1, the misunderstanding of oral health care
Myth 1 Everyone loves to wash their teeth.
Dental calculus is the main cause of periodontal disease, and "tooth washing" is one of the important methods to remove dental calculus.
Experts pointed out that 1 g dental calculus contains about 1 100 million bacterial microorganisms, and cleaning dental calculus is one of the first choices for periodontal disease prevention and treatment. However, experts emphasize that tooth washing is not necessary for everyone. According to clinical observation, because everyone's eating habits and health care habits are different, there are obvious differences in oral health.
Even for the same person, the deposition of dental calculus cannot be simply judged by a fixed time period. For example, experts often see that some people don't wash their teeth for several years, and the periodontal tissue is very clean. Some people only wash their teeth for about half a year, and then a lot of stones and soft dirt are deposited on the periodontal tissue, so not everyone has to wash their teeth in a fixed period of time, which is called "regular tooth washing".
Myth 2 Use mouthwash instead of brushing your teeth.
The high incidence of oral diseases is closely related to incorrect dental care and cleaning habits. Experts point out that many people prefer to use mouthwash instead of toothpaste to clean their mouths. In fact, using mouthwash alone can only remove food residues floating on the surface of teeth, while some food residues and deposits in hidden parts such as teeth are not easy to remove. Therefore, never use mouthwash instead of brushing your teeth.
Some people think that mouthwash can clean the mouth. In fact, although mouthwash has antibacterial and bactericidal functions, if you use mouthwash without brushing your teeth first, the effect of mouthwash on preventing tooth decay will be very limited, and the bacteria remaining in the interdental space, gingival sulcus or periodontal pocket will still multiply rapidly. Studies have proved that a bacterium can reproduce one generation every three hours.
In addition, some mouthwashes contain higher pharmaceutical ingredients than toothpaste, and common mouthwashes may lead to oral flora imbalance, which may lead to more oral diseases. In addition, some mouthwashes will pollute teeth and tongue coating, and even lead to the disappearance of restorative taste.
Therefore, experts suggest that patients with periodontal disease should use therapeutic mouthwash under the guidance of dental professionals. In addition, health mouthwash should not be used for a long time. Rinse with clean water after each use to avoid drug residue.
Myth 3: It can be strong without tooth extraction.
Experts pointed out that it is the basic principle to treat and preserve teeth as soon as possible when there are problems with teeth. However, some people still insist on retaining their teeth when periodontal disease develops gradually and reaches the indication of tooth extraction, which is not conducive to periodontal oral health. Early tooth extraction is beneficial to the recovery of oral health.
2. What should I do if my mouth gets angry?
1. Eat watermelon
Summer is the season when watermelons mature. Watermelon not only tastes sweet, but also helps to remove fire. In addition to eating watermelon directly, you can also put melon meat in your mouth, so that your mouth can absorb the juice of watermelon, which also helps to remove fire.
2. Qinghuo tea
Tea has always been able to help clear away heat and reduce fire, and drinking tea also has a good therapeutic effect on oral fire. There are chrysanthemum tea, Pu 'er tea and so on. But pay attention to the frequency and time of drinking tea. It should not be drunk before going to bed or every day to avoid harm to the body.
Eat less meat
People who love meat tend to get angry in their mouths for a long time. At this time, in order to get rid of fire as soon as possible, we must change bad eating habits and eat more light vegetables, such as bitter gourd and tomatoes.
4. Mung bean soup
Mung bean soup is a good drink to relieve summer heat, which not only tastes good, but also helps to remove fire. Drinking mung bean soup often will eventually eliminate the problem of getting angry, and the effect is very significant.
