What Kills Teeth

Factors that adversely affect the health of the teeth are divided into internal and external. To the number of external factors forming dental diseases, include the composition of food, water, soil characteristics, climate, mode of life, social conditions, etc. Internal factors include individual physiological and anatomical features, age, heredity, immunity and other parameters. Can I protect my teeth from disease? Oh sure! To do this, you need to monitor the level of fluoride, maintain hygiene and eat rationally.

For example, frequent eating of sweet food kills teeth in two directions at once. First and foremost, sweets are food for microorganisms that effectively destroy enamel teeth. Also, the teeth are not used for their intended purpose( as a chewing tool), as a result of which they are weakened. Of course, there is no point in completely banning sweets - however, they should be eaten in moderation and in different forms( for example, there are more berries and fruits), and also brush your teeth, which would remove the remains of food from the mouth.

Full nutrition should be provided as part of the intrauterine development of the body due to the proper nutrition of the mother. After birth, the optimal means for taking care of the oral cavity is the mother's milk. Today the emphasis is on natural long-term feeding - with its help you can not just get all the substances necessary for growth, but also protect against oral diseases. After the child has teeth, the so-called "chewing deficit" should be eliminated immediately. If you do not use your teeth in your key function, then over time they become decrepit, as well as the formation of dentition and jaw. Another important point is the connection between the chewing and gastric digestion of food. This relationship is maintained at the reflex level, and therefore both excessive and insufficient chewing has a negative effect on the state of the stomach and the body as a whole.

A separate topic - oral hygiene. However, today the dentist in any children's clinic will talk about proper dental care. The only problem that can not be solved independently is the regulation of fluorine content. However, in many regions it is solved at the state level - fluorine-containing toothpastes are being realized, state programs for fluoridation of table salt and water are working, fluorine varnishes and tablets with fluorine-containing preparations are offered as preventive measures.

In a word, today healthy teeth are real, and the requirements that are associated with their preservation are simple, they can be performed by both children and adults.
