Brush your teeth directly with tooth powder, apricot-forest-set-east-constant-tooth-Xuan-Fang. Before brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, dip your toothbrush in water and spin it dry.

Once in the morning and evening, it can clear away heat and toxic materials, relieve swelling and pain, strengthen teeth and protect gums, and strengthen kidney and teeth.
The best prevention is exercise.
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease, and its etiology is traditionally divided into local factors and systemic factors. Among the local factors, dental plaque bacteria and their products are the most important cause of periodontal disease and an indispensable trigger for periodontal disease. Mainly due to poor oral hygiene, the role of microorganisms and the stimulation of dental calculus, especially subgingival dental calculus. Systemic factors are related to nutritional metabolism disorder, endocrine disorder and autonomic nervous dysfunction. In addition, the stimulation of trauma and bad prosthesis. It is also one of the reasons.
Cold, hot, sour and sweet all hurt, and periodontitis brings pain to many people. In fact, periodontitis also has physical therapy, and most people will have an effect as long as they keep practicing for a long time.
Dr. Yi from the Institute of Sports Medicine of the State Sports General Administration said that with the increase of age, people's gums are shrinking day by day, which leads to loose teeth, enlarged gaps and residues, which are easy to breed bacteria. With the increase of biological and chemical stimulation in the oral cavity, it will cause periodontal pain and even infection and suppuration, and it will further loosen the teeth. Tooth defect affects food chewing, which increases the gastrointestinal burden for middle-aged and elderly people with gastrointestinal dysfunction.
Physical therapy of periodontitis is suitable for people without suppurative oral inflammation. Patients should engage in physical exercise for a long time and exercise their teeth intentionally. The purpose of physical exercise is to promote the blood circulation of periodontal tissue, improve the nutrition of periodontal tissue, delay and prevent gingival atrophy, and preserve the function of teeth as much as possible.
Specific methods of physical rehabilitation are:
Bite or hit the upper and lower teeth for dozens of times continuously;
2. Massage your gums on your cheeks and lips with two palms until you have a local fever. The above exercises are carried out three times a day for 5 ~ 10 minutes each time. Be careful not to exert too much force during exercise, especially for people with dental caries and obvious tooth looseness. Pay attention to steady exertion during exercise.
