Many people have experienced such a scene, eating halfway through the meal, suddenly a tooth root pain, a shredded beef into the teeth. Continue to eat it, each chew is very painful, pull it out by hand, when a table of people and feel indecent, find a place where no one with a toothpick to pull it out, mouth tired of opening or there is so little, hand dragging, brush teeth are not working, stuffed teeth, is a painful thing ah! People who have had tooth congestion know how painful Doctors say that if you start to have tooth congestion, it basically means that there is already a problem with the teeth. Don’t think that blocked teeth is not a disease, a normal good teeth will not move to retain food, often blocked teeth may have dental caries, or periodontal disease, or teeth wear too much, or the treatment of teeth is not thorough enough – cavity is not filled, the shape of the restoration is not good, etc.. The roots of our teeth are held in place by the alveolar bone, which is surrounded by a layer of gums, and they keep the teeth close together one by one. However, if you do not pay attention to oral hygiene, the toxins produced by food residues will slowly stimulate the gums to become inflamed, and frequent inflammation of the gums will stimulate the alveolar bone, the inflamed alveolar bone slowly resorbs and becomes lower and lower, and the gums wrapped around it slowly shrink, so that the exposed tooth roots will become more and more, and the power to fix it becomes less and less, and the teeth will slowly loosen. Perhaps this subtle loosening you usually do not even notice, but once you have to eat those tough and difficult to bite food, the trouble comes. When you bite into a tough piece of beef playfully grinding, with the force is usually several times, in the upper and lower teeth desperately to force together, the loose teeth are pushed open a crack, the meat shreds to take advantage of a squeeze, in that settled, you can not pick a hundred. So if you don’t want to eat stuffed teeth, the first thing you have to do is to prevent periodontal disease, brush your teeth carefully every day and scaling once a year is essential, to know that once the gums recede can not grow back. If once you have a blocked tooth, please do not use a toothpick to pick, otherwise it will only aggravate the gum damage, it is best to use dental floss. If you look in the mirror and study your teeth, you will find that the upper and lower bite surface is not flat, there are grooves and slopes and quite ups and downs, which makes our teeth sharper, and food is broken when you bite. At the same time, they have another purpose – the food drainage channel, is to let the food bitten along the “groove” out, do not remain in the teeth near. But the sharp teeth can not resist the grinding over time, the grooves on the surface of the teeth will always be slowly smoothed out, especially for children who grind their teeth at night and the elderly. The biting surface of the teeth becomes flatter and flatter, the teeth become less sharp, and it takes more effort to cut off food. There is a lot more pushing between the upper and lower teeth, and even if your teeth are not loose, a gap is pushed out and food gets shoved in. On the other hand, when the grooves become flat, the food drainage channel is gone, and the chewed stuff is not easily discharged near the gap, so when you bite hard, you press the food into the gap. So, in order to be able to eat with your own teeth when you are old, we usually have to save some, don’t always eat those hard to bite things, less wear and tear to protect the tooth surface, less force can also protect the teeth from loosening.
