Tips for maintaining dental health

Do not bite into hard foods.

Don't chew or bite the ice loudly.

You know the phrase "얼.죽.아," right?

Enjoying an iced Americano

Have you ever opened the lid and crunched on ice cubes at least once?

When breaking ice like this and eating it

Occlusal force and impact can potentially cause teeth to break.

In addition to ice, hard cartilage, candies, etc.

Biting without thinking may cause your teeth to break.

One of the things you should never do is eat ice.

 

I also went for a regular dental check-up last year.

According to the results of the photos taken

My healthy molar has a big crack in itㅠㅠ

It looked fine on the outside and there was no pain.

The cause was 바로 통 almonds.

I have never eaten any other hard types.

I thought it was good to eat a handful of almonds every day, so I made sure to eat them daily.

Who would have imagined that such a thing would happen?

There are quite a few patients whose teeth are damaged from biting and chewing on pacifiers.

I also visited there for the first time that day.

I was truly so upset that I can't even put it into words.

Ice? Absolutely NO NO

Candy? Absolutely NO

Almonds? Absolutely NO.

 As you age, your teeth also become weaker.

You should never eat hard foods.

 

2. Using dental floss and not using toothpicks

These days, perceptions have changed a lot, so I often see elderly people carrying interdental brushes, but I think they still use toothpicks more frequently.

This tool is pointed and can cause irritation or injury to the gums during use, and if used improperly, it may also...

It can also be made to open wider between the teeth.

Instead of a toothpick, suitable for between my teeth

Replacing with interdental brushes and dental floss

I think it's about how to maintain healthy gums and teeth.

Just by brushing your teeth

Because plaque cannot be completely removed

You should use dental floss and interdental brushes every day.

Buy according to size and clean between the teeth.

I am also using an oral irrigator.

 

3. Do not wet the toothbrush when brushing your teeth

After directly wetting the toothpaste with water

When you brush your teeth

As the abrasive concentration becomes more diluted

It is said that the cleansing power has decreased.

Therefore, it is better to wipe directly without getting water on it as much as possible.

 

Rinse with lukewarm water at least 5 times.

For refreshment and relief

I mainly use cold water.

Regarding dental health

It is said that it does not have a very positive effect.

Therefore, I am practicing the correct brushing method by rinsing thoroughly at least five times with lukewarm water whenever possible.

 

Brush your teeth within 3 minutes after eating.

Within 3 minutes after eating food

You know that brushing your teeth well makes them strong, right?

Cavities are also caused by bacteria, which are living organisms.

What can be eaten to promote growth?

It takes time.

Therefore, the time during which cavities can proliferate

It is better not to give it.

Therefore, it doesn't have to be exactly 3 minutes.

It is best to brush your teeth as quickly as possible.

 

Avoid sugary soft drinks, beer, and smoking that are harmful to teeth.

Foods containing sugar, such as carbonated drinks and beer

It is best to avoid because it causes cavities.

If you drank carbonated drinks or beer

Brush your teeth 30 minutes after taking the medication.

You can prevent tooth decay.

Smoking worsens gum inflammation.

There are many cases where periodontal pockets are created.

 

7. Keep your toothbrush clean and free from bacteria

Old toothbrushes lose their elasticity, making brushing ineffective and increasing the risk of bacterial growth.

Once every 1 to 3 months

It is replaced regularly.

It is also important to wash your toothbrush thoroughly after brushing and dry it in the sunlight.

Our house uses a toothbrush sterilizer.

 

 

8. Regular health check-up

No matter how well you do it according to the above method, there are places that cannot be checked visually.

Get regular check-ups once or twice a year.

We will proceed with tartar removal.

I go for a regular check-up once every six months.

Even if tartar removal has not been done for a year

I do it if necessary.

 

Let's all abandon bad oral hygiene habits and take good care of our teeth.

Let's maintain healthy teeth.
