Let's talk about a underated topic mouth hygiene.
First and foremost why is mouth hygiene so important ?
Your mouth has between 200-300 bacteria types.
Most of them are harmless but many of them cause all types of problems.
Such as Aphthae,cavities,tonsil stones,inflammation and many more.
Let's dive deep into each section of mouth Hygiene.
Cavities
What is a tooth cavity and how do they form ?
Cavities form when bacteria produce acid as a byproduct, sugary drink/food particles.
The acid attack's the tooth's outer layer causing it to lose mineral's.
You can spot it by a white spot on tooth- an early sing of decay.
It's a tooth decay a visible hole in the hard outer layer of tooth called enamel.
Did you know severe cavities can cause facial asymmetry ?
Through inflamation and that you unconsciously stop chewing on that side.
How to prevent cavities.
First of all if you already have a cavity you can't to anything about it.
Good dental hygiene practice to prevent cavities.
Brushing twice a day.
Daily flossing-reaches place your tooth brush can't.
I recommend visiting a dentist every 6months for check up's.
Eat balanced diet and limit sugary snack.
Mouth wash remove's leftover particles
Cavities can spread through kissing(If u are on org that doesn't include you
)
Tonsil stones
These are small lumps of hardened material that form in your tonsil's nook and crannies.
They are hardened mineral's like calcium food debris and bacteria/fungi.
What's wrong with tonsil stones ?
They're rarely harmful.
But they cause immense bad breath which repels any foid you try to approach.
Anyone can get them but you're more likely to get them if you are a teenager.
How to prevent tonsil stones/remove them.
You need a cotton swab and a flashlight.
Go infront of mirror and press your swab the back of your throat.
Small white bulbs will come out.
Prevent them by drinking 3L of water, gargle with warm saltwater after eating.
Quit smoking.
Aphthae
What are Aphthae and what causes them ?
It's a small white painful sore that appear in the mouth usually white.
The exact reason why they develop is unclear, yet there are some factors that cause them.
For example when you self bite and bacteria enters the wound.
They are easily avoidable if you don't self bite.
If you develop aphthae and don't treat it, it'll take about 2weeks do heal.
Easy way to remove them faster is by using a cheap product called bucofit solution.
Simply take a cotton swab apply bucofit and apply to to aphthae.
TL;DR
Cavities can cause asymmetrical face prevent by brushing 2times daily.Tonsil stones are clump of hardened bacteria cause bad breath prevent by salt warm water gulping after eating.
Aphthae are developed by self biting and bacteria entering wound usually white prevent by applying bucofit solution.
