The oral hygiene is a whole of practices making it possible to eliminate the Dental plaque which is formed naturally and permanently on the surface of the teeth.
The elimination of the Dental plaque makes it possible to avoid the diseases parodontales. Indeed, the Bactérie S are responsible for an irritation of the gums (Gingivite), which become red, inflated, and bleed easily with brushing. This situation is likely to degenerate into Parodontite involving the appearance of mobility then the loss of the teeth.
Good number of bacteria present in the dental plaque transform the Sucre S (sugar refineries but also chips, cookies,…) in Lactic acid. The action of this acid on the dental enamel will lead to a demineralization of the tooth and the appearance of a cavity. It is the decays. Each meal is potentially cariogene. Fortunately, the value buffer of the Salive makes it possible to bring back the acidity of the mouth (pH) to neutrality. However, in the mouth of a person eating constantly, acidity will remain important. The risk of appearance of decay will be some thus strongly increased.
The tartar, which is mineral-bearing dental plaque, cannot be eliminated by simple brushing any more, and must be removed at the Dentiste by a Détartrage.
Means
-
Brush with teeth : Possibly brush with teeth electric in the event of difficulties to carry out the movements necessary (circular standard with rotary movement quarter of alternate turn).
- fluorinated Toothpaste . Quantity and the fluorine concentration must be adapted to the age. The fluorine was a big factor of reduction of the decays during its introduction into the toothpastes. The toothpaste of the adult will contain at least 1.000 p.p.m fluorinated salt.
- Dental floss , brossettes interdental , interdental sticks (according to the possibilities): to clean the side face of the teeth ( zone inter-proximale ), that the brush with teeth cannot reach. Everyone can pass the dental floss. When space between the two teeth is sufficiently broad, one can then pass from the brossettes.
Complementary means
- the baths of mouth disinfectants will be advised when brushing must be suspended (traumatism, surgery, chemotherapy,…).
Frequency
Dental hygiene must be applied daily. The moment imports little. It is a question of driving out a maximum quantity of the colonies of bacteria every 24 hours. The sequence of work comprises initially interdental cleaning and then brushing. To speak about duration does not have a direction. By holding the brush vertically, one will complete a work " tooth by dent". The children, one will ask to count the teeth. Work is finished when it is made on the last face of the last tooth and not when a timer sounds!
