For an eater, no what can stop his yearning for delicious food.
Hot pot barbecue malatang, egg tart pizza chocolate, pudding cone ice cream… are all naked temptations.
But once there is a tooth injury, no matter how strong the desire is, it is lost to:
Toothache
Although it is not an instant ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, it can erode the body in a gentle breeze and drizzle, bit by bit, and it is painful.
How much can toothache hurt?
Even if modern medicine is advanced and developed, the answer is a word [pain] that cannot be described at all: pain to deformation, pain to blur…
Ancient people were also deeply troubled.
Poet Bai Juyi, with the word Lotte, is indeed an optimist, but after a long history of tooth decay and pulpitis, he is also not happy.
Only a lot of poems with [pain] are left behind, such as:
Headache and toothache lie down for three days,
The wife saw the decocted medicine maid to help.
At present, it seems to be proofreading,
First ask the south neighbor if there is any wine.
What does what mean?
To the effect that:
Oh, my mother, my toothache is so deadly that I have been lying in bed for three days. My legs are soft and I can’t stand up.
I couldn’t help it. I was going to knock on my neighbor’s door and borrow a bottle of Erguotou from him. I hope I wouldn’t feel any pain when I was drunk.
Poetry is not very famous, but the appearance of ancient people when tooth decay broke out was vivid.
Toothache caused by tooth decay is also the most common in modern times.
Which daily bad habits lead to tooth decay?
Love snacks? Love soda? Love sugar? Still didn’t brush your teeth well?
Let’s give an example:
This is not the only person who listed sugary food as [dangerous goods] for a reason.
Sugar, it seems too much to say that it is both an angel and a devil.
On the one hand, sugar can bring sweet pleasure to people and also provide necessary energy for people.
On the other hand, sugar will be decomposed into acidic substances by bacteria in the oral cavity and adhere to the tooth surface, slowly corroding the hard tissue of teeth.
In this way, it seems that sugar-containing food causes tooth decay?
This conclusion is too one-sided.
1. The vast majority of daily foods contain sugar
For example, most of the Chinese favorite rice is actually starch, a kind of sugar in a broad sense. Sugar in rice may also cause tooth decay, but this is not enough to make people not eat.
2. Saliva itself can resist corrosion by acidic substances.
Human saliva not only washes away the surface of teeth and carbohydrates harmful to teeth, but also serves as a [buffer] to keep the pH value stable and prevent acidic substances from causing tooth decay.
3. Etching teeth also takes time
Sugar needs to stay in the oral cavity for a long time to produce acidic substances that corrode teeth.
Take soda as an example. People usually think that drinking soda hurts teeth. In fact, this view is absolute and one-sided.
Soda water enters esophagus through oral cavity and stays in oral cavity for a short time. On the premise of ensuring oral cavity cleanliness and correct tooth protection habits, moderate drinking soda water will not directly lead to tooth decay.
Therefore, tooth decay is not the fault of a specific food, and of course it is not all the fault of sugar. The key lies in your lack of correct oral care habits and reasonable eating habits.
If you are very concerned about tooth health, it is better to protect your teeth scientifically than to struggle with which food causes tooth decay.
This is more important than what.
Learn these 4 points to easily prevent tooth decay.
There are four factors in the occurrence of tooth decay: teeth, bacteria, food (sugar) and action time.
Among them, the accumulation of action time is the key to tooth decay.
It is very simple to prevent tooth decay. Don’t let sugar stay in your mouth too long.
How to do it?
STEP 1 Develop good eating habits
Eat less foods with high sugar or starch content. If you really like them, pay attention to appropriate amount.
Step 2: Learn to brush your teeth correctly
After daily diet, attention should be paid to cleaning the oral cavity to prevent food retention.
Babbitt brushing is recommended.
Toothbrush bristles are inserted at an angle of 45 degrees into the interface between teeth and gums, with upper teeth rushing up and lower teeth rushing down.
Moderate strength, gently press teeth with bristles;
Brush teeth with horizontal small tremor.
Step 3 Use floss correctly
When food is hidden in the teeth, brushing teeth is sometimes difficult to remove, and floss is the best tool to clean up food residues in the teeth.
4. Regular examination and treatment
To a certain extent, although we have taken the best preventive measures, there is still the possibility of tooth decay in hidden locations.
Regular examination is to find out these [bad guys] hiding in the dark and find out and treat them as early as possible, otherwise tooth decay will become more and more serious.
If you already have toothache, you still need to see a doctor in the first place.
As the old saying goes, although toothache is not a disease, teeth are also a part of the body after all. How can there be a reason why toothache is not a disease?
Besides, the pain may be really [killing] ah…
