In terms of oral hygiene, people began to pay attention to oral problems only after economic development met the problem of food and clothing. As early as the Song Dynasty, China had the habit of gargling and brushing teeth, but in some rural areas, especially the older generation, brushing teeth was not popular. However, if the oral cavity is not properly cleaned, bacteria will breed, which will lead to tooth and periodontal diseases. But careful observation will reveal that brushing teeth can't completely solve the tooth problem. Some children can brush their teeth when they are very young, but dental caries still occur.
Because of diet, we eat too much acidic food. Now we eat mostly acidic foods, such as chicken, duck, fish, flour and rice and carbonated drinks. The vegetables and beans that children don't like are alkaline substances. In the past, people just wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing, mostly vegetables and coarse grains. flour and rice ate less fish and had little contact with carbonated drinks. However, modern people don't eat much vegetables, mostly from flour and rice, especially some children don't like boiled water, but drink drinks. The intake of acidic substances is very harmful to periodontal tissue, which is the main reason for modern people's bad teeth.
In addition, if you eat flour and rice, the food will become soft due to too much food processing, and the back of the mouth will have no chance to exercise, so wisdom teeth will have nowhere to grow, and they can only squeeze other teeth, causing a series of oral problems such as pain and suppuration.
