The pleasure of eating is one of life’s great joys. This is because eating food can relieve stress and bring enjoyment.

However, no gourmet experience is complete if your teeth are not healthy.

Among the causes of tooth damage, the biggest reason can be said to be one’s own neglect in care. Let’s take a look at the proper tooth care methods for each generation and maintain healthy teeth!

Then, let’s get started~

▶ Childhood: Ages 6 to 12

Generally, the period from age 6 to 12 is defined as childhood. Experts say that tooth care during this period can have a major impact on lifelong dental health.

In particular, around age 6, careful management is needed because neglect can lead to dental diseases in adulthood. One condition to be especially careful about at this stage is cavities, also known as dental caries. These can occur due to breast milk or cow’s milk, so children should be prevented from sleeping with a bottle in their mouth.

▶ Adolescence: The period when permanent teeth are completed

During adolescence, when permanent teeth are completed, one condition that requires attention is gum disease. If the gums become inflamed due to a bacterial infection, it can damage the teeth and cause pain.

If the pain worsens, teeth may need to be extracted, so special care is necessary. Therefore, during adolescence, it is advisable to improve the oral environment by caring for the teeth with thorough brushing.

▶ Adulthood: Pay attention to stress and irregular lifestyles

Adult teeth are at a sharply higher risk of damage due to stress from school or social life, irregular routines, smoking, drinking, and other factors. Tartar can also form and cause bad breath.

If these problems are left untreated, tooth discoloration and tooth loss can occur, so it is advisable to receive regular dental checkups at least every six months if possible.

▶ Old age: Be aware of changes in the oral cavity

In old age, various changes can occur in the oral cavity. Bacterial activity in the mouth becomes more active, which can easily cause gum inflammation, periodontal disease, and digestive problems.

In addition, the rate of tooth loss increases, and many people end up using dentures. However, since dentures can cause discomfort, implant procedures that are similar to natural teeth tend to be preferred.
