The World Health Organization defines "the standard of oral health" as: clean teeth, no cavities, no pain, normal gum color and no bleeding.
As for how to do oral health care well
Jiajie dental experts said that the basic health care of oral hygiene has the following aspects:
(primary prevention) is: keep your mouth clean, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth as much as possible after each meal, and use dental floss correctly; Maintain correct and balanced eating habits; Don't get into the habit of unilateral chewing; Check in the hospital regularly to prevent the occurrence of oral diseases.
Correct brushing methods and scientific oral care can ensure oral health. The key parts of brushing teeth are the adjacent surface of teeth, occlusal surface of molars, gingival sulcus and the neck of crown 1/3. The common cross-brushing method of saw is easy to damage teeth and periodontal tissue, and the bristles are not easy to extend into the gaps between teeth, so the cleaning effect is not good. The correct way is to brush your teeth at least twice a day for about 3 minutes each time, combining vertical brushing with rolling. Basic requirements of healthy toothbrush: small head, round head, frosted and soft hair; The toothbrush should be replaced at least once every quarter, and it should be replaced in time when the bristles become hard and hairy. Soft-bristled toothbrushes with blisters are not allowed. Of course, going to the hospital regularly is the best preventive health care method. If you have bleeding gums, you may be reminded that you have gingivitis, which is an early manifestation of periodontal disease and requires tooth cleaning treatment. If holes are found, they should be filled in time. If the cavity deepens and develops into pulpitis or periapical periodontitis, root canal therapy is needed.
Second, the secondary and tertiary prevention of oral health: early diagnosis and treatment, try to preserve teeth and maintain good pit and fissure sealing function. Newly erupted permanent teeth prone to dental caries are sealed with special materials, and the cavities need to be filled to prevent dental caries. Because the tooth itself has no regenerative ability, teeth with caries but no pulpitis or periapical periodontitis should be filled with dental materials after removing the decayed tissue and disinfection to avoid deepening the cavity.
