Periodontitis is a common oral disease. Do you know how to effectively prevent it? In fact, prevention is very simple, so here are a few.

Among many oral diseases, periodontitis is a relatively serious disease. Here are some effective prevention methods.

Periodontitis doubles the risk of lung cancer

This study lasted 14.7 years and tracked more than 7000 people. The study found that people with severe periodontitis had an average 24% higher risk of various cancers than those with mild or no periodontitis. Specifically, the risk of lung cancer increased by 133% and the risk of colorectal cancer increased by 51%.

In addition to cancer, the periodontal disease also causes other diseases. Studies in various countries have found that periodontitis is the sixth major risk factor for diabetes, and the probability of periodontitis patients suffering from diabetes is 7 times higher than that of ordinary people; Periodontitis can also cause adverse pregnancy reactions and increase the birth rate of low birth weight infants; Full chewing is beneficial to the blood supply to the brain. After periodontitis causes teeth to fall off, chewing becomes difficult, and memory will be affected; People with moderate periodontal disease also have a much higher risk of coronary heart disease and stroke than normal people. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease are of great significance to general health.

How to prevent periodontitis?

1. Keep your mouth clean

We should stick to brushing our teeth with warm water every morning and evening. It is more important to brush our teeth before going to bed than in the morning. In addition, rinse your mouth with water after three meals a day, and try to remove the food residue from the teeth with the force of water. If the inlay is very tight, you can also remove it with a toothpick. We should go to the hospital regularly to remove the stones on the tooth surface to prevent the occurrence of periodontitis.

2. Force bite

Every time you urinate, you should bite your teeth hard, and do it every time you drown without interruption. This can promote the metabolism of oral mucosa and blood circulation of gums, exercise masticatory muscles and enhance the function of teeth.

3. Percussion pharyngeal fluid

Every morning when I wake up and go to bed, I insist on knocking between my upper and lower teeth. In the beginning, tap more than ten times, and then increase the number and strength of the taps to about 50 times each time. This method can strengthen the tenacity of the fibrous structure of periodontal tissue, promote the blood circulation of the gingiva and face, and keep the teeth firm. Swallowing saliva after tapping is also beneficial to health preservation.

4. Gargle with tea

Rinse your mouth with tea after each meal, and let the tea wash your teeth and both sides of your tongue in your mouth. This can remove tartar, improve the physiological function of oral orbicular muscle and oral mucosa, and enhance the anti-acid and anti-corrosion ability of teeth.

5. Correct chewing

The correct way to chew is to use both teeth alternately. If unilateral teeth are often used to chew, there is no physiological stimulation on the other side, which is easy to cause employment atrophy of the tissue. However, the heavy load on the side that is often chewed is easy to cause pulpitis, and the face is not correct, which affects beauty.

6. Diet tooth guard

Eggs, fruits, vegetables, spareribs soup, etc., are rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, etc., and are often used to strengthen teeth. The human body is prone to dental caries due to insufficient protein intake. In addition, pay attention to the protection of teeth when eating. For example, avoid eating too much sour and spicy food to prevent tooth enamel from being damaged by erosion.
