To all this we must add the coronavirus pandemic, which among other health consequences has aggravated pathologies of the mouth.

Although, as a positive part, today oral health has become a priority issue for the WHO, where the main challenge is to move from the curative approach to the preventive approach.

Currently, one in two people suffer from gingivitis and one in three, periodontitis.

The first is the prelude to periodontitis, a serious gum disease that if left untreated can lead to tooth loss.

Despite their seriousness, these diseases can be prevented if good oral hygiene habits are adopted.

In addition, taking care of the mouth, health in general is taken care of.

In fact, people with periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis or periodontitis, are more likely to suffer from diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases (or complications if they already have them), thus reducing the quality of life of patients.

Therefore, prevention is key when it comes to preventing gum disease from developing and ending up causing health problems.

In this sense, correct and complete oral hygiene is the first (and necessary) step.

To do this, it is essential to always use a toothbrush and interdental appliances, in addition to toothpaste and a mouthwash with specific active ingredients for each type of mouth.

Correct oral hygiene for everyone

And it is that each mouth is unique, that is why the VITIS brand, from DENTAID, offers solutions from the first teeth to adulthood.

And, in its commitment to guaranteeing the best oral care, remember that the mouth is not an isolated system, but that it must be cared for and maintained in the same way as other parts of the body.

Thanks to its commitment to research, VITIS has developed everything from brushes for each mouth to antiseptics with active ingredients such as Cetylperidinium Coruro (CPC), treatments that reinforce, repair and remineralise enamel, or whitening and children's ranges.

Its formulations are adapted to each moment and need.

Oral pathologies do not remain in the

mouth

People with severe periodontitis have a 2-fold increased risk of suffering a myocardial infarction and more than 4 times greater risk of suffering a vascular accident.

According to the latest Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, periodontitis is already a risk factor.

Therefore, it is recommended that cardiovascular patients use toothpaste with antiplaque action three times a day, perform interdental hygiene daily and twice a day complement it with a mouthwash to protect the gums.

For this type of patient, experts recommend the VITIS gums range, just as for people with diabetes and pregnant women.

And it is estimated that in Spain there are 5.3 million diabetics and when they are not well controlled, periodontitis will be more severe and will progress more quickly.

In addition, diabetics are more likely to suffer from infections, xerostomia or dental hypersensitivity.

On the other hand, good glycemic control decreases the risk of suffering from periodontal disease.

In other words, diabetic patients should integrate correct oral hygiene and specific products for the gums on a daily basis.

VITIS Gums with its specific formulation helps prevent gingivitis, preventing and helping to treat inflammation and bleeding gums.

Finally, during pregnancy there are biological and behavioral changes that naturally affect a woman's oral health.

The bacterial plaque, the immune system are altered and, sometimes, nausea or vomiting are added.

All this means that between 60 and 75% of pregnant women have gingivitis, and 25% end up developing periodontitis.

Therefore, it is important for pregnant women to take care of their gums, since the baby's immune system is formed during the gestation period and during the first year of life.

Some diseases, such as hepatitis or HIV, are passed from mother to child.

It may also be the case that oral bacteria are found in the placenta.

And, once there, they could pass the baby through the amniotic fluid, for example.

Therefore, maintaining proper oral hygiene and using products such as VITIS Encías, formulated with CPC, a powerful antiseptic, helps prevent gingivitis.
