How to prevent tooth decay?
Many factors can cause caries. In order for teeth to begin to deteriorate, bacteria and carbohydrates must simultaneously be present in the mouth. Poor oral hygiene, occasional visits to the dentist and the use of products that destroy tooth enamel, also lead to blackening and tooth loss. Of course, there are ways to restore teeth health and prevent tooth decay. As a preventive measure, various methods of cleaning the teeth and mouth should be combined with proper dental care and frequent visits to the dentist.
Brush your teeth every day at least two times: in the morning and in the evening before bedtime. If you wear braces , use special cleaning tools.
When brushing your teeth, massage the gums with a toothbrush in a circular motion. This massage will help to increase blood circulation in the gums, which contributes to the health of the gums and teeth.
Brush your teeth after each snack. Carry a thread for your teeth with you and do not forget to use it when necessary.
Rinse your mouth with water after each use of beverages or fruits that are high in acid. Citric acid damages the tooth enamel and over time becomes the cause of permanent tooth decay.
Also rinse your mouth with water after sugary foods and drinks. These include sweets, fruit juices, soda and liquor.
After brushing your teeth in the morning and in the evening, use a mouthwash. The rinse removes all food particles and provides the mouth and teeth with additional protection against bacteria.
Ensure that the oral cavity always remains moist. Saliva in the mouth helps fight tooth decay because it washes away food debris and plaque from the teeth. And substances that are part of the saliva, contribute to the destruction of bacteria that destroy teeth.
Drink plenty of water. Water helps to soften and release the pieces of food that are stuck between the teeth and cause holes in the teeth.
Drink and eat foods and drinks containing calcium. These include skimmed milk, cheese and cottage cheese.
Notes:
Quit smoking. If you smoke, the chemicals in cigarettes will not only cover your teeth with a yellow blob, but also lead to the appearance of tartar and gums on the teeth.
Prolonged use of narcotic drugs, such as methamphetamine, also contributes to tooth decay and tooth loss.
