Answer 9

Dentists say that the most important part of tooth care happens at home. Brushing and flossing properly, along with regular dental checkups, can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

If you're like most people, you don't exactly look forward to facing a dentist's drill. So wouldn't it be better to prevent cavities before they begin?

If you don't brush your teeth, what happens:

Many of us go for years without seeing a dentist and / or periodontist and can get away with it. Others aren't so lucky and develop expensive problems; literally putting their money where their mouth is.

For those of you with no idea as to the concept of gum disease and losing your teeth, allow me to clue you in on simple terms. Plaque (which is that sticky whitish/yellow stuff that builds up on your teeth) gets under the gum line/tissue around the teeth. The gum pulls away from the teeth. As the gum pulls away, more plaque gets in there, making more dangerous bacteria and the gum tissue gets diseased. If it gets bad enough the gum tissue has to be surgically trimmed off. If it is infected for a prolonged period of time and is not removed, eventually, the gingivitis infection allows even more harmful bacteria to get in between the gums and the teeth. The result is tooth loss.

Good nutrition is one of the major keystones to having healthy teeth and gums, as well as proper oral hygiene. Again, some of us may need to be more diligent than others in this regard.

Recent studies have shown that the bacteria in plaque, that develops on our teeth is actually bad for us internally and can cause other health problems, besides gingivitis and other periodontal complications.

Procedures you can do to help aid in the the health of your teeth and gums are, brushing and flossing your teeth at least once per day. Brushing your tongue as if you don't clean your tongue, all the stuff remaining on your tongue ends up back on your teeth. Obviously, you don't brush your tongue the same way you brush your teeth, but stroking the brush bristles over your tongue really helps to clean your mouth of plaque deposits. When you floss your teeth and brush your tongue, you'll find less plaque build up on your teeth during the day. When flossing your teeth, you should go around the entiire tooth with the floss, not just on the sides. This can take some hand acrobatics inside your mouth, but it is worth it. Also, brushing your gums daily helps a lot too, by exercising the gums-keeping the gums in shape.

Rinsing your mouth 2, 3 times per day with diluted anti-gingivitis mouthwash, 50 % mouthwash to 50 % water, to neutralize the acid balance in your mouth. Full strength mouthwashes might burn your gum tissue and tongue.

I have heard arguments regarding this. A woman in her 60's told me that she rinses her mouth 2-3 times per day (not just at brushing times) with the gold, nasty tasting, Listerine, and she hasn't gotten a gum infection in 7 years. She doesn't care if it burns her mouth as long as she has no gum infections.

Older people or people with respiratory problems who breathe from their mouth or who use inhalers which can dry gum tissues, tend to have dry mouth which also makes your gums receed more.

If you think one of your teeth has movement, do not wobble it. Don't play with it manually or push your tongue or lips up against it constantly, or jut your jaw against it. Why advance it's stages before it's time?

Depending on how your teeth are spaced, may determine what type of floss you use. If you have tightly spaced teeth, you'll probaby want to use regular, waxed floss. If you have some space between your teeth; you'll be able to use flossing tape. Everyone has a preference. Some people insist that they have better results from flossing tape, where flossing tape may make others' gums sore. There's unwaxed floss, floss in a variety of flavors (peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon. etc.), as well as a soft flossing string with some elasticity. You can floss using your hands, or attach the floss to a small, plastic apartus to help you get inside your mouth.

A regular dentist isn't going to be as good at diagnosing your gum problem as a periodontist. You may have periodontal pockets and gum disease that your regular dentist cannot see.

Varied periodontists advise everyone diffferently as far as flossing goes. Some say that if you floss roughly and push up as high as you can go that you can cause more damage to your gums and traumatize them; making them receed more. Other periodontists tell you to floss up as high as you can go. Maybe what they mean is to floss up high under the gumline, but don't be rough on your gums.

The majority of people say you are nasty but it is common for people to neglect their teeth.

You not taking care of your teeth does not make you a bad person. This site is where you ask questions to get advice and not be judged! =]
