Only with good teeth can one have a good appetite. Only when you have a good appetite can you have a good body!
In fact, no matter how old you are, when it comes to protecting your teeth, there are two main aspects:
One is to seek professional help on a regular basis-to see a dentist;
The second is to do a good job in daily oral hygiene-brush your teeth well, use mouthwash, etc.
What parents say is not necessarily right.
I must say in the first part of this matter, it is very important, don’t listen to my parents, my teeth are quite good, regardless.
In fact, there is no problem, usually not aware of the problem, a check often accumulated a large number of problems:
What is more prominent is gingival atrophy and tooth loosening caused by chronic periodontitis.
Teeth cavity, toothache and chronic infection caused by dental caries for many years;
Incorrigible residual roots and crowns caused by various reasons;
Missing teeth extracted for various reasons;
Wear and tear caused by years of use;
Oral malaise prostheses caused by past historical reasons, etc.
At present, the development status of stomatology in China is specialized. An stomatology hospital is divided into more than ten layers, all of which look at teeth and do not know where to go.
In general, I suggest to look at the restoration department or periodontal department first according to whether the teeth are missing or not. For those who are missing teeth or explicitly need to be implanted after tooth extraction, look at the restoration department first, and for those who are not missing teeth, look at the periodontal department first.
The two departments will give a relatively comprehensive treatment plan, and then the extraction of surgical tooth extraction, the treatment of tooth removal, the washing in the periodontal department, and finally back to the restoration of dental implants or dental implants. This process, coupled with inter-department referral, the waiting period may take half a year or more, to have ideological preparation.
Middle-aged and elderly people are also prone to dry mouth. If there is one, they should take it to oral mucosa department for diagnosis and treatment as soon as
This is the first round of a long visit to the dentist. After this round of treatment, In theory, the whole mouth should have taken on a new look. Because dental disease is a disease closely related to lifestyle and habits, This habit is sometimes not changed in half a year and a year, so it will not be changed once and for all. The follow-up is to stick to it, strive to wash the teeth once a year, and check the dentures every two or three years for those with dentures. These two routine examinations can find many new early problems, and it is much simpler to deal with them in time.
How to choose a good dentist?
What is more important than choosing a hospital is to choose a doctor. The main function of choosing a good hospital is to make you have a higher chance of meeting a good doctor.
Doctors have different specialties and styles. Middle-aged and elderly patients often need doctors who are patient and meticulous. The ideal plan is to find a satisfactory doctor first and bring his parents when he is familiar with it.
Accompanying is the key.
It is a bit difficult for young people in China. It is difficult to register dentists in domestic hospitals and the experience of seeing a doctor is poor. It is difficult for people to generate enough enthusiasm for a little dental disease. As a doctor, I can understand this. As for the clinic, it is mixed up with good and evil people. The good ones are really expensive and the bad ones are really poor. It is difficult to find out the direction without a master’s advice.
Moreover, our parents’ generation, due to their old ideas and living habits, mostly have low requirements on dental problems and are unwilling to invest.
These all need children to help parents overcome them. Now more and more online registration and telephone registration are taking place, and parents may not be able to understand them clearly. The elderly who get up early and even queue up in the early morning are mostly registered for their grandchildren to seek medical treatment. Hang up the number, listen to thousands of teeth, extract hundreds of teeth, or turn around and leave or pull out the matter.
Therefore, I suggest that children should make preparations for the whole process, choose medical institutions of appropriate grades according to their own strength, and don’t blindly pursue [the best]. Just like buying a car, Ferrari can’t drive if you want, but can do what you can.
Some gifts that can be bought for parents
This is more difficult. It is too difficult for children to teach their parents something. They are impatient in teaching and do not study seriously.
The best time for education is when the parents have just made clear the seriousness of the oral problem during the first few dental visits, and at this time the doctor will also put forward some improvement measures in life, and the children will help to urge them.
What needs to be done is to complete the equipment, electric toothbrush, tooth puncher and mouthwash, which I have sent to my parents and father-in-law’s mother-in-law in recent years.
Buy expensive, the old people sometimes don’t recognize your idea, but love things, feel so expensive not to waste. Of course, if parents are the kind of special careful, heard expensive loathe to use, that the opposite way. However, don’t put the cart before the horse, the most important thing is to seriously grasp the correct method, otherwise the dragon slaying sword is scrap metal.
If there are movable dentures, the dentures cleaning film can be considered if the conditions are good. Soda tablets with normal conditions are also good. After adding water, soaking dentures at night can effectively prevent various oral inflammation caused by long-term wearing dentures.
