As you know, the causes of tooth loss can vary greatly. The most common reasons include tooth decay, periodontal disease, harmful bacteria and inflammation of the gums.
As you get older, the risk of periodontal disease increases. To prevent tooth loss, you should brush your teeth daily. In today's blog post, we explain why regular dental hygiene is important and not just for tooth preservation.
Brushing your teeth daily
Saliva, food residues and harmful bacteria cause a sticky and rough coating to build up on your teeth. This is plaque or dental plaque. This coating is the main cause of gum inflammation and tooth decay. Daily Brushing your teeth with our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrushYou can remove these deposits with dental floss and mouthwash.
If you are unsure whether you are using the correct brushing technique, you should use coloring tablets. This will discolor the plaque and make it visible. With our electric ultrasonic toothbrush, you can clean your teeth more thoroughly than with a standard manual toothbrush.
How does tooth loss occur?
Poor oral hygiene can lead to inflammation of the gums. If you do not remove plaque thoroughly, it will harden. It will turn into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist. Under no circumstances should you scrape it off your teeth with a sharp object.
This will damage your tooth enamel and your teeth will no longer be optimally protected. If your tissue recedes due to tartar, your tooth will sooner or later start to wobble. If you don't act quickly, you will lose your tooth.
A healthy oral flora
To ensure a healthy oral flora, you should brush your teeth thoroughly in the morning and evening. You can use interdental brushes or dental floss to clean the spaces between your teeth. Don't forget your tongue when cleaning. It can be carefully cleaned with a tongue brush.
To prevent tooth loss, you should also reduce your sugar consumption. Sugar is an ideal breeding ground for many harmful bacteria. A healthy oral flora fends off harmful germs and prevents tooth loss.
