tooth decay that is tooth decay , which is a very common oral disease. Early caries generally have no symptoms, and some may manifest as dental demineralization or black spots, lines, plaques, etc. on the tooth surface. When tooth decay deepens, tooth holes may appear, accompanied by transient irritation and pain. If the treatment is not done in time at this time and the caries continue to develop, it will eventually infect the pulp inside the teeth, causing pulpitis, apical periarthritis, etc., and causing severe pain, which is what we often say, "toothache is not a disease, it will cause life if it hurts."
Tooth caries are an irreversible oral basics. The damage caused to the teeth cannot be recovered by itself. In severe cases, it may also cause teeth to fall off. Therefore, for dental caries, prevention is always greater than treatment. So how to prevent tooth decay? National Dental Defense Group summarizes the effective methods of preventing caries into the following five aspects, becoming the "Dental Defense Five Fraction".
1. Brush your teeth correctly and choose a suitable toothbrush.
. Bacteria must be involved in the occurrence of tooth decay, and bacterial reproduction and acid production are mainly attached to plaques. By brushing your teeth correctly in the morning and evening, most of the plaque on the neck and adjacent surfaces can be removed, and the gums can be effectively protected. In addition, choosing a small-head toothbrush with good quality and moderate softness can not only avoid damage to teeth and gums due to too hard or poor quality of the toothbrush bristles, but also allows the toothbrush to rotate freely in the mouth and brush to every corner of the teeth to a great extent.
2. Using fluoride toothpaste
toothpaste contains fluoride . On the one hand, it can enhance the tooth's anti-caries ability; on the other hand, it can also promote the deposition of minerals on the surface of the teeth, remineralize early caries, and repairs enamel .
3. Healthy diet
Calcium is an important component of dental tissue, and the development of children's teeth is even more inseparable from calcium. In our daily life, we can appropriately supplement some calcium foods, such as milk, cheese and green vegetables, which are beneficial to teeth health.
4. Eat less high-sugar foods
0 The sugar in high-sugar foods remains in the mouth for too long and is easily converted into acidic substances, thereby destroying the enamel. Therefore, eating less high-sugar foods or beverages is very necessary to maintain dental health.
5. Regular check of teeth
Tooth caries is a chronic disease. Under the combined effect of the above-mentioned various caries-causing factors, teeth will become decayed in about one and a half years. Regular oral examinations can be conducted at the dentist's office to promptly understand the incidence of oral and teeth, and treat them in a timely manner to prevent the continued development of caries.
