Five common sense for caring for dental health

In foreign countries, people are prone to dental problems because of their frequent consumption of sweets. All foreign people pay more attention to dental health issues and have regular dental checkups. In China, people pay attention to the health of the internal organs, the five senses and limbs, the skin and face, but only neglected the health of the teeth, only when the teeth are sick to know to go to the doctor, often people suffer, wallet pain. I call on everyone to give more care to the teeth on a regular basis, remember the following 5 small common sense, will bring health to your teeth. 1, floss every day Flossing not only eliminates food particles between the teeth, but also prevents a variety of gum diseases and inhibits bacteria that induce chronic infections and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and lung disease. Recent studies show that a three-pronged approach of brushing, flossing and mouthwash can reduce plaque by 50%. 2, white fillings may not be good White synthetic fillings have to be replaced every 10 years, while amalgam fillings can be used 20% more often. Although some dentists question the safety of the latter, but experiments have proven that the amount of mercury released is less, not enough to damage intelligence, memory, coordination or kidney function, and does not increase the risk of dementia, multiple sclerosis. 3, tooth bleaching is very safe Dental bleaching agent is the main component of the urea peroxide, in the mouth will be broken down into hydrogen peroxide. This substance will only temporarily increase tooth sensitivity and will not increase the risk of oral cancer. However, this method should not be used excessively to avoid damaging the enamel and causing tooth decay. 4.Brush your tongue to improve bad breath Bad breath means that bacteria are breaking down food residues and releasing sulfides and so on. Cleaning the tongue not only removes the “film” formed by food particles, but also reduces the microorganisms that create bad breath. A study by New York University found that cleaning the tongue twice a day for 2 weeks reduced bad breath by 53%. 5, regularly do periodontal SPA or dental cleaning American experts recommend that the protection of oral health should do 1-2 oral cleaning (periodontal SPA and dental cleaning) every year, through the periodontal SPA and dental cleaning can effectively remove calculus to prevent the occurrence of periodontal disease, it is proved that there is a regular dental hospital to do periodontal SPA and dental cleaning people not only oral odor-free, dental life will be longer. Therefore, do not save so little money to make the teeth shorter life, doubly plagued by oral diseases. 6, regularly do dental x-ray American Dental Association recommends that if there is no tooth decay, commonly flossed, should be two or three years to do a dental x-ray; if there is oral disease, it should be done every 6-18 months. Children and adolescents should have a shorter examination cycle.
