Japanese health movement

Saliva secretion is closely related to oral health, which can not only resist bacteria and moth, but also neutralize the acidic environment in the oral cavity. Dr. Mori Zhao, director of clinical dental training in Japan, put forward nine testing points to help you confirm your oral health, and also taught two simple tongue exercises to promote saliva secretion and maintain your oral health independently! The six functions of saliva are 1: the function of tasting delicious food. Saliva will dissolve the taste-containing substances in food, resulting in delicious food. Function 2: The compaction function of keeping the mouth moist leads to the decrease of saliva secretion. If the mouth is too dry, it will cause pronunciation problems and food will not pass through the throat smoothly. Function 3: oral decontamination. The water in saliva will wash away food residues and bacteria in the mouth, and only saliva can keep the mouth clean. Function 4: The antibacterial experiment of rapid wound treatment shows that rats fed in groups will lick each other's wounds, and the wounds will recover faster than those fed alone, so will human saliva. If you put saliva on the wound, it will really get better faster. Function 5: Neutralize and buffer acidity. When eating and drinking water, calcium and phosphoric acid will be slightly dissolved on the surface of teeth. In an acidic environment with pH lower than 5.5, the tooth surface will begin to dissolve, and the slightly dissolved part can be recovered by saliva. Function 6: protecting teeth and cheeks saliva will form a coating on the surface of teeth, so that Streptococcus mutans, which causes tooth decay, cannot enter. In addition, saliva can also protect cheeks and tongue from infection or wound. At nine o'clock, self-assessment of oral health ◎ Besides bleeding symptoms, do you still have swollen gums?
