The harm of sugar is known to everyone, especially its damage to teeth.
Nowadays, many people have rotten teeth at a young age, which is directly related to their eating habits.
Friends who insist on controlling sugar and carbohydrate have found that their teeth have become much healthier. Many friends at home and abroad have reported that they no longer have tooth decay problems, and even tartar is missing.
Today we will talk about how sugar causes tooth decay . What should we do? Why do you have tooth decay in
?
The mouth is also part of the digestive tract. Like other parts of the intestine, there is also a group of microbiomes in the mouth.
Oral cavity is the primary battlefield for good and bad bacteria. harmful bacteria hope to use sugar as a weapon to weaken the defense ability of good bacteria.
is generally in the oral cavity, and the harmful bacteria are mainly Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sorbet .
They are very love sugar , and when they digest sugar, they produce acid .
This acidic substance will cause protective enamel to demineralize , causing tooth decay or tooth decay .
Diet will affect the integrity of teeth in many ways, including the amount of saliva, pH, ingredients and plaque pH.
sugars and other fermentable carbohydrates After being hydrolyzed by salivary amylase , it provides the substrate for oral bacteria to reduce plaque and saliva pH. This process may be the beginning of tooth demineralization.
Of course, in addition to sugar, many factors may also lead to the development of caries, including the form of food ( solid or liquid ), contact time, nutritional content, eating order, saliva flow, the presence of buffer and oral hygiene.
→ High carbohydrates such as sugar and cereals cause tooth decay
Many people believe that refined sugar is the only food that harms teeth.
In fact, any sugar that breaks down into glucose in saliva, will produce similar effects, including natural sugars such as honey and maple syrup .
and cereals and other carbohydrates , bread, noodles, white rice, potato chips, biscuits and pasta, etc.
We have shared a study before telling you that grains can also cause tooth damage, and many people's teeth are caused by eating too much grain.
The picture above: The two columns on the left are Indians who insist on traditional diets, and the two columns on the right are Indians who came into contact with modern diets↑
Our ancestors had good teeth. After they started eating grains and refined sugar, their teeth became worse and worse.
→Why do people's teeth fall off when they get old
Eating sugar when you are young will corrode your teeth and turn black.
When you are old, your teeth may fall off easily. If you get old, it is related to an important reason.
That is the inflammatory reaction. After plaque is produced in the gums, there will be inflammatory reaction .
Periodontal infection is usually mixed, the most common of which are anaerobic bacteria , such as spirochetes and Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Plaque bacteria will synthesize various compounds (H2S, NH3, amines, toxins, enzymes, antigen , etc.).
These compounds trigger an inflammatory response of , resulting in periodontal tissue loss, periodontal pocket formation, and loosening and falling off of teeth .
Until an abscess appears later, obvious pain, bleeding gums and bad breath will occur.
How to protect your teeth?
→Let teeth repair themselves
Like the human body itself, the mouth also has the ability to repair itself , and teeth are no exception.
saliva is rich in mineral necessary to remineralize enamel.
Before causing serious damage to the teeth, if the teeth are given enough time to relieve the damage to , repair the cornerstone of , and tooth decay has that may heal .
Unfortunately, the contemporary diet structure does not leave enough time between eating sugar to allow saliva to complete this repair work.
So, you should not eat sugar or starch every day, and it is forgiven to eat 1-2 times a week.
→Reduce the frequency of sugar eating
There is a clear positive correlation between the frequency of sugar eating and the development of caries .
Sweetened beverages are the most serious because they do not contain any cellulose at all to slow down the effects of sugar on teeth or blood.
Even if you occasionally drink a sugary drink, it can increase the risk of tooth damage.
A study found that among 2,526 young people aged aged 18-39, according to the 012 behavioral risk factor monitoring system, the intake of sugary beverages (SSBs) is positively correlated with tooth caries, and tooth caries are the main cause of tooth loss.
Among these young people, the number of permanent teeth lost due to caries or periodontal disease (1-5, ≥6 teeth).
If you have to eat sugary foods or drink sugary drinks, it is best to reduce the amount of time these foods stay in the mouth .
Using straws may be a better option to minimize the duration of contact with the surface of the teeth.
Or, after drinking sugar water, use water or mouthwash to clean the sugar in the mouth.
Any form of hard candy or chewing toffee fudge means that the time the sugar comes into contact with the teeth becomes longer, which is very easy to cause bacteria to produce more acidic substances , and eventually form tooth decay .
A large number of studies have found that there is a direct relationship between dietary sugar intake of and dental caries .
→Stimulate saliva secretion
helps stimulate saliva stuff, which may help prevent tooth decay .
A study evaluated the effect of sugar-free chewing gum on patients' treatment/anti-calcane , and found that chewing sorbitol, xylitol or sorbitol/xylitol chewing gum has anti-calcane effects.
This effect can be attributed to the saliva stimulating during chewing, especially when is used immediately after . Oral bacteria cannot metabolize polyol into acid.
This is also one of the main reasons why many oral experts recommend sugar-free chewing gum , which is used to protect dental health.
The key skin dragon says that
Most of the tooth decay and tooth decay are inseparable from dietary sugar and high starch diet.
So, the most important preventive measure is to reduce any form of sugar or high carbohydrate intake of .
Eat more high-quality fat and protein . These sugar-free foods can truly protect your teeth from tooth decay and tooth decay.
Of course, brushing teeth every day and cleaning teeth regularly, professional cleaning , which also helps prevent periodontal disease .
If you already have some gingivitis , it is recommended to use some antibacterial drugs in the short term, especially metronidazole and doxycycline, which is also beneficial.
When you are old, you must pay attention to reducing the inflammation level of , otherwise your teeth will really fall out.
