Solutions to stuck teeth

It is often said that "toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal." This simply and vividly describes the pain of toothache. It is normal for toothache to be caused by food stuck in teeth. Although it is not as troublesome as toothache, it is also very uncomfortable. You will always feel like there is something stuck in your mouth. The problem of food stuck in teeth often occurs in the teeth of middle-aged and elderly people because the gaps between their teeth and gums gradually increase. Here we will introduce the solution to toothache.

1. Excessive wear of teeth can easily cause food to get stuck in the teeth, so the teeth should be used sparingly. However, as we age, the grooves of our teeth are worn down, especially for people who have the habit of grinding their teeth at night. Over time, the occlusal surface of the teeth becomes flatter and flatter, and chewed food remains near the teeth and is not easy to remove, which can easily lead to food getting stuck in the teeth. Therefore, you should use your teeth sparingly and eat less hard and difficult to chew foods.

2. If you have oral diseases, such as periodontal disease, it will easily cause gum atrophy and lead to wider and wider gaps between teeth. This will make it easy for food to get stuck in the teeth when eating, further causing a vicious cycle of oral diseases. Therefore, you must prevent the problem of food getting stuck in the teeth. It is also necessary to see a doctor and cure your periodontal disease.

3. It is also important to pay attention to oral hygiene. In order to avoid food residues stuck in the teeth for a long time, you should develop the good habit of brushing your teeth in time after meals. By brushing your teeth, the soft bristles of the toothbrush can easily brush out food residues, so that the remaining food cannot remain in the teeth for a long time and make you uncomfortable. It is also not easy to cause tooth sensitivity, tooth decay, gingivitis, bad breath and other problems due to the long-term retention of food residues.

4. If brushing your teeth after meals still cannot help remove food debris from between your teeth, another method is to use dental floss correctly. Use 30cm of dental floss, wrap it with the middle fingers of both hands, tighten the floss with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, gently slide it into the gaps between teeth like a saw, pull the floss up and down, inside and outside, scrape each tooth surface 4 to 6 times, then rinse your mouth with clean water. Remember to protect your teeth and don't use too much force.
