Preventing cavities starts with daily oral health care. Brushing your teeth regularly at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste is the most important step in removing plaque and strengthening tooth enamel. In addition to brushing, daily flossing removes food debris and plaque from hard-to-reach spaces between teeth.

Avoiding excessive consumption of sugar and acidic beverages is also important, as they can weaken tooth enamel and create a favorable environment for bacteria to grow. Regular visits to the dentist – at least twice a year – will allow you to have your teeth professionally cleaned and detect potential problems in a timely manner.

Bad breath is most often the result of a buildup of bacteria on the tongue, teeth, or gums. The solution starts with proper oral hygiene—brushing your teeth and tongue thoroughly at least twice a day and flossing daily. Using antibacterial mouthwashes further reduces bacteria and neutralizes odors.

Hydration is key to stimulating saliva production, which naturally washes away bacteria. If bad breath persists despite proper hygiene, consult a dentist to determine possible causes—such as gum disease, cavities, or systemic health problems.

Modern dentistry ensures a high level of comfort during all procedures, and local anesthesia makes treatments completely painless, even for more complex procedures such as endodontics. Our dentists pay special attention to the individual needs of patients to provide them with a pleasant experience and painless treatments.

Ignoring the symptoms of tooth decay or inflammation can lead to more serious problems, including deep infections, tooth loss, and the spread of bacteria to other parts of the body. Untreated tooth decay can progress to inflammation of the tooth nerve, while inflammation can cause an abscess – a painful collection of pus. A timely visit to the dentist is important to avoid complications and maintain oral health.

Symptoms of tooth nerve inflammation most often include intense, throbbing pain that can be constant or intermittent, especially at night. Patients often experience increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks. An inflamed nerve can cause swelling of the gums or face in the area of ​​the affected tooth, and sometimes redness or the appearance of a fistula on the gums. Additional symptoms include bad breath and difficulty chewing. If you notice these signs, see a dentist as soon as possible to prevent more serious complications.

Composite fillings usually last 5–10 years, but their durability depends on the quality of the material, oral hygiene, and your eating habits. Replacing a filling is necessary when there are signs of wear, cracks, discoloration, or decay under the filling. Regular dental checkups are the best way to identify the need for filling replacement early, thus preventing further complications and preserving the functionality of the tooth.
