During the stay at home, some people may not care much about oral health care. Vickong Dental reminds: During the stay at home, oral health care is more important than usual.

Why is oral health more important in special times?

First of all, many peoples living habits have changed, such as irregular daily life, irregular diet, increased eating frequency, etc. These conditions may lead to the occurrence of gingivitis and the increase of risk factors for caries.

Secondly, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, isolation and traffic control and other measures have affected peoples psychological and mental states, and some negative emotions may induce some diseases of the oral mucosa.

Therefore, in this special period, strengthening personal oral hygiene maintenance, adjusting eating habits, and strengthening psychological adjustment can better resist the invasion of viruses, reduce the chance of disease entering from the mouth, maintain oral health, and promote general health!

How to do self-maintenance oral hygiene?

1. Brush your teeth correctly and regularly, and use more dental floss to clean

Some people will develop a state of laziness at home for a long time, and they can even live in bed for a day. At the same time, they may feel that they have no social needs, and they do not need to be too serious about brushing their teeth. This is a terribly wrong idea. Brushing your teeth not only refreshes your breath, but more importantly, removes the plaque buildup on your teeth. During the stay at home, many people will increase the frequency of eating, and will eat snacks and desserts uninterruptedly between meals, which will increase the risk of tooth decay. Therefore, Victoria Harbour Happy Dental recommends brushing and rinsing after meals while at home. Good oral habits, rational use of dental floss, prevent tooth decay and toothache!

2. Eat a reasonable diet and chew hard objects carefully

First of all, when you are at home, you should eat a reasonable diet, avoid eating too much spicy food, and drink less carbonated beverages as much as possible, because it is easy to cause the teeth to be sensitive to cold and heat. Secondly, you should pay more attention when eating hard objects such as nuts and spare ribs. Whether it is real teeth, porcelain teeth, or implants, you should not hit hard, because this inattentiveness will easily cause cracked teeth and dental trauma. Finally, patients who wear removable dentures should pay more attention to soft and sticky foods such as glutinous rice to avoid the occurrence of dentures loosening, biting the mucosa, and accidentally swallowing.

3. Pay attention to protection during indoor exercise to avoid dental trauma
