Hahahaha incredible how big difference one single missing tooth can make!! 🤪

Today I'm going to tell you about a disease that will give you some insight in why it's important to have a balanced and comprehensive nutrition.

During lockdown I started to think that I wanted to offer my patients and friends more than just a better oral health and nicer teeth. I wanted to be able to offer a general better health as well!! 💚

So we invested in some products we liked and have shown great health results all over the world! 🌍

Have you heard about scurvy?

Scurvy is a disease resulting from lack of vitamin C and vitamins C is required to make the building blocks for collagen.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, found in the bones, muscles, skin, tendons and the periodontal ligaments. It is the substance that holds the body TOGETHER.

Scurvy was described as early as the time of ancient Egypt. During the Age of Sail, it was assumed that 50 percent of the sailors would die of scurvy on a given trip and most of them lost their teeth.

Early symptoms are fatigue and tiredness. Other following symptoms are skin changes with roughness, gum disease and teeth loosening etc

Unfortunately I have never had really thick hair, skin or nails but I have always taken some extra vitamins and minerals during few months a year to keep them in best shape because I know that I will lose up to 30% of collagen each decade...

By producing and adding some extra collagen myself I'll slow down my ageing process. Are you with me?

Here are some more collagen benefits...

For me sharing is caring... so I want to share one great product Valentina (my oldest daughter) and I are addicted to right now. A beauty drink- a collagen drink filled with good stuff!

So how can you get this drink?

1. We sell it at our dental clinic in Fuengirola. https://nordicdentalcentre.com

2. You can buy it on my website https://christinaradics.jeunesseglobal.com/en-ES/naara (make sure you change "market" to your country for the correct shipping and currency.

When you have ordered the product, just send me your order number and I'll send you a GIFT (A hydra sheet face mask)! 🎁

If you have any problems finding the product or ordering, please send me a message to +34657890674 or an email to [email protected]

The recommendation is always to use these collagen products during at least 3 months for the best result.

In my next blog post I'll tell you more about how the the collagen drink works and how you can mix it.

Did I mention that this drink is a best seller in Brazil? 😉

"Who wants to live forever" is the name of the song Freddie Mercury sang in 1992.

We all know that we won't live forever but we can live as long and healthy as possible. Don't you think?

That's why I wanted to spend this Sunday evening to tell you a little bit about how to help you with this.

In the past the general health was seen as a separate thing from the oral heath and vice versa. Today we know that there is absolutely no separation in between them and that bad oral health is lethal.

The human mouth contains around 500- 1000 types of bacteria with various functions as part of the human flora and oral microbiology. Oral bacteria work with our immune system to keep our bodies disease free by fighting disease-producing germs that try to come in through the mouth.

Some serious and possibly life-threatening diseases have been found to be connected to oral hygiene. These diseases are not passed through saliva, but are still influenced by the mouth's ecology and bacteria. Streptococcus mutans, a common oral bacteria discussed above, is a pathogen that causes pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media, and meningitis.

Oral infections, especially periodontitis (gum infection) affect the course and pathogenesis of a number of systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes and low birth weight. You can read more about the study here at "Boost your immune system" on our website https://www.nordicdentalcentre.com/

So what can we do to BOOST our immune system and live a longer and healthier life? 💜

It's important to be clear that it's not about doing one thing only. It's the summation of several things.

As we already now it's important to eat well,daily work outs and exercise, sleep well etc ...but what I notice many times is that many people think that when you don't have toothache or gum pain it means that you don't have any infection in your mouth.

THAT IS A MYTH!

Decays, root- and gum infections has very little or nothing to do with pain. Sometimes you feel pain or sensitivity but in most of the cases the patients don't feel anything until it's too late...

Please have look at the picture above. Do you see the red area around the roots? There you have thousands of pathogenic bacterias that can be spread to your lungs, heart and the rest of your body and cause serious conditions.

So what can you do to prevent this from happening?

First of all we have to think of what we eat and drink to get the right amount of nutrients. Then we have to take care of our teeth and gum by using good daily routines of proper tooth brushing and tooth floss/interdental brush every morning and night before going to bed.

Now your'e probably thinking ... Great! That's what I'm doing (except maybe the flossing part hahahahaha) !

But is this enough?

Unfortunately not. My recommendation is to visit your dentist once a year and a dental hygienist (for a proper dental cleaning) at least once a year as well.

Why?

Because like I said earlier in the post ...you will probably not notice when your'e starting to get an oral infection and you can develop one even if you are doing the best you can to keep your teeth clean. So the best way to prevent this from happening is to have regular professional dental examinations/ check ups.

Hello everyone!

I hope you and your family are fine and healthy!

Last few months have been strange and different in many ways. I think we all have gone through these months differently.

I'm normally a morning person. I wake up between 6 and 7 in the morning, drink two cups of coffee and go for a run. During this lockdown i slept until 9 and didn't stress, I took the advantage to rest because I realised that maybe there will not be so much of a vacation this year... 😅

But I had one goal. I had to finish our dental clinics webpage!

Our website hadn't been updated for several years and I had found difficulty to find time for it. Now I had the opportunity.

I wanted it to be a modern website with good information and illustrative, easy to navigate and understand for everyone.

You always put more time and effort to a thing then you actually imagine...from picking the colour, theme , style, pictures, texts etc...

I had never had so many messages back and forth as I had with my "webguy"...from early mornings to late nights...

Dentistry has changed a lot the last years ...It´s not only about removing pain, extractions and fillings. Its about having a longer and healthier life. It's about having a life with more quality and confidence that will help you attract more positive things, people and even more money. I'll go deeper in that subject in another post. Bad oral health affects more than you think. We have linked an article about this subject. on our webpage if you are interested. You'll find it beneath SERVICES- Boost your immune system! https://www.nordicdentalcentre.com/

Maybe we know what a healthy smile is but what is a confident smile? What makes a smile look good? It is no coincidence that most of us can agree that Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful woman with a lovely face and smile. There is a mathematical explanation why- It's called the golden ratio and was discovered by Euclid, an ancient greek mathematician.

We practitioners are guided by the golden ratio when we do aesthetical facial treatments but also when we do smile designs.

Before we just took impressions of the patients teeth and it was up to the dental technician to make the teeth and smile. Today a good dentist has to know and be able to analyse the patients whole face to achieve the best aesthetic result. Because a beautiful and confident smile is not only about the teeth.

Today many dentist call themselves smile designers as well. But to be a really good smile designer it's important to listen to what the patient's expectations are and keep the teeth personal and not artificial.

The English version is totally finished and right now we are preparing the Swedish and Spanish one too...

I felt very creative during the lockdown and made some videos you can see on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSuS6ogbimY More sleep and time for yourself can make wonders and open up your inner creativity! Did you also notice that the last weeks? I'll keep that lesson close to my heart and learn from it.

I'm very grateful for all the people around me who has inspired and helped me with all these creations...

Spreading love and smiles during this difficult time has helped me to focus on other things than this virus.

Thank you! 🌷
