Oral health status is a mirror reflecting the quality of life and health status.
People have not paid enough attention to the health care of teeth. There is also a folk saying that toothache is not a disease, and there are many misunderstandings.
A misunderstanding in understanding
Spit saliva at will, the fountain of life.
The outline nipples with herringbone arrangement at the base of tongue are regarded as tumors. In order to prevent the child from crying, the child was stuffed with sugar.
It is considered ominous to regard small yellow particles or deciduous teeth appearing on newborn's gums as monsters.
It is believed that neonatal cleft lip (commonly known as rabbit lip) is caused by mother eating rabbit meat during pregnancy.
A misunderstanding in understanding
If a child's dentition is not treated, he thinks the tree is big and straight.
If the deciduous teeth are not treated, they should be replaced anyway.
People think that smoking and drinking are harmless to the mouth and teeth.
Being conservative is a natural and inevitable law.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Dental Union (FDI) have formulated specific oral health goals according to the national health care goal in 2000 adopted by the World Health Assembly 1979. Everyone should enjoy complete oral health, and the teeth, jaws and related structures should be in the best functional state.
New concept of oral health
Oral health is one of the symbols of modern civilization.
Healthy teeth can last a lifetime.
Investment view of oral health (prevention first)
Healthy teeth can last a lifetime.
Being old-fashioned is not a normal phenomenon.
With the education of oral health knowledge, the formation of oral health habits, especially the development of modern oral preventive medicine, people have been able to effectively control the occurrence and development of dental caries and periodontal diseases, so that millions of people have the same tooth age and life span.
Healthy teeth can last a lifetime.
Practice has proved that the Japanese slogan 8020 and the European slogan 997722 are not dreams.
Believe in science, change ideas and attach importance to self-oral health care. From now on, from children, healthy teeth can accompany us all our lives.
Investment view of oral health
After solving the demand for food and clothing, people put forward a higher level of cultural enjoyment. In the urban population, people have generally attached importance to intellectual investment and are willing to spend money to cultivate the intelligence of the only child, but only a few people can actively spend money on oral health and invest in health.
Most people wait passively until they get sick before they go to see a doctor and spend money on treatment.
As for dental caries, an oral disease with high incidence, the incidence can be reduced by about 30% by early prevention, and the cost is only about 10% of the treatment cost.
Investment view of oral health
It is often found that many patients have to have their teeth extracted when they come to the clinic on weekdays, which makes doctors feel very sorry.
Advocating disease-free health insurance, actively investing in health and taking appropriate preventive measures are completely in line with China's national conditions and policies.
Pay attention to the third largest disease in the world
-Dental caries
Tooth structure
Primary and permanent teeth
decayed tooth

Dental disease is one of the most harmful diseases. Only when the prevalence of dental caries is 37.3%, there are 1 1 100 million teeth in China that need filling.
Dental caries has been listed as the third largest disease in the world, second only to coronary heart disease and cancer.

The most basic, important and economical way to protect dental health is to brush your teeth.

Toothpaste should be sold now, pay attention to the shelf life, and stop using it immediately if you have allergies.
Cleaning teeth can prevent heart disease.
Improper brushing, food crumbs, parasitic bacteria, saliva viscous components and exfoliated epithelial cells can form dental plaque, secrete yeast and toxins, and destroy teeth and periodontal tissues.
Dental plaque calcifies into stones, which is more harmful to gums and alveolar bones.
The bacterial protein of dental plaque enters the capillaries of inflamed gums and periodontal tissues, causing venous blood agglutination, which casts the pathological basis of potential heart attack.
Tooth and gum infections are indeed independent risk factors for heart attack.
Talking about tooth washing
What is tooth washing? It is a way to remove tooth surface pigments (smoke spots, tea rust); The other is called scaling in medicine, which mainly removes plaque and tartar on the surface of teeth.
Plaque is an unmineralized bacterial deposit, which has been considered as the main exogenous pathogen leading to inflammatory periodontal disease. Dental calculus is mineralized plaque and other deposits.
Both of them persist on the surface of teeth-swelling and bleeding of gums-which can seriously lead to loosening and falling off of teeth.
Talking about tooth washing
It is not only the first step to treat periodontal disease, but also the best way to prevent further development of periodontal disease.
Special reminder: tooth washing is a highly professional technical activity, so you should go to a regular hospital.
It should be emphasized that serious and effective brushing is an irreplaceable oral health care method.
