However, during the epidemic house, due to the disruption of the schedule and the pace of life, the maintenance of oral health also faced huge challenges.

First of all, you should adhere to brushing your teeth scientifically and standardized.

Both adults and children should use fluoride toothpaste, because fluoride is the most effective anti -caries that have so far. However, parents should pay attention that children have dedicated fluorine toothpaste, which is about half of adult fluorine toothpaste and cannot be mixed with fluorine toothpaste; when children use fluorine toothpaste, parents should carefully read the instructions of the use instructions Pay attention to the amount of toothpaste and prevent children swallowing my mouthwash after brushing.

In the choice of toothbrushes, a toothbrush with a small brush head, moderate soft hair, straight handle, and moderate length should be selected in order to rotate in the mouth. Under normal circumstances, due to the large brush head, adult toothbrushes are difficult to completely clean the molars located in the back of the mouth. To solve this problem, a child toothbrush can be prepared at the same time. Because children's toothbrushes are smaller than adult toothbrushes, they can rotate flexibly even at the back of the mouth, which is used to clean the grinding effect in the back of the oral cavity.

In the choice of brushing methods, it is recommended to use the Bazhi brushing method, and children aged 2-6 recommend using the arc brushing method with the help of parents. Pay attention to each surface of each teeth to be cleaned. Do not brush sideways hard. This method of brushing teeth is easy to brush out of the neck of the teeth. The number of times and frequencies of brushing should adhere to the "two or three systems", that is, brush your teeth at least twice a day for at least three minutes each time.

Secondly, it should be used scientifically and standardized to use auxiliary oral cleaning tools such as dental floss, toothing device, and tooth gap.

Although brushing is the most effective method of oral cleaning, there are corners that are difficult to touch in the mouth, such as the surroundings of two teeth. Dental, toothing device, and tooth brushes are good helpers to clean up these parts. They are sold in supermarkets. However, it should be noted that the tip brush is designed for patients with severe periodontitis with severe gums. Generally, we choose these tools to clean up. Regardless of the use of dental floss, toothing device, and tooth brush, the movements should be soft to prevent injury to the gums.

In addition, we should maintain good eating habits.

During the epidemic, a reasonable diet, eating less high sugar, carbonated beverages, etc., have a large diet that damage the teeth, eat more foods rich in crude fiber, reduce the number of sugar -containing diets in the meal, and control the intake of sugar -containing food before sleeping. In addition, you should avoid biting hard foods or items with your teeth, such as bones, bottle caps, etc., so as not to cause cracks of the teeth.

Finally, if the pain, swelling, and teeth cracking of the teeth or gums really occur, you should actively seek medical treatment to avoid misunderstanding. The current outpatient and emergency department of Huaxi Stomatology Hospital of Sichuan University will be held as usual. At the same time, online expert free clinic activities will also be held to provide oral health consulting services for patients who cannot go to the doctor due to the disease.
