Individual approach, continuous education, more than twenty years of experience—at home and around the world, modern technologies, precision, and patients’ trust in the functional and aesthetic result. All of this—and more—is provided by the ArtDentistic dental clinic, owned by dentists and the Michnovci spouses. Prevention, regular dental hygiene, and quality care for your teeth at home can be ensured by the fact that you’ll come to ArtDentistic sooner for a good cup of coffee than for long-term procedures in the dental chair.
Prevention starts in the dental chair…
Many of us didn’t even know about dental hygienists a few years ago, and we weren’t looking for them either. Today, however, we all know very well that dental hygiene plays an irreplaceable role mainly in prevention. “If a patient undergoes dental hygiene at least twice a year, the risk of not detecting more serious problems with teeth or gums is significantly reduced,” says dental hygienist Valéria Michnová. Dental hygiene includes not only removing dental plaque and tartar, removing pigmented staining, removing plaque, fluoridating the teeth, and treating the gums in periodontitis or periodontal disease, but also preparing the examination at the dentist’s office itself. If you are among patients who visit their dentist regularly, it doesn’t mean we don’t take care of our teeth at home—quite the opposite. “We try to teach patients how to take care of their teeth and their mouth cavity comfortably at home. We choose the best products and recommend quality care in a home environment. These products also include products from the Japanese brand Sangi, one of the global innovators in dental care,” says MUDr. Valéria Michnová from the ArtDentistic dental clinic, which offers Sangi products for sale directly at the clinic.
When quality and experience come together
The history of the Sangi brand is especially fascinating. It goes back as far as 70 years, when NASA was dealing with the problem of how to replace the necessary minerals that are lost from astronauts’ teeth during space missions in a zero-gravity environment. Sangi from NASA obtained a patent for the technology, and thanks to it, as early as 1980, a hydroxyapatite-based remineralizing toothpaste was created—where tooth enamel is its own form of calcium and phosphorus (hydroxyapatite is an inorganic mineral, the most significant component of hard tissues of human bones and teeth). High-quality enamel care without fluorides meant a breakthrough in dental care as it had been done so far. After several years of testing and research, the medical hydroxyapatite developed by the Sangi company was approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health as an effective means for preventing dental caries. Sangi manufactures toothpastes of the Apagard, Apadent, and Apapro care lines.
It also takes care of sensitive teeth
Tooth sensitivity begins when the inner part of the tooth, called dentin, becomes exposed. Dentin is located under the enamel and gums. Thousands of microscopic tubules run through the dentin toward the center of the tooth. As soon as dentin is exposed, external stimuli (for example, cold drinks or, on the contrary, heat) can stimulate the nerves inside the tooth, which results in the characteristic short, sharp pain caused by increased tooth sensitivity (dentin hypersensitivity). Only a dentist can confirm whether you suffer from dentin hypersensitivity. Hydroxyapatite contained in Sangi pastes forms a protective layer on the enamel, which significantly reduces tooth sensitivity. It also prevents mineral thinning of the enamel and increases its translucency, so after using it, teeth naturally become whiter and shinier. Apagard and Apadent toothpastes also contain zero or at least a minimal amount of abrasive ingredients. They therefore protect against dental caries, sensitivity, and abrasion. With this range, Sangi is among professional dental cosmetics. To date, more than 130 million tubes of toothpaste of several types have been sold according to each customer’s individual needs.
