Bakterien machen lange Zähne

Parodontitis: Bakterien machen lange Zähne

Erwachsene verlieren inzwischen mehr Zähne auf Grund von Zahnbettentzündungen (Parodontitis) als durch Karies. Wie bei der Zahnfäule, sind auch für die Parodontitis Bakterien verantwortlich. Sie können jedoch erst dann ihr zerstörerisches Werk verrichten, wenn weitere Faktoren hinzukommen, die das Gleichgewicht im Mund stören.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Lange Z�hne machen/mit langen Z�hnen essen" hei�t lt. Duden, dass es einem nicht schmeckt.

their eyes will be popping out, they want to have the cars and go on the holidays, they are a wee bit envious, but I've never heard the expression before, but can surmise what is meant

Thank you all for kind help! If it is nothing particularly idiomatic, what does " lange Z�hne " in the following context mean? :-) Thank you in advance!

Ich m�chte einmal einen gelben Ferrari", erz�hlt ein Bub im Zahnl�ckenalter und grinst. An diesem Wochenende werden allerdings nicht nur junge Autoliebhaber, sondern auch Reiselustige lange Z�hne bekommen. Von 12. bis 15.

Bacteria make long teeth

literal translation as the German is nothing particularly idiomatic. It simply means that - due to bacteria - the gums recede making teeth look longer (and finally they will fall out)
