How to care for teeth
Choose toothbrush and toothpaste
Too hard or too soft a toothbrush is harmful to our teeth. Because a toothbrush that is too hard will harm the surface of our teeth.
It's too soft to brush clean. So you can choose toothbrushes with different hardness, and try the one you feel most comfortable with when brushing your teeth. It can clean your teeth without making your gums uncomfortable, which suits you.
After you find your favorite toothbrush, change it every three months, because a toothbrush that has been used for a long time will contain a lot of bacteria, which will affect people's health. Don't deposit this money.
There are three kinds of toothpaste on the market: ordinary toothpaste, fluoride toothpaste and medicinal toothpaste. Ordinary people generally choose fluoride toothpaste. When there are other diseases in the mouth, you can choose medicinal toothpaste, but it is best to consult a dentist before using medicinal toothpaste. Don't outsmart yourself.
Brush your teeth regularly.
If you want to keep your teeth healthy, you should brush your teeth at breakfast or at night every day. If you brush your teeth, you'd better stop eating!
If possible, brush your teeth after lunch. To prevent food residue from staying between your teeth, your breath is fresh and you will naturally feel refreshed. If you have removable dentures, you'd better take them out and clean them at the same time.
The method of brushing your teeth should also be correct, not less than 3 minutes at a time, both inside and outside your teeth. Apply a little force along the direction of the teeth, with the upper teeth brushing down and the lower teeth brushing up. Repeat the same position several times, so that the sticky food residue on the teeth can be brushed clean. Reduce the formation of dental calculus. Neither will Li Laobo. You saw the vegetable leaves I ate last time. When eating out. Rinse your mouth without brushing your teeth.
Go to the hospital regularly to check your teeth and clean them.
Don't be afraid to go to the dentist. It is much easier to have a regular checkup than to fill a tooth after a decayed tooth.
Zhang Laobo goes to stomatology every six months to see if there are any rotten teeth. If there are some slight dental caries, it should be repaired as soon as possible. Filling teeth at this time is painless and time-saving. The second is to see if there is any problem with the gums. If there is slight calculus, wash it by the way, so that the gums of the elderly are still healthy pink.
Eat more vegetables and foods with high calcium content.
Vegetables generally contain more fiber, so it needs to be chewed many times when eating vegetables, which has a certain cleaning effect on teeth and gums. It can prevent gingivitis, and rich vitamin C is also good for teeth.
Teeth are the hardest tissue in the body, but with the increase of age, the elderly will also be short of calcium. Teeth will exchange calcium ions with saliva all their lives. If the body is short of calcium, the calcium in saliva will also decrease. Teeth also lack calcium. "Soften" teeth are hard to resist bacteria in the mouth. So drink more milk and get more sunshine. Drink more bone soup.
10 tooth secret
1, don't think that high cholesterol will only make you fat. In fact, excessive intake of cholesterol can lead to periodontal disease.
2. If you suddenly bleed when washing your hands, you usually dress yourself or go to see a doctor. But when I brushed my teeth, I drew blood, but everyone turned a blind eye. And bleeding gums may indicate that you have periodontal disease.
Even if you have healthy gums, you should see the dentist twice a year, but most people can't.
4. A strange phenomenon can be found in many patients: periodontal disease often has a serious impact on the big teeth behind the mouth, but the teeth in front of the patients are very healthy. The reason is that people only brush their teeth carefully when others can see them.
Dentists always tell patients with severe gum disease to pick their teeth, but it is not only this time that they need to pick their teeth. Just like you often need to clean the bottom of your shirt pocket, so as not to accumulate sundries.
When people meet for the first time, they first pay attention to their eyes, then their teeth, and the third is their hair. However, people spend much more money on hair than on teeth.
7. To maintain oral hygiene, you need to brush your teeth every day 10 minutes. The average time for adults to brush their teeth is only 2 or 3 minutes, and the average time for children to brush their teeth is even shorter.
8. Smokers often use mints or mouthwash to cover up the smell of cigarettes. However, the unpleasant smell from tobacco has invaded the gingival tissue, which is distributed in the mouth. Therefore, you can't protect your teeth with mints or mouthwash.
9. When people brush their teeth, they often only brush the surface, and it is difficult to brush to the swallowing area deeper in the mouth, but it is this place that emits an unpleasant smell. Therefore, you must floss every day and clean your mouth every few months. If all this is done, but the mouth still smells bad, then we should start with diet or check whether there are other health problems.
10, alcoholic mouthwash will make your mouth dry, so your breath may be fresh within half an hour, but it will smell worse afterwards, even worse than before.
