Να τι συμβαίνει όταν χάσουμε ένα δόντι και δεν το αντικαταστήσουμε...

Orthodontic treatment is about more than just straightening teeth—it’s a period that demands extra care for oral hygiene. Brackets, wires, and bands create tiny spaces where food and plaque can easily accumulate, making brushing and flossing more challenging than usual.

If plaque isn’t removed effectively, it can harden into tartar, providing an ideal environment for bacteria. This can lead to cavities, gum inflammation, and unsightly white spot lesions forming around brackets.

Maintaining proper oral care during braces is therefore crucial. Consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups help protect teeth and gums, ensuring a healthy smile throughout the orthodontic journey.

When patients hear the word “radiation,” it often creates unnecessary fear. In reality, modern dental X-rays are among the safest medical imaging tools available today. The radiation dose is extremely small—comparable to everyday sources we are exposed to without realizing it.

For perspective:

🔹 Eating a banana exposes you to natural radiation from potassium. One dental X-ray delivers roughly the same amount as eating a few bananas.

🔹 A few minutes in sunlight can expose you to more radiation than a dental X-ray.

🔹 A short airplane flight exposes you to several times more radiation than a complete set of dental X-rays.

Dental imaging has become even safer thanks to technological advances. Older film-based X-rays required higher radiation doses, but today’s digital X-ray systems reduce exposure by up to 90% while providing clearer, more precise images. This allows dentists to detect problems earlier and treat them more effectively.

Dentists also follow strict safety protocols. Lead aprons and thyroid collars are used to shield sensitive areas, and all X-rays follow the ALARA principle—keeping radiation As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This means X-rays are taken only when clinically necessary, never routinely or without a diagnostic purpose.

In summary, the radiation from dental X-rays is minimal, well-controlled, and far outweighed by the benefits of early detection. Rather than being harmful, dental X-rays are an essential tool for protecting your teeth, jaw, and overall health.

Teeth are not tools.🦷❌⚒️

While using your teeth to open a bottle may appear harmless or even convenient, it poses serious risks to your oral health. This seemingly minor action can result in significant dental trauma, including:

➡️Fractured or chipped teeth – Excessive force can compromise the enamel and underlying structures, potentially requiring restorative procedures such as crowns or root canal treatment.

➡️Tooth loss – In severe cases, especially where pre-existing conditions like periodontal disease exist, the tooth may be dislodged entirely.

➡️Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction – Strain on the jaw joint can lead to pain, limited mobility, and chronic discomfort.

➡️Injury to soft tissues – The lips, gums, and inner cheeks are at risk of lacerations and subsequent infections.

➡️Damage to dental work – Crowns, veneers, and fillings are particularly vulnerable and may require costly repairs or replacement.

Your teeth are designed for eating and speaking—not for opening bottles. Preserve your dental health by using the right tools for the job.
