I'm here to send health
The New Year is approaching, family gatherings, and food feasts are undoubtedly the time we are most looking forward to. However, in this time of joy, we tend to overlook an important issue – dental health. Dental problems not only affect our taste and image, but can also lead to systemic diseases in severe cases. In this article, we'll ** the importance of dental health and offer some practical tips so that you can have good teeth during the New Year.
Expand your knowledge: Common causes and harms of dental problems.
1.Dental plaque: Plaque is a colorless and transparent colloid on the surface of teeth, which is composed of organic substances such as bacteria, proteins, and mucopolysaccharides adsorbed on the surface of teeth. If not removed in time, plaque can form tartar, leading to oral diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis.
2.Dental caries: Tooth decay, commonly known as tooth decay, is a disease caused by the erosion of the tooth surface by acids produced by the bacterial metabolism in dental plaque, resulting in the destruction of the hard tissue of the tooth. If tooth decay is not timely**, it will gradually develop into pulpitis, apical periodontitis, etc., and may even lead to tooth loss.
3.Periodontal disease: Periodontal disease is a common oral disease that is mainly manifested by redness and swelling of the gums, bleeding, and alveolar bone destruction. Periodontal disease not only causes loose and lost teeth, but is also closely related to systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
4.Misaligned teeth: Misaligned teeth not only affect aesthetics, but also lead to difficulties in oral hygiene, increasing the risk of tooth wear, tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other problems.
