5 Ways or More To Make kids Brush Their Teeth Effortlessly and With Fun

  There is no need to tell you how important oral hygiene is, not only for adults but also for children. Unfortunately, some people still believe that milk teeth can be "neglected" as they are destined to fall out. There is nothing more wrong! Deciduous teeth are of paramount importance to the future oral health of the child. Even if they are destined to fall, they contribute to forming the entire mouth, and their position will determine the position of the final teeth.

How Dental Implant Works

  Introduction: Let's find out everything about dental implants: how they work, how they are made and how they are removed in case of failure. Thanks to the great progress made over the years in the dental field, today replacing a lost tooth with an artificial one is no longer a problem. Modern implantology techniques allow us to rehabilitate chewing by means of fixed prosthetic devices, which effectively reproduce the aesthetics and function of one or more natural teeth. To be able to apply an implant, it is necessary to undergo a small oral surgery, carried out on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia. The new artificial root will consist of a titanium screw, inserted inside the maxillary or mandibular bone tissue, depending on the arch on which it is necessary to intervene.
