Tooth decay – How you can effectively protect your teeth

Dear patients,

in our dental practice in Bruck an der Mur We focus on comprehensive preventive dentistry, because prevention is the best protection against dental diseases. A key issue here is tooth decay - one of the most common dental diseases, which can lead to serious damage if left untreated.

Caries is caused by the breakdown of the tooth's hard substance and is influenced by several factors. Not only inadequate oral hygiene, but also genetic predisposition, eating habits and the influence of certain bacteria play a role. The three main triggers are:

• Individual tooth structure: Some people have naturally stronger teeth, while others are more prone to tooth decay.
• Diet and habits: Foods containing sugar and acid attack tooth enamel and promote the formation of tooth decay.
• Hygiene and care: Regular and thorough brushing of teeth as well as the use of dental floss and fluoride products protect against tooth decay.

By consciously adjusting your dental care routine and having regular dental check-ups, we can work together to minimize the risk of tooth decay. In our practice, we offer professional prophylaxis programs that are individually tailored to your needs.

Do you have any questions about optimal caries prevention? Our team at dental practice Dr. Helga Peinsith will be happy to advise you and support you in keeping your teeth healthy in the long term.
