What is the standard of oral health?

Many people think that their oral cavity is healthy. In their eyes, as long as the teeth don't hurt, the gums don't bleed, the teeth are intact, and there are no wisdom teeth, they are healthy. But in fact, the standard of healthy oral cavity is far more than that. In fact, few people's oral cavity is standard and healthy, and most people are in sub-health or even unhealthy state.

1, what is the standard of healthy oral cavity?

The standard of oral health, first of all, is no inflammation, no gum bleeding, odor, swelling and pain and other symptoms. In addition, in 200 1 year, the World Health Organization announced to the world a hard indicator of oral health: an 80-year-old man has at least 20 healthy teeth in his mouth, which is called "8020".

Normal people have 32 teeth in their mouths, and some people are born without wisdom teeth, that is, 28 teeth. Therefore, it is not difficult to keep 20 teeth to 80 years old. As long as we pay more attention to oral hygiene, brush our teeth and protect our teeth in the right way, eat less food that is irritating to our teeth and reduce the growth of bacteria, most people can achieve "8020".

2. How to maintain oral health?

Brushing your teeth is generally not less than 3 minutes.

The correct way to brush your teeth is to make a 45-degree angle between the toothbrush and the teeth, slightly vibrate and rotate the toothbrush, and brush it back and forth gently before the teeth bite. Brushing your teeth for at least 3 minutes at a time can completely and effectively remove oral bacteria.

Brush your teeth from the first one.

The baby began to teether when he was about 6 months old. From the first tooth, parents should pay attention to the baby's dental health. At this time, parents can wipe their baby's deciduous teeth and gums with cotton swabs dipped in warm water every night. You can also wash your hands, wrap a clean gauze on your index finger and dip it in water to wipe your baby. Starting from the first tooth, it can not only care for the baby's teeth, but also make the baby get used to brushing his teeth from an early age, so as not to resist brushing his teeth in the future.

After the baby's first deciduous tooth erupts, parents should take their children to have a professional oral examination. When the baby grows his first tooth, it is also a critical period to develop good feeding habits. Go to the hospital for examination, on the one hand, you can get the knowledge of feeding and the method of cleaning teeth. Through examination, doctors can find the abnormal development of children's face, jaw and teeth in time.

It is best to wash your teeth four times a year.

Periodontitis generally has no obvious symptoms in the early stage of onset, and patients are usually difficult to perceive themselves and attract attention. Moreover, many people think that tooth washing will affect the firmness of teeth and destroy periodontal tissue, and they are unwilling to wash their teeth. This is a completely wrong concept. It is recommended to wash your teeth four times a year and form the habit of regular oral examination.

Protect your teeth. Remember three tips.

If you want to prevent periodontitis by eating more celery, you have to remove dental plaque in time, and there is a pure natural food without additives, which is the master of removing dental plaque, that is celery. The crude fiber in celery is like a broom that we usually use to clean. It can not only remove some food residues and tartar from teeth, but also stimulate the saliva secretion when teeth chew and balance the pH value in the mouth. Naturally, it can achieve a good antibacterial effect. Besides celery, mushrooms and fresh mint are also rich in crude fiber, which is a good choice for effectively removing dental plaque.

Chewing a small mouthful of tea leaves can effectively remove dental plaque besides crude fiber, and fluoride is also a particularly good substance to prevent dental plaque. Green tea, which we are all familiar with, contains a lot of fluorine. Usually, when we drink tea, we can chew a sip of tea first and then drink tea after spitting it out, which will have a good tooth protection effect.

Knocking teeth to prevent gingival atrophy is a traditional health care method, which is also advocated by Chinese medicine. Its principle is to give teeth a physiological stimulus. Often a physiological impact process will be carried out, so that this force can be transmitted to periodontal ligament and dispersed to alveolar bone, so that periodontal tissue can grow better and prevent gingival atrophy. Long-term cultivation of knocking at the door will bring very good results.
