Has your dental crown come off? Whatever you do, do not try and glue it back on!

Budapest is the capital of Hungary, and is known for its excellent cuisine, ancient artefacts and beautiful architecture, along with great and inexpensive medical professionals. Small wonder that, in a world of cheap air fare and outrageous medical bills for any kind of private medical intervention (especially dentistry), dental holidays have become one of the most important industries in this small Central European country.

​More than 90% of adults have or will develop dental caries within their lifetime. This does not mean that dental caries or tooth decay is unpreventable or inevitable at all; the best way to prevent it is with proper nutrition. This means eating certain foods in order to replenish the nutrients that may have been dissolved or used up by your body, and not eating certain foods that are bad for your teeth.

​Mouthwash is extremely good for the teeth and the gums. It can get to places where you cannot reach with a toothbrush or even with dental floss, the other two members of the holy trinity of at home oral care. Mouthwash is effective at removing stains, killing bacteria and freshening the breath by drenching the soft tissues and removing the bacterial colonies living on the tooth gaps, the tongue and the periodontium. But is every mouthwash created equal? And how often should mouthwash be used for maximum effectiveness? Can you overuse mouthwash? These are some of the questions we seek to answer.

A little bit of alcohol can be good for your oral health: alcohol disinfects the mouth and kills all bacteria it comes into contact with, red wine can boost the blood vessels in your mouth and lead to more active immune responses in the mouth, and it can reduce swelling and thin your blood as well. Excessive drinking, however, will cause problems, and a life of alcoholism will lead to tooth loss, gum disease, tooth decay and dental implant failure. If you have dental implants do not drink with any sort of regularity, as this will cause alcohol induced dental implant failure.
