Your most entertaining stay at the dentist
Can you imagine watching your favourite film, series, music video or documentary while you are undergoing dental treatment? Well, in our centre it is possible, thanks to the latest generation glasses. These glasses reproduce in 3D and our patients love them, especially the little ones in the house. The anxiety and stress that a high percentage of people suffer when going to the dentist causes many of them to delay this moment as much as possible, with the consequent damage to their oral health. Nerves during the visit can affect the procedure, especially in children. Therefore, at Rbg Clinic we are committed to technological advances that make our patients' stay easier and if we also make it fun, then even better. For many of our patients, this device has become a good ally to combat the noise of dental appliances.
"My child grinds his teeth at night." What can I do?

Bruxism is one of the most common diseases of the 21st century and is caused by clenching or sliding teeth together, causing wear and sometimes even fractures of the teeth unconsciously. One of the main causes of bruxism is stress. In children, it is not considered a pathology, because it usually disappears when they reach adolescence. This habit is a way of stimulating teeth and promoting bone and muscle formation in the face, and usually decreases when the permanent teeth erupt. Bruxism can be solved with a night guard. Parents often say that "my child grinds his teeth while sleeping"
What kind of diet should our children follow to avoid cavities?

What type of diet should children follow to avoid tooth decay? To do this, it is very important to know the foods our children consume. We must know the type of carbohydrates our children consume in their diet (food and drinks), their consistency and the frequency of intake; because the frequent consumption of sugar intervenes in the development of tooth decay, by keeping the pH low, the levels of cariogenic bacteria increase and all this, accompanied by poor oral hygiene, leads to the appearance of caries lesions. Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots and celery. Also cheese, milk, natural yogurt: calcium, phosphates, vitamin D in cheese and other dairy products are important minerals for the health of your teeth. Keep in mind that less cariogenic foods contain unrefined carbohydrates, without added sugar. Their higher fiber content can help remove plaque, but they still have the potential to cause cavities without a good oral care routine.

When should we take our children to the dentist for the first time?
At what age should we take children to the dentist? This is one of the most frequently asked questions that our professionals encounter on a daily basis. At Rbg Clinic we like to work on prevention to ensure oral health from an early age. For this reason, Dr. San Martín advises us to take children to the dentist when they are babies, since, even if they do not have teeth, it is important to know that there may be other pathologies associated with the oral cavity, and to detect them early. The most common problems that child patients present are lesions caused by caries and malocclusion, a poor alignment of the teeth, which can lead to more serious pathologies if not treated in time.
