Problems with the oral cavity not only affect appetite, but also make people overly stressed and even affect their whole body health. The large differences in China’s natural environment and eating habits have led to a significant increase in the prevalence of oral diseases in some areas. Now, let’s summarize and see what problems people are most likely to have for their teeth. Problem 1: Bleeding gums If you find that the toothpaste bubbles are a little red when you brush your teeth, this is bleeding gums. Gum bleeding is something that doesn’t happen all the time. Healthy gums are pink, fit very closely to the teeth, and are moisturized by saliva with a shine. Some people have dark red gum edges that bleed at the slightest touch. Tip: Bleeding gums while brushing are in most cases related to gingivitis (“bleeding gums, not vitamin deficiency”). At this time, it is more important not to brush the bleeding area, but to brush gently and carefully to remove the plaque that causes inflammation there and relieve gingivitis in order to reduce bleeding. Problem 2: Tooth decay Tooth decay, we call it tooth decay. Among all oral problems of Chinese people, tooth decay is the big one. The cause of tooth decay can be more than eating sugar, but also involves bacteria, time, and own factors. For details, please see: “The criminal’s name is Tang, sweet to sorrow”. If someone insists on stubbornly thinking that we have 28-32 teeth, how to decay a few more teeth, then we have to warn you, don’t forget that toothache is not fatal, and once the decay is deep into the pulp, it will be troublesome to treat. Tip: The more sugar you eat, the more likely you are to get tooth decay, but the more often you eat sugar, the more likely you are to get tooth decay. Therefore, if you like to eat sugar, you can eat more at a time, but it is better to eat only once in a day. Acid will corrode the enamel on the surface of teeth, so it is better to use a straw when drinking carbonated drinks and juices to reduce the direct contact between the acidic liquid and teeth. After eating acidic food, many people will rinse their mouth or brush their teeth, please remember, rinse your mouth with water for 30 minutes before brushing your teeth, or else just after the acid corrosion, and then encounter the toothbrush “baptism”, the poor teeth will be added to the frost. Problem three: bad breath Another major Chinese oral problems is periodontal disease. Periodontal disease involves a large range, we can see the gums and other soft tissues, invisible alveolar bone, dental bone and other deep tissue, all belong to the “periodontal”, and here the gum bleeding, bad breath, calculus are the performance of periodontal disease. Tip: Some people with bad breath do not feel their own problems, Professor Gong Yi here to provide a self-test method: bad breath mainly from the front 2/3 of the tongue, we can use the tongue to lick the back of the hand, dry, close the mouth and smell it, the odor is good to know. Problem 4: tooth sensitivity Many people have experienced tooth sensitivity, that is, when the teeth are exposed to hot, cold, sour or sweet or bite hard objects, there will be a sudden soreness. One of the main reasons for tooth sensitivity is tooth decay; incorrect brushing method, for example, vigorously “thwarting” teeth horizontally, resulting in tooth enamel defects on the surface of teeth, exposing dentin, will also lead to tooth sensitivity; even if there is no damage, just normal eating, over the years may also wear teeth, so that teeth become sensitive and fragile. Tip: Apply freshly brewed tea to sensitive teeth to relieve the sensitivity of dentin. For mild tooth sensitivity, desensitizing toothpaste is effective; if the condition is serious, you need to ask your dentist to help you on some desensitizing medication. Problem 5: Calculus Bleeding gums are related to plaque, and calculus is also related to plaque. Plaque is a bacterial complex on the teeth. If not removed in time, food debris and soft tartar are deposited on it, which slowly calcifies and becomes calculus. And calculus is a very important stimulus for periodontal disease, and its long-term presence can aggravate periodontal disease. Tip: To deal with plaque, first learn to brush your teeth properly. Brush your teeth at least 2 times a day in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after brushing, just use 1-2 mouthfuls of water, but rinse for 10 seconds each time, so that the active ingredients of toothpaste can be preserved in your mouth to protect your teeth for a longer time. However, if calculus has formed, brushing will not work, you have to ask your dentist to help you clean your teeth. Problem 6: Tooth coloring Although the color of the teeth is not the only measure of dental health, we always do not want their teeth too yellow, or even black, if the teeth are not white enough, what to do? Tip: If your teeth are only mildly yellow, you can use the bleaching method. It is a chemical method that oxidizes the pigment in the dentin. If you have severe tooth discoloration such as tetracycline, you will have to have porcelain teeth.
