1. Regular check-up (regular tooth cleaning twice a year). Regular dental examination can find tooth cavities early and fill them in time.
2. Dental diseases must go to the hospital for dental treatment in time. Simply taking medicine can't solve the problem of dental diseases, so local treatment is needed. Don't scrape the tartar and tartar in your mouth with your own knife to avoid injury.
3. The missing teeth should be filled with new teeth in time. If the teeth are missing for a long time, the teeth before and after the gap will shift to the gap, which will lengthen the jaw teeth, cause food impaction, and lead to the disuse of one tooth.
4. Remove food fillings from the teeth in time. Rinse your mouth immediately after eating. Use dental floss correctly and don't use toothpicks (especially coarse toothpicks).
5. Brush your teeth with warm water every day to avoid overstimulating your teeth.
6. Brush your teeth three times a day (before breakfast in the morning, within three minutes after lunch and before going to bed at night) for three minutes each time, and carefully brush three sides of your teeth. But if you eat acidic food, you should brush your teeth after 30 minutes or 60 minutes to avoid losing the enamel of your teeth.
7. Change a toothbrush for three months and brush your teeth with different toothpastes.
8. Do more dental exercise.
Knock your teeth (preferably after meals):
Knock on your teeth often. Since ancient times, people who are good at keeping in good health have emphasized that "teeth should be knocked often." Clear, diet is not advanced, teeth and gums are not filled. Tapping your teeth gently can promote smooth blood circulation and protect your teeth.
Mouth and lips slightly closed. Knock your teeth 50 times, knock your teeth 50 times, and knock your wrong teeth 50 times, once a day, morning and evening.
Sticking teeth for 5 minutes every day can promote blood circulation and tissue metabolism, exercise muscles and protect skin, promote saliva secretion and clean mouth, and achieve the purpose of strengthening teeth and exercising periodontal function.
Massage the gums:
After brushing your teeth, put your index finger on your gums and massage in a small circular motion in the same direction for several times (15 minutes). Rinse your mouth with warm water after massage.
If the teeth are slightly loose, you can massage your gums with your index finger for 10 minutes every morning. You can also roll the nucleus up and down in your mouth and massage your gums when talking about plums or apricots, which is of great benefit to preventing periodontitis and strengthening your teeth.
Chew:
Chewing foods with appropriate hardness, elasticity and high cellulose content, such as coarse grains, miscellaneous grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., can exercise the chewing ability of oral muscles and teeth, and make the tooth tissue tough and firm and not easy to loosen. Chewing food fully when eating can massage the gums, scrub the tooth surface and bounce up the periodontal ligament, which has the functions of accelerating blood circulation, improving local nutrition and promoting tooth health.
Stir the sea:
Licking gums with tongue can exercise periodontal tissue and massage gums. You can also wrap a piece of clean gauze with your index finger, and then reach into your mouth to massage your gums and clean your teeth.
9. Use teeth to prevent diseases.
Garlic can be washed and mashed, mixed with a little water and applied to the gums for 10 minute each time, or it can be replaced by fresh radish with spicy taste, which can not only sterilize but also promote gum regeneration.
10. Avoid eating too closely, eat less sweets, sour and colored things, and develop correct chewing habits. Developing good chewing habits and chewing slowly can not only promote the secretion of digestive juice, but also promote the health of circulation and periodontal tissue. Get rid of the bad habit of unilateral chewing. The correct chewing method is bilateral or alternate use.
1 1. Correct bad habits harmful to teeth. Some infants and young children have dislocated and deformed teeth due to their habits of sucking their thumbs, licking their teeth, grinding their teeth, breathing with their mouths open and biting their lips. Correcting bad habits is beneficial to dental care.
12. Give teeth adequate nutrition. The development of teeth is inseparable from various nutritious foods. Therefore, whether adults or children, the diet should be diversified, not partial eclipse.
13. Drink tea often.
Drinking water is the simplest but most important way to protect teeth. Drinking water in moderation can make our gums moist and stimulate saliva secretion.
Tea contains fluorine, which can prevent dental caries. Drinking tea water or gargling with tea can protect your teeth and clean your mouth. Drinking some water after a meal can take away the food residue in the residual mouth and prevent the bacteria that damage the teeth from getting nutrition.
14. Not smoking is good for protecting teeth. Smoking not only darkens teeth, but also damages alveolar bone. Some data show that the alveolar bone injury of smokers is more than that of non-smokers, and the injury develops rapidly and seriously.
15. Being happy is good for dental health. Mental stimulation such as nervousness, anxiety and fear can cause toothache, which is called psychogenic toothache in medicine.
16. Exercise regularly, such as jogging and walking. And regular physical labor to keep healthy can delay the atrophy of periodontal tissue, improve the resistance of teeth and make them strong.
17. Take certain drugs with caution. Tetracycline, gold toxin and other drugs will make teeth yellow or enamel hypoplasia, and dental caries will easily occur in the future. Therefore, pregnant women and lactating women and babies should not take these drugs in large quantities or for a long time.
18. Keep your teeth clean. The kidney dominates the bone and the tooth is the bone. With sufficient kidney essence, teeth will develop politically and grow firmly. Therefore, tonifying kidney and storing essence is also a means of self-care of teeth.
19. Prevention of trauma. Don't use your teeth to open hard objects such as bottle caps to prevent your teeth from being damaged.
20. If you have slight soreness, use fluoride toothpaste immediately. If the teeth are afraid of acid, softness and sweetness, use desensitizing toothpaste (such as Lengsuanling).
