Where is the body with the most bacteria? The answer is actually mouth!
There are more than 700 kinds of bacteria in human mouth, and the common pathogens are streptococcus, helicobacter and lactobacillus. If you don't pay attention to oral hygiene, these pathogenic bacteria will produce odor in your mouth. According to the survey of national medical service system, the prevalence rate of oral diseases in Taiwan Province Province is as high as 90%, which shows that Chinese people often neglect oral hygiene. Dr. Tang Zongfan also mentioned that in order to avoid the threat from novel coronavirus, many people often wear masks all day. Breathing with a mask will leave bad breath and bacteria in the mouth, stick to the skin, and even inhale through the nasal cavity, which may cause infection to people with poor immune system.
How to pay attention to oral hygiene during epidemic prevention?
Oral mucosa and saliva are the first line of defense against germs, and oral mucosa is also the most susceptible place. Nowadays, it is popular to "wear a mask to fight the epidemic". Besides preventing novel coronavirus from invading, it can also prevent many pathogenic bacteria or dust floating in the air from entering the oral cavity through the respiratory tract through droplets and adhering to the mucosa. On the other hand, if you don't do a good job of cleaning and let bacteria continue to breed in your mouth, it's easy to get sick from your mouth! Dr. Tang stressed that during epidemic prevention, you must wash your hands before eating and brushing your teeth to avoid eating germs directly.
In addition to forming the habit of washing hands frequently, tooth washing is also a direct and effective way to maintain oral hygiene. In this regard, Dr. Tang said that you must brush your teeth every morning and evening. Many people think it is good to have a toothbrush, but the teeth are three-dimensional, and all directions of your mouth must be really clean. Brushing your teeth can only clean your mouth by 70%, and brushing your teeth alone is not enough! It is suggested that tools such as dental floss and interdental brush can be used to help clean teeth and remove dental plaque. Finally, it is strengthened with mouthwash, which reduces the generation of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth and is less prone to oral diseases.

Dr. Tang also mentioned that during the consultation, it was often found that many patients used toothbrush bristles that were too hard. In fact, choosing the right toothbrush is more important than brushing times! Dr. Tang added that hard toothbrush bristles may penetrate deep into teeth, but they may also cause harm to gums. If you can choose a toothbrush with delicate and soft bristles, it can not only effectively fight the bacteria hidden in the dead corner of the teeth, but also reduce the pressure on the gums. However, the soft toothbrush will harden after being used for a long time, and it is recommended to replace it in 2~3 months.
There are hundreds of kinds of toothbrushes on the market, such as the design of 0.3cm fine brush head of "Brush Le Ultra-thin Series Toothbrushes" and the extremely fine and soft bristles less than 0.0 1mm, which can gently penetrate into the teeth, thoroughly remove food residues, effectively reduce gum pressure by 50% and prevent gum problems. In addition, there is a wide and narrow head design, and an extremely thin 0.3cm brush head design with twice the width can increase the contact area between bristles and teeth and quickly remove dental plaque, even wisdom teeth that are difficult to brush!

As Dr. Tang mentioned, mouthwash can assist oral cleaning, make oral bacteria tend to be balanced, and make oral teeth fresher. There are many kinds of mouthwashes on the market. How to choose them? Dr. Tang said that because alcohol has disinfection effect, alcohol will be added to mouthwash in the early stage, but alcohol has a strong effect on oral mucosa. If it has a wound, it will make the wound inflamed. Therefore, it is better to avoid using alcoholic mouthwash as much as possible. On the market, it is like the series of "Brush Music Professional Care Mouthwash", with mild formula, which can protect delicate oral mucosa and is suitable for the whole family to use together. It is worth mentioning that the original "CHG+CPC" double protective formula can deeply clean the tartar hidden between teeth, and rinse your mouth for 30 seconds every morning and evening, which is helpful to remove oral bacteria and prevent periodontal disease.
