Sugar consumption and children’s oral health on Halloween

/in /by

By 2025, the dental industry will continue to be at the forefront of technology and patient care, incorporating methods and resources that will transform the conventional approach. In this article we highlight five key trends that have a major impact on the management and perception of oral health. These innovations are crucial for any professional looking to modernize their dental clinic and improve both the quality of service and the profitability of the business.

  1. Dental Prostheses using 3D Printing and Innovative Materials

3D printing is essential in today’s dentistry, especially for manufacturing custom dental prostheses. By 2025, the integration of this technology with advanced materials such as nanocomposites or lithium disilicate will enable dentists to provide highly precise and personalized treatments for each patient. Customizing not only increases patient satisfaction, but also improves aesthetic and functional results by adapting each prosthesis to the characteristics and requirements of each person. This quality of generating personalized solutions using 3D printing technology marks significant progress in the field of prosthetic dentistry.

In 2025, big changes will begin to be seen in the transformation of clinics into more environmentally responsible spaces. Sustainability is currently a priority, so the use of disposable plastics will be reduced, in addition to the use of paper, since all records and documents will be digitized. Energy-saving practices will be adopted, such as the use of LED lighting and low-consumption equipment. Likewise, efficient waste management is being promoted through recycling and the implementation of sustainable materials in furniture and other elements.

3. Increased focus on patient experience

Patient experience has become an essential aspect of modern dental clinics. In 2025, clinics will go beyond treatment, creating an experience that encompasses every patient touchpoint, from the first consultation to subsequent follow-up. This will include special attention to ambiance, facility convenience, and a strong digital presence that allows patients to interact with the clinic through custom apps and websites. Technology will also be used to implement automatic reminders and online consultations for customers, facilitating communication and loyalty.

4. Artificial intelligence for diagnosis and clinical optimization.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is exploring new horizons in the dental field, with uses ranging from diagnosis to business management. From a clinical standpoint, artificial intelligence can examine images and data from previous therapies to predict the progression of treatments, such as invisible aligners, and identify complications early. However, the influence of Artificial Intelligence extends beyond treatment: through data analysis, it allows improving the efficiency and profitability of the clinic by perfecting the organization of appointments and resources and offering experts a comprehensive view of the performance of their services.

5. Comprehensive approach to health and general well-being

The trend toward a more holistic approach to health has also reached dentistry, where professionals are increasingly interested in how dental health relates to the patient’s overall health. Greater cooperation between dentists and other health specialists, such as dieticians, to address oral health issues in a comprehensive manner is expected by 2025. Patients’ actions, such as their diet and lifestyle habits, can directly influence the health of their teeth and gums. Holistic dentistry becomes a valuable tool to teach patients about how their habits impact their oral health, promoting a comprehensive approach to well-being that includes prevention and treatment.

In 2025, Axis Dental will also participate in the International Dental Fair (IDS), que tendrá lugar del 25 al 29 de febrero en la ciudad alemana de Colonia. Esta feria es líder en la comunidad dental garantizando un éxito sostenible como plataforma para la innovación y las tendencias del mercado.

Sugar consumption and children’s oral health on Halloween

/in /by

 

Halloween is a holiday full of fun, costumes and, above all, candy. However, behind the excitement of collecting treats, there is a risk to oral health that we cannot ignore, especially when we talk about the little ones in the house. At Axis Dental we join in your work of informing your patients about the effects of sugar on the oral health of the little ones. To do this, in this blog we leave some information about this festival and its traditions.

How much sugar do children consume on Halloween?

During Halloween, a child can consume a kilo of candy, which is equivalent to about 3 cups of sugar or 220 sugar packets. This is an alarming figure since the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children should consume no more than 37 grams of sugar per day (about nine teaspoons). Just one small strawberry candy can contain up to 4 grams of sugar!

Excess sugar consumption has direct effects on children’s dental health. When sweets are consumed, sugar reacts with bacteria present in the mouth, producing acids that attack tooth enamel, increasing the risk of cavities. In fact, a child who frequently consumes sugar may be at high risk of developing cavities before the age of three. Additionally, dental plaque begins to form just 20 minutes after consuming sugar, so immediate cleaning is crucial to prevent damage.

Halloween Axis Dental dentista azucar

Además de las caries, un consumo elevado de azúcar puede llevar a problemas dentales como la erosión del esmalte, hipersensibilidad dental y, a largo plazo, incluso enfermedad periodontal. Estos problemas son prevenibles si se cuida la higiene bucal y se modera el consumo de dulces.

Tips for your patients to enjoy Halloween without damaging their teeth

These are some tips you can give your patients to avoid excess sugar at this party.

  1. Invite moderate consumption of candy: Although Halloween is a special night, limiting the number of candy children consume is important. The general recommendation is to consume no more than 5-6 small treats.
    Remember the need for frequent brushing: Children must brush their teeth at least three times a day: after breakfast, 30 minutes after lunch, and before bed. Each brushing should last three minutes.
  2. Recommend your patients not to eat sticky sweets:  Candies and gummies that stick to your teeth are the most dangerous, since the sugar stays in the mouth longer, increasing the risk of cavities.
  3. Suggest drinking water:  Drinking water after consuming sweets helps eliminate traces of sugar and keeps the mouth hydrated, reducing the risk of cavities.
  4. Remind your patients of the importance of taking care of baby teeth. Baby teeth are essential for children’s development, not only for chewing but also for the proper development of their jaw, to guide permanent teeth into their correct position. Cavities in baby teeth can affect the eruption of permanent teeth and cause pain and health problems.

Estos son algunos de los datos más curiosos sobre Halloween:

  • El origen de Halloween se remonta a hace 6.000 años cuando los celtas celebraban el Samhain
  • Halloween es la segunda fiesta más comercial de EE.UU, sólo por detrás de la Navidad. Se calcula que en este país se gastan en torno a 7.000 millones de dólares en fiestas, golosinas y disfraces.
  • El promedio de dulces consumidos por un estadounidense en Halloween es de 1,27 kilos.
  • Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial el truco o trato se prohibió en EE.UU. debido al racionamiento de azúcar.

Halloween can be a time full of fun for children, but it is also essential that as professionals we increase our efforts to prevent the negative effects of excessive sugar consumption on their smiles. At Axis Dental, we believe that educating families and encouraging healthy habits is key to minimizing the impact of this holiday on children’s oral health.

At Axis Dental we are always attentive to the needs of the more than 10,000 dental clinics with which we work, to support them both in their work to raise awareness about oral health and to listen to their needs for dental material that fits the treatments they perform.

Bring your patients back in Autumn: oral health and the change of season

/in /by

As the summer months transition into Autumn, it is an opportune time for dentists to remind their patients of the importance of scheduling a checkup. Autumn marks the perfect season for people to recommit to their oral health and address any concerns before the year ends. By encouraging patients to book a checkup, dentists can ensure people receive the care they need and maintain a healthy smile during the changing seasons. A key reason dentists should advocate for fall checkups is to advise patients to address summer indulgences. Throughout the summer, many people may have relaxed their oral care routines or consumed more sugary treats over the holidays.

On the other hand, autumn can affect teeth through changes in temperature. As the weather gets colder, some people may experience increased tooth sensitivity. This can occur when cold air comes into contact with your teeth, causing temporary discomfort.

Axis Dental Autumn dentistBy promoting fall checkups, dentists can help patients address any potential problems that may have arisen from the vagaries of summer and establish a clean slate for the months ahead. Additionally, as daylight hours become shorter and schedules become busier with school and work, it’s easy for oral care routines to become neglected. However, maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing regularly, is essential to preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Additionally, fall allergies can also affect oral health. Allergy symptoms, such as postnasal drip, can cause dry mouth, which creates an environment where bacteria can thrive. Staying hydrated and using antihistamines as directed by a healthcare professional can help relieve these symptoms and keep saliva flowing to protect your teeth.

Lastly, fall sports and outdoor activities are popular during this season. It is important to protect your teeth when performing these activities by wearing mouthguards to prevent dental injuries, especially in contact sports. In conclusion, while the fall season brings with it a host of pleasant experiences, it is important to consider the possible effects on oral health. By being proactive and maintaining good oral hygiene habits, we can ensure that our teeth stay healthy and strong all season long.

To effectively encourage patients to schedule fall checkups, dentists can employ several strategies, including:

– Sending reminder emails: Dentists can use email campaigns to remind patients of the importance of fall checkups and emphasize the benefits of proactive dental care.

– Offer incentives: Offering incentives, such as discounts on additional services or complimentary dental products, can motivate patients to schedule checkups and prioritize their oral health.

– Emphasize preventive care: Highlighting the value of preventive care and the role that regular checkups play in maintaining oral health can educate and empower patients to take proactive steps toward caring for their teeth and gums.

By effectively communicating the importance of fall checkups and providing a welcoming, supportive environment, dentists can empower their patients to prioritize their oral health during this seasonal transition. Encouraging patients to schedule checkups in the fall sets the stage for a healthy, confident smile as the end of the year approaches. In conclusion, by promoting fall checkups, dentists play an integral role in guiding their patients toward optimal oral health and wellness. Encouraging people to prioritize their dental care during the fall season can lead to long-term benefits and contribute to a positive and proactive approach to maintaining oral health.

Autumn is also the ideal time to consider new objectives and challenges with which to offer the best service to patients. If you need to update your stock of dental material, contact us.

How Mothers should take care of their oral health after pregnancy

/in /by

As a dentist, you play a crucial role in helping new moms take care of their oral health after pregnancy. Pregnancy and childbirth can cause changes in a woman’s body, including her oral health. That’s why it’s important to provide guidance and advice to new moms to help them maintain good oral hygiene habits and prevent dental problems. Here are some tips for advising new moms on their oral health:

  1. Encourage them to schedule a dental checkup. Advise new moms to schedule a dental checkup after pregnancy, especially if they skipped their regular dental appointments during pregnancy. As a dentist, you can check for any dental problems and provide a thorough cleaning to remove any plaque or tartar buildup.
  2. Discuss the importance of good oral hygiene. Emphasize the importance of brushing twice a day for two minutes each time, using a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Encourage them to floss at least once a day to remove plaque and food particles that their toothbrush can’t reach. Remind them that good oral hygiene habits can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
  3. Provide guidance on a healthy diet. A healthy diet can help improve oral health. Encourage new moms to eat a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy products. Advise them to limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks, which can cause tooth decay and enamel erosion.
  4. Discuss the importance of staying hydrated. Drinking water can help rinse away food particles and bacteria in the mouth. It can also help prevent dry mouth, which can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Encourage new moms to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
  5. Advise them to avoid tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol can increase the risk of oral cancer, gum disease, and tooth decay. Advise new moms to avoid or limit their use of these products for a healthy mouth.

By providing guidance and advice to new moms, you can help them maintain good oral health after pregnancy. Encourage them to schedule a dental checkup, discuss the importance of good oral hygiene, provide guidance on a healthy diet, discuss the importance of staying hydrated, and advise them to avoid tobacco and alcohol. By working together, we can help new moms maintain healthy and beautiful smiles for years to come.

Strategies for dentists: how to minimize fear of pain in patients

/in /by

Pain is a universal experience that we have all experienced at some point in our lives. In an effort to increase awareness about pain and the ways in which it can be relieved, World Pain Day is celebrated every October 17th, and its main objective is to raise awareness about pain and encourage its proper treatment. Oral and facial pain is a common problem that can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. Dentists play a crucial role in managing pain related to the mouth and teeth.

How do dentists help patients with pain?

Dentists are professionals trained in the diagnosis and treatment of oral and dental conditions that can cause pain. These experts evaluate patients experiencing pain and make an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause. Axis Dental accompanies them with a wide range of high-quality instruments that are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of pain-related causes. Some of the main dental conditions that cause pain are:

Axis Dental Dentist

  • Fractured or chipped teeth
  • Injury or trauma to the jaw or teeth
  • Impaction of Wisdom Teeth
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disease

Dentists are aware that many people experience fear or anxiety when it comes to receiving dental treatment, especially due to fear of pain. To address this problem, they use various tactics and strategies with the goal of minimizing pain and reducing patients’ anxiety. Some of these strategies are described below:

Anesthesia: Dentists often use local anesthesia to numb the area to be treated. This ensures that the patient does not feel pain during the dental procedure.

Effective communication: Dentists explain in detail the procedure to be performed and answer all the patient’s questions. This open communication helps reduce anxiety by understanding what will happen.

Conscious sedation: In cases of extreme anxiety, some dentists offer the option of conscious sedation, which can help the patient feel more relaxed during treatment.

Music and distraction: Some dental clinics offer the possibility of listening to music or watching television during treatment, which can distract the patient and make them feel more comfortable.

Relaxation techniques: Dentists can teach patients relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, to manage their anxiety during the procedure.La importancia de tratar las afectaciones dentales radica en varios aspectos cruciales. En primer lugar, el dolor dental puede ser extremadamente incómodo y afectar la calidad de vida de una persona, dificultando la alimentación y el habla. Además, si se ignora o se pospone el tratamiento, el problema dental puede empeorar y requerir procedimientos más invasivos.

Pain management in dentistry is essential to ensure oral health and patient satisfaction. Axis Dental plays a vital role in manufacturing quality dental instruments to address pain-causing conditions. On World Pain Day, we remember the importance of raising awareness about effective pain management in dentistry and the commitment of professionals to providing relief to patients.

Uses and maintenance of dental burs: a reminder from Axis Dental

/in /by

 

It happens to both children and adults. We return to work after the summer break, and it seems that we still need to remember everything!

 

It is also understandable that with the speed and dynamics of work, dental professionals delve into caring for their patients with hardly any space in which to review certain things.

Our job at Axis Dental is, in addition to providing them with quality and effective instruments, to be able to support them in the knowledge of uses of our products to guarantee the best results, as well as the durability of each tool.

Therefore, as a review on your Back to School, we remember some Rules for Use and Maintenance of our Dental Burs. Here we go

  1. Ensure sufficient cooling using a water spray to prevent deterioration of the tooth and its surroundings. The spray must be distributed over the entire active length of the instrument. A deviation of the jet may cause thermal injuries. Additional cooling is necessary for instruments with a length greater than 19 mm or with a diameter of the active part greater than 2 mm.
  2. Discard and replace. Immediately remove broken instruments as well as bent and defective instruments to avoid misuse.
  3. Do not force. During work, avoid prying and tilting the instrument and turning it on the edge.
  4. Adequate speed. You must absolutely respect the recommended rotation speeds indicated on the packaging.
  5. Dental burs occupy an important place in the basic instruments of Dentistry. Your correct choice and adaptation to the rotary instrument will determine its long-term efficiency.
  6. Very often these instruments are chosen empirically. The study of the different substances and materials on which we work and the results of different clinical studies allow us to choose the burs that best adapt.
