Correct oral cleaning methods. We need to brush our teeth every morning and evening, and the health of our teeth is related to the health of our whole body. Improper oral cleaning may lead to the formation of dental plaque. Let's take a look at the correct methods and related materials for oral cleaning.
The correct method of oral cleaning 1 (1) Brush your teeth-clean your teeth.
Brushing teeth is the most basic oral cleaning method, and its main function is to remove and interfere with the formation of dental plaque, remove food residues and pigments on the tooth surface, and massage gums at the same time. The mouth is full of various bacteria. They are not "fighting alone", but "holding a group" closely, forming a membrane attached to their teeth.
And always ready to attract more bacteria to join, this film is dental plaque. It is the "culprit" of dental caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease. If it is not removed in time, it will continue to grow and mature and become hard tartar. Because dental plaque is "tenacious" and will re-form soon after removal, it is necessary to brush your teeth every day to remove it in time. Generally speaking, you should insist on brushing your teeth in the morning and evening.
About 3 minutes at a time. It should be noted that you can't just brush the outside, inside and outside of the teeth and the occlusal surface. It is best to brush them in a certain order to avoid omission. In addition, the direction of brushing your teeth is also very important. You should brush your teeth up and down instead of sawing them sideways, because it is easy to damage your teeth and make dentine hypersensitivity.
(2) floss your teeth.
Just like cleaning the room, there are always some dead ends that we can't sweep, and brushing our teeth also has dead ends that we can't sweep. The gap between teeth is such a "dead corner of oral hygiene", which needs to be cleaned with some special tools, including dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes and so on. Floss is most suitable for teeth with no obvious gingival recession.
Most people, including children's deciduous teeth, can use dental floss. The specific method is: firstly, take a piece of dental floss about 1.5 ~ 20 cm long and tie it into a circle; Then use the index finger and thumb of both hands to tighten the loop, and the distance between the two fingers is about 1, 0 ~ 1, 5 cm, and gently pass this floss between the two teeth. If the teeth are tight, it is difficult to pass.
By doing internal and external sawing; Finally, after dental floss passes through the teeth and reaches the gingival margin, it will cling to one side of the tooth surface, wrap around the tooth surface in a C shape, and move to the top of the tooth to "scrape off" the dental plaque on the tooth. According to this method, the dental plaque of the whole mouth can be removed in turn, including the distal end of the last tooth. After that, it is best to rinse your mouth with clear water.
At present, the dental floss sticks on the market are more convenient to use, and there is no need to wind wires on your fingers. Its use method is similar to dental floss. You can hold the handle with one hand, pull a part of dental floss through the teeth in a saw way from the inside out, put it on the gingival margin, and scrape it up until it is close to the tooth surface. Patients with gingival recession or enlarged teeth.
Choose a toothpick or interdental brush. Toothpicks are made of smooth plastic without burrs, and interdental brushes are more suitable for people with gingival recession. It should be noted that if the gingival papilla does not retract and is difficult to insert, it is not appropriate to enter reluctantly to avoid damaging the gums.
(3) gargle-remove residue
Brushing and flossing have completed the basic cleaning of the oral cavity, but the maintenance of the whole oral hygiene is not limited to the teeth, and the food residues in the oral cavity should be removed in time, and gargling can play this auxiliary role. In the Book of Rites in the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a record that "the chicken crows at first and is washed with salt water", which is about gargling with salt water in the morning.
It's best to rinse your mouth after eating sweets and after eating. For patients with oral infection or wound, mouthwash containing drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor, which can inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms in the oral cavity. In addition, there are some mouthwashes on the market that can help control bad breath and keep your breath fresh. But it should be noted that.
No matter clear water, light salt water or various mouthwashes on the market, they can only play an auxiliary cleaning role. It can't wash away dental plaque, so it can't replace brushing teeth.
(4) tooth cleaning-removing dental calculus
Washing teeth and gargling doesn't mean that there is no problem with oral health. Plaque is a terrible enemy. It is impossible to completely remove dental plaque and soft dirt from teeth after careful cleaning every day. Over time, dental calculus will form and you need to go to the hospital for regular cleaning, which is what everyone usually says.
Many people are concerned about whether tooth washing can whiten teeth. In fact, tooth washing is only effective to alleviate the exogenous coloring caused by smoking and drinking tea, and tetracycline teeth and dental fluorosis cannot be washed white. In fact, the most important function of tooth washing is to remove the stimulation of dental plaque and tartar, so that gingival inflammation can be subsided or alleviated. Ultrasonic tooth cleaning is the most commonly used method.
But not everyone is suitable. Patients with pacemakers (excluding new pacemakers), patients with infectious diseases such as hepatitis, tuberculosis and AIDS, and some people with bleeding tendency should not use ultrasonic cleaning. People who maintain good oral hygiene.
It is generally recommended to wash your teeth once every six months to 1 year. However, for patients undergoing orthodontics or patients with severe periodontal disease, doctors may shorten the review time according to the situation.
Correct oral cleaning methods 2 1. Brush your teeth carefully every morning and evening (especially before going to bed). At present, brushing teeth is still the simplest and most effective way to remove dental plaque on the tooth surface.
2. The daily tools for cleaning teeth mainly include dental floss, interval brush, home dental washer and electric dental floss. Floss and gap brush are complicated, time-consuming and laborious, and improper use will also hurt gums. The price of dental flusher and electric dental floss is relatively high, but it is convenient and durable to use and the effect is very ideal.
3. Use a household tooth washer to clean your teeth every day. Choosing American Jiebi brand is the best choice. Jiebi Dental Cleaner is a household oral cleaning appliance invented by American scientists aiming at the defects of toothbrushes, toothpicks and dental floss.
1200 ultra-fine diameter ultra-high pressure pulse water column per minute can reach the gaps that are difficult to reach by conventional instruments such as teeth and gums without any difficulty, so that teeth can be cleaned efficiently. With the conventional brushing method, the "interdental cleanliness" can be greatly improved, and the effects of preventing tooth decay, eliminating bad breath and preventing periodontal disease can be fully achieved.
The correct method of oral cleaning 3 How to maintain oral hygiene
1. Keep a long-term close relationship with your trusted dentist.
Oral health is an indispensable part of overall health. A good dentist can not only provide you with high-quality oral health care services, but also respect you, care about you, get familiar with you and become your friends. Such a doctor not only knows your mouth like the back of his hand, but also knows your general health, temper, work performance and hobbies.
I am familiar with your family, relatives and friends, so I can make a plan that suits you best and work with you to make your mouth healthier, your image better and your life more confident. The establishment of this relationship must be the result of long-term efforts. Undoubtedly, such a doctor is trustworthy. With such a doctor as your "private" oral health doctor and consultant, are you afraid that your oral health will not be guaranteed?
2. Develop correct oral protection habits to prevent dental caries and gum diseases.
Facts have proved that brushing teeth and flossing are important measures to prevent dental caries and gum diseases. The key to brushing your teeth is to master the correct brushing method. Vertical brush instead of horizontal brush; Use a toothbrush with moderate hardness; Brush all parts; Brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes at a time; Change a toothbrush every three months. Flossing can remove food residues where the toothbrush can't reach, such as under the gums.
It is one of the best oral health care. Many people say that they are not used to flossing at first, but as long as they persevere, they will realize its benefits. People who floss regularly have a 35% lower incidence of dental caries than people who don't floss. Professional dentists are happy to guide you to use dental floss correctly.
3. Follow a scientific and reasonable diet.
Rice and flour, fruits and vegetables, meat products and dairy products are our main food categories. Besides providing starch, protein and fat, they are also rich in vitamins and minerals. Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are indispensable substances for teeth and bones, and vitamins A and C play an important role in the health of gums. Any partial eclipse is not good for health.
But everyone's physical condition is different, so we must make a scientific and reasonable diet combination according to our physical condition. Sweet food is the enemy of dental health, but many people don't understand that the time that sweet food stays in the mouth is more important than its quantity, so we should try not to eat sticky sweet food and try to avoid eating sweet food between meals.
4. Be on high alert for gum swelling, bad breath and gum bleeding.
Gum disease is the main cause of adult tooth loss. Gingival inflammation will destroy the tissues around the teeth, which will eventually lead to tooth loosening and falling off. Fortunately, gum disease can be prevented and treated. Therefore, once the early symptoms of gingivitis are found, you should immediately find a dentist for treatment. Don't think that taking medicine can solve the problem, and don't think that brushing your teeth can cure it. At this stage, there must be a doctor to conduct a comprehensive and serious examination and timely and thorough treatment.
5. Go to the dentist regularly
Facts have proved that regular oral examination, early detection and treatment of tooth and gum diseases and preventive treatment are important measures to maintain oral health. Prevention is better than cure. Early dental caries and gum disease are asymptomatic. Early treatment can not only save pain, but also save money. We are very willing to keep oral health with you for a long time. Please don't have any worries!
