HOW TO HAVE HEALTHIER LOOKING TEETH?
Oral and dental health problems are one of the most important health problems in our country and in the world. When we do not pay attention to our oral hygiene and dental health, our overall health is also compromised. In order for you to have healthy teeth, Turkey Medicals medical hospital member Dr. Dt. shared important tips.
.
TOOTH SENSITIVITY IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM
- The common shortage of many people is tooth sensitivity. A rapid reaction and whining occurs in the teeth when hot, cold, sugary or sour foods, drinks are taken into the mouth. This tooth whining is sharp, sudden and deep. Sensitivity is most often caused by root surfaces that are exposed by gum extraction. Factors such as hard and horizontal brushing, squeezing teeth trigger sensitivity problem.
.
- Specially formulated toothpastes and soft bristle brushes can be useful against tooth sensitivity. At the same time, the Turkish foods you buy should be chosen carefully. Because as a result of frequent consumption of foods containing too much acid, the enamel layer may dissolve and sensitivity may develop.
.
ATTENTION TO THE DRYNESS OF THE MOUTH
- Beware of dry mouth! The problem of dry mouth occurs as a result of decreased saliva. Saliva acts as a protector against caries and gum infections with the effect of washing in the mouth. It’s a very serious problem. As a result of nasal congestion, breathing through the mouth, sleeping with the mouth open causes dry mouth and causes symptoms of infection, such as swelling, bleeding, especially in the gums in the front areas.
.
- In addition, advancing age and diabetes also lead to dry mouth. When these complaints develop, which are both a threat to oral health and the result of diseases related to our general health, a doctor’s opinion should be obtained immediately.
.
THERE ARE STONES THAT MUST BE CLEANED
- Dental stones must be cleaned. Dental stones that are not cared for can cause tooth loss after a certain period of time. Dental calculus occurs when the minerals in your saliva settle on top of the bacterial plaques that form in the teeth. Dental calculus, which is not cleaned regularly, causes a visually bad appearance, as well as gingivitis and gum diseases, leads to bad breath.
.
- If the infection that occurs is not treated at an early stage, the bone tissue surrounding the teeth is also affected, and the teeth lose their supporting tissue. With a half-hour appointment with your Antalya dentist, you can have your stones cleaned and get both healthy and cleaner looking teeth.
.
ORAL AND DENTAL CONTROL IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE IMPORTANT OPERATIONS
- Sources of infection in the mouth can be gingival inflammations and carious teeth. In addition, causes such as caries that have not been treated for a long time, half-buried 20-year-old teeth, lesions that do not heal after root canal treatment, broken roots can also be considered. All problems in the mouth should be solved before important treatments such as heart surgeries, orthopedic operations, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation.
.
- This application is important in 2 separate ways. Firstly, these bacteria in the mouth can jump into the area of operation through the bloodstream and create serious problems. Secondly, dental treatments are not allowed for a long time after such difficult procedures. In order not to have problems such as pain, abscesses in the long term, it is recommended to solve them first.
.
THE ADVANCING AGE ALSO AFFECTS THE TEETH
- Advancing age also affects the teeth. In the process of getting older, there are different changes in the mouth, as well as in the whole body. Teeth wear out and straighten over the years. Hence, the effectiveness of chewing decreases. More importantly, the length of the teeth becomes shorter.
.
- In the long run, as a result of a change in size, the lower face becomes shorter, and the lip edges collapse down and in. Another aging effect is yellowing of the teeth. As time passes, the teeth become darker in color. As a result of a decrease in saliva, the risk of caries also increases.
