Go to the hospital regularly to check your teeth and clean them.
Don't be afraid to go to the dentist. It is much easier to have a regular checkup than to fill a tooth after a decayed tooth.
Eat more vegetables and foods with high calcium content.
Vegetables generally contain more fiber, so it needs to be chewed many times when eating vegetables, which has a certain cleaning effect on teeth and gums. It can prevent gingivitis, and rich vitamin C is also good for teeth.
Teeth are the hardest tissue in the body, but with the increase of age, the elderly will also be short of calcium. Teeth will exchange calcium ions with saliva all their lives. If the body is short of calcium, the calcium in saliva will also decrease. Teeth also lack calcium. "Soften" teeth are hard to resist bacteria in the mouth. So drink more milk and get more sunshine. Drink more bone soup.
"Lao li, if you want to be in good health, you have to have good teeth. We old people, our days are getting shorter and shorter. Be good to yourself. First of all, be nice to your teeth! "
1, daily maintenance, effective brushing.
Implement the "three-thirds system": brush your teeth three times a day for more than 3 minutes each time. And pay attention to make the bristles form a 45-degree angle with the tooth surface, rotate the brush head, brush each tooth as much as possible, and let the toothbrush move back and forth between the upper and lower tooth row surfaces to remove deep residues. Don't brush your teeth sideways and don't use too much force.
2. Choose a toothbrush and toothpaste that suits you.
toothbrush
Only by choosing a healthy toothbrush that meets the requirements of oral hygiene can the teeth be cleaned without damaging the teeth and periodontal tissue. The health toothbrush is characterized by small brush head and flexible rotation in the mouth; The arrangement of bristles is reasonable, which is convenient for cleaning teeth, and the toothbrush itself is easy to clean after brushing teeth; The brush is capillary and elastic; The top of bristles is round, which is not easy to damage teeth and gums. Electric toothbrush is also a good choice. The slight vibration caused by its high-speed rotation can not only promote the blood circulation of the oral cavity, but also massage the gingival tissue.
toothpaste
In order to prevent tooth decay, you can choose an anti-tooth paste with restorative function. The formula contains free fluorine components that can directly act on the surface of teeth, and the cracked parts of teeth are particularly easy to absorb free fluorine, so free fluorine can play the role of directional restoration and effectively repair damaged enamel, thus preventing the invasion of bacteria.
3. Eat more "tooth-loving food"
Foods high in fiber, such as vegetables, coarse grains and fruits, are good for teeth. Eat more meat, eggs and milk with high calcium content; Avoid eating too many sweets. Especially in infancy, we should pay attention to the choice of diet. Parents should give their children more vegetables that can promote chewing, such as celery, cabbage, spinach, leeks, kelp and so on. It is beneficial to the development of mandible and the neatness of teeth.
4, tooth washing can not be less
Cleaning dental plaque and calculus in time by ultrasonic scaling, which is called "tooth washing", is one of the main means to prevent periodontal disease. Brushing teeth and washing teeth can't replace each other, because new bacteria can form within a few hours after teeth are thoroughly cleaned, and the maximum amount can be reached within 30 days. If you don't pay attention to oral hygiene or brush your teeth incorrectly, a lot of dental plaque will accumulate on the surface of your teeth, especially the parts that can't be brushed by a toothbrush, which will become dental calculus over time. If there are dental plaque and calculus on the tooth surface, which can not be eliminated in time, it will cause a series of diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
