September 20th is my country's 34th "National Love Day". The theme of this year's propaganda is "oral health, systemic health", and the sub -theme is "Deothic Guardian Teeth Strong and Healthy Chinese Nation".

The National Health and Health Commission released its entrusted to the China Stomatological Association and the China Dental Disease Control Foundation and other institutions and experts.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the prevalence of oral diseases in adolescents is gradually increasing. In addition, the lack of adolescent oral health awareness and self -control has made adolescents a vulnerable population of various types of oral diseases.

In the face of the common oral problems of teenagers, how should we prevent health care? Li Qun, the attending physician of the Department of Stomatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, gave a detailed introduction.

1. Healthy diet, acid -limiting sugar

Frequent intake of too much sugar -containing food or carbonated beverages can cause symptoms such as tooth decay and teeth sensitive pain. In severe cases, it will cause oral problems such as pulp and root tip, and even cause dental defects or even missing.

Therefore, adolescents should avoid excessive consumption of sweets, drink less carbonated drinks, reduce the number of sugar, control the total amount of sugar, eat more vegetables and fruits, balance nutrition to avoid picky eaters, and pay attention to cleaning after eating.

2. Brush your teeth correctly and use dental floss

The daily oral cleaning and maintenance of adolescents is the focus of oral prevention.

Correct brushing method with dental floss cleaning tooth gaps can effectively prevent caries and periodontal disease.

The way to brush the teeth suitable for teenagers is the Paya brushing method.

At the same time, you should pay attention to the number of brushes at least twice a day, the brushing time is not less than 3 minutes each time, and you must not eat again after brushing at night.

While learning to brush your teeth correctly, we must also learn to use the tooth gap position we can't get to the toothbrush.

3. Use fluoride toothpaste to apply fluoride regularly

Fluoride toothpaste refers to toothpaste containing fluoride.

Studies have shown that the use of appropriate amounts of fluoride can effectively prevent dental caries and enhance the ability to resist dental dental caries.

The use of fluoride toothpaste to brush teeth is a safe and effective measure of caries. The amount of fluoride toothpaste in the non -high -fluorine water areas is soybean particle size.

In addition to the use of fluorine toothpaste, adolescents can also go to the hospital to receive fluoride in the hospital every six months to brush a protective film for the teeth, which can also effectively prevent caries.

Fourth, the ditch is closed to effectively prevent caries

The closure of the nest gap is the most effective way to prevent the caries of the nest. After using the polymer material to fill the ditch of the teeth, the tooth surface becomes smooth and easy to clean, and the bacteria are not easy to save, thereby preventing the ditch caries.

The closure of the ditch is a non -invasive technology that does not cause pain. The attending physician of Li Qun suggested that after the teenager 11-13, the second grinding teeth can be closed after the second molar germination.

Fifth, regular cleaning, maintaining hygiene

Gingivitis is a common oral disease in adolescents, which can cause symptoms such as gums and swelling, gum bleeding.

The cleansing can remove the soft dirt on the surface of the teeth, and the plaque and stones that cannot be removed by brushing to prevent and treat gum inflammation, and effectively maintain the health of the tooth.

6. Launting tooth, correction of the wrong jaw

In addition to affecting the aesthetics, adolescent mandibular malformations will also affect their chewing, pronunciation, and even mental health. At the same time, they will also increase the risk of diseases such as caries and gingivitis due to incomplete teeth and cannot be effectively cleaned.

According to Li Qun's attending physician, after the completion of the teeth, at the age of 12-14, orthodontic treatment can effectively discharge the teeth, improve the appearance, and restore the teeth chewing function.

7. Sports to protect teeth and prevent trauma

In China, 95%of dental injuries occur in teenagers. Adolescents participating in sports activities, especially during fierce confrontation, increased the risk of dental injuries.

Therefore, in the process of sports activities, pay attention to wearing sportswear and non -slip shoes to prevent accidental falls or injuries. When performing fierce confrontation exercise, wearing helmets, protective dental tracts and other protective equipment to avoid causing teeth in intense exercise to cause dental tooth trauma.

Once the teeth are damaged, seek medical treatment immediately.

8. Regular inspection and strict prevention

In order to understand the health status of adolescents in a timely manner, early discovery of oral problems, timely treatment of symptomatic treatment, and timely blocking the development of the disease to prevent the disease from worsening, Li Qun's attending physician suggested that young people conduct oral examinations once or twice a year.
