Today, the Dental Department of Xi'an Third Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Northwest University, will tell you how to protect teeth of different ages.
0～6 months
Whether there are tooth or not, maintaining oral hygiene is something that should be done from the beginning of the birth of the baby. For babies without teeth, mothers should use clean gauze or dip them in water with cotton balls to wipe the baby's oral mucous membrane.
6 months to 3 years old
When about 5 to 8 months, the baby will grow the first deciduous teeth in his life. In the next two years, the baby will gradually grow all deciduous teeth, a total of 20. However, almost no children can rely entirely on themselves to complete a standard effective brushing, and at this time they need help from parents.
3～6 years old
children gradually grow up, gradually begin to escape from their parents' help, and start brushing their teeth by themselves. At the same time, parents should assist in checking whether they are clean.
6 After the age of age and adults
In fact, children after the age of 6 can already brush their teeth independently and effectively like adults. Now it is generally recommended to use " Papillary Brushing Method " to brush your teeth.
Pasteur brushing method can effectively clean teeth and gingival sulcus and prevent plaque accumulation, so it is recommended that adults also use this method. Papt tooth brushing mainly cleans the position between the teeth and gums, removes the dental membrane, prevents the formation of calculus , and effectively prevents and treats periodontal disease .
Now let’s learn the most correct brushing method for in just a few minutes!
1. Hold the brush handle, place the brush head on the neck of the tooth, the bristles are at a 45° angle to the long axis of the tooth, and the bristles point to the root of the tooth (the maxillary teeth are upward and the mandibular teeth are downward), and apply slight pressure to allow the bristles to enter the gingival sulcus and part to the gingival edge.
2. Use 2~3 teeth as a group, and tremble the toothbrush horizontally at a short distance (about 2mm).
3. Then turn the toothbrush in the direction of crown and brush the lips, tongue (palate) surface. Pay attention to the movements being gentle.
4. Brush the occlusion surface and hold the brush handle, point the bristles to the occlusion surface, use a little force to brush back and forth, brush two or two, be careful to brush the upper, lower, left and right sections.
5. There is a slight difference between brushing the front and back teeth. Whether it is the buccal or lingual side, you should pay attention to brushing the teeth in the upper and lower directions, and brushing the upper and lower jaws must be consistent.
6. Finally, remember to brush the tongue coating on the tongue with a toothbrush, and the entire Papist tooth brushing method will be finished.
It is recommended to use a toothbrush with slim bristles , which is conducive to cleaning teeth and can reduce the damage to the gums due to inadequate force. The toothbrush head is suitable for the size of it. For adults, the brush head is about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide is enough. Change the toothbrush every 3-6 months to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria on the toothbrush.
