Everyone knows about caries. Caries can cause pain - but it doesn't have to. Some people never have toothache!
You may be able to see plaque and gaps.
You may be able to feel loose teeth.

In fact, there is much more potential damage to the teeth, dentition and jaw joints than caries.
Such damage does not develop if you can go to the dentist regularly.
This type of damage, which progressively worsens, develops faster and faster in people who cannot go to the dentist because there is no dentist, or if someone is severely handicapped or because they are too ashamed and afraid to go to the dentist.
In addition to tartar, plaque and calculus, these patients develop additional and serious problems more and more quickly over the years:

• Dysgnathia

• Elongations

• Functional disorders

• Gum atrophy

• Jawbone atrophy

• Wedge defects

• Traumatic attritions

• Erosions

• Suppurations at the root tips

• Cysts in the jawbone

• Inflammation of the gums

• Inflammation of the periodontium

• Inflammation of the nerve and vascular system of the tooth and the entire oral area

• Headaches

• Pain in the jaw joints

• Shoulder-neck syndrome

• Molecules that can overwhelm the immune system

• Reduced general condition

• Development of particularly insidious silent inflammations

• Development of molecules such as RANTES/CCL5

• and much more.

The RANTES molecule is particularly dangerous!
If RANTES reaches a treatable breast cancer node via the bloodstream, RANTES triggers metastasis, which is no longer treatable.
Adults with dental anxiety at least go to the dentist reasonably regularly.
People with dental anxiety + destroyed teeth + shame no longer dare to go to the dentist.

Shame is increasingly becoming the defining characteristic of a person's entire life.
Most people begin to withdraw from social life for years at a time.
Human catastrophes are on the horizon.

The OHIP test can be used to partially verify the actual loss of quality of life. Unfortunately, this test does not cover aesthetic problems. Aesthetic problems in dentistry are the main cause for our patients.

Dental anxiety in adults is harmless in comparison to the rarely occurring extreme dental anxiety + destroyed teeth + extremely stressful shame.

The degree of dental anxiety can be assessed using the HAF test.

• The average dental anxiety patient scores a maximum of 38 points. They are then considered ‘moderately anxious’

• Our patients very often achieve the maximum score of 56 and are then considered ‘highly anxious’

Oral health-related quality of life can be assessed using the OHIP-G14 test.

• The average patient achieves 1-4 OHIP points.

• Our patients very often achieve the maximum score of 56 OHIP points

Our experience with many of our patients is that human catastrophes are predictable with a score of more than 15 points on the OHIP-G14 points test/ IDZ-2005 questionnaire.

There is still a significant difference between people with the frequently occurring dental anxiety in adults and people with the rarely occurring

extreme dental anxiety combined with destroyed teeth and extreme shame:

The feeling of absolute helplessness with the condition of their teeth!

People with extreme dental anxiety combined with destroyed teeth and extreme shame always feel helpless with the condition of their teeth.
