As transformed with age the hair of full brown crested in gray or white, the skin lies down in folds and bones and muscles not quite as flexible and movable - are also changing teeth and gums.
If the teeth are darker and slightly yellowish in age, this is only an outward sign of change. Even the tooth and gums and jaw bone change.
enamel color and shape of the teeth changes over time due to their function. The enamel wear out with age and is dünner.Das under the enamel lying dentin (dentin) is more visible and makes the teeth look yellowish and darker The moisture content is reduced. This can form micro-fissures and cracks.
demineralization remineralization
acids from the diet (fruit juices, soft drinks or fruit) and resolve as the metabolic products of bacterial decay minerals from the tooth structure and attack So on the teeth. If the teeth are cleaned regularly with fluoride toothpaste supports the natural remineralization by saliva. The tooth can regenerate.
be the age after the remineralization by saliva usually as a result of reduced saliva flow. All the more reason, therefore, adequate calcium and fluoride intake from the outside by both the food (such as dairy products) and an appropriate toothpaste. Right now should be on a regular and thorough Oral Hygiene value will be added.
gums and jaw
go with age, more teeth are lost due to inflammation in the gums than through tooth decay. The so-called periodontal disease destroys the periodontium and is caused by bacteria. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, but also stress are key factors for the disease. This is not necessarily negligence in oral hygiene debt. Often, older people problems with conventional manual toothbrushes, dental floss and interdental brush handle and thus to reach all points. In particular, for manually restricted patients can help an electric toothbrush. is of great importance as a Regular professional teeth cleanings at the dentist about the "cleaning gaps" to close the patient and to give information of adequate oral hygiene. Periodontitis is not treated in time, it can lead to tooth loss and also encourage other serious diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

prosthesis and what next?

Many older people know the problem: much effort have dentist and dental technician made the prosthesis and adapted. But after a short time patients get the impression that the dentures are not kept properly, or they complain of pressure pain. A psychological problem? Or is there more to it?
course, a prosthesis is compared to the natural teeth of a huge incision dar. patients often feel the artificial teeth as a foreign body. Then the patient sits in a few days, weeks or months in the dental chair, complaining about a perfect fit despite feeling pressure and pain. For a complete denture to get used to a certain degree is normal. A light Feeling of pressure and acclimatization difficulty speaking and eating generally leave after some time.
full dentures jaw stress differently
The prosthesis strain on the jaw bone other than your own teeth. Normally, the teeth of the print run during chewing so that a stimulus for the conservation of the jaw bone is thrown. In a full prosthesis is only the oral mucosa between dental and bone. The result of chewing pressure is transmitted through the oral mucosa to the jaw. By this unnatural stress builds up the jaw bone is slowly and imperceptibly at first. The prosthesis loses over time the good fit, however, the process runs at each from different people. Some patients may lose the prosthesis after a few months that they are secure. Others wear their dentures even after several years without complaints. The more precise the denture is made, the more evenly distributed pressure on the mouth and jaw. However, it does cause the jaw bone is broken down. Thus, the chewing pressure is distributed unequally. In places that are taxed higher, they form the back bone faster. should
Subsequent adjustments are possible even with artificial teeth
visiting the dentist twice a year are the rule. In this case, the dentist can examine the fit of the denture to these processes to recognize and act in time to meet. By lining the cavities formed can be compensated by the bone loss. Thus, the prosthesis is sitting evenly on the jaw and a secure fit is guaranteed.
adhesive also prevent pressure sores
liable Typically, the prosthesis by the salivary film on the oral mucosa. Adhesive can - especially when the prosthesis is worn for the first time - provide additional security. They are also helpful in complicated jaw relationships, or if too little saliva is produced. Adhesive form with source materials, a thin, elastic cushion under the prosthesis. It also prevents from dents and seals the prosthesis edge. Thus enter as less food remains under the prosthesis.
What to do if it pushes
Existing bruising and inflammation of the dentist should always be presented. Mostly, the problem can be solved with a few measures. Only in exceptional cases, medication or ointments are used in dental arrangement. Not only the regular checkup at the dentist but also the timely presentation to prevent problems that result from harmless bruising or oral mucosa a malignant tumor. A dental examination is therefore always a cancer screening.
