Dental Health Care by Mary Rose
Dental Health Care is one of the best prevention
programs to ensure fresh breath, healthy mouth and teeth for life.
Dental diseases are not considered to be fatal .Hence very often people
neglect the importance of oral hygiene. Nevertheless, the cost of dental
disease in pain, suffering, treatment and loss of work is huge. Teeth
are meant to last a lifetime. By taking good care of your teeth and
gums, you can protect them for many years to come.
Tooth decay is not restricted to children's disease. It can occur to
anyone as long as natural teeth are in the mouth. It is caused by
bacteria that usually exist in the mouth. The bacteria stick to teeth
and form a colorless and sticky film called dental plaque. An important
part of dental health care is to know how to brush and floss perfectly.
Careful brushing each day removes plaque. In addition to brushing, using
dental floss is required to keep the gums healthy. Proper flossing is
imperative because it removes plaque and leftover food that a toothbrush
cannot reach.
The following are the brushing Tips.Worn out toothbrushes cannot
properly clean your teeth and may injure your gums. So it is recommended
to replace them every three or four months. Teeth should be brushed
gently with very short strokes and enough pressure so that you feel the
bristles against the gums. The tips of the bristles do the cleaning, so
it should not be compressed. Never use a toothbrush with very hard
bristles .It can damage the gums. Teeth should be thoroughly brushed at
least once a day, preferably twice in a day. Children should clean their
teeth after every meal and at bedtime.
The following are the flossing tips.Flossing removes plaque and food
particles from between the teeth and below the gum lines where the
toothbrush can't reach. As tooth decay and periodontal disease often
start in these areas, it's important to clean them thoroughly and daily.
A commercial floss holder may seem helpful to use. Most children cannot
floss their own teeth until age 10. Gums may be sore and bleed for the
first five or six days after you floss .It is a sign that plaque and
bacteria are being removed. If bleeding does persist even after a few
days it is better to consult your dentist. Exercise care while flossing
as improper flossing injures your gums. Consult your dentist about how
to floss properly, to avoid injuring your gums.
A healthy smile is a winner at any age. Eat a balanced diet and restrict
munching snacks between meals. If you need a snack, choose nutritious
foods such as raw vegetables, plain yogurt, cheese or a piece of fruit.
Fluoride is important for both adults as well as children. Fluoride
compounds are present in drinking water and some foods. Brush your teeth
twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Replace your toothbrush every
three or four months or sooner if the bristles are worn as it won't do a
perfect job of cleaning your teeth.
Apart from following a good dental health care, it is essential to have
regular check-ups by the dentist whether you possess natural teeth or
depend on false dentures. It is also vital to abide by with any special
treatments that are required to make sure of good oral health. For
example, if you have sensitive teeth caused by receding gums, your
dentist may advise using special toothpaste for sometime. If you have on
false dentures, keep them clean and free from food that causes bad
breath and gum irritation. Make sure that you brush all the surface of
the dentures with a denture care product once a day. A common cause of
tooth loss after one crosses 35years of age is gum disease which is also
known as periodontal disease. This occurs due to infections of the gum
and bone that hold the teeth in its place. Gum diseases are also caused
by dental plaque.
Remember you can have just one set of natural permanent teeth in your
lifetime. Take good care of it and the reward will smile back at you
every time you look at your reflection. Keep away from activities that
are harmful to the teeth such as smoking, addiction to caffeine etc. A
healthy mouth is indeed an indication of a healthy body. By taking care
of your teeth, eating a balanced diet and visiting your dentist
regularly, you can have healthy teeth and an attractive smile your
entire life.
