    Oral health is essential for general well-being, influencing quality of life, diet, speech and even self-esteem. Maintaining good oral hygiene prevents problems such as cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis and bad breath, as well as reducing the risk of systemic diseases such as diabetes, heart problems and pregnancy complications. <\/p>\n

    Disease prevention - Reduces the risk of infections and inflammation in the mouth and body.
    Improves chewing and digestion - Healthy teeth allow for a balanced diet.
    Avoid pain and complex treatments - Prevention reduces the need for invasive procedures.
    Increases self-esteem - A healthy smile improves confidence and social interaction.<\/p>\n

    To maintain good oral health, it is essential to brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily and visit the dentist regularly.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

    Devitalization is the process of removing damaged or infected dental pulp. The inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected and filled with a specific material to seal the space, preserving the tooth's structure and preventing new infections. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

    A tooth treated with devitalization (endodontic treatment) can last for many years, even a lifetime, provided it is well looked after. However, the longevity of the tooth depends on several factors, and good quality endodontic treatment can increase durability. A proper restoration in devitalized teeth that are more fragile and with little structure, a prosthetic crown will be recommended to protect them against possible fractures. Oral hygiene, brushing, flossing and regular visits to the dentist help prevent new infections. Chewing forces, bruxism or habits such as nail biting can compromise the structure of the decayed tooth. Although the tooth no longer has a nerve, it can still suffer from wear and tear or root infections, which is why monitoring by your dentist is essential. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

    Wisdom teeth are extracted under local anesthesia, ensuring that the procedure is painless. However, it is common to experience some discomfort or swelling in the following days, which can be controlled with medication and by following the dentist's instructions. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
