Recently, the news of the 10 -year -old girl with "tooth fix toothpaste" lost 6 teeth and caused heated discussion among netizens. A 10 -year -old girl in Hangzhou has a slight dental caries, which is commonly known as "tooth decay" and "worm teeth". Parents purchased a "tooth repair toothpaste" online. Unexpectedly, after several mashes were used, the child developed into 6 tooth decay. The reporter found that "tooth repair toothpaste" is common in major e -commerce platforms. Can toothpaste really "replenish teeth" and "cure tooth decay"? How to do oral care in daily life is really effective?

The treatment effect does not achieve further dental caries inside the teeth

The reporter searched for "toothpaste" on the e -commerce platform. The first column of the homepage appeared on a repair toothpaste saying "the same model specialty to attack tooth decay and worm tooth". The homepage of the toothpaste is written on the eye -catching "tooth tooth decay" on the eyebrow, and the repair renderings of the comparison of the front and rear are attached. A tooth tooth tooth becomes intact under the action of the toothpaste.

The reporter saw that the price of a restoration of toothpaste in the shop was 29.9 yuan, and the monthly sales were exceeded thousands, and most of the "buyer show" of the store praised its product effect. The over 100 "buyers" of the comment area showed their photos before and after, and said that the product's use effect was very good. Some claim that "buying this toothpaste to teeth does not hurt", and some showed the photos of the cavities before and after using them. It commented: "After using it for more than a month, the cavity has been reduced, and the tooth decay is fine ..." The reporter is Search for "toothpaste repair" and more products come out. "The more severe the better", "3 days to repair the tooth holes, never committed anymore", "A brush effective, invalid compensation", "repairing the tooth, 3 seconds of repair", "Recommended by dentist, dissatisfaction can be retired" ... Except for the comments full of comments, it is flooded in the comment. With obvious exaggeration, the propaganda of the seller's publicity is even more "miracle".

However, the reporter saw on the social network platform that many netizens held a wait -and -see attitude about the so -called "tooth repair toothpaste", and some questioned: "How can teeth be repaired by toothpaste?" Products, some netizens laughed: "If this is useful, isn't the dentist be unemployed?"

The reporter checked the details of many shops "Tooth Repair toothpaste" and found that the general principle of advertising publicity is that toothpaste contains active ingredients. After use, the surface of the teeth will slowly form a crystal, which will fill the tooth holes, or even even if it is time Your teeth are rotten to the dental nerve, and you can replenish the toothpaste.

Is "tooth fixing toothpaste" really so powerful? Referring to the online promotional pictures, professionals know at a glance that the so -called repair of the dental tooth of the merchant is actually the picture after the treatment, which is not true. Gao Ailing, director of the Department of Stomatology of Xi'an Red Club Hospital, bluntly stated that functional toothpastes on the market are more to prevent gingivitis, or reduce or prevent dental caries. There is no toothpaste that can repair dental caries.

Gao Ailing introduced that in terms of dental caries, when treating mild dental caries, the doctor will grind the tissue of caries and prepare a special hole shape. After the cleanup is completed, the pulp is specially protected and the entrance is filled. After the filling resin is curing, the shape is finely adjusted; if the teeth have a deep dental caries, it will affect the nerves inside the teeth, which causes toothitis. It also needs anti -inflammatory treatment and root canal treatment. Only after changing the medicine to fill and restore the shape. Gao Ailing said that toothpaste only plays a massage and lubrication during the brushing process. It is impossible to effectively clean up the caries. In terms of repairing filling, the so -called "tooth repair toothpaste" is also difficult to play.

"Whether it is cleaning or filling, it is very feasible to repair through toothpaste." Gao Ailing said that not only the treatment effect is not achieved, but it may be covered and filled with the dental dental tissue without completely cleaning up, just like It is dirty things in the tooth cavity, and the germs '"stuffy' in the teeth will cause further dental caries inside the teeth and even cause pulpitis.

Tooth checks should be like a regular physical examination of the body

The reporter noticed that for this type of toothpaste appearing in the market, the State Drug Administration recently issued an urgent reminder: toothpaste is not an artifact for "tonic tooth holes." The State Drug Administration issued a clear stated that recently, some so -called toothpaste products sold in the market claim that they have "promoting children's teeth", "repairing tooth holes", "closed teeth seams", "stable teeth loose", and even "let let Effects such as teeth regeneration ". It should be pointed out that toothpaste is not a medicine, cannot treat diseases, nor does it have the above -mentioned proclaimed effects.

At the same time, the State Drug Administration also reminded consumers to pay attention: Toothpaste usually refers to a semi -solid -based preparation that acts on the surface of the human tooth to the surface of the human body and plays a auxiliary cleaning effect. The friction agent is the main raw material of toothpaste. When brushing the teeth, the friction agent in the toothpaste rubbing the surface of the tooth through the bristles of the toothbrush to achieve the effect of cleaning and removing the stains. With the innovation of toothpaste technology, adding corresponding efficacy to ordinary toothpaste can make toothpaste have corresponding effects, such as adding fluoride can exert a certain effect of anti -caries. However, it should be noted that any toothpaste cannot treat oral diseases.

At the same time, it is reminded that dental caries are usually referred to as one of the most common diseases in the mouth. At the beginning of the occurrence of dental caries, the surface of the enamel began to get rid of the ore, and the development process of dental caries was irreversible. In other words, after dental destruction (caries) occurred by teeth, it is not renewable. Use fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth to enhance the ability to resist caries in the teeth, but it cannot reverse the development process of dental caries. Moreover, long -term gingival diseases have caused gum tissue to be destroyed, which in turn causes loose teeth. Professional oral examination, diagnosis and treatment need to be performed. The so -called "repairing tooth holes" by using toothpaste "" closed teeth seams "and" stable tooth loosening "has no scientific basis. Finally, the State Drug Administration reminds consumers: dental diseases and other oral diseases should be mainly preventive. It is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene habits and eating habits, regular oral examinations, choose toothpaste products rationally, do not believe that toothpaste can treat oral diseases with oral diseases The false claim.

So how do we prevent our teeth? "The most important point of protecting teeth is actually brushing her teeth." Gao Ailing said that most of the bacteria that produced tooth decay are anaerobic bacteria. After closed their mouths, they will give the bacteria a very good environment. Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening can clean the food residues in the mouth, keep the mouth clean, and reduce the breeding of bacteria. "It is recommended to use the" Pakistan brushing "method, choose a soft toothbrush, and clear the toothbrush and long shaft of the tooth to the direction of the root tip." She added.

If you want to be healthy, you can actually go without shortcuts. Gao Ailing said that in normal circumstances, dental examinations should be like a regular physical examination. However, at present, citizens have not paid enough attention to checking teeth. Most patients have to go to the hospital for a doctor until they find that the teeth have problems or have painful symptoms. When the teeth have pain, it means that dental disease is relatively heavy. Therefore, once you find that you have dental caries, you should find a professional doctor for treatment as soon as possible. If you do not deal with it for a long time, it will only aggravate the infection and lead to further deepening the degree of dental caries. It is hoped that citizens can gradually develop the habit of regularly checking teeth. It is best to check it once in half a year and find problems in time.
