Sooner or later we all have to meet with dentists. For some, this meeting is a normal routine associated with spending money, while for others it is sheer torture, that they seek to postpone indefinitely. People suffering from odontophobia (fear of dentists), big set. This fear dates back to Soviet times, when the anesthesia when the treatment was applied extremely seldom and reluctantly – as a rule, when removing the tooth. Today, of course, dentistry has leaped forward and completely painless, but the fear is still there!
How to overcome your fear of dentists, we have already mentioned, and today let's talk about how to keep your teeth beautiful and healthy for years to come!
First, but not the most important, is to find a great professional who will take care of your teeth, as its own. I recommend you look to their friends and acquaintances – ask those who have healthy teeth, their dentists. After that, consult each of these dentists and decide which of them to trust the dentistry.
But no doctor will be able to keep your teeth healthy, if you would not attach to this effort. Since childhood we were told that the teeth should be brushed at least twice a day! But if we follow this basic rule and how to do it? You need to brush at least 3 minutes in the direction from the gums to the cutting edge with inner and outer sides of the teeth and the chewing surface from the periphery to the center. Cleaning needs and the language in which bacteria will. The brush is better to choose the advice of a physician, but in any case the bristles should not scratch the enamel and replacing it shall be every three months. The constant use of whitening toothpastes, enamel affects not the best way, so it's best to alternate them with the health care containing herbs, and propolis, and sometimes to use the old checked up means — tooth powder.
The history of the toothbrush has more than one hundred years (and dental sticks that served as its prototype, is found even in Egyptian tombs), but she was not available to all segments of the population. And yet, healthy teeth are not the privilege of only the rich. Poor people mainly ate coarse fibrous food, raw vegetables. It replaced the brush, in particular, because with careful chewing will produce more saliva, which natural function is the cleansing of the oral cavity. Not neglecting the cleaning of the teeth, their experience is to adopt and us. Solid sour apples and raw carrots clean the enamel after a meal, strengthen gums, stimulate mucous. This is a very useful product for teeth — hard cheese. Not only that, he is the provider of calcium, cheese also cleanses the enamel and neutralizes acidity. We must pay tribute to the wisdom of the French, serving as a dessert cheese plate.
In addition, for the teeth are very useful natural cottage cheese (not cheese and curd desserts) and other dairy products, baked potatoes, high-quality chocolate (cocoa beans contain antibacterial ingredients), meat, cabbage and gooseberries. Harmful — sweet and sticky foods, citric acid and sugar.
After each meal (especially harmful), you need to rinse your mouth — also a truism. Try not rinsing the water from the tap and boiled or filtered. At home it is advisable to do a decoction of chamomile, calendula or sage, at least a few times a week. Chewing gum without sugar (if you don't chew most of the day) is useful: as dental floss, it helps to clean your teeth stuck pieces of food.
The health of the gums, by the way, help some products, not the best way affect the whiteness of your teeth. For example, when the inflamed gum is very useful gargle red wine because of polyphenols. Also improves gum health rinse raw beetroot juice or a decoction of its leaves.
For the best teeth whitening every six months to clean teeth by ultrasound, hygienic procedure, which also removes microcracks in teeth.
Healthy beautiful teeth is not only your business card, adds points to produce the appearance, but also your health.
