At birth, a child has no microorganisms in their mouth. However, upon contact with the outside world, certain types of microorganisms settle in the oral cavity. Some of them are completely harmless, and are even beneficial and common in the oral cavity. Until the first tooth erupts, the mouth does not contain those microorganisms that multiply in the space between the gums and teeth, and grow and develop without the presence of oxygen.<\/p>\n
The oral flora changes throughout life depending on diet, caries, hygiene habits, and later on prosthetic replacements, etc.<\/p>\n
Defense in the oral cavity<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite millions of microorganisms, our body has developed a perfect defense system. It consists primarily of healthy and unharmed mucous membranes, but also saliva, which constantly flows in and cleans and reduces the oral flora.<\/p>\n In a healthy body, microbes are in balance with each other, but in illness this balance is disrupted so that some microorganisms become dangerous and cause diseases. It is important to emphasize that the secret to protecting against disease lies in a healthy, moist, and undamaged oral mucosa.<\/p>\n The secretion of saliva and secretions from the gingival sulcus washes away microbes and food debris during chewing.<\/p>\n A healthy oral cavity is a reflection of our heritage, but also a reflection of our care. Therefore, the beauty and function of this organ depend on our diet and hygiene habits.<\/p>\n Drink enough water (up to two liters per day), always have clean dentures, as this allows the dentition to self-clean. At work during the day, especially after each large meal, if possible, rinse your teeth, (it is best to brush your teeth), eat an apple, or use chewing gum to reduce acidity. Make sure that your diet is balanced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":653,"template":"","class_list":["post-654","vise-o-zubima","type-vise-o-zubima","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stomatolog-ksaver.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vise-o-zubima\/654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stomatolog-ksaver.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vise-o-zubima"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stomatolog-ksaver.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vise-o-zubima"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stomatolog-ksaver.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stomatolog-ksaver.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
