Dental care at Home: A guide to better dental health
Oral and dental care; It is an important issue that we should all dwell on sensitively. When the necessary sensitivity is not shown and routine daily care is neglected, it is inevitable that future oral and dental problems will occur.
As technology advances, our lives are getting easier with products developed for oral and dental care.
Cleaning teeth; With the first milk tooth rubbing into the mouth, the family should start with the help of clean wet sponge and cloth. When the first milk tooth is seen in the mouth, routine 6 months to 1 year dentist visits should be started.
As the child gets older, suitable brushes and pastes should be selected for him / her, and the habit of brushing with the help of the family should be gained with the right brushing technique.
In the same way, adults should be checked by the dentist for 6 months to 1 year, and the dentist should be informed about the correct and effective brushing and oral care routine.
While you are doing your daily oral and dental care at home (it is beneficial to have two preferably three in the routine), you can do your teeth cleaning with manual toothbrushes as described by your dentist, and you can also do your oral dental care routine with electric-rechargeable toothbrushes, which have been very popular recently.
These types of brushes have been shown to clean plaque better than manual brushes. Various features (timing can be made, it detects the pressure, warns you, provides easy cleaning of every area with position sensing technology).
We picked the right brush, but what about toothpaste? Many products on the market leave many unsure of which paste to use. The best choice; It will be to choose the paste that your dentist will recommend to you upon examination. In routine dental care, we should not forget the use of dental floss in addition to brushing 2 times a day, if possible 3 times.
Our toothbrush; It cleans the front and back faces of our teeth, but the interfaces that the brush cannot reach are the areas where tooth decays are most common. We should not forget that our teeth have interfaces as well as the front and back faces, and we should ensure that these areas are cleaned with dental floss at least once a day after brushing our teeth in the evening.
If you think about what alternative products are available to dental floss, forked dental floss, toothpick floss, interface brushes can be considered for ease of use. If you ask which of these products I should prefer, our answer will be dental floss.
Dental floss helps you to clean most of the plaques by touching each area on the interface of the tooth.
Another oral care routine is mouthwash, known as mouthwash. Mouth rinses are usually prescribed to our patients in our clinic after dental treatment, during the recovery period, to prevent intraoral microbial plaque accumulation after advanced surgical procedures.
If such mouthwashes are used routinely every day, it may lead to the deterioration of the oral flora and the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and harmful ones. For this reason, it is not recommended to be used every day.
If you do not have high blood pressure and are looking for a natural method, we can help to reduce the edema of our gums and relax by gargling with salt water and not consuming even 20-30 minutes of water after brushing your teeth.
To summarize; With the recommendation of the dentist, teeth should be brushed with a toothbrush and paste suitable for you daily, as instructed by your dentist, and dental cleaning should be completed using dental floss.
If we want to use mouthwash; Oral and dental care routine at home should be completed with mouthwash prepared with natural methods.
When you make the first examination appointment from Pulpa Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic physicians, after your dental care is done when necessary, oral and dental health hygiene motivation will be made, that is, all the information about your oral and dental care that you need to do and pay attention to will be given according to the personal oral characteristics and oral examination status of our patients.
For example, a person using a bridge and a person who does not use a different dental floss. In this examination, our patients will be given answers to questions such as which toothbrush to use, which toothpaste should I use classical or electronic toothbrush, how should I use dental floss, should I use mouthwash or how often should I use it.
