The main purpose of writing this article today is to share with you my experience of filling teeth, because I like to eat sweets very much, and I don't pay attention to oral hygiene and care, I have had five cavities filled in the past few years. As a veteran driver of dental fillings for many years, I remind you that there are also many oral care matters that need to be paid attention to after filling, such as poor oral care, which is likely to affect the effect of tooth filling. So today, I will share with you in detail the key points of oral care for fillings, and you must study hard.
1. If there is a gap between the tooth and the material after the filling, it means that the filling material has fallen off, at this time, you should seek medical attention in time and carry out relevant **, if you leave it alone, you may suffer from secondary caries.
2. It is recommended that people with dental fillings should be cleaned regularly, once or twice a year, which can help everyone comprehensively remove tooth decay and cure plaque and calculus, reduce the prevalence of tooth decay, and reduce the trouble of tooth filling.
3. It is not advisable to brush your teeth on the day of the filling**, and it is not suitable to use powerful teeth cleaning tools such as oral irrigators and electric toothbrushes, and you can only brush your teeth 24 hours after the completion of the filling.
4. Many people will use the wrong way to brush their teeth, such as violent tooth cleaning, horizontal tooth brushing, etc., but this method not only has a poor cleaning effect but also is easy to hurt the gums and teeth.
5. After filling, it is best to avoid eating too hard food with filled teeth, as eating hard food will wear the teeth excessively, which may lead to damage and loosening of the filling material.
6. After filling, we must be diligent in brushing our teeth, we must brush our teeth after breakfast and dinner, and we also need to rinse our mouths with warm water in time after eating snacks and fruits, which can help you better prevent tooth decay.
7. Just after filling a tooth, if you feel a slight tooth pain, don't worry very much, this is a normal situation, but if the toothache lasts for a long time, it may be that the filling material does not completely cover the location of the tooth defect or suffers from pulpitis, then you should seek medical attention in time.
8. Teeth grinding will wear out the enamel excessively, causing the enamel to be damaged, and then there will be tooth decay, tooth sensitivity, toothache and other problems, which will cause great harm to the filled teeth.
9. Although the brush head is not big, there are many details that need to be careful, such as the roundness is the place that everyone should be careful about, the tip of the bristles with low roundness is sharp and rough, and there may be tooth damage problems when used, and people who fill teeth need to use a toothbrush with a roundness of more than 80% bristles, the higher the better.
10. Remind all friends who fill teeth to pay attention to developing good chewing habits, chew slowly, and take turns to use both teeth to chew. If you only use one tooth to chew food, the burden on one tooth will be greater, and it is easy to aggravate the problem of tooth wear.
11. If the volume of the missing tooth is relatively large, there may also be a problem of tooth fracture after filling, so it is best to make a porcelain crown to protect this fragile tooth and avoid the crown from being broken.
12. It is not recommended for people with teeth filling to use freshly filled teeth to chew food, and it is best to wait until two to three years later before chewing with the affected teeth to avoid the loss of filling materials.
13. You can't eat within two hours after the filling, you can eat some liquid food appropriately for two hours, and you can resume your normal diet 24 hours after the filling surgery.
The dentist strongly recommended me to use an electric toothbrush and a dental irrigator. Because the cleaning power of manual toothbrushes is relatively weak, there are often cleaning blind spots when brushingIn particular, areas with a high incidence of dental disease, such as the gingival sulcus, back of the teeth, between the teeth, etc., are difficult to handle with manual toothbrushes, and electric toothbrushes can help you clean your teeth comprehensivelyIt can help people with dental fillings to prevent and improve dental disease, and it is also very time-saving and labor-saving to use.
According to the latest data, more than 90% of people in China have dental diseases, the oral environment is more complex, the cleaning is difficult, and manual toothbrushes alone are not enough to meet everyone's oral care needs, so dentists recommend everyone to use electric toothbrushes and oral irrigators.
However, electric toothbrushes and oral irrigators must choose ones with uniform power, large force span, and no damage to teethMiscellaneous Internet celebrities have frequent and chronic tooth injuries!I only recommend Philips and Huile. Among them, Philips' comprehensive quality is okay, the strength is large but the span is narrow, and the localization is average, which is not suitable for people with dental fillings.
As a recognized pioneer in the field of "not hurting teeth" in China, FILIX is undoubtedly the best comprehensive performance and professional tuning in this fieldIt is also the main model I have used for the longest time, and it is a rare old brand with a medical background and strict medical research and development standards among electric toothbrushes!Now it has launched the third generation of upgraded new products, pioneering research and development of eight major performance and tooth-friendly black technology, top-notch cleaning power and 89% reduction of damage, rare EU certification!It is also the first brand in the industry to offer orthodontic brush heads!The reason why we can achieve super comprehensive performance is to focus!Dead professional!There are no redundant functions, no large number of models, just a product for several years, rarely advertised, but many dentists recommend it, and the sales of offline channels have skyrocketed!
15. Mouthwash is not suitable for people with fillings, mouthwash generally contains bacteriostatic agents, pigments, alcohol and other chemicals, frequent use of mouthwash will break the balance of flora, more likely to have oral problems.
16. Teeth whitening products such as whitening tooth strips, whitening toothpaste, and whitening gel pens often contain dyes or peroxides, which are easy to corrode teeth and filling materials, and are very harmful to the oral health of people who fill teeth.
17. In addition to cleaning the gums and teeth, people with teeth filling should also pay attention to the cleaning of the tongue coating, because there are many bacteria on the tongue coating, and you can use a tongue coating brush to clean it once a week. Tongue coating brush I recommendMiyanHome.
18. Floss frequently. Floss is a common location for tooth decay, and dental floss can be used to clean the gaps between teeth and gingival sulcus, helping us to avoid adjacent caries. You can choose dental flossMother Deer, Oral-B FamilyTarget.
I hope my experience can remind everyone to pay attention to oral care after filling, so that the filled teeth can be better protected and accompany us for a longer time.
