often the result of a hereditary predisposition and can be favoured by general illnesses or lifestyle habits, such as smoking, and above all stress. ### 4 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Once periodontitis - always periodontitis Anyone who suffers from periodontitis once is usually affected for life. The causes cannot be cured. However, modern dentistry can effectively stop the progression of the disease in most cases through recurring preventive treatments. ### 5 #### Tip ## Exposed tooth necks are no cause for concern #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-main-65317.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 5 #### Tip ## 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). (see ApaCare Guide to sensitive teeth) **Expert tip** Exposed tooth necks can often be left as they are. The affected teeth are generally not at risk of additional loss. In the case of visual impairments, these can be covered very successfully by microsurgical gum displacement or gum grafting. ### 6 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** The earlier periodontitis is recognised and treated, the better the prognosis for long-term tooth preservation. ### 7 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern dentistry allows for very targeted diagnostics. Precise knowledge of the individual risk factors is crucial for successful treatment. ### 8 #### Tip ## Not afraid of periodontitis treatment? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-main-65317.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## 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. **Expert tip** Modern periodontitis treatment is generally painless or painless with a gentle anaesthetic (dental injection). After-effects are extremely rare. ### 9 #### Tip ## 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. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-periodontitis-gum-inflammation-23content-main-65317.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Professional tooth cleaning at the dentist alone is often not enough to halt the progression of periodontal disease, as it does not affect the inflammatory reactions in the depths of the gum pockets. The first UPT usually takes place 6 - 8 weeks after the initial periodontitis therapy, then after 3, 6 to 12 months. It is important that the dentist reassesses the risk of disease progression from time to time (general illnesses, stress, living conditions, medication, hormone status, etc.) and then adjusts the intervals individually. For a lifetime. ### 10 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips for dry mouth ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-dry-mouth/) # The 10 most important tips for dry mouth ### 1 #### Tip ## Saliva: the all-rounder in the oral cavity Humans have three large salivary glands, each located on both sides of the mouth. In addition, a large number of small salivary glands are embedded in the oral mucosa. All of them secrete between approx. 700 ml and 1000 ml of saliva into the oral cavity every day. The saliva moistens the tooth surfaces and the mucous membranes with an adherent thin film. The composition of saliva is complex; the main components are water, organic components such as mucins, proteins, immunoglobulins and inorganic components such as calcium and phosphate. The flow of saliva fluctuates greatly throughout the day; chewing movements and taste sensations, even the idea of delicious food, stimulate the flow of saliva, while it is greatly reduced at night. ### 2 #### Tip ## You can't eat without saliva Saliva fulfils a number of important functions in the oral cavity. Chewing or swallowing is hardly possible without the moisturising of the mucous membranes through saliva and its rinsing function. Saliva has an antibacterial effect and the enzymes it contains begin to digest food. The mineral balance of the teeth is maintained and acids are buffered (neutralised). Saliva also plays an important role in the perception of flavour. ### 3 #### Tip ## Dry mouth can significantly reduce the quality of life and ### increase the risk of many oral diseases #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23content-after-target-0193921a91ab7c4ca1804fc8c35ba88a-72342.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 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). ### 4 #### Tip ## Temporary dry mouth can have a variety of causes In the short term, dry mouth can occur as a result of a lack of fluids, mouth breathing, snoring, dry ambient air (e.g. in winter), in connection with flu-like infections or hoarseness. Stress, excitement, nervousness, but also depression and stimulants, especially smoking and alcohol abuse, can lead to dry mouth. Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, hormone preparations) also often correlate with a transitional dry mouth. Older people are often affected, but up to 10% of young adults also appear to suffer from dry mouth to a greater or lesser extent. ### 5 #### Tip ## Dry mouth as a disease Persistent dry mouth is often the result of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, a concomitant symptom of a disease of the salivary glands, a consequence of salivary gland tumours or diabetes. In Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease, a chronic inflammatory reaction leads to the destruction of the salivary and lacrimal glands. Post-menopausal women in particular can be affected. ### 6 #### Tip ## Many medications can lead to dry mouth as an undesirable side effect Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23content-after-target-0193921a91ab7c4ca1804fc8c35ba88a-72342.txt Page: 1 Context: Last but not least, dry mouth often occurs as a result of side effects of medication: Antihypertensives (blood pressure-lowering drugs), beta-blockers, antidepressants, psychotropic drugs, antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs), antiepileptic drugs, drugs for Parkinson's disease, muscle relaxants, painkillers from the opiate group, tranquillisers and sleeping pills, diuretics (diuretic drugs), but also antiemetics (anti-nausea drugs, travel sickness) can lead to (greatly) reduced salivation. ### 7 #### Tip ## Home remedy for dry mouth The obligatory glass of water on the lectern is said to alleviate the dry mouth of the often excited speaker, facilitate the flow of speech and prevent hoarseness. It also helps to drink enough throughout the day, preferably water or unsweetened tea. In general, food should be chewed thoroughly. Stimulants such as excessive consumption of coffee or alcohol should be avoided and smoking should be reduced or even stopped. Salty, spicy and strongly flavoured foods should also be avoided. Particularly in winter, care should be taken to ensure that rooms, especially bedrooms, are sufficiently humidified and regularly ventilated. Regularly chewing sugar-free chewing gum (e.g. ApaCare Gum) or lozenges (e.g. Xerodent) stimulates the flow of saliva. ### 8 #### Tip ## 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23content-after-target-0193921a91ab7c4ca1804fc8c35ba88a-72342.txt Page: 1 Context: ## 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). ### 9 #### Tip ## Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitisEnamel minerals such as hydroxyapatite from ApaCare toothpaste are deposited on the tooth surface as an additional protective layer during tooth brushing, which reinforces or partially replaces the function of saliva on the tooth surface. 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. 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. ## When should a doctor be consulted? 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 #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23content-after-target-0193921a91ab7c4ca1804fc8c35ba88a-72342.txt Page: 1 Context: . 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. ### 10 #### Tip ## What else can be done After a detailed medical history (questioning the patient about their state of health, medication, general illnesses, course of symptoms, etc.) and a thorough examination of the patient with a particular focus on the oral cavity and salivary glands, the stimulated salivary flow rate is usually determined. If the suspicion is confirmed, further examinations such as laboratory diagnostics, blood tests, sonography (ultrasound examination) of the salivary glands, endoscopic examinations of the salivary ducts, X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, if necessary with contrast medium, can be carried out to narrow down the cause. In rare cases, a sample is taken from the salivary gland (biopsy). In addition, an interdisciplinary diagnosis or therapy may be necessary, involving hormone specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists or psychologists. Saliva substitutes are often the last resort in very severe cases of dry mouth in order to form a film on the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat and thus facilitate speaking, eating and swallowing . ## Living with dry mouth Saliva substitutes consist of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC), carboxyethylcellulose (CEC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), animal mucin, linseed oil, sorbitol or polyethylene oxide (PEO), among others. Enzymes and substances to adjust the pH value and viscosity are also added to many saliva substitutes. To prevent caries in dentate patients, pH-neutral saliva substitutes that contain fluoride and are supersaturated with calcium and phosphate should be recommended wherever possible. Butter and wetting the mucous membranes with edible oils are also helpful. Despite all these substances, no substitute preparation has yet been found that can replace human saliva. Unfortunately, many forms of dry mouth still cannot really be treated in a cause-specific manner and the affected patient has to live with dry mouth. As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-dry-mouth-23content-main-65583.txt Page: 1 Context: 1.

As the relief of symptoms with the above-mentioned therapeutic approaches is perceived differently from person to person, it is recommended that the affected person tries out different measures to find the best one for them individually #################### File: www-apacare-com-2F-23ccm19-65241.txt Page: 1 Context: ## Dental problems and their solutions [Aphthae](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/aphthous-ulcers/)[Deposits & Plaque](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/deposits-plaque/)[Acid erosions](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/acid-erosion/)[Yellowish teeth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/yellowish-teeth/)[Implant inflammation](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/implant-inflammation/)[Caries](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/caries/)[Chalk teeth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/chalky-teeth/)[Bad breath](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/bad-breath/)[Periodontitis (periodontal disease)](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/periodontitis-periodontal-disease/)[Rough teeth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/rough-teeth/)[Pain on cold](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/pain-on-cold/)[Dry mouth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/dry-mouth/)[Burns in the mouth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/burns-in-the-mouth/)[Tooth wear](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/tooth-wear/)[Bleeding gums](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/bleeding-gums/)[Burning tongue](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/burning-tongue/) [ Skip product gallery](#content-after-target-01920e69e439735f963d38b953405e6f) Our recommendations slide 6 to 8 [ ](https://www.apacare.com/Sonic-3D-Sensitive-brush-heads/1002022) ### ApaCare #################### File: www-apacare-com-2F-23content-after-target-01920e69e439735f963d38b953405e6f-72303.txt Page: 1 Context: ## Dental problems and their solutions [Aphthae](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/aphthous-ulcers/)[Deposits & Plaque](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/deposits-plaque/)[Acid erosions](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/acid-erosion/)[Yellowish teeth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/yellowish-teeth/)[Implant inflammation](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/implant-inflammation/)[Caries](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/caries/)[Chalk teeth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/chalky-teeth/)[Bad breath](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/bad-breath/)[Periodontitis (periodontal disease)](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/periodontitis-periodontal-disease/)[Rough teeth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/rough-teeth/)[Pain on cold](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/pain-on-cold/)[Dry mouth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/dry-mouth/)[Burns in the mouth](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/burns-in-the-mouth/)[Tooth wear](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/tooth-wear/)[Bleeding gums](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/bleeding-gums/)[Burning tongue](https://www.apacare.com/dental-problems-and-solutions/burning-tongue/) [ Skip product gallery](#content-after-target-01920e69e439735f963d38b953405e6f) Our recommendations slide 6 to 8 [ ](https://www.apacare.com/Sonic-3D-Sensitive-brush-heads/1002022) ### ApaCare #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fprivacy-policy-65192.txt Page: 1 Context: Moreover, we process personal data that we receive from our clients in the course of our business relationship.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips on sensitive teeth and abrasion ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion/) # The 10 most important tips for sensitive teeth and wear and tear ### 1 #### Tip ## Brushing instead of scrubbing **Tooth wear** can occur in various forms and due to different causes. Combinations of different factors are often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects (indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** **Expert tip** When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard (gums become just whitish under the toothbrush). ### 2 #### Tip ## Stress and aggression damage the teeth Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to extensive grinding. **Expert tip** Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted element in the nervous system for processing tension and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation (relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). ### 3 #### Tip ## Tooth wear due to poor diet So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-after-target-01939218b91a78fd92db00a52476c657-72325.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth wear within a short period of time, which the dentist is often powerless to prevent. Late consequences can include a lowered bite or temporomandibular joint problems, which often require extensive restorative treatment. Early dental clarification and nutritional counselling is recommended. ### 4 #### Tip ## Acids dissolve tooth enamel So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid (reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention is the daily application of repair paste such as ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after brushing your teeth. **Expert tip** You should refrain from brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks (wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them thoroughly beforehand. ### 5 #### Tip ## Tooth malformation / stained teeth Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally different from signs of wear and tear, are **"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes being discussed being genetic malformations and anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, side effects of medication, trauma or environmental influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the first molars (molars) in the posterior region are affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel formation disorders hypomineralisation). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-after-target-01939218b91a78fd92db00a52476c657-72325.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Those affected should seek professional advice from a dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride combination preparations in infants (first year of life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely brownish enamel stains). ### 6 #### Tip ## Why tooth necks can become sensitive Sensitive tooth necks are widespread. It is estimated that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this area, into which nerve processes radiate from the inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these stimuli. **Expert tip** Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride (ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. ### 7 #### Tip ## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss? Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp (intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity is therefore based on the individual suffering of the affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there should be a significant and lasting improvement. **Expert tip** First of all, it is very important to eliminate or minimise the causative factors. This applies in particular to the cause of signs of wear in the cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or whitening toothpastes. ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23content-after-target-01939218b91a78fd92db00a52476c657-72325.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various active ingredients that are intended to dampen hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often does not work in the long term. The most effective way to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush bottle). This sticks for a few hours to days and often provides immediate and lasting relief. Both ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste and ApaCare tooth varnish contain micro-fine enamel crystals that penetrate deep into the canals, fuse with the tooth and close the original open canals. **Expert tip** In severe cases or to intensify the treatment, we recommend using ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in conjunction with dental splints (ApaCare Repair dental splint), which are best worn overnight (everything you need is included in the ApaCare Sensitive Teeth Kit). ### 9 #### Tip ## What can the dentist do about hypersensitive teeth? Dentists can professionally seal the open dentin tubules. There is a wide range of sealing materials available for this purpose, from plastic adhesive (composite) to liquid enamel varnish (ApaCare dental varnish), which are applied to the affected tooth necks depending on the individual situation and are usually hardened. Cervical fillings or crowns are only required in rare cases. **Expert tip** Sensitive tooth necks can be professionally sealed very successfully. ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if none of this helps? Severe sensitivity to cold can also be the first signs of reversible or even irreversible dental neuritis. In contrast to hypersensitivity reactions, the cold pain in these cases often lasts longer or is accompanied by radiating pain in response to warm stimuli. Night pain often occurs and the painful region begins to radiate. Such symptoms of irreversible dental nerve inflammation should be immediately clarified by a dentist. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23header-main-search-input-65534.txt Page: 1 Context: 1.

[ Tips for white teeth and whitening ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening/) # The 10 most important tips for white teeth and whitening ### 1 #### Tip ## Bright white, yellow or brownish? Where does tooth colour or discolouration come from? Our tooth colour is genetically determined. The shape and position of the teeth also influence perception; large teeth and a harmonious tooth position appear "whiter". The colour impression is created by light reflection, partly on the outer surface of the whitish translucent (transparent) enamel, partly inside the tooth at the transition to the yellowish dentin . The enamel is thicker in the area of the incisal edge than at the tooth neck and is therefore whiter, but also more transparent. At the neck of the tooth and the transition to the gums, many teeth appear somewhat "yellower" due to the dentin shining through. As we age, the enamel becomes continuously thinner and the teeth consequently yellower. In addition, discolouration on the teeth due to plaque, food residues, lifestyle habits (coffee, tea plaque), tea residues (smoking), etc. Furthermore, mineral disorders occurring during the formation of tooth enamel, fluoride overdoses (e.g. dental fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as a side effect of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellow or brown colour stains . fluorosis) or deposits, e.g. as side effects of medication (e.g. antibiotics such as tetracyclines), can lead to whitish, yellowish or brownish colour stains, which can often also be associated with structural anomalies such as grooves or stippling (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation). Such colour deposits can also be found in the dentin. Furthermore, leaking fillings or crowns, for example, can cause cracks in the teeth, which can promote the penetration of unsightly (yellow or brown) colouring into the outer tooth structures. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23header-main-search-input-65534.txt Page: 1 Context: Traumatic haemorrhages, e.g. after an accident (at least temporary blue discolouration of the teeth) or brown-black dyes from dead pulp (dental nerve) tissue (see above) or by release from root canal filling materials can lead to translucent brown-black tooth discolouration from the inside of the tooth (the former pulp cavity). ### 2 #### Tip ## Only healthy teeth are beautiful teeth 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). ### 3 #### Tip ## How to whiten teeth In traditional bleaching, the tooth surfaces are treated with oxygen-releasing bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in various formulations. Their effect can be enhanced by laser light, blue light or heat. The bleaching agents penetrate the tooth enamel and loosen its mineral structure, causing pores and structural changes. The light is reflected closer to the tooth surface, which makes the teeth appear brighter and (opaque) whiter. In addition, colour substrates stored in the enamel are oxidised and lightened. The structural changes that cause the whitening effect gradually disappear due to remineralisation effects from the saliva and toothpaste. A bleaching result is rarely stable for years. **Expert tip** In young teeth, the enamel is generally thicker than in older teeth. The enamel is particularly thin on tooth necks and sometimes on canines. The whitening effect is therefore more pronounced in adolescents and some tooth necks or canines can hardly be whitened. Fillings and dentures cannot be whitened either. ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23header-main-search-input-65534.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 4 #### Tip ## Home bleachingSince the Cosmetics Ordinance was amended in 2012, toothpastes for home use may only contain hydrogen peroxide up to a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Its bleaching effect is therefore limited to insignificant effects. What remains is a certain acidic effect and, with regular use, a roughening of the tooth surface (increased build-up of colour deposits). bleaching agents from the trade are also low in concentration and therefore limited in their effect. Depending on the application, e.g. in the form of strips or sticks, unsightly stains may also appear on the teeth. Sustainable bleaching results can only be achieved by a dentist. The dentist begins the bleaching therapy with a professional tooth cleaning and the treatment of carious lesions or leaking fillings, etc. Only the dentist can assess findings such as exposed tooth necks and thin gums and then select the correct (responsible) bleaching technique. In the event of side effects such as sensitivity or gum inflammation, the bleaching therapy is (temporarily) suspended. **Expert tip** Repeated bleaching in particular can lead to damage and pore formation on the tooth surface or roughen it. Colouring foods and stimulants such as coffee, tea or nicotine stains often adhere to the tooth surface. ### 5 #### Tip ## Bleaching at the dentist The stronger dental bleaching agents act evenly over the tooth surface and penetrate deeper into the enamel layer. The bleaching result is therefore more intensive, more even and lasts longer. The in-office application is often intensified over several days using dental bleaching trays and additional home bleaching pastes directly after the dental appointment at home (leave bleaching agent with bleaching tray to work overnight). Repeated bleaching is also possible. However, several months should be allowed to pass between bleaching sessions so that the enamel and in particular the tooth surface can recover through remineralisation from the saliva. At the end of the bleaching treatment, it is very important to close the roughness and pores on the surface of the enamel caused by the bleaching agent so that no colour substrates can adhere or penetrate and the bleaching result lasts as long as possible. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23header-main-search-input-65534.txt Page: 1 Context: This is achieved by wearing a dental splint at night for at least one week, preferably several. the bleaching tray prepared by the dentist or ApaCare Repair tooth tray) with tooth repair paste (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste). The resulting deposition of white medical hydroxyapatite (liquid tooth enamel) on the tooth surface additionally favours the bleaching result. It may be necessary to replace fillings or crowns with lighter ones after bleaching . Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit . ### 6 #### Tip ## Gentle tooth whitening through surface treatment Another way to whiten teeth is to compact the tooth surface, enrich it with minerals and smooth it. The structural damage described with conventional bleaching does not occur; on the contrary, the surface of the teeth is thickened and the whitening result lasts longer. However, the effect takes longer to appear and is less intense. This is achieved by regularly applying tooth repair pastes (ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste) daily (overnight) using a dental tray (ApaCare Repair dental tray). The superficial light reflections on the condensed tooth surface lead to more lustre and natural brightness. Dental plaque can also adhere less, which also supports the effects. Everything you need is included in the ApaCare tooth whitening kit. ### 7 #### Tip ## What to do if the tooth is discoloured from the inside? Internal tooth discolouration can indeed occur, for example, due to the death of nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth or reactions from (root canal) filling materials. Some of these are also congenital, caused by side effects of medication or accompanying symptoms of malformations. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-for-white-teeth-and-whitening-23header-main-search-input-65534.txt Page: 1 Context: The usually dark, blackish-grey discolouration of decayed pulp tissue can often be bleached very successfully from the inside out. The dentist first checks the root canal filling, which often needs to be replaced before internal bleaching. A permanent bleaching agent is then placed inside the tooth over a period of several days to a week and the tooth is sealed. This so-called walking bleaching technique involves a continuous release of oxygen from the bleaching agent over many hours, which penetrates the pores of the tooth from the inside and can break down and oxidise the colouring agents. Once the bleaching agent has been removed, the tooth is sealed tightly and the bleaching is therefore stable for a very long time in most cases. ### 8 #### Tip ## What to do if stains occur during bleaching? If the bleaching agent is not applied or applied evenly, but also if the enamel is inhomogeneous, unsightly stains or lines may appear on the enamel surface. In this case, it is strongly advisable not to apply bleaching agent again in order to prevent further staining. These effects usually disappear within weeks due to the natural remineralisation effects of saliva. This can be supported and accelerated by applying enamel pastes / repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, preferably using a dental tray (e.g. ApaCare Repair dental tray). ### 9 #### Tip ## 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.

[ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips on sensitive teeth and abrasion ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion/) # The 10 most important tips for sensitive teeth and wear and tear ### 1 #### Tip ## Brushing instead of scrubbing **Tooth wear** can occur in various forms and due to different causes. Combinations of different factors are often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects (indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** **Expert tip** When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard (gums become just whitish under the toothbrush). ### 2 #### Tip ## Stress and aggression damage the teeth Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to extensive grinding. **Expert tip** Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted element in the nervous system for processing tension and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation (relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). ### 3 #### Tip ## Tooth wear due to poor diet So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23header-main-search-input-65511.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth wear within a short period of time, which the dentist is often powerless to prevent. Late consequences can include a lowered bite or temporomandibular joint problems, which often require extensive restorative treatment. Early dental clarification and nutritional counselling is recommended. ### 4 #### Tip ## Acids dissolve tooth enamel So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid (reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention is the daily application of repair paste such as ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after brushing your teeth. **Expert tip** You should refrain from brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks (wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them thoroughly beforehand. ### 5 #### Tip ## Tooth malformation / stained teeth Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally different from signs of wear and tear, are **"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes being discussed being genetic malformations and anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, side effects of medication, trauma or environmental influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the first molars (molars) in the posterior region are affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel formation disorders hypomineralisation). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23header-main-search-input-65511.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Those affected should seek professional advice from a dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride combination preparations in infants (first year of life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely brownish enamel stains). ### 6 #### Tip ## Why tooth necks can become sensitive Sensitive tooth necks are widespread. It is estimated that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this area, into which nerve processes radiate from the inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these stimuli. **Expert tip** Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride (ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. ### 7 #### Tip ## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss? Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp (intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity is therefore based on the individual suffering of the affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there should be a significant and lasting improvement. **Expert tip** First of all, it is very important to eliminate or minimise the causative factors. This applies in particular to the cause of signs of wear in the cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or whitening toothpastes. ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23header-main-search-input-65511.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various active ingredients that are intended to dampen hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often does not work in the long term. The most effective way to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush bottle). This sticks for a few hours to days and often provides immediate and lasting relief. Both ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste and ApaCare tooth varnish contain micro-fine enamel crystals that penetrate deep into the canals, fuse with the tooth and close the original open canals. **Expert tip** In severe cases or to intensify the treatment, we recommend using ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in conjunction with dental splints (ApaCare Repair dental splint), which are best worn overnight (everything you need is included in the ApaCare Sensitive Teeth Kit). ### 9 #### Tip ## What can the dentist do about hypersensitive teeth? Dentists can professionally seal the open dentin tubules. There is a wide range of sealing materials available for this purpose, from plastic adhesive (composite) to liquid enamel varnish (ApaCare dental varnish), which are applied to the affected tooth necks depending on the individual situation and are usually hardened. Cervical fillings or crowns are only required in rare cases. **Expert tip** Sensitive tooth necks can be professionally sealed very successfully. ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if none of this helps? Severe sensitivity to cold can also be the first signs of reversible or even irreversible dental neuritis. In contrast to hypersensitivity reactions, the cold pain in these cases often lasts longer or is accompanied by radiating pain in response to warm stimuli. Night pain often occurs and the painful region begins to radiate. Such symptoms of irreversible dental nerve inflammation should be immediately clarified by a dentist. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23ccm19-65674.txt Page: 1 Context: 1.

Combinations of different factors are often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects (indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** **Expert tip** When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard (gums become just whitish under the toothbrush). ### 2 #### Tip ## Stress and aggression damage the teeth Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to extensive grinding. **Expert tip** Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted element in the nervous system for processing tension and stress.

[ Chalk teeth, Enamel formation disorders, Hypomineralization, MIH ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/chalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih/) # Chalk teeth Enamel formation disorders Hypomineralisation ### A guide ### 1 #### Tip ## Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions. One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth. There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses. ### 2 #### Tip ## Frequency and complications In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of 10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in their permanent teeth. Approximately 10% to 15% of this age group worldwide suffer from MIH (chalk teeth); 5% in a severe form. A frequent complication is early superimposed, usually rapidly progressing caries in the affected areas. In severe cases, the affected teeth are often very sensitive or painful. This can lead to functional limitations when chewing and often to social problems (appearance). ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fchalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih-23content-after-target-01939211d6e67d9ba079bac07a17e13b-72351.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear The frequency of cases has risen sharply since the 1980s, so that in the early days, environmental influences and pesticides were seen as the main possible causes. This could not be scientifically confirmed. Today, it is assumed that a combination of several causes could be responsible. In particular, early childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, probably together with a genetic predisposition. Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also being discussed. ### 4 #### Tip ## Causal prevention is almost impossible As the causative factors and triggers of the disease have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for prevention is unfortunately still not possible. Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops or similar), could have a positive effect and help to prevent the disease. ### 5 #### Tip ## Early clarification recommended Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often have different causes and are not always due to chalky teeth. In any case, an early examination and clarification should be carried out by a dentist. Especially if the teeth are persistently sensitive or painful. Only the dentist can differentiate which disorder is present and which treatment is most promising. For regular, thorough daily tooth cleaning, preferably with sensitive electric toothbrushes (ApaCare Sonic), it is essential to use fluoride toothpastes, ideally in combination with liquid enamel, such as ApaCare toothpaste. Liquid enamel is the stuff that teeth are made of, the very thing that is missing in chalky teeth. ### 6 #### Tip ## Professional treatment at homeLiquid enamel works best when it is applied to the affected teeth or dental arch in a highly concentrated form after brushing with intensive repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair using a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint). The recommended minimum application time is 20 minutes, the splint with the ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste can also be worn throughout the night. Repair enamel minerals from the liquid enamel attach to the tooth surface, penetrate it and "fuse" with it. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fwidgets-2Fcms-2F10aa4ad957e74c7da1b509b51a1fdf0c-65253.txt Page: 1 Context: # Privacy policy ## Data protection notice pursuant to the EU General Data Protection Regulation Cumdente GmbH Last updated: May 2018 With the following information, we give you an overview about the processing of your personal data by Cumdente GmbH and your rights with regard to data protection.

[ Chalk teeth, Enamel formation disorders, Hypomineralization, MIH ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/chalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih/) # Chalk teeth Enamel formation disorders Hypomineralisation ### A guide ### 1 #### Tip ## Whitish or brownish discolouration, structural anomaly up to tooth malformationSo-called chalk teeth are the result of impaired enamel formation during tooth development. Both milk teeth and permanent teeth can be affected, in some children and adolescents even both dentitions. One particular form of this irreversible enamel formation disorder is so-called molar incisor hypomineralisation, or MIH for short, which affects the first molars (molars) and the central front teeth. The upper jaw is statistically more frequently affected than the lower jaw. The changes are usually recognised when the teeth erupt, usually from the age of 6 in the case of permanent teeth. There are different degrees of severity. 90% of all MIH cases show whitish-creamy to yellowish-brownish, opaque discolouration, but with a largely intact structure and unchanged tooth shape. More severe forms are characterised by structural defects (mostly pores) and even slight changes in the shape of the tooth. In rare, very severe cases, there are yellowish-brownish, very pronounced morphological changes in shape and structural collapses. ### 2 #### Tip ## Frequency and complications In German-speaking countries today, approx. 30% of 10-year-old children and approx. 40% of 15-year-old adolescents have at least one hypomineralisation in their permanent teeth. Approximately 10% to 15% of this age group worldwide suffer from MIH (chalk teeth); 5% in a severe form. A frequent complication is early superimposed, usually rapidly progressing caries in the affected areas. In severe cases, the affected teeth are often very sensitive or painful. This can lead to functional limitations when chewing and often to social problems (appearance). ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Fchalk-teeth-enamel-formation-disorders-hypomineralization-mih-23ccm19-65368.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 3 #### Tip ## The cause is still unclear The frequency of cases has risen sharply since the 1980s, so that in the early days, environmental influences and pesticides were seen as the main possible causes. This could not be scientifically confirmed. Today, it is assumed that a combination of several causes could be responsible. In particular, early childhood respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, pneumonia, pseudocroup etc. are suspected, probably together with a genetic predisposition. Drug interactions with antibiotics or asthma sprays taken in early childhood or endocrine interactions, for example with special plastics (e.g. Bis-GMA), are also being discussed. ### 4 #### Tip ## Causal prevention is almost impossible As the causative factors and triggers of the disease have not yet been clarified, primary prophylaxis for prevention is unfortunately still not possible. Nevertheless, there are indications that vitamin D supplements, which are also urgently needed to prevent rickets in the first year of life (e.g. Vigantol drops or similar), could have a positive effect and help to prevent the disease. ### 5 #### Tip ## Early clarification recommended Tooth discolouration and enamel malformations often have different causes and are not always due to chalky teeth. In any case, an early examination and clarification should be carried out by a dentist. Especially if the teeth are persistently sensitive or painful. Only the dentist can differentiate which disorder is present and which treatment is most promising. For regular, thorough daily tooth cleaning, preferably with sensitive electric toothbrushes (ApaCare Sonic), it is essential to use fluoride toothpastes, ideally in combination with liquid enamel, such as ApaCare toothpaste. Liquid enamel is the stuff that teeth are made of, the very thing that is missing in chalky teeth. ### 6 #### Tip ## Professional treatment at homeLiquid enamel works best when it is applied to the affected teeth or dental arch in a highly concentrated form after brushing with intensive repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair using a dental splint (ApaCare Repair dental splint). The recommended minimum application time is 20 minutes, the splint with the ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste can also be worn throughout the night. Repair enamel minerals from the liquid enamel attach to the tooth surface, penetrate it and "fuse" with it. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt Page: 1 Context: 1. [ Expert tips ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/) 2. [ Tips on sensitive teeth and abrasion ](https://www.apacare.com/expert-tips/tips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion/) # The 10 most important tips for sensitive teeth and wear and tear ### 1 #### Tip ## Brushing instead of scrubbing **Tooth wear** can occur in various forms and due to different causes. Combinations of different factors are often the cause. So-called wedge-shaped defects (indentations in the tooth neck area, see picture above) are best prevented with a toothpaste that is not too abrasive (ApaCare toothpaste with liquid enamel) and a medium-hard toothbrush (ApaCare Sonic Toothbrush). So-called **"attritions".** **Expert tip** When brushing, you should avoid (unconscious) scrubbing movements and do not press the toothbrush too hard (gums become just whitish under the toothbrush). ### 2 #### Tip ## Stress and aggression damage the teeth Occur as sharp-edged eruptions and microfractures, especially on tooth edges in the area of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges. This is caused by "2-media wear effects": Tooth against tooth, e.g. due to extensive grinding. **Expert tip** Through evolution, teeth grinding is a deeply rooted element in the nervous system for processing tension and stress. As a rule, this phenomenon cannot be treated causally by dental treatment. It is recommended that dentists make soft anti-wear splints, which are often worn at night, or individual types of relaxation (relaxation, relaxation therapy/exercises). ### 3 #### Tip ## Tooth wear due to poor diet So-called **"abrasions"** usually appear as extensive wear on the teeth in the chewing surface area and can be traced back to 3-media wear effects, where abrasive food (e.g. millet porridge, wholemeal products, etc.) or objects are habitually chewed between the teeth. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Abrasive foods in combination with the habitual consumption of acidic drinks can cause extensive tooth wear within a short period of time, which the dentist is often powerless to prevent. Late consequences can include a lowered bite or temporomandibular joint problems, which often require extensive restorative treatment. Early dental clarification and nutritional counselling is recommended. ### 4 #### Tip ## Acids dissolve tooth enamel So-called **"tooth erosions"** are usually caused by the direct effect of acids on the tooth surface, usually the enamel, which can be completely dissolved in particularly severe cases. Stomach acid (reflux/bulimia) can lead to erosive enamel defects on the side of the tongue, primarily on the molars. Fruit acids, acidic foods (vinegar etc.) or drinks (e.g. cola, white wine etc.) primarily affect the front teeth and the chewing surfaces. Acid erosions appear as round, smooth forms of wear and usually end precisely at the gumline. It is not uncommon for the affected teeth to feel dull for some time immediately after consuming acidic foods or drinks. The best prevention is the daily application of repair paste such as ApaCare Repair Tooth Repair Paste in the evening after brushing your teeth. **Expert tip** You should refrain from brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks (wait at least 1 hour). For example, if you want to drink a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening, it is best to avoid brushing your teeth afterwards and brush them thoroughly beforehand. ### 5 #### Tip ## Tooth malformation / stained teeth Often similar in appearance, but fundamentally different from signs of wear and tear, are **"developmental dental malformations".** The frequency of these appears to be increasing, with the main causes being discussed being genetic malformations and anomalies, early childhood infections, antibiotics, side effects of medication, trauma or environmental influences. In many cases, the anterior teeth and the first molars (molars) in the posterior region are affected (see ApaCare guide chalk teeth enamel formation disorders hypomineralisation). #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt Page: 1 Context: **Expert tip** Those affected should seek professional advice from a dentist as soon as possible. Particular caution is required when using fluoride tablets or fluoride combination preparations in infants (first year of life) in order to avoid fluoride overdoses in conjunction with modern fluoride-containing children's toothpastes (risk of dental fluorosis: whitish, rarely brownish enamel stains). ### 6 #### Tip ## Why tooth necks can become sensitive Sensitive tooth necks are widespread. It is estimated that around 40% of all adults between the ages of 20 and 40 are or have been affected. Gum recession and/or signs of wear lead to exposed tooth necks or root surfaces. The tooth has many (dentinal) tubules in this area, into which nerve processes radiate from the inside of the tooth and which are surrounded by fluid. Thermal (especially cold) or osmotic (sweet/sour) stimuli can cause this column of fluid in the dentinal tubules to move, which can sometimes cause severe, short-lasting, shooting pain in response to these stimuli. **Expert tip** Many sensitivities disappear by themselves after a while. Toothpaste with liquid enamel and fluoride (ApaCare) is the best way to prevent this. ### 7 #### Tip ## Are sensitive teeth at risk of loss? Although hypersensitivity can severely impair the quality of life, it correlates with a vital dental pulp (intact dental nerve). Teeth with hypersensitivity reactions do not show higher loss rates than comparable non-sensitive teeth. The treatment of hypersensitivity is therefore based on the individual suffering of the affected person. Sensitive tooth necks are best treated by applying ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste daily after brushing your teeth. Preferably in the evening after brushing your teeth. After just a few days, there should be a significant and lasting improvement. **Expert tip** First of all, it is very important to eliminate or minimise the causative factors. This applies in particular to the cause of signs of wear in the cervical area: especially acidic food/drinks, incorrect brushing technique or the use of highly abrasive or whitening toothpastes. ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fexpert-tips-2Ftips-on-sensitive-teeth-and-abrasion-23main-navigation-menu-65551.txt Page: 1 Context: ### 8 #### Tip ## What can you do at home to combat hypersensitivity? Special toothpastes for sensitive teeth contain various active ingredients that are intended to dampen hypersensitive nerve reactions. However, this often does not work in the long term. The most effective way to close the causative open dentin tubules is to use tooth repair pastes such as ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste, which are applied after brushing your teeth. In addition or alternatively, the tooth necks or sensitive tooth surfaces can be carefully dabbed dry and treated with ApaCare mineralising dental varnish (brush bottle). This sticks for a few hours to days and often provides immediate and lasting relief. Both ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste and ApaCare tooth varnish contain micro-fine enamel crystals that penetrate deep into the canals, fuse with the tooth and close the original open canals. **Expert tip** In severe cases or to intensify the treatment, we recommend using ApaCare Repair tooth repair paste in conjunction with dental splints (ApaCare Repair dental splint), which are best worn overnight (everything you need is included in the ApaCare Sensitive Teeth Kit). ### 9 #### Tip ## What can the dentist do about hypersensitive teeth? Dentists can professionally seal the open dentin tubules. There is a wide range of sealing materials available for this purpose, from plastic adhesive (composite) to liquid enamel varnish (ApaCare dental varnish), which are applied to the affected tooth necks depending on the individual situation and are usually hardened. Cervical fillings or crowns are only required in rare cases. **Expert tip** Sensitive tooth necks can be professionally sealed very successfully. ### 10 #### Tip ## What to do if none of this helps? Severe sensitivity to cold can also be the first signs of reversible or even irreversible dental neuritis. In contrast to hypersensitivity reactions, the cold pain in these cases often lasts longer or is accompanied by radiating pain in response to warm stimuli. Night pain often occurs and the painful region begins to radiate. Such symptoms of irreversible dental nerve inflammation should be immediately clarified by a dentist. #################### File: www-apacare-com-2Fproducts-2Frepair-paste-and-dental-varnish-65195.txt Page: 1 Context: Highly enriched liquid enamel paste after brushing your teeth. Enamel repair: Restores incipient caries, repairs pores, smoothes roughness and remineralises tooth malformations and chalky teeth (MIH). White teeth: Thickens the enamel surface and creates a bright, shiny light-reflecting layer. Treats sensitivity and tooth necks: Coats sensitive tooth necks with a protective layer. Improves the barrier to the dental nerve. ApaCare Repair is the top product from ApaCare research and not a toothpaste! ApaCare Repair is used after brushing your teeth. The highly enriched medical hydroxyapatite is deposited as liquid enamel on the tooth surfaces and adheres to them as an initially invisible protective film. The enamel minerals repair enamel defects and incipient caries, promote enamel maturation even in the case of stained teeth or developmental disorders or tooth malformations (e.g. chalky teeth), strengthen and thicken the enamel surface, smooth it very pleasantly and result in brightly reflecting, whitened teeth. At the same time, sensitive tooth necks are treated and the cause in the form of exposed dentinal tubules is sustainably treated. Also suitable for acid erosion, high caries susceptibility and orthodontic treatment. Fluoride-free alternative to fluoride gels. Treatment with ApaCare Repair is particularly effective when the repair paste is used with a dental splint. Once or several times a day for 20 minutes or overnight. The easiest way to do this is with the self-mouldable ApaCare Repair dental splint for use at home. Dentists and their team also use ApaCare Repair in their practice, e.g. after prophylaxis, to smooth teeth and prevent sensitivity. ApaCare Repair: Initial caries can be remineralised with liquid enamel In a controlled and randomised study\* on 92 patients with initial caries published on Nature.com, a high level of remineralisation was demonstrated through the use of ApaCare Repair. The study subjects used a fluoridated toothpaste and then ApaCare Repair once a day for 6 months. A follow-up examination was carried out after one and two years. Result: Initial caries was reduced in 38% of the teeth, in combination with ozone even in 69%. After 2 years without ApaCare Repair application, the number of caries-free teeth fell to 18%.

The study subjects used a fluoridated toothpaste and then ApaCare Repair once a day for 6 months. A follow-up examination was carried out after one and two years. Result: Initial caries was reduced in 38% of the teeth, in combination with ozone even in 69%. After 2 years without ApaCare Repair application, the number of caries-free teeth fell to 18%. The authors recommend that patients with initial caries or those at risk of caries should not only use the treatment for 6 months, but on a permanent basis. \*Grocholewicz, K., Matkowska-Cichocka, G., Makowiecki, P. et al.

Ein- bis mehrmals täglich für 20 Minuten oder über Nacht einwirken lassen. * Auch für Kleinkinder geeignet: Sicher anwendbar bei empfindlichen Kinderzähnen, Kreidezähnen oder hoher Kariesanfälligkeit. ### ApaCare Repair – Perfekt für Zahnärzte und den Heimgebrauch Neben der täglichen Anwendung zu Hause ist ApaCare Repair auch bei Zahnärzten und Prophylaxe-Teams eine bewährte Lösung. Nach der professionellen Zahnreinigung wird die Reparatur-Paste eingesetzt, um Zähne zu glätten, Initialkaries zu remineralisieren und empfindliche Zahnhälse zu versorgen. ### Besonders empfohlen für: * Menschen mit hoher Kariesanfälligkeit * Personen mit empfindlichen Zähnen oder freiliegenden Zahnhälsen * Erwachsene und Kinder mit Kreidezähnen (MIH) oder Zahnschmelzmissbildungen * Anwender von Zahnspangen oder kieferorthopädischen Geräten * Menschen, die eine fluoridfreie Alternative zur Zahnschmelzreparatur suchen #### ApaCare Repair kaufen – Hochwirksame Zahnschmelz-Reparatur für starke, gesunde Zähne #################### File: www-apacare-com-2FRemineralisation-and-MIH-chalk-teeth-set-2F1040014-23description-tab-dc52aa3392cc45e9ade9785323f19c7e-pane-66478.txt Page: 1 Context: Highly enriched liquid enamel paste after brushing your teeth. Enamel repair: Restores incipient caries, repairs pores, smoothes roughness and remineralises tooth malformations and chalky teeth (MIH).

Ein- bis mehrmals täglich für 20 Minuten oder über Nacht einwirken lassen. * Auch für Kleinkinder geeignet: Sicher anwendbar bei empfindlichen Kinderzähnen, Kreidezähnen oder hoher Kariesanfälligkeit. ### ApaCare Repair – Perfekt für Zahnärzte und den Heimgebrauch Neben der täglichen Anwendung zu Hause ist ApaCare Repair auch bei Zahnärzten und Prophylaxe-Teams eine bewährte Lösung.
