How to prevent oral ulcer in orthodontic treatment?
? Friends who also need orthodontics know that braces are needed during orthodontics, so if they are not cleaned and protected during this period, oral diseases such as oral ulcers are likely to be induced. So where is it? Let's take a look at the tips of the oral plastic surgeons in Liang Ya. According to an expert of oral plastic surgery in Liang Ya, it is usually difficult to clean during orthodontic treatment, and it is easy to leave food residues around the brackets, leading to periodontitis, decalcification of teeth, oral ulcers, tooth decay and other problems. In the process of orthodontics, common oral diseases such as tooth decay, gingivitis and oral ulcer must be treated as soon as possible, which interferes with orthodontics. In the process of orthodontics, take some methods to prevent tooth decay, such as pit and fissure sealing, applying fluoride varnish or fluoride mouthwash, brushing teeth with fluoride toothpaste, because fluoride can enhance the acid resistance of teeth, and pay attention to regular dental plastic surgery for examination. Pay attention to the following points during orthodontics to prevent oral ulcers: First, when wearing orthodontic appliances for the first time, parents should take the initiative to consult doctors about related matters, cooperate with doctors to do a good job in children's ideological work, and inform children of the dangers of poor oral hygiene. Secondly, patients with gingivitis should be given periodontal care before wearing fixed appliances. For example, total oral cleaning. This can not only remove the soft dirt and tartar in the oral cavity, but also clean the tooth surface, which is convenient for the bonding of the appliance and enables the correction to be carried out on the basis of good oral hygiene. Third, the doctor will pay close attention to the patient's oral hygiene during each follow-up visit, make suggestions and warnings, and demonstrate the operation of brushing teeth to the children when necessary. Parents should actively cooperate with doctors to do a good job of monitoring. If you want to do a good job of preventing oral ulcers during wearing braces, it is very important to clean your teeth. Some patients or parents often complain that it is inconvenient or unclean to brush their teeth with braces in front of doctors. There may be two reasons: first, the brushing method is wrong or the time is not enough; Secondly, no auxiliary cleaning method is used. When brushing your teeth, you should first brush the bristles horizontally along the appliance at an angle of 45 degrees with the tooth surface to remove the residue and soft dirt attached to the bracket and steel wire, and then brush the tooth surface above the bracket near the gum and other surfaces with the conventional vertical brush method. After brushing your teeth, you can check yourself in the mirror or with your tongue. If necessary, use a toothpick to pick off the residue or scrape off the soft dirt that cannot be brushed off. Therefore, what patients must do before wearing braces is to treat their own tooth problems in time, and patients should also pay attention to regular tooth cleaning during orthodontic treatment. After the orthodontic treatment is finished and the appliance is taken out, it is suggested that patients go to regular plastic surgery for routine tooth cleaning to eliminate hidden dangers that cannot be found during orthodontic treatment and ensure oral health. more
