Dental Care: How to Keep Your Teeth Healthy for 100 Years 🦷🪥✨

Hello, this is Balance Lab, which curates the optimal balance for beauty ✨

One of the five blessings in life is your teeth 🤍

If your teeth are strong and straight, people say that is a blessing you are born with.

If you take good care of them on a regular basis, you can protect your oral health.

 Both men and women of all ages tend to be afraid of dental treatment.

When you are young, pain is scary, and when you become an adult, the cost becomes scary.

 Today, let’s take a look at how to protect your dental health 👆

Is this the right way to brush your teeth?

🪥

The golden time for brushing is within 3 minutes after finishing a meal! If you have had a carbonated drink, it is better to brush after 30 minutes to 1 hour.

If you brush right after drinking a carbonated beverage, the acid in the drink and the abrasive ingredients in toothpaste can meet and damage your teeth and gums.

If you have had a carbonated drink, the correct method is to rinse with mouthwash before brushing to remove the acidity!

In particular, brushing before bed is essential. When brushing, it is good to clean the teeth in an up-and-down direction and also brush the gums together as if massaging them, not just the teeth.

Follow this schedule for regular dental checkups!

Even if you do not have tooth pain or any other symptoms, it is recommended to get a checkup once every 1 or 2 years.

Although the mouth is one of our major organs, it is an area people often neglect.

By the time you visit the dentist after tooth pain develops, many dental conditions have already progressed significantly.

In such cases, expensive treatments such as root canal treatment or implants may be needed 👆

To prevent this, it is recommended to get an oral examination in advance when there is no problem with your teeth.

Let’s do a self-check for oral diseases!👆 If any of the following apply, treatment for an oral disease is needed.

Dental caries

✅ Severe tooth pain.

✅ No tooth pain, but the tooth color turns dark and pimples sometimes appear on the gums.

✅ Bad breath is severe.

✅ Teeth hurt or feel sensitive when eating hot or cold foods.

✅ Food often gets stuck in the teeth while eating.

✅ There are no teeth that feel painful, but the overall color of the teeth is not white or ivory, and the grooves on the chewing surface have turned dark or have holes.

How many minutes should you gargle for?👆

The instructions and dosage for oral gargles vary by product, but the recommended usage time is usually about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

For adults, it is good to do it once or twice a day, and for the dosage, keep 10 to 15 ml in your mouth, follow the recommended time, then spit it out after gargling.

What is the proper way to use dental floss?👆

For thorough oral care,

using dental floss is essential.

Keep about 3 to 5 cm of floss taut between your fingers and use your index fingers to apply the floss to the contact surfaces between teeth.

Gently clean between the teeth in a zigzag motion.

Use dental floss with moderate pressure, without applying excessive force.

Bleeding gums mean the gums are weakened, so it is good to use dental floss often to maintain gum health.
