Many old people like to try different foods after retirement, so they are very aware of the importance of a good tooth. They will brush their teeth twice every morning and evening for at least 3 to 5 minutes every day, and keep this good habit until they get old. But there are still many elderly people with toothache, loose teeth, and even a few teeth fall off from time to time!
So, why is this happening? Most of the reasons are that many elderly people often brush their teeth, but because they brush their teeth horizontally, there are obvious transverse grooves in the roots, which leads to loose teeth or even falling off.
It can be seen that the incorrect way of brushing teeth will make the elderly prone to serious periodontal disease, and even the situation of "old age" will appear!
In particular, brushing teeth sideways, especially brushing teeth sideways, will often seriously damage the protective enamel on the tooth surface, cause dentin hypersensitivity and wedge-shaped defect in the neck of the tooth, and brush grooves on the tooth surface, thus forming pulpitis, toothache, tooth discoloration, tooth death and so on. Horizontal brush method is actually a self-destructive brush method! Even though many elderly people know the importance of caring for their teeth, more and more elderly people suffer from periodontal disease. The fundamental reason is that many old people insist on some habits of caring for their teeth since childhood, which is wrong.
Transverse brushing is a kind of physical wear on enamel. Brushing teeth is to remove bacteria around the teeth, not to damage the teeth themselves. Transverse brushing can't remove the rubbish in the gaps between teeth, and it may also lead to gum damage, dentin sensitivity and other problems, which may easily lead to loosening or even falling off of teeth in the elderly.
In addition, there are some wrong behaviors that need attention: brushing your teeth with cold water will lead to toothache in the elderly with sensitive dentin; Brushing your teeth too hard may hurt your teeth; Brushing time is too short, and oral cleaning is not thorough; Too many mouthwashes after brushing will not keep the protective layer formed by toothpaste on the tooth surface; At the same time, the elderly should pay attention not to eat breakfast immediately after brushing their teeth, but it is more appropriate to eat breakfast after 20 minutes.
At the same time, the elderly also need to pay attention to some details in their daily lives. For example, staying up late often leads to a high incidence of dental caries. At the same time, if you drink less water, the oral environment of the elderly will enter a dry period, and long-term oral dryness will lead to bacterial growth. Therefore, it is suggested that the elderly need to drink more water and green tea to keep a moist oral environment. In addition to replenishing water, green tea also contains fluoride, which can protect teeth from bacteria.
If the teeth of the elderly have fallen off, they need to be repaired in time. In dental restoration, dental implants are recognized by the medical community as the first choice for dental restoration. The "immediate use" of dental implants in traditional Chinese medicine takes into account the special physique of the elderly in China, so that patients can not only avoid a long and painful waiting period, but also greatly reduce the number of follow-up visits. Through the omni-directional processing of CT oral panoramic image data, the three-dimensional dental medical image model is reconstructed from the numerical values of bone height, bone density and alveolar bone mass, and the accurate positioning of root in the process of tooth implantation is realized by combining spatial positioning, and the immediate effect is achieved through biomechanics. After computer analysis, the best position of bone implantation is accurately achieved and the best implantation depth is achieved. Minimally invasive surgical treatment without flap and suture is needed. From preparation to successful implantation, a tooth only takes 3-5 minutes, and it can be eaten at home after implantation that day. After operation, it was supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine to fundamentally strengthen teeth, protect gums, and make dental implants more integrated with gingival bones.
Only when the elderly have good teeth can they eat normally and enjoy a happy old age. When the teeth of the elderly have problems such as periodontal disease or falling off, in addition to seeking medical advice in time, it is also necessary to reflect on whether the elderly brush their teeth correctly. If the above phenomenon occurs, please ask the elderly to correct their brushing methods in time, and suggest the elderly to use the Pap brushing method.
