How to maintain oral health?
Tooth tapping method: first concentrate quietly, close your mouth slightly, and then tap your upper and lower teeth dozens of times. All teeth should touch each other, not too hard, to prevent biting the tongue. Frequent knocking at the door can strengthen the firmness of teeth, make teeth not easy to loose and fall off, strengthen chewing power and promote digestive function.
Drum gargle method: grind your teeth, feel something in your mouth, and do actions with your cheeks and tongue dozens of times. When you rinse your mouth, there will be more saliva in your mouth. When the saliva is full, you swallow a few more slowly. There may not be much body fluid at first, but it will naturally increase after a long time. Drum washing is mainly to make the mouth produce more body fluids, which can help digest and clean the mouth, exercise the surrounding muscles and make the cheeks full.
Tongue transport method: rotate the tongue in the mouth, outside the teeth, left and right, up and down, etc. When it is added, roll and clean the remaining bite or bites. Tongue transport is effective in preventing and treating oral mucosal diseases and tongue atrophy in the elderly, increasing saliva secretion, moistening gastrointestinal tract, helping spleen and stomach function, and preventing bitter taste and halitosis.
The methods of oral health care include gingival scaling: one is to brush your teeth, and the bristles are pressed on the gums, which will temporarily ischemia. When the bristles are relaxed, the local blood vessels dilate and congestion, which is repeated several times to improve blood circulation and enhance resistance. The other is to use the index finger as the gum. After gargling, put the clean right index finger on the gingival mucosa, rub it up and down along the gingival level from the root to the crown, back and forth, and then up and down the inner and outer gums, for about a few minutes. Through the gums, increase the blood circulation of gingival tissue. It is helpful to tissue metabolism, improve the resistance of periodontal tissue to external injury and reduce the occurrence of periodontal disease.
In view of the uneven hot and cold food in summer, experts believe that eating more high-fiber foods, such as vegetables, coarse grains and fruits, is very beneficial to protecting teeth, as well as meat, eggs and milk with high calcium content, which is also beneficial to protecting teeth. For teenagers and children, parents should be careful not to eat sorbet, ice cream, ice powder and so on. After they eat overheated food, eat it immediately, so as not to cause strong uneven heat and cold on their teeth. Give young children celery, cabbage, spinach, leeks, etc. Summer not only helps to protect their teeth, but also effectively promotes the development of their mandibles and the neatness of their teeth.
The temperature is high in summer, and some people don't pay attention to oral hygiene after eating spicy food, which easily leads to a large number of dental plaque on the tooth surface, which will become dental calculus over time. If there are dental plaque and calculus on the tooth surface, it may cause a series of diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis if it is not eliminated in time. After dental plaque and calculus appear, you should go to a regular hospital to clean your mouth in time, which is what people call "tooth washing". This method is very important for protecting oral hygiene and preventing periodontal disease.

By brushing teeth, proper * * * * is given to teeth and periodontal tissues, which can promote the blood circulation of gingival tissues, increase the excitement of metabolism of teeth and periodontal tissues, enhance the keratinization degree of epithelial cells, and improve the disease resistance of gingival surface tissues.
2. Method of brushing teeth; Horizontal tremor method; B rotating brushing method c physiological brushing method
3. the number of times to brush your teeth; We advocate brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and gargling after meals. It is better to brush your teeth twice a day, that is, brush your teeth before going to bed in the morning and at night for at least 3 minutes each time.

You can gargle after meals, usually with water, but people with teeth problems can choose to gargle with salt water, but the salinity should not be too high.
Second, knocking teeth, washing drums and cleaning teeth are beneficial to oral health care.
Tapping teeth is a health-keeping exercise in traditional Chinese medicine and an effective measure for dental health care. Tapping teeth can enhance the qi and blood activities of tooth supporting tissues, promote health, secrete saliva and clean tooth surfaces. Drum washing is also a traditional oral health care method of traditional Chinese medicine, which can clean the tooth surface and oral mucosa and enhance the resistance of teeth and mouth. Gum can promote the blood circulation of periodontal tissues, enhance the metabolism of tooth supporting tissues, and correspondingly enhance the disease resistance of teeth and gums.
Correct bad oral habits and prevent oral diseases.
For example, bad habits such as grinding teeth at night, clenching teeth, biting hard objects, biting nails, biting lips and letting fingers go will increase the burden on periodontal tissues, cause gingival recession, and thus cause or aggravate periodontal disease. The habit of unilateral chewing, when unilateral chewing, due to the incomplete occlusion of non-chewing teeth, leads to periodontal diseases, and a large amount of plaque and tartar accumulate on the surface of teeth, which makes gums inflamed and causes periodontal diseases. There are also bad brushing habits, such as too hard toothbrush bristles, inverted bristles, too thick toothpaste particles, and incorrect brushing methods, which may cause tooth defects or gum recession. Finally, mouth breathing, most patients with this habit have gingival hypertrophy and gingivitis of the upper teeth.
Fourth, eat more coarse grains or fibrous foods and properly control sugar foods.
Eating more coarse grains can increase the self-cleaning and * * * function, give full play to the physiological * * * function formed by chewing exercise, enhance the resistance of teeth and periodontal tissue, and promote the normal development of jaws. Reasonable nutrition is very important for ensuring oral health and preventing oral diseases. Especially for pregnant and lactating women and developing children, we should pay more attention to the richness and diversity of nutrition. But the more nutrition, the better. Insufficient or excessive nutrients will have adverse consequences for health. If sugar is a kind of nutrition, it is necessary to eat it properly, but not in excess. It should not be eaten before meals or before going to bed. Eating sugar before meals affects appetite. Eating sugar before going to bed will create favorable conditions for bacteria to ferment and produce acid, invade teeth and induce dental caries. Because of sticky or delicate carbohydrates, such as cakes, biscuits, sweets and so on. , easy to stay and adhere to the tooth surface, easy to ferment, conducive to dental caries. Therefore, proper control of sugary foods is also one of the effective defensive measures.
5. Regular oral health examination.
Oral diseases are mostly chronic diseases, and the early symptoms are not obvious, which is easy to be ignored.
Therefore, regular oral health examination, early detection and early treatment are of great significance in preventive medicine. Adults are examined once a year, and children and pregnant women are examined once every six months. Preventive pit and fissure sealing and caries prevention drugs can be applied to children's molars in mixed dentition.
To sum up, we should do a good job in oral health care from childhood and now. Let yourself have a healthy body.
Eating hot and cold things in summer can cause serious damage to teeth. Choosing a toothbrush and toothpaste that meets your own oral hygiene requirements can protect your teeth. Generally speaking, it is a good choice to choose a toothbrush with reasonable arrangement of bristles, convenient cleaning of teeth and flexible rotation in the mouth. Electric toothbrush is also a good choice. The slight vibration when brushing teeth can not only promote blood circulation in the mouth, but also have a * * * effect on gingival tissue.
