Know the myths and truths of gum It can cause tooth decay, but also makes the teeth cleaning

 

The idea that gum is mania of child is more than surpassed. The adults are so fans of the chewing gum as small. The fact is that the food industry has been dedicated to creating products increasingly full of requirements which fit into the demands of great people, such as sugar-free gum and gum that promises to whiten teeth, but without leaving aside the colored versions, stuffed and more varied formats for the kids. The gum was always considered the villain of the mouth to cause tooth decay and seen as a delicacy that hinders the diet. But he doesn’t bring any benefit to the regime and for the oral health? The nutritionist from MinhaVida, Roberta Stella, and the dentist Sydney Leonard Goldmann help to clarify the myths and truths related to habit.

 

The chewing gum are quite harmful to the diet
Myth. The chewing gum, even those containing sugar, are not very calorific and even help fool the hunger. Of course the gum with fillings should be avoided, because they are more calorie. A unit of gum stuffed presents, on average, 15 calories. Two units of this gum add 1 point in the list of diet of points (from a program using points instead of calories to guide the daily consumption of foods). While a sugar-free gum introduces 2.5 calories per unit, being needed 9 units to earn 1 point. “If the chewing gum habit for many a day, the best option is the gum without sugar not to accumulate points or calories to the diet,” says Roberta Stella.

The gum can cause stomach pain
Truth. If the gum is chewed inasmuch as several times a day and the person is there are many hours without feeding, will stimulate the production of stomach gastric juice, which contains hydrochloric acid. The substance will act directly on the wall of the stomach may cause pain. This way, you should avoid chewing many units of gum per day.

Every type of gum causes tooth decay
Myth. The sugar present in the gum is the major cause of tooth decay. Therefore, the diet versions and light can stay out of that list. However, some dyes and preservatives of composition of gum can be made from starch and carbohydrate, which will turn into sugar and are also harmful to teeth. “Choose to versions without sugar and colorless, which are the most secure,” says Goldmann. Another point is that some chewing gum, depending on its composition, may leave the pH of the mouth very acidic and cause tooth decay.

The gum can be beneficial for oral hygiene
Truth. The mechanics of chewing gum and the friction of goma with the teeth causes a surface cleaning of the teeth. How much thicker it is, the better the result. “But the gum does not replace the toothbrush and floss and neither has the power to remove the plaque or prevent the formation of it,” explains the dentist.

The gum alleviates bad breath
Truth. With superficial cleanup that the gum provides, the breath is favored since the renewal of the cells in the mouth. But it is a momentary action. And is not for everyone. Those who suffer with dental problems such as caries, periodontitis or restore damaged, can stay with the smelly accented with the use of gum. Incidentally, this is the indication that there is a problem.

Gum helps to whiten teeth
Myth. Even the versions that promise this benefit contain very low concentrations of peroxide (substance feet) to provide some bleaching. In addition, it cannot be used in high concentrations in goma for being a toxic product. “The peroxide can burn the gum. Therefore, only a dentist must handle the substance, avoiding the risks, “explains Goldmann.

The gum is indicated for certain oral treatments
Truth. In some cases, the gum is recommended with action of physiotherapy. When there is inflammation of the muscles or limited opening of the mouth (trismus muscle), the use of goma is beneficial to minimize the swelling, strengthen the musculature buccal and recover the movements of the jaw.

one of four Spanish forgets to brush the teeth during the holidays

-The summer is one of the times of increased risk for oral health due to the abandonment of the habits of daily hygiene

– dental injuries increase 30% in summer due to the practice of sports in the open air and road traffic accidents

Barcelona, 2011-July of four Spanish stop brushing on vacationwhich, coupled with unbalanced diets and products with an excess of sugar intake, promotes the emergence of infections, gingivitis and tooth decay, according to a study by laboratories Lacer, expert in oral health. This circumstance, the increase is compounded in dental trauma, which in summer rises to almost 30% from the rest of the year, as a direct result of sports to the outdoors and the increase in road accidents.

According to Javier Mira, medical laboratories Lacer director, ‘ ’ the holiday season is one of the greatest risk to the oral health, it is very conducive to the temporary abandonment of the habits of daily hygiene by the alteration of the schedules, the forgetfulness of the brush or the impossibility of brush our teeth when we spent the day outside the home. Added to this abuse of drinks sweetened and iced; the increase in consumption of toxic chemicals such as coffee, tobacco and alcohol and an unbalanced diet, we are encouraging the proliferation of microorganisms in the mouth ’ ’.

In addition, during these months, the increase in temperatures can cause paintings of dehydration, with a direct effect on oral health: ‘ ’ when a person is dehydrated, salivation capacity decreases, so it can not drag food residues remaining in the mouth. At the same time, the saliva loses some of his ability as a disinfectant locally, resulting in gingivitis and periodontitis processes and, in extreme cases, canker sores, and xerosis (dryness) oral with sobreinfección by fungi ’ ’, ensures Mira. To avoid dehydration, it is recommended to drink between 1.5 and 2 litres of water daily.

Dental trauma

Sports and traffic accidents are the leading causes of dental injuries in summer, increase up to 30% compared to the rest of the year. For contact sports and other activities outdoors, such as biking, 80% of injuries occur in the upper part of the mouth, mainly in the Central and lateral incisors and are more frequent in children; While in traffic accidents, motorists are the group most at risk.

In most cases, is of dentoalveolary fractures and dislocations, which affected structures in support of the tooth, which causes their mobility or displacement.

BENEO presents new solutions sweeteners with ISOMALT, Stevia and PalatinoseTM in the international confectionery fair of 2012

29 January to 1 February 2012, Cologne, Hall 10.2, Stand F62

Madrid, January 2012- BENEO, one of the leading manufacturers of functional ingredients, will present a series of new solutions sweeteners in the edition of this year of the international confectionery fair (ISM). These solutions include samples of candy sugar-free flavored herbs made with ISOMALT and Stevia, as well as a new concept of bubble gum that, for the first time presents the BENEO (Isomaltulose) combined with Stevia PalatinoseTM *. Combining functional load sweeteners of BENEO with Stevia, can be found several nutritional and health benefits without compromising the taste and palatability of the final product.

Chewing gum with PalatinoseTM (and Stevia)

In the ISM, BENEO will present the ’first’ gum with PalatinoseTM and Stevia – chewing gum does not cause tooth decay which is entirely palatable. The combination of these ingredients reveals a sweetness resembles the sugar that successfully masks the taste to licorice sometimes associated with Stevia. With the growth of the market of the children’s chewing it represents 12.2 per cent of the value of the total market of gum worldwide (Euromonitor 2011), and product launches with Stevia which have more than tripled in 2010-2011 worldwide according to Mintel, the natural evolution is the combination of the benefits of Stevia with the nutritional and technical benefits of the sugar does not cause BENEO, PalatinoseTM caries.

The next generation of BENEO sugar can be processed as sucrose. Conservation tests have shown that both the texture of the nucleus and the crunch are similar to the chewing of sucrose. However, unlike sucrose, PalatinoseTM has a low Glycemic and not index causes tooth decay. Its slow dissolution kinetics helps release the flavors for a long time and its very low higroscopicidad increases the time for the conservation of the gum. In addition, the use of PalatinoseTM in the gum allows retaining the shape of the kernel immediately, while other gum cores have to be stored for a specified period of time to produce similar results.

Caramel sugar with ISOMALT and Stevia

In the ISM, BENEO also presented a candy without sugar-flavored herbs made with ISOMALT and Stevia. The combination of ISOMALT and Stevia promotes a wide variety of flavors without any negative aftertaste like that sometimes is associated with Stevia. This is due to the fact that ISOMALT enhances both the fruit flavors and subtle flavours and presents good stability, which guarantees that the taste of the product is not altered with the passage of time. The combination of ISOMALT and Stevia not only guarantees a profile of taste refined during the lifetime of the product, but it also produces other nutritional and technical benefits that include: without sugar, low Glycemic, does not cause tooth decay, low in calories and the sugar-like sweetness.

Both PalatinoseTM and ISOMALT are obtained from sugar beet and possess a sweetener similar profile. Recently, the European authority on food security (EFSA) has approved its glucémicos benefits and dental health. Both sweeteners cargo offer manufacturers an alternative to sugar, while providing benefits to consumers.

’ consumers and manufacturers expect a healthy alternative to have a taste, functionality and a volume similar, exactly the same that are used to experiment with sugar. ” «Thanks to the work we have done to develop the optimum sweetening matter profile by combining ISOMALT and PalatinoseTM with Stevia, we can now get a series of nutritional benefits, taste and health», says Rudy Wouters, Vice President of the BENEO-Technology Center.

The obtaining of sensations of flavors balanced with ISOMALT and Stevia was made possible by BENEO-Technology Center. This newly created Knowledge Center specialists have worked closely to overcome the challenges associated with the formulations with Stevia. The experience of BENEO in the combination of their load with Stevia sweeteners favours the development of healthy products with a balanced sweetening and added benefits.

Oral B Pro Health Clinical Sensitive

by | Jan 28, 2012 | | 0 |

Designed for people with dental hypersensitivity, the new toothpaste of Oral-B offers immediate relief and combat effectively the sensitivity in the long term.

the formula of the new Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Protection Sensitive brings as main ingredient the stannous chloride, which, associated to the other active principles of product, helps block the openings of small tubules (MicroChannel plates having a) connected to nerves of the tooth, inhibiting the movement of the fluid and preventing external agents activate pain.

the component operates from the first brushing, providing instant relief. With continued use, significantly reduces the sensitivity, lasting manner, because it creates a barrier effect, a kind of protective shield on the surface of the enamel of the teeth, avoiding acid erosion (damage to the teeth by acids, often from food). This is possible thanks to the Association of stannous chloride to sodium gluconate, which increases the bioavailability (absorption index and speed) of stannous chloride.

This formula of Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Protection Sensitive sodium fluoride, brings the added benefit of superior protection against tooth decay. The ingredient improves remineralization of teeth, increasing incorporation of calcium and phosphate ions in enamel and/or dentin damaged. The structure of enamel formed after the incorporation of fluoride, fluoroapatita, increases its resistance against a future

demineralization.

about three out of four people have some sort of teeth sensitivity. “Studies indicate that, immediately after use, Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Protection Sensitive provided immediate relief of sensitivity, acting more quickly than other creams on the market that have the same purpose. The benefit was even greater after three days of use, demonstrating that the product plays in protecting against the causes of sensitivity in the long run, “says Dr. Walter Bretz, professor in the Department of Karyology of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of New York.

Oral-B Pro-

Health Clinical Protection Sensitive also contains Pítico Acid and zinc, which offer benefits anticálculo, because they act by inhibiting the growth of calcium phosphate crystals formed when calcium and phosphate are joined together. These crystals eventually harden within the plate, forming the calculation. The Pítico Acid still collaborates to avoid formation of stains on the surface of the tooth. Completing the formulation, the product brings the Hydrated Silica, which acts on the control of spots, completing the careful with areas that dentists more check, which include decreased sensitivity, fight against cavities, beware of the gums, tartar control, improving breath, combating the accumulation of plaque and stain removal

Brushing technique can magnify caries prevention

Brushing technique can magnify caries prevention

by | Sep 23, 2011 | | 0 |

At the Faculty of public health (FSP) of USP, research demonstrates the effectiveness of the technique vestibule-lingual in brushing of the teeth to prevent tooth decay in a supervised school programme with fluorinated toothpastes.

Brushing

the study involved 284 children five years of age, with at least one permanent molar units in six public teaching kids of the city of São Vicente (Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista, São Paulo). Conducted by professor Paulo Frazão, the search took support of Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (Fapesp) and was published in the journal BMC Oral Health

.

the study compared a conventional program features similar to those programs that are conducted in most of the units surveyed, with a modified program. The conventional programme is composed of oral health education activity (usually a lecture) and disclosure activity plaque followed by brushing with toothpaste helper fluorinated overseen by a dental health held four times a year. In the remaining school days, daily brushing, indirectly supervised by teachers, is held at the patio of the school

.

in the modified program, in addition to these activities, the helper of oral health was able to apply in permanent molars erupt into the technique of brushing vestibule-lingual using the participant’s brush, five times a year. The helper, positioned beside or behind the head of the participant, checks whether the permanent molars (located behind the last milk teeth) already erupted. If so, aligns the brush with the molar surface, which is lower than the other teeth, and performs brushing. In the modified program enrolled 21.6 per thousand children the lesions less than in conventional

.

Between the boys, whose risk of dental caries was higher compared to the girls, the incidence was 50% lower in the group that received this technique of brushing. It was concluded that the program of supervised dental brushing was modified effective in boys, suggesting substantial decrease in dental treatment needs in school curricula more vulnerable to decay, so it can prevent caries lesions more than how it is done currently.

The EFSA concluded that consumption offood/beverages that contain ISOMALT or PalatinoseTM instead of carbohydrates ofeasy fermentation, as the traditional sugar carbon, can help tokeep the mineralization of the teeth by the decrease of thedemineralization of tooth. Added: “to carry the statement […] East»type of food or beverages [should] not reduce dental plaque pH bybelow 5.7 for a period of up to 30 minutes after consumption nor«lead to dental erosion». As such, the food must be subjected to theknown telemetry of the pH of dental plaque developed by the UniversityZurich and promoted by the Organization non-profit ToothfriendlyInternational. Measurements are carried out in a systematic manner ininstitutions as the University of Zürich dental (Switzerland) or theUniversity Witten-Herdecke preventive dentistry (Germany).

The Dean of dental school of the Peru requests the President-elect to declare oral health alert

Dean of the dental school of Peru, Miguel Angel Rojas Saravia, he stated that in the presidential message of July 28 President-elect Ollanta Humala Tasso should be considered as a priority health oral in the country, because a large part of the Peruvian population is suffering from oral health problems and lack of education in this field.

“Any message the nation focuses on the oral health of the country, therefore this disease progresses significantly to cause the loss of teeth,” added the specialist, who noted that 95 per cent of the Peruvian population is suffering from decay and 60% lacked teeth.

Dean proposed a greater involvement of practitioners of dentistry in remote areas of the country and the distribution altogether pasta dental fluoride, generic toothbrushes and dental floss, which must arrive at the request of the Ministry of health, as had been done with the expansion of vaccine.

“So we will reduce the risk of tooth decay and lower disease rates to 50% in five years,” said Saravia red.

Also stressed that this is a problem that has been dragging since makes a number of Governments, but none has given due importance.

Finally the Dean of the COP invoked a dialogue with the elected Government to consider strategies of oral health in order to reduce this scourge.

Experts recommend a first visit early to avoid the 'sin' associate the dentist with a bad experience

Experts recommend a first visit early to avoid the 'sin' associate the dentist with a bad experience

Experts recommend a first visit early to avoid the ‘sin’ associate the dentist with a bad experience

 

 

Facing new and unknown things (especially if sitting in a barber’s chair or a dentist) is always an adventure for the ‘sin’ of the house, which sometimes can be seen as a small ‘trauma’ unless we take appropriate action. For this reason and to avoid tears and unpleasant experiences , experts recommend that the first visit by children to the dentist as soon as possible: neither 1 nor 2, the ‘sin’ should first visit the dentist after the age of 3 years , and always as a routine visit or ‘check’, before there is a problem.

The first contact of children with your dentist should be linked to something nice (where possible), so as not to associate the clinical and chair of a specialist with an assault or a negative or painful experience. From there, experts recommend regular visits, two per year will be sufficient to detect any problems that the ‘sin’ may arise in their teeth , and that, normally, and at this age tend to be mostly the dreaded cavities . And this is the main dental condition that can occur during the first years of life, but is unlikely to occur if we take care: Typically, only children with a genetic predisposition or poor oral hygiene, tooth decay can begin to develop after the age of 4 years. The way to ‘fight’ from near the cradle: teach them to maintain proper hygiene habits from 2 years, a balanced diet low in sweets, and regular intake of fluoride, which strengthened from ‘little ones’ the fabric of their permanent teeth, which mineralization begins virtually at birth.
