Caries and gum diseases are mainly caused by civilizatory factors.

That is the reason why it is so important to improve the nutrition to prevent directly these diseases. Fresh vegetables and fruits, few sugars, hart food and a life style are the best garanty for a good oral health.

Our specialised dental staff (Dental Hygienists) are able to inform you comprehensively about diet and develop strategies to prevent future diseases.

The second key for oral health is the perfect cleaning of the teeth. Our specialised staff check you mouth cleaning abilities.
