The ultimate guide to optimal oral care

Good oral care

Good dental health plays a crucial role in our overall well-being and has far-reaching effects on our health in general. Here are some reasons why good dental health is so important.

Caries prevention

Good dental health helps prevent tooth decay. Dental caries is a common dental disease caused by bacteria that form plaque on the teeth. These bacteria feed on sugar, releasing acids that attack tooth enamel and can lead to tooth decay. If tooth decay is left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection and even loss of teeth.

Healthy gums

Good dental health also involves taking care of the gums. Inflammation and infection of the gums, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, can occur when plaque and bacteria build up along the gum line. This can lead to bleeding gums, swelling and long-term tooth loss. Regular brushing, flossing and visiting us at the ALPINE WHITE Studio can reduce the risk of gum disease.

General health

There is a strong link between oral health and overall health. Some studies have shown that poor dental health can be linked to various systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and respiratory disease. It is thought that inflammation in the mouth can lead to an increased inflammatory burden in the body, which increases the risk of these diseases. By keeping our teeth and gums healthy, we also help maintain our overall health.

Aesthetic appearance

Healthy teeth play an important role in our aesthetic appearance and self-confidence. A bright smile with white, straight teeth conveys a positive image and can help us feel more comfortable in social and professional situations. Good dental health helps prevent tooth discolouration, decay and tooth loss, which can affect the appearance of the teeth.

Longevity of the teeth

Through good dental care and regular check-ups at the ALPINE WHITE Studio, we can help keep our teeth healthy for a lifetime. By avoiding tooth decay, gum disease and other problems, we can minimise the risk of tooth damage and loss. Losing teeth can lead to difficulty chewing, dietary restrictions and a decline in quality of life. Good dental health therefore contributes to the long-term functioning of our teeth.

Tips and tricks for healthy teeth

Here are some important tips and tricks that can help you keep your teeth healthy.

Brushing teeth

Regular and thorough brushing is essential for optimal dental hygiene. Use a high-quality toothpaste that suits your needs. At ALPINE WHITE, we offer you three different toothpastes. Whitening Toothpaste Extra White for a healthy, extra-white smile. Whitening Toothpaste Anti Plaque for stubborn plaque and Whitening Toothpaste Sensitivity Relief for sensitive teeth. 

Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes, thoroughly cleaning all tooth surfaces.

Dental floss and interdental brushes

In addition to brushing your teeth, cleaning the spaces between your teeth is important to remove plaque and food debris. Regularly floss or use interdental brushes to clean these hard-to-reach areas. This will help prevent tooth decay and gum problems caused by bacteria build-up in the interdental spaces.

Electric toothbrush

An electric toothbrush can be an effective complement to a manual toothbrush. The rotating or oscillating movements of the electric toothbrush can help remove plaque more thoroughly. Choose an electric toothbrush with an attachment brush that suits your needs and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Fluoride toothpaste

Fluoride is an important mineral for dental health as it strengthens tooth enamel and protects against tooth decay. So use a fluoride toothpaste to protect your teeth. All our Whitening Toothpastes contain fluoride.

Healthy diet

A balanced diet is not only good for your general health, but also for your dental health. Reduce the consumption of sugary foods and drinks as they can lead to tooth decay. Instead, eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and calcium-rich foods to strengthen and protect your teeth.

ALPINE WHITE for healthy teeth

Regular visits to our ALPINE WHITE Studio are crucial to maintaining your dental health. Our dental professionals can identify potential problems early and take appropriate action. Ask our dental experts for individual recommendations on dental hygiene and oral care. You will soon find studios all over Switzerland.

Professional teeth cleaning

In addition to daily oral hygiene, it is advisable to have your teeth professionally cleaned at our studio on a regular basis. This way you can protect yourself from visits to the dentist's office. This is because professional dental cleaning removes stubborn plaque and tartar that can accumulate despite thorough dental care. Dental hygiene also helps prevent tooth decay, bad breath and gum disease such as periodontitis.

Bleaching

At our ALPINE WHITE Studio you can also have discolourations disappear optimally. In-office bleaching is completely painless and free of unnecessary additives. Our bleaching is based on the ingredient PAP, which enables a gentle and healthy whitening of the teeth. It is best to combine bleaching with dental hygiene, so you not only benefit from healthy, white teeth, but also from a lower price. If you have implants or veneers, these will not be whitened, but only brought to their original colour. You can find out more about our bleaching on the treatment page or in the FAQ.

Oral Health Checkup

At the Oral Health Checkup, your oral health will be checked and the optimal dental care set from our products and treatments will be created for you.
