1, healthy teeth are like this.
Healthy teeth naturally have no bad teeth, no pain, no periodontal disease, and no discomfort when eating. In addition, fresh breath is also an important aspect of dental health.
Some people may think that a healthy tooth must be white, so they pursue its whiteness too much. In fact, yellow teeth are healthy. When tooth enamel is highly calcified, it will appear yellow instead of white. Therefore, it is unwise for many people to pursue the color of their teeth excessively.
2, sparse teeth
There are many reasons for thinning teeth, such as heredity and too small teeth. These are congenital factors, but more often they are acquired, such as bad licking habits, which make the spacing between teeth wider and wider.
Another possibility is that the gums shrink, which makes the teeth grow less and less full and the spacing becomes larger. Gingival atrophy is often caused by periodontal disease, which is related to aging and health status.
Another possibility of gingival atrophy is deficiency of qi and blood. Because of the deficiency of both qi and blood, it is difficult for the gums to be nourished, leading to atrophy. This situation is often reflected in other aspects, such as dizziness, insomnia, feeling weak and so on. Then we should "recharge our batteries" in time, eat more blood-enriching foods and strengthen physical exercise.
Once it shrinks, it can't be recovered, and the roots will be exposed, which is more sensitive to cold, hot, sour and sweet. If it is serious, it will lead to toothache. When the gums shrink, the teeth will become more fragile and prone to fractures, pulpitis and dental caries.
Sparse teeth will cause tooth displacement and make teeth no longer neat. This will seriously hinder us from chewing food while eating. Insufficient food chewing will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and facial muscles will also accelerate aging due to lack of adequate exercise.
3. The gums are red and swollen
When you observe that your gums are red and swollen, it means that your gums are inflamed, which means that your mouth has been infected by bacteria. If it cannot be treated promptly and effectively, it will lead to periodontitis.
Another reason that can easily lead to swelling of gums is excessive stomach fire and excessive yin deficiency in the body, which will accelerate blood circulation, not only bring bacteria to all parts of the body, but also lead to local swelling and excessive internal heat. Gingivitis is a typical disease. If it is caused by excessive stomach fire, it will be accompanied by bitter taste, bad breath, constipation and other symptoms to help you distinguish.
Once the gum is swollen and painful, it will make people feel that half of their face hurts, which is very painful. But as long as it is treated and conditioned in time, it can be obviously relieved. If it is caused by bacteria, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs. If it is caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire, you should eat more light food, avoid spicy food and consciously eat more vegetables such as radish, cucumber and bitter gourd.
For the gum itself, we should also strengthen the awareness of maintenance. We can beat our teeth in the morning and evening, which can promote the metabolism of the gum and reduce the occurrence of inflammation.
