7. How to prevent toothache
1, reducing or eliminating pathogenic irritants: reducing or eliminating dental plaque, changing oral environment and creating clean conditions are important links in preventing caries, and the most practical and effective methods are brushing teeth and gargling. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and education, develop oral hygiene habits from an early age, and learn reasonable brushing methods. Brushing teeth can remove most bacteria in the mouth and reduce the formation of dental plaque. Try to brush once in the morning and once in the evening, and rinse your mouth after meals. Brushing your teeth before vomiting is more important, because the interval at night is long and bacteria are easy to multiply. Brush along the brush, that is, "brush from top to bottom, brush from bottom to top" and "repair both inside and outside", and pay attention to the occlusal surface of the teeth after brushing. In this way, you can clean up the food residue between your teeth and on each tooth surface, and rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth. Don't brush sideways, it is easy to damage gums and brush out interdental residue.
2, eat more rough, hard, fibrous food, clean the tooth surface by friction, and reduce the accumulation of food debris. Hard food needs full chewing, which not only strengthens periodontal tissue, but also rubs the occlusal surface of teeth, which may make pit and fissure shallower and help reduce pit and fissure caries.
3. Reduce or control the sugar in the diet: China is a country with cereals as its staple food, and it is difficult to control the carbohydrates in the diet to prevent dental caries. However, in recent years, sugar-based foods and various beverages have increased significantly. Pay attention to propaganda. Get into the habit of not eating sugar before going to bed. Eat more vegetables, fruits and foods containing calcium, phosphorus and vitamins since childhood. Try to eat some coarse grains. Pay attention to breastfeeding babies.
