1. Why is summer a period of high incidence of oral diseases? This is because the weather is hot in summer, and most people like to eat cold food. Foods or drinks with a temperature lower than 10°C will stimulate the teeth, and the teeth with symptoms such as cracked teeth, wedge-shaped defects, and caries will become more obvious, resulting in different degrees of sensitivity and even pain in the teeth. At the same time, with the rising temperature in summer, people’s mood will also become restless, which will lead to changes in diet structure and increase in the phenomenon of staying up late. These changes will lead to a decline in human immunity. In addition, in the summer, the reproduction of various bacteria accelerates, and the flora in the oral cavity increases significantly, and oral problems also appear.
2. What oral diseases are prone to occur in summer? Summer is the high incidence period of oral diseases. The most common oral problems are: oral ulcers, caries, tooth sensitivity, gingivitis, bleeding gums, wedge-shaped defects, pulpitis, and pericoronitis of wisdom teeth.
3. In summer, why are teeth more afraid of cold? Teeth are afraid of cold because of dentin sensitivity, also known as dentin hypersensitivity, which means that teeth are subjected to external stimuli such as: temperature (cold, hot), chemical substances (sour, sweet) ) and mechanical action (rubbing, biting hard objects), etc. It has a rapid onset, severe pain, and short duration. It is a common symptom of various dental diseases.
4. What should I do if I have a toothache when I touch a cold drink? When this happens, we first need to determine the cause. If the integrity of tooth enamel is damaged due to tooth wear and tear, dentin is exposed, and symptoms of tooth sensitivity are caused. For mild patients, desensitization treatment can be performed. For patients with cracked and severely exposed dentin, crown restorations can address sensitive issues while better protecting the teeth and reducing the risk of tooth cracking.
5. How to prevent various oral diseases in summer? The prevention of oral diseases can be divided into three levels:
The first layer: This is the most basic prevention, simply put, it is disease-free prevention. Including learning oral health knowledge and establishing healthy living habits, such as: keep your mouth clean, try to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth after meals; maintain a correct and balanced eating habit; do not develop the habit of chewing on one side, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups to prevent Occurrence of oral diseases.
Tier 2: This is early diagnosis and treatment to deal with and control the disease at an early stage.
The third layer: its essence is treatment and rehabilitation. When the disease occurs, timely and effective treatment and control are carried out to prevent complications, repair defects and restore functions. All in all, in summer, we will involve more cold, hot, sour, sweet and even spicy and spicy stimuli, which will affect the health of our teeth. We need to consciously control ourselves and eat less cold drinks, barbecue, hot pot, crayfish…. ..
