Work pressure has soared! Beware of gum inflammation
In fact, the symptoms of dental diseases are closely related to general health. For office workers who have great work pressure and busy work and rest, because the autonomic nerves are in a state of tension for a long time, even eating, chewing or brushing teeth are very difficult, which leads to tooth neck wear, tooth enamel thinning, dentine hypersensitivity after depression, oral swelling and even bleeding.
Many oral diseases, the initial symptom is bleeding gums. Many office workers are only in their thirties, but because they work overtime and stay up late every day, they fall asleep after work, and sometimes they don't even care about brushing their teeth, so they get periodontal disease at a young age. Long-term lack of sleep is also the cause of low immune function and increased dental bacteria. Dental plaque is a nest of bacteria, which not only leads to tooth decay and gingivitis, but also increases the chances of myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases if you get periodontal disease. Therefore, caring for gums is the first step to protect oral health.
Prevention of oral diseases starts with caring for gums.
Healthy teeth depend not only on correct brushing, tooth washing and daily smoking and drinking habits, but also on the nutrition intake of three meals. Natural whole grain root foods, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, among which vitamin C can prevent gingivitis, while vitamin A and beta carotene can help inhibit the growth of dental plaque. However, there are a large number of out-of-town diners in Taiwan Province Province. In order to save time and cost, most people who eat out cook with processed food with too much seasoning. Too many artificial flavors may cause gum disease.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is the first key. If the oral cavity is not kept clean, bacteria in the oral cavity will continue to accumulate on the surface of teeth, between teeth and the edge of tooth flesh, forming thick and colorless dental plaque. Bacteria in dental plaque will secrete toxins such as gums, periodontal membranes and alveolar bones, causing gingival inflammation, edema and bleeding. When the periodontal tissue supporting the teeth is inflamed, the teeth can't grow well, which may even lead to the crisis that the teeth fall off or have to be extracted.
Caring for gums: How to choose oral "protective gear"?
Toothbrush:
It is suggested to use bristles with slender tips in order to penetrate deeply into gingival sulcus and molar space. You can also choose a special toothbrush for gum protection with soft and capillary brush. As for the size of the brush head, adults should be slightly longer than the end knuckles of the little finger. If it is too big, it may hurt the mouth and the molar area is not easy to clean.
Toothpaste:
