Nitkanje zob je enako pomembno kot ščetkanje

Brezhibna ustna higiena je prvi pogoj za popolno ustno zdravje. Brezhibne ustne higiene pa ni mogoče doseči brez uporabe zobne nitke. Zakaj?

Predstavljajmo si zob kot kocko (slika). Če bi bila ta kocka ena sama, se zdi seveda enostavno očistiti vse ploskve kocke z metlico (zobno ščetko). V ustih pa nimamo le enega samega, ampak več zob, ki se stikajo med sabo, kot bi imeli več kock v zaporedju. Zato ploskve kock, ki mejijo drugana drugo, z metlico ni mogoče očistiti. Ta stik oziroma prostor med dvema zoboma imenujemo medzobni prostor. Medzobni prostor predstavlja idealno ‘skrivališče’ za ostanke hrane in bakterije, ki so v ustni votlini. Ti so seveda vir preživetja bakterij, ki ob presnovi ostankov hrane sproščajo stranske produkte, ki povzročajo vnetje (vnetje dlesni, parodontalna bolezen, zobna gniloba). Če teh ostankov hrane ni, smo pred škodljivimi učinki bakterij varni. Zato je čiščenje medzobnih prostorov zelo pomembno, pravzaprav nujno.

Čiščenje medzobnih prostorov je mogoče le z zobno nitko ali tudi medzobno krtačko. Nobena zobna ščetka ne doseže tega zelo majhnega medzobnega prostora, zato je uporabljanje zobne nitke nujno za popolno ustno zdravje.

Welcome to our holistic dentistry clinic!

The Medical Dentistry represents a completely new and different approach to patient treatment. To start with, we refer to everyone who wishes to begin their journey of oral care at our clinic, as our guests. We aim to make every guest who enters our clinic feel comfortable and safe, help them lose their fear of dentists and trust the professionals who will be handling their dental issues. The essence of our work is to raise the awareness of the general public about the importance of maintaining the health of the entire oral cavity which has a significant impact on the body, both physically and psychologically. We believe that the success of the dental treatment our guests receive is the result of a respectful and authentic relationship between the guest themselves and our staff. Therefore, we will always take the time to get to know you as a person and not just as someone ‘who owns a set of teeth’. We will never make decisions for you. Our job and commitment is to properly educate you and explain complicated matters in a simple way, and to offer you a variety of options to choose from. This is the only way we can make sure your decisions will be in alignment with your own personal values and wishes. We firmly believe that everyone has the right to either choose to support their own health, or say ‘no’ to anything they may not want to experience.
