Poor oral hygiene can lead to gingivitis due to the accumulation of calculus and plaque on the teeth.
The metabolism of anaerobic bacteria produces foul-smelling gas, and brushing your teeth cannot make the inflammation of the gums subside, so after brushing your teeth, bad breath will still exist. It is necessary to wash your teeth to remove calculus and plaque, rinse the gingival sulcus with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, continue to do good oral hygiene, and eliminate the inflammation of the gums, so that the bad breath will disappear.
Cavities of dental caries, food residues in tooth gaps, and bad breath caused by fermentation, simply brushing teeth cannot completely remove food residues in tooth gaps and cavities, so bad breath cannot be eliminated. In addition, inflammation of the nasopharynx and stomach problems will also produce odor, which is emitted through the mouth. This bad breath cannot be eliminated by brushing your teeth. When gingivitis occurs, you should go to the hospital for regular dentistry or stomatology for diagnosis and treatment. After improving the examination and drug treatment, the patient should follow the doctor’s advice and do not self-diagnose drug treatment, which may lead to the delay of the disease.
During gingivitis, patients should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. These behaviors may stimulate lesions and lead to a delay in inflammation, thereby affecting the improvement of inflammation. In daily life, patients should do a good job of oral cleaning and develop a good habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening; at the same time, if patients are often angry, they should also pay attention to a light diet, avoid excessive consumption of spicy and irritating foods, and prevent the recurrence of gingivitis.
Gingivitis is a very common disease in clinical practice. The main reason for patients is poor oral health maintenance, which leads to more plaque and calculus around the teeth, which stimulates inflammation of the gums. It is recommended that such patients go to the hospital for regular check-ups or cleanings every six months to one year for basic periodontal treatment. In general, mastering the correct brushing method can maintain oral hygiene.
Clinically, pasteurization is usually recommended, which is a soft-bristled toothbrush with the bristles pointed at the gums, at a 45-degree angle to the teeth, and with the teeth slightly floating. It is recommended to brush 5 to 10 times per tooth. You should make sure to take about 3 minutes each time you brush your teeth. Good oral hygiene will be maintained if you brush your teeth effectively twice a day. Then go to the hospital for regular checkups every six months, which will keep your gum inflammation under control.
