Dental Health Care

People into middle age, there are two kinds of symptoms are the most easy and obvious occur: First, hair, two teeth. Hair in people, a young man set off the youth; but when you step “and Destiny” year, when, it allows you to deceive you “obvious old”, but apart from decorative appearance and conduction cooling to help metabolism outside almost no practical function. The teeth are not, you have the more old, the more teeth need dental Kin Kin. However, in real life, there is something wrong with the concept but in the confused old friends.
Misunderstanding one: old teeth fall off is a natural phenomenon, anti are useless, governance and the futility of

In fact, a large number of facts have proven that the majority of elderly people’s teeth fall off because of “periodontal disease”, “root caries”, caused by diseases such as osteoporosis, as long as these patients are the prevention and treatment, longevity of the elderly can retain a healthy tooth, at least, will delay the falling number of years.

Misunderstanding of the two: human teeth with the rat teeth, the more solid the more grinding, chewing something hard points, it does not matter

In fact, people’s teeth and teeth of rats are very different, rodents teeth grow too fast, if it does not put teeth grinding is short, so that infinitely long teeth, it could eat things that would be starved to death; but is different from a person’s teeth grow more slowly, especially in tooth enamel outer package is limited, excessive wear and tear will be destroyed; enamel damage, deep dentin exposure, pulp nerve endings lose their protection, not only prone to cause dentine hypersensitivity ( down teeth), will lead to serious dental caries; severe tooth wear, not only will cause the teeth to change the forward displacement or Lian Xing, significantly older, can also cause ear of the temporomandibular joint due to chronic pain triggered by improper bite. So the elderly should be particularly avoided tooth wear. Do not chew betel nut chewing sugar cane, nibbling hazelnut, melon seeds, fried peanuts, but can not use teeth to open bottle caps, needle injection, bite nails, etc. When the teeth with pliers; and even bristles must not be too hard to prevent tooth wear.

Misunderstanding number three: do not brush our teeth only, it is handed down from ancestors

Many old age has not brushing habits, particularly in the elderly in rural areas more common. They said that for generations is one such, as long as mouth rinse after meals on the trip, and why do away with the brush dig. And even more absurd to say “tick the more dilute the more teeth, the more the more brittle brush” and therefore refuses to accept the modern oral hygiene practices. In fact, no substitute for brushing teeth. The correct brushing brushing both the role of mechanical toothbrush, toothpaste, have the chemical decontamination and disinfection sterilization. To be effective in preventing dental plaque and calculus formation. In fact, elderly people should develop a habit of brushing teeth.
Misunderstanding of the four: if we continue to brush your teeth, there is no need to “scaling” of the

In fact, the brush can not completely replace the scaling, because eating a variety of food in a tooth surface, leaving their traces are formed by bacterial plaque, brush your teeth every morning and evening alone it is difficult to remove and clean, not to mention difficult to brush your teeth every angle As time goes on the formation of a plaque, pigment and other stubborn tartar. The “scaling” medical term known as “scaling” is a dentist with modern physical chemical methods to remove tooth surface of bacteria, calculus, pigments such as tartar; scaling is a highly professional technical work, it is necessary After a rigorous training to be competent. The hospital medical staff in the oral apparatus with manual scaling, take three to four hours or longer, is to use ultrasonic scaler scaling, they will take more than an hour. If you do those eyes look at the scaling remove tartar, you believe that brushing is in any case unattainable. In developed countries, scaling has become a very popular routine oral health, people on a regular basis once or twice a year to find their own dentist to scaling.

Mistakes five: a two teeth out, do not hurry to fill, and so lost a net change to full-mouth dentures save trouble

Some people think that older, How many pieces missing teeth is a normal thing. Missing teeth do not want false teeth, trouble to do more, lack of vacant bar on it. This continues a lot of harm: it will be significantly reduced ability to chew, affecting digestion and nutrient absorption; it will speed up the adjacent teeth fall off; will also affect the language and appearance. Dentures can help you to eliminate defects, restore tooth function and stability of adjacent teeth.

Misunderstanding Six: elderly people to smoke, drink tea deposition Huang Ya black teeth, can only go into the coffin, and no longer white

In actual fact, the current dental beauty has reached a considerable level, through the washing, bleaching and light-cured restoration, still you have a white teeth. Smoking, drinking tea, coffee and so the formation of tooth surface color of the dirt is a color, easy to get rid of, even tetracycline stained teeth such as tooth discoloration is also a way to change its. Can be bleached with hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals, can also be used ultrasonic scaler scaler can also be covered with light-cured composite resin were used. For the post-necrotic discoloration of the teeth, can be used in bleaching approach, removing the pulp, teeth by putting up a kind of drug, sealed, and Ge Jitian time after the change. About 5-6 times after the teeth will be white. If you have laser scaler, tooth whitening effect more satisfactory. In fact, not only for cosmetic teeth whitening, dental care and dental prevention and treatment is also an important measure of the elderly, for a white teeth, more youth representation, scoring twice feelings, with enhanced psychological effect of living faith.

Seven Mistakes: large hospitals to more money, and wash times nearly a hundred teeth, fill a hole in a few dozen yuan; small clinic a few dollars before pulling a tooth, scaling is also cheaper

Indeed, the same names, asking price is indeed not the same. However, you can know that they are at the clinic, the technical, operational level and quality of materials, how much difference? Say, scaling, Dental Hospital scaling to 1-2 hours, while it was in the dental clinic or beauty salon where scaling, only 10 to minutes. Only the visible tartar removed, leaving most of the pathogenic role of the deep tartar; exposed root can not be a timely manner, resulting in pain, but also aggravate the condition of periodontal disease; some of them caused by hemorrhagic disease bleeding and infectious diseases, cross infection. Besides cosmetic teeth, some dental clinics with the word “teeth whitening, 5 minutes bear fruit” signs; fact, it is hydrochloric acid, sodium and other liquid and corrosion of dental role of calcium, although bear fruit quickly, but ignored the dental hard tissue injuries large, bleached the event of tea, coffee colored liquid, then quickly coloring. Therefore, do not covet cheap, greeted with at least adverse effects.
