I make complaints about the size of the seam. I often hear people say: don't floss, floss will make your teeth bigger. Is that true? About using floss, I believe that many people will easily fall into a misunderstanding, in fact, using floss is a better way to clean up.
First of all, the normal structure of the teeth. For the sake of image, please clench your hands and hold them tightly. Think of your fist as a tooth, the crown you see with the naked eye. Think of the part below the thumb joint as the root of the tooth. Do you find that the middle part of the two fists in the wrist can not be fully closed, but there is an inverted triangle area. In fact, this inverted triangle seam is always there, just filled with gum. Then let's look at the picture.
From the picture on the left, you can see the normal and healthy gingival condition, filled with full gums between teeth. From the sectional view, you can see that there are still some small gaps, but they are well supported by gingiva and periodontal tissue.
Then look at the gingival condition of the right periodontitis patients. There is a big gap between the teeth. The gingiva is red, swollen and receding, exposing the root of the teeth. From the sectional view, obvious gingival and periodontal tissue atrophy, bone absorption is also very obvious.
After reading the picture, can you understand what the gap is getting bigger? In fact, you have lost healthy gingiva and periodontal tissue. You should face the wall for three minutes.
Maybe someone is still struggling. What's the vacancy in the middle of the teeth after the tooth washing? Is it grinding the teeth down? I solemnly tell you that the tooth stones are removed after the tooth washing. In short, the cause of the lower teeth stone is probably the calcified substance formed by the long-term retention of the food residue in the mouth. It's not as hard as the teeth, but it's harder than the gums. The harm of dental calculus, I generally say, can you imagine what will happen when you rub a piece of pork and a stone every day? Therefore, most of the redness and swelling of your gingivitis comes from the persecution of dental calculus. It's not too late to mend. From now on, pay attention to gum health, and prevent the gap from getting bigger.
Oral health is one of the ten standards of human health determined by the World Health Organization (who), which is a mirror reflecting human health and quality of life. Who defines the main characteristics of oral health as: clean teeth, no caries, no pain, normal gingival color, no bleeding, etc.
Toothbrush can only brush to 70% of the teeth, and the toothbrush can not be cleaned when the two teeth are closed. The accumulation of dirt throughout the year is an important cause of halitosis and tooth disease. Floss can easily enter into the teeth and bring out the impaction and dirt. It is an effective method to remove the plaque, soft dirt and food residue from the teeth and roots. Floss is better than toothbrush or toothpick in cleaning the adjacent surfaces of teeth. Oral hygiene will be significantly improved, and the pain and dirt caused by plug teeth will also be greatly reduced. If the floss is used correctly, it can not only effectively keep the adjacent surfaces clean, but also effectively remove some foods embedded in the adjacent surfaces without damaging the gums. If combined with brushing, it can keep your mouth clean and healthy.
