Oral Health in Germany

The importance of oral health in Germay comparing to the UK and Ireland


A healthy mouth is more than just a beautiful smile. A beautiful smile can change your focus. The quality of life can be strongly affected by poor oral health. In many cases, the condition of the mouth reflects the condition of a person’s general health. Recent studies in Germany indicate a relationship between periodontal (gum) disease and heart disease, stroke and pre-term low-birth-weight babies. Because more than 90 percent of all systemic diseases have oral manifestations, your German dentist may be the first health care provider to recognise a health problem.  ( Root Canal Treatment in Germany )

As dental treatment in the UK, especally London are very expensive, more and more dental tourists are using Ryan Air and other airlines for dental treatments in Germany. Very offen, thsi patients save up to  60%  and more with a simple price comparison.  Implants are available in Germany from 1.500 GBP . This price include implant surgery on the highes medical level, the complete dentistry ( bite registration, impression, try-in ) and all lab works including a metal free Zirconium crown.

According several reports on oral health, a large percentage of the populations in Germany, The UK and London suffers from a reduced quality of life due to oral and facial pain. This pain is largely caused by infected gums and can lead to tooth loosening and eventual loss. Around 80% percent of people older than 30 years are affected by some type of periodontal disease or gingivitis ( infected gums ).

Other reports are now indicating that mouth infections can affect major organs. One example is bacterial endocarditis, a condition in which the lining of the heart and heart valves become infected by bacteries. Chronicle infected gum also can contribute to oral cancer, a cancer which we see unfortunately more often.

In addition, poor oral health affects the digestion, which begins with in the mouth. These problems can lead to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, intestinal failure and other problems. The symptoms from other diseases are often reflected in mouth tissues; in fact many diseases can be diagnosed in their early stages through an oral examination. These diseases may manifest symptoms such as swollen gums, mouth ulcers, dry mouth and excessive gum problems. Some of these diseases are for example : diabetes, leukaemia, cancer, heart disease and kidney disease. People visiting  their dentist on a regular basis (every six months) have a much greater chance of these diseases being identified in their earliest stages. It also is important to provide your dentist with a complete medical/dental history and relate any recent problems, even if they seem unrelated to your mouth.
