Pay attention to the hygiene of their teeth, people began in antiquity. According to scientists, the first dentists appeared about nine thousand years ago. Already then prehistoric people knew what the drill is a dentist. Many later, they realized that it was easier to warn teeth diseases than to treat them. Ancient Egypt became a homeland toothpaste. It was made of a mixture of unwritten pumice, egg shells, mirraine and the ashes of burned bull's insides. The ancient Egyptians were the first to fill their teeth. Toothbrushes appeared in the XIV century in China. The usual shape for us they acquired later, already in the XIX century. Peter I is considered the first Russian dentist, although it considered the removal of teeth from all dental procedures.
Nowadays, the dentistry stepped far forward: modern technologies and drugs, advanced treatment techniques and prevention. Only the problems of the person and the opinion of the doctors remain unchanged: to keep their teeth, you need to constantly and methodically care for the oral cavity. Prevention of dental diseases includes self-esteem and professional hygiene.
"What a person can do himself? To brush the teeth in the morning and in the evening, rolling the mouth after meals, "says Dmitry Lancet, Chief Doctor of the Dental Clinic" Lancet ". "I am good to toothpaste, however, I don't think that they write about them in advertising, relate to the truth. It is simply there are pastes for sensitive teeth, where more fluorine and calcium, there are pastes with a whitening effect, where more sodium bicarbonate (soda), which, in turn, increases the sensitivity of the teeth. A person simply must brush his teeth and treat this process with respect. "
There are several common misconceptions regarding teeth care.
1. Confusion: The electric brush itself will clean everything.
Dentists believe: It is important not to be cleaned, but how.
"Almost no one knows how to brush his teeth correctly," says Irina Kabisheva, the healing clinic dentist on the red gate. - It is necessary to work out a clear algorithm of action. The teeth of the upper jaw are cleaned by the "releasing" movements from top to bottom, the lower jaw - from the bottom up. The direction of movements is left to right or vice versa, as it is more convenient. Chewing surfaces can be cleaned with circular motions. It is important not to miss a single tooth, not to leave a single interval. "
2. Miscending: Teeth in the morning need to be cleaned after meals.
During the night in the oral cavity, many bacteria living in the body accumulate. All of them are safely moving in our stomach, if you do not clean your teeth before breakfast. After a meal, you should rinse the mouth and hold a rinse in the mouth or use the irrigator - a special water jet unit for cleaning interdental intervals. The composition for daily rinsing should not have chlorine-containing antiseptics.
Women, causing hair, use several funds: air conditioners, masks ... Teeth require no less thorough care and care. Pick up toothpaste, brush and rinse, effective in your particular case, can only a competent dentist.
"I am very good to rinsing," Irina Kabisheva continues. - But they should be different in each individual case. If a person has bleeding gums - this is one group: "Forest Balsam", "cedar", Vivax Dent, Line Paste and Rinsing Mexidol Dent. With the hypersensitivity of the teeth, the remotehel, Alpa-Dent or COLGATE-PRO-RELIF production of Germany helps with weak enamel. When problems with the necks of the teeth, the pastes and rinsing of SENSODYNE have proven itself, but necessarily issued in the UK. There are anticipath pastes. But I do not really believe in them. The formation of the caries affects the mass of factors, and if we knew them all ... "
"I am good to rinsing, but in the dental office," says Dmitry Lancet. - If you take an average rinse for the mouth, then among the ingredients you will probably see any chlorine-containing antiseptics. And if you in the morning and in the evening you will use this rinse, it will inevitably move the moving equilibrium microflora in the mouth and something there will definitely increase (as a rule, it is fungus). Therefore, using chlorine-containing rinsings, I would not constantly advise. "
Dentists are united in the opinion that the teeth should be taken after each meal. Dental plaques are formed very quickly: not riding the mouth after meals - microscopic particles remained on the teeth, which begin destructive work, increasing due to the enzymatic processes occurring in the mouth. So the caries arise, periodontalosis, periodontitis.
3. Confusion: to strengthen the teeth you need to use pasta with fluorine.
In Moscow and nearby areas, the amount of fluorine in water is four times the permissible norm. Fluorine actively acts on the enamel of the teeth, and in some places there are spots of white or brown.
"It is clear that it is impossible to simply keep calcium or fluorine on the teeth," says Dmitry Lancet. - If there is a need to saturate the teeth with calcium or fluorine, we make transparent kapa that covers teeth from all sides. Inside the cabin is laid anti-inflammatory, fluorine-containing or any other composition. A man puts it on wheels. This is the most effective technique today. "
4. Confusion: To strengthen the teeth, it is necessary to include cottage cheese and milk in the diet, as they have the largest calcium content.
According to doctors, the greatest number of calcium is in the dried fish with bones and in sesame (respectively 3000 and 1150 mg per 100 g of product).
"The whole thing is that calcium is not always well absorbed by the body," says Irina Kabisheva. - In pharmacies you can meet water-soluble calcium forms. Most recently, the Russian development was on sale - the oyster marine calcium, which seriously strengthens his teeth and is better absorbed. "
5. Confusion Fifth: Toothpick is the best assistant in cleaning the interdental space after eating.
"In no case, Irina Kabisheva warns. - Toothpicks wound the gantry vessels and open the path of infection. It is better to use a floss - tooth thread. There are still special brushes - Brashiki. But only a dentist can say what brushes you need: they are produced different colors for different gaps. "
Age problems
Caring for teeth begins not even from the birth of a child. It all starts with pregnancy, when the teeth are formed by the fetus. Future mother must necessarily have a dentist.
"When a child was born, the parents should think about the form of a nipple, which affects the formation of the dental system of the child," says Irina Kabisheva. - In five to six months, his milk teeth appear, then the first problems begin to emerge. Even maternal milk causes the formation of dental plaques, which lead to caries. The child himself will not brush his teeth. This should be done by Mom: With the help of a swirl moistened in the peroxide or in a special children's toothpaste, you need to shoot a flare from the kid's teeth. "
With age to children's caries, periodontitis and periodontal appendix are joined. Periodontitis is a serious illness at which the gums begin to bleed, and their teeth are staggered. This is a generalized process for which the inflammation of the gum edge, bone structures is characteristic. It is necessary to solve the problem: to visit the endocrinologist, a gastroenterologist, a neuropathologist, and then go to a periodontist, which will be a comprehensive treatment plan.
Unfortunately, very often addressed to the dentist too late. The result is first bridges, then removable prostheses or implants, which, alas, do not come true.
Confusible professionals
"It is very pleased that modern young people realized: not only clothes and makeup are important, but also a beautiful smile, so it is necessary to regularly go to the dentist, and also be sure to make professional cleaning of teeth," says Irina Kabisheva.
Professional oral hygiene is not something out of a series of outgoing. If a person carefully refers to his health, for him these pro-cages are commonplace. The only nuance: a dentist who spends a skailing (professional cleaning of teeth) must have high qualifications. Professional whitening is a change in the color of the teeth with the help of chemical preparations. Changes in the crystal enamel structure does not occur. Three years later, their natural color will return: you eat, drink strong coffee or tea, smoke, and third-party micro particles are introduced into enamel through the microcracks. Whitening toothpastes are often used to whiten teeth whitening. We need to use them very carefully, because they contain a large number of active ingredients that can damage the enamel structure.
Professional cleaning is a painstaking work with each tooth using special brushes and professional pastes. As a result, the cuticular raid is removed, the teeth brighter reflect the light and visually become whiter. If a person has no special problems, the dented stone and the dental flare is removed using the AIRFLOW apparatus: the teeth are treated with a mixture of water and soda, which is supplied under high pressure.
Professional dentists will not only competently carry out hygienic procedures, but will be able to diagnose all dental diseases.
"We use a wonderful 3D technology - the best thing that is today in dental diagnostics," says Dmitry Lancet. - This is a computer volume of the dental area. I don't even need to tell anything, everything can be seen on the computer screen. I can show the patient everything that happens in his mouth, and even predict, with which it will face after a while. This allows you to exclude pathology and medical errors. "
Modern dentists against thoughtless dental removal. They are ready to take advantage of any opportunity to save even a tiny sprinkler and build a small one on it, but the tooth. The task of the patient is to maintain what nature gave him, take care of his teeth, fulfill all the recommendations of dentists, so as not to be afraid to smile with his own dazzling smile.
