To prevent loose teeth, develop these good habits!

Loose teeth are a common problem for many elderly people as they age. With age, bones begin to slowly deteriorate, bone density becomes low, and people's teeth become tender, loose, and their gums bleed. In order to prevent loose teeth, it is recommended that you take good care of your teeth and take preventive measures in advance.

How to prevent loose teeth

1. Don’t be too attached to your toothbrush. Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush every three months because the soft, round bristles on a toothbrush will become clumped together after just a few weeks of use. When the bristles start to look like steel bristles turned inside out, it's time to say goodbye to them.

2. Use dental floss. Develop the habit of flossing to remove tartar between teeth.

3. Brush your teeth correctly. Brushing your teeth should be like wiping a mirror, not like scrubbing a bathtub. For careful cleaning, a soft-bristled toothbrush should be used.

4. It is better to brush well than to brush more. A complete cleaning once a day is better than several casual brushings. It takes two minutes to polish your teeth to pearly whites, but many people finish it in less than a minute. Try playing a song.

Precautions

Remember to brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals. Brush your teeth regularly to ensure a clean oral environment. It is important not to forget to brush your teeth at night. Brushing your teeth at night is more important than during the day. Because during the day people talk, eat and other activities.

The mouth secretes a large amount of saliva, which can rinse the teeth and inhibit bacterial growth. After people sleep, their mouths are in a dormant state, and saliva secretion is too little, so bacteria take the opportunity to grow and multiply.

If you brush your teeth before going to bed, the food residues and bacteria left in the gaps between your teeth will be washed away, and your oral cavity will be kept clean for a longer period of time. In addition, it is also important to use appropriate toothpaste and toothbrush when brushing your teeth. Children should use fluoride toothpaste and a soft and narrow toothbrush; adults should use a large and suitable toothbrush. This depends on your mouth shape and whether it fits your mouth properly. If you don’t have time to brush your teeth during the day, you should rinse your mouth frequently. If conditions permit, you can use mouthwash, which is very effective.

Pay attention to the time and posture of brushing your teeth. You should be calm and not impatient when brushing your teeth. The brushing time should be 2-5 minutes. Only by carefully cleaning each tooth and not giving bacteria a living space can you protect your teeth. The correct way to brush your teeth is from inside to outside, using the vertical brushing method, not the sawing method. You should brush the inside and outside of your teeth to keep your mouth truly clean.

Dental care. Dental care. Just gently tap your teeth, and learn to do it for one to three minutes when you rest or before going to bed. You should tap your teeth front, back, left and right, and be careful. By clicking your teeth, you can exercise your teeth, making them stronger and increasing their lifespan.

Early detection and early treatment. Check your teeth in the mirror regularly to see if there are any cavities, whether your gums are red and swollen, and whether there is any tartar. If you find any diseased teeth, repair them in time to save time, effort and money. If you find red, swollen, bleeding gums and tartar, clean them immediately. If there is bleeding, YAO should be applied locally; if there are residual roots or crowns, they should be removed in time, and the missing ones should be replaced.
