The process of treating periodontal disease, I don't want to do it again

I am not afraid of rotten teeth

The current family education should be more correct. In our childhood, when the concept of hygiene education had not yet been established, I had no concept of visiting the dentist, so I did not know the after-dinner cleaning and cleaning methods advocated by the dentist. No matter how strong your physique is, it’s amazing that it will start tormenting you after almost twenty years (no pain doesn’t mean it’s fine)
I began to suffer from tooth decay, nerve pumping, tooth filling, and tooth extraction. I have also heard that some people are afraid to go to the dentist and take painkillers. I sincerely recommend that the toothache will be like Naoki Hansawa, you can temporarily suppress him. Come down, but one day, he will ask you to add. times. Bong. return. of.

You said, "I'm really afraid of pain." Actually, I'm not afraid. It was the first time in my life that I went to scale my teeth, because I hadn't washed my teeth at all. My gums were very sensitive and there were too many calculi. The high-pressure water jet rushed down, ahem ～～～～～～ Then I spit out a mouth full of blood. I just washed my teeth for two days. I was really scared and died. As a result, in those days, every time I encountered a teeth cleaning, I asked the doctor to give anesthesia. It's even scarier than an anesthesia injection, but I still don't want to take care of my teeth in this way. Anyway, are you the same as me when it hurts?

The result is that the frequency of toothache has been getting higher and higher for a while. The most annoying thing is that it is in the middle of the night. Because I didn't sleep well at night, I was even less energetic during the day. I couldn't even eat, so I asked the dentist. , he gave me an interdental brush and said to me, "Oh, you have a periodontal disease, just use this brush and you'll be fine." By the way, he stuffed me with a pack of painkillers. , Sure enough, it didn't work, it was good and bad, and after a while he told me, "This is very serious! I want to have a dental implant” I thought to myself, no, I have been cleaning my teeth here for a long time, and you didn’t tell me the seriousness before that. When I was very serious, you told me to have a dental implant. Therefore, I advise dentists to choose carefully. Usually, the kind of doctor who cares about the number of patients sincerely recommends changing it.

Periodontal disease not only causes you toothache and loss of teeth, gum recession, swollen gums, bad breath, and bleeding, but also causes other risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. Standard diseases come from the mouth.

In the end, I changed to a very good doctor and told me that periodontal disease can be treated first, not necessarily a dental implant at the beginning, and the health insurance is covered, so there is no need to worry about huge medical expenses (it is said that these treatments Fees are horrible abroad).

Treatment begins

1. The first step is to take a full mouth X-ray , wear protective clothing and bite the flaps and don’t move. Some angles will make people feel nauseous. People with severe foreign body sensation may be very uncomfortable. .
2. The second step is periodontal clinical examination (there is a diagram below) , and then this is also very uncomfortable, use a periodontal probe (sounds very bad thing), insert it between each tooth and the gum to see periodontal disease How deep the damage was, and putting the numbers down, it hurts in places.
3. The third step , Scaling , is simply to wash your teeth, but this time you will wash your teeth more thoroughly, that is, you will be more ruthless.
4. The fourth step is root planing (Root planing) The foundation of the teeth hidden in the gums is covered with plaque and uneven, so use an appliance to scrape it into a smooth surface (don't go to google, it should be scary) , if you think of it as treating bile cancer, it will be clearer. This must be anesthetized. No one can stand it. Just thinking about it makes the scalp tingle. The upper right and lower right were treated four times. It should have taken nearly three months before and after. The treatment process also encountered the Spring Festival. I dare not eat many foods that are too hard and hot, which is time-consuming and troublesome.

It’s basically the same after the planing operation is completed. The next maintenance is the key point. If you don’t take good care of it, periodontal disease will soon be found again, and you will be drawn again.

About sleep

Sleep quality affects dental health, do you snore? Snoring is likely to suffer from sleep apnea . In 2009, a study in Australia found that 77% of people with this symptom will suffer from periodontal disease . It is speculated that you may stay up late at night or be too stressed to sleep well during the day. If you are tired and have to work, your body will be in a state of inflammation for a long time, even if you are angry, it will make your bad breath and dry mouth.

When you snoring when you sleep, you will be used to breathing through your mouth, so you will wake up in the morning with a dry mouth. Dry mouth and improper cleaning will greatly increase the amount of bacteria, which will all get stuck in the depths of your teeth, which cannot be brushed. Yes, you just want to drink water when you wake up and you are thirsty. Some bacteria follow the water and drink it, and your body will get worse and worse. If you have this kind of sleep apnea, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately.

There are also people who grind their teeth or often clench their teeth , which will also make you periodontal disease find you. It is an unconscious bad habit. Grinding for a long time exceeds the pressure that the periodontal tissue can handle, the teeth are easy to loosen, and the food will Get stuck in those gaps, and then start to ferment and rot, super evil, this can be used to assist you with the bite device, so that there is no direct collision between the teeth.

cleaning tools

The usual maintenance can not only rely on toothbrushes. It is recommended to use interdental brushes, dental floss, and dental irrigators for more comprehensive cleaning. These tools cannot be replaced by each other, because the teeth are poorly designed and specially designed to hide dirt, so The less clean you are, the worse it will be.

The correct order for cleaning teeth is mouthwash>floss>toothbrush <br class="smart">This is a bit different from common belief, because if you brush your teeth first and then floss, bacteria can easily enter the gingival sulcus, and even invade the brain with blood Department, increase the risk of dementia. This point of view is emphasized by dentist Zhao Guoxiang that after eating, you should rinse your mouth with mouthwash or water to balance the pH value in your mouth, then clean the adjacent surfaces with dental floss, and finally use a toothbrush.

dental floss

After rinsing your mouth, use dental floss to clean the gaps. Practice this slowly. Don't feel like you are mentally retarded in front of the mirror. It's normal. For your health, you really have to stick to it!

toothbrush

Next, it is recommended to use the Bayesian method of brushing teeth , brushing for at least three minutes each time (electric toothbrushes are also suitable, and manual brushing while shaking is cleaner)

1. Place the bristles of the toothbrush at the junction of the tooth and the gum, with the bristles facing the root of the tooth, at an angle of about 45 degrees.
2. Take two teeth as a unit, move horizontally about half a centimeter left and right, and brush horizontally eight to ten times.
3. Rotate 5-6 times halfway from the gum to the tooth to strengthen the cleaning of the gum edge.
4. Brush the inner and lower teeth, and maintain the same 45 degree. The inner front teeth can be brushed by holding the toothbrush straight.
5. Slowly brush the occlusal surface.

Punching machine

I will add another program of the tooth brushing machine myself. I can't imagine that I will still wash out a lot of vegetable residues. It is conceivable that the cleaning of the teeth is not enough. It doesn't have to be expensive, just have it.

Modern people are busy, and it is not easy to clean up immediately after every meal, but if you think about such a hassle every meal, maybe you will eat a little less XD, if you really can't do it, at least at least! Do the cleaning before going to bed for a longer time, especially the dental floss. At the beginning, I will feel that my hands are disabled. I used to get angry at first, but once I get used to it, it will be faster, and I will give my teeth more time to maintain. It's a very worthwhile investment!
