Guard your smile
Oral health, as an important part of our overall health, is far from being maintained overnight.
It requires us to adhere to good oral hygiene habits day in and day out, which are the cornerstones of our lives and provide us with a strong health barrier.
Brushing our teeth is the most familiar way of cleaning our mouths in our daily lives.
However, have you really mastered the proper brushing technique? Proper brushing is not only effective in removing food debris and bacteria from the surface of your teeth, but also prevents tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Experts recommend that you use a soft-bristled toothbrush when brushing your teeth, place the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle at the junction of your teeth and gums, and brush gently to ensure that every side of each tooth is cleaned.
Brushing should not be less than two minutes to ensure a thorough removal of bacteria from the mouth. In addition, rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth to remove any toothpaste residue from your mouth.
Although brushing cleans most of the tooth surface, the small space between the teeth is often difficult for a toothbrush to reach. This is where dental floss and an interdental brush are particularly important.
Floss easily passes between teeth to remove food debris and bacteria trapped within; Interdental brushes, on the other hand, are suitable for people with large gaps between teeth, allowing them to clean between teeth more deeply.
The same method of flossing and interdental brushes needs to be correct. It is advisable to floss or an interdental brush after brushing to remove food debris that was missed while brushing. When using, gently slide the dental floss or interdental brush into the gap between the teeth and move up and down along the gap between the teeth, never using too much force to avoid damaging the gums.
In addition to daily oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups are also key to maintaining oral health. Through oral examinations, doctors are able to detect and treat oral problems in a timely manner, thus avoiding the further development of the disease.
Experts recommend that adults should have an oral check-up at least once a year. During an oral examination, the doctor will not only check the health of the teeth and gums, but also other structures in the mouth such as the tongue, salivary glands, etc.
Oral examination can also help us detect serious diseases such as oral cancer in time and improve the rate.
Oral hygiene habits are important for us to maintain oral health**. By mastering the correct brushing technique, flossing and interdental brushes, and regular dental check-ups, we can effectively prevent the occurrence of oral diseases and maintain oral health. These habits are also important for our overall health.
In our daily lives, we should always pay attention to our oral health and develop good oral hygiene habits. It's not just about yourself, it's about your family.
After all, a healthy mouth allows us to better appreciate the beauty of life and enjoy the time with family and friends.
I want to remind everyone that oral health doesn't happen overnight.
It requires us to consistently adhere to good oral hygiene habits, and only then can we truly have a healthy mouth and a good life. Let's take action to protect our oral health from now on!
Education & Awareness: First of all, we need to raise awareness of the importance of oral hygiene. Through education, everyone understands the importance of good oral hygiene habits to prevent oral diseases.
Family involvement: Parents should be the guide in the development of their children's oral hygiene habits. Brush your child's teeth regularly and teach them the proper way to brush their teeth and how to floss and floss and brush between teeth.
Community supportCommunity and medical institutions can organize regular oral health talks and free oral check-up activities to encourage residents to participate and provide personalized oral hygiene advice.
Innovative products: Encourage R&D and innovation in oral care products, such as the development of more efficient toothbrushes, toothpastes, dental floss and interdental brushes, etc., to meet the needs of different groups of people.
Policy support:** Oral health for all can be promoted through the development of policies such as integrating oral health into the public health system and providing oral health education and prevention services.
Through integrated efforts, we can build a social environment of oral health where everyone can enjoy the benefits of a healthy mouth. Remember, oral health is not only about the well-being of the individual, but also the well-being of the entire family and society. Let's work together for oral health!
