If teeth don't look good, are painful or even missing, the quality of life suffers in several areas. After all, we speak, smile, eat and sing with our mouth and teeth. In the medium term, complications in the mouth affect the whole body. Oral health is an interplay of around 300 types of bacteria that colonize the oral cavity. Instead of "microbial communities", we use the common term oral flora. Read the following 5 tips on how you can support your oral flora:

Dental hygiene from birth
Brushing your teeth regularly is half the battle - this is particularly important from an early age. Pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans are not part of the natural oral flora and cause tooth decay. Shortly after birth, these bacteria can be passed on to the child via dental plaque (bacterial plaque). To eliminate Streptococcus mutans from the oral flora, there is the Dental Protect tooth powder and the Dental Repair lozenges with wild berry flavor. The probiotic lozenges protect the teeth against tooth decay, inflammation (gingivitis) and bad breath (halitosis). They are suitable for children from the age of 6.
Protect gum pockets
Unfortunately, the gums are a very sensitive human organ. Inflammation or dangerous gum pockets could cause you sleepless nights. This can also be prevented by Dental Repair Probiotic Lozenges can protect you. Just 2-3 tablets a day and the colonization of pathogenic, caries- and inflammation-causing germs is prevented by protective bacterial strains.
Interdental spaces need attention
Hardly anyone likes going to the dentist, but it goes without saying that regular visits are highly advisable. If your teeth have become discolored due to irregular brushing, smoking or drinking coffee, a professional teeth cleaning can help. You should not neglect the spaces between your teeth either. Using dental floss or interdental brushes once a day is helpful to prevent tartar build-up.

No smoking and low alcohol consumption
It is generally known that cigarettes and alcohol consumption are not good for the liver and lungs. Cigarettes in particular cause yellowish discoloration of the teeth and damage to the gums and facial skin after many years of consumption. In extreme cases, cigarette consumption can also lead to tooth loss if there is also a lack of nutrients. This is because smokers need more vitamin C than non-smokers:
"Smokers have higher metabolic losses and lower vitamin Cconcentrations in their blood than non-smokers. Their turnover of vitamin C is 40% higher than that of non-smokers. "*
