The most common oral diseases include the following:
- Tooth decay- occurs when the surface of a tooth is damaged by bacteria, which produce an acid that attacks the enamel. They can cause pain and infection if not treated in time. It is an oral disease that affects almost 100% of people of all ages.
- Sores and canker sores: these are whitish-coloured sores that appear inside the mouth, mainly in the tongue area or on the inside of the lip due to a bite or rubbing against something.
- Gingivitis: this is an early stage periodontal disease that is manifested by swollen and reddened gums, which may even bleed. Its appearance is directly related to oral hygiene.
- Periodontitis: this is a severe stage periodontal disease, which is caused by untreated gingivitis. It is manifested by bad breath and gum recession, even leading to tooth loss.
- Halitosis or bad breath: it appears, in most cases, due to periodontal diseases caused by a lack of oral hygiene or due to tobacco consumption.
Oral antiseptics are formulated to stop the proliferation of bacteria that cause diseases such as periodontal disease or caries.Different oral antiseptics are used in dentistry, such as fluoride, triclosan and chlorhexidine, which are routinely used in toothpastes, mouthwashes, mouthwashes... They are essential active ingredients thanks to their antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal effects.
In dentistry, oral antiseptics such as fluoride, triclosan and chlorhexidine are routinely used in toothpastes, mouthwashes, rinses, mouthwashes, etc., and are essential for the protection of teeth.They are essential for the protection of our oral microbiota and dental tissues, thanks to their antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antibiotic, astringent and anti-inflammatory effects.
After brushing our teeth there are bacteria that remain strongly adhered to the tongue and dental anatomy, which become difficult to remove, which is why toothpastes and mouthwashes containing oral antiseptics are used to combat the accumulation of microorganisms in bacterial plaque that is the main trigger of periodontal diseases.
Oral antiseptics are natural or man-made chemicals created to combat these microorganisms.
Within oral antiseptics, chlorhexidine is used to control dental plaque with good results, fluoride helps in remineralisation of dental tissues, protecting it from caries and finally triclosan has anti-inflammatory effects, which is good for the treatment of gingivitis.
Among the mechanisms of action in oral antiseptics, it has been shown that the most efficient of them all is chlorhexidine, which can even be used in the long term under dental supervision.
The dosage of oral antiseptics in dental use was determined for children and adults, the recommended dosages for chlorhexidine are 0.2 0.12% in children and 0.2 0.13% in adults; fluoride is 0.05% in children and 0.05 0.2% in adults and triclosan 0% in children due to its toxicity and 0.2 0.5% in adults.
As with any chemical substance, an excess of it can have negative consequences, so it is always recommended to use it with a dental prescription or taking into account the recommendations given by the manufacturer on the label of over-the-counter dental products (toothpastes, mouthwashes, etc.).
Mouthwash is a perfect complement to daily dental hygiene as it has a multitude of benefits, including: preventing cavities, reducing plaque, controlling bad breath and reducing gingivitis.
The choice of the best mouthwash will depend on the needs of each individual, as there are different formulas: anti-caries, anti-plaque, special for sensitive teeth or even those that control bad breath.
There are also mouthwashes with chlorhexidine, an antiseptic that prevents the development of bacterial colonies. This is why it is often used to treat periodontal diseases such as gingivitis, to prevent infections before an operation or to cure mouth lesions.
As we have already mentioned, canker sores are round, whitish-coloured wounds that occur as a result of a bite or something rubbing against the mouth.
Although they usually disappear in a few days without treatment, they can be painful. For this reason, there are products that help relieve the pain while promoting the healing process.
The most effective treatment for canker sores is to use a specialised product to soothe the pain (such as Pyralvex or Urgo Aftas) together with a mouthwash to prevent infection and promote the healing process.
Yes, and most of them are not considered medicines, only those with a higher than normal concentration of fluoride are medicines.
Oral analgesics are medicines to relieve pain caused by inflammation, surgery, etc. in the mouth. Mouth pain has many causes and can be more or less annoying depending on the intensity and duration. If you have any problems or discomfort, it is best to see your dentist, doctor or pharmacist so that they can guide you towards the most appropriate treatment.
Eating certain foods can irritate your mouth and make the pain worse. So try to eat soft, bland foods that don't require a lot of chewing and avoid spicy or acidic foods as they can aggravate the pain. The most common are lidocaine sprays of different concentrations (hurricaine, dentispray).
They are used for quick relief of mouth pain caused by canker sores, sores, chafing as well as toothache and toothache.
