After the pandemic period, there has been a significant focus on well-being and mental health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the concept of mental health encompasses physical, social well-being, and the entire environment in which an individual is inserted.
According to dentist Marlei Bonella, a Specialist in Periodontology, Master in Implantology, and Clinical Director of IOS – Instituto Odontológico, the population has been paying more attention to their health, well-being, and self-esteem, and one of the hallmarks for everyone is a beautiful smile.
More and more patients are seeking us out thinking about their oral health and aesthetics, also mindful of their professional images. "Small interventions can make a huge difference in facial expression, among them laser teeth whitening," explains the dentist.
Among the options, Marlei explains that there are whitening treatments done with whitening gel and laser in the office, and in just two sessions the result is achieved. It is a safe technique with durability.
In addition to whitening, other procedures that result in improved health and aesthetics include the placement of veneers or contact lenses on teeth, gum plastic surgery, correction of diastemas, and invisible orthodontic treatments.
The dentist reminds us that taking care of oral health is essential for the health of the entire body. "Health starts in the mouth; untreated gum inflammation and cavities can lead to more serious problems," such as diabetes and heart disease, emphasizes Marlei.
