Three principles of oral health care in early summer

First: don't be greedy to sleep at night in summer. In summer, we often encounter such patients who have no abnormality before going to bed. When they wake up in the morning to wash, they suddenly feel that they can't drink water and gargle. They have some symptoms, such as angular deviation of mouth, leakage of water when drinking, inability to blow and blow, disappearance of forehead wrinkles, inability to frown, incomplete closure of upper and lower eyelids, and conjunctival exposure. This disease is called Bell's palsy, which is a simple type of peripheral facial paralysis. Bell's palsy often occurs after local cold wind or cold, which may be caused by cold nutrition facial nerve vasospasm, resulting in nerve ischemia and capillary damage, edema; edema further aggravates nerve compression and hinders the flow of lymph and blood, forming a vicious cycle, leading to facial paralysis. Therefore, in order to prevent Bell's palsy, we should prevent the face, especially the back of the ear, from being affected by the cold wind, pay attention not to sleep in the window and roof in summer night, and not to be affected by the cold wind for a long time when driving.

Second: good health habits away from halitosis, halitosis often make many patients "have suffering words", seriously affect interpersonal communication, make the patient's psychology suffer great trauma. Halitosis as a disease has attracted more and more attention of dentists and people. 85% - 90% of halitosis comes from oral cavity. Bad oral hygiene, thick and greasy tongue coating, dental caries, periodontitis, food impaction, unclean denture, smoking and so on can cause halitosis. Systemic diseases such as rhinitis, sinusitis, gastritis, gastric ulcer, diabetes, liver insufficiency and uremia are also associated with halitosis. Hot weather in summer can easily lead to lack of sleep, mental tension, fatigue, and temporary physiological halitosis. Good oral habits can cure most halitosis, cleaning the back of the tongue, brushing teeth, gargling are some effective methods. When there is chronic obstinate halitosis, we should pay attention to check whether there are other organ diseases.

Third: be careful of children in summer vacation. Children with dental trauma are a special group of oral patients. With the coming of summer vacation, some children's specific oral diseases also show a high incidence trend. During the summer vacation, due to improper diet, excessive entertainment and disordered daily life, the immunity will decline, which can lead to the attack of various oral diseases, such as caries, pulpitis, periapical periodontitis, etc. Children are lively and active, and lack of supervision and care from schools and teachers during the summer vacation, so the rate of dental trauma is greatly increased. After the occurrence of tooth trauma, no matter whether the condition is serious or not, we should immediately go to the stomatology department of the regular hospital for treatment. According to the condition, the doctor will provide corresponding treatment.

matters needing attention

If the tooth is loose obviously, fixed splint should be made to facilitate its recovery. If there is complete tooth dislocation, it should be immediately placed in a cup filled with normal saline or tap water, or the affected teeth can be placed under the tongue or in the oral vestibule of the child, and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, avoid dry storage, which can greatly improve the survival rate of tooth replantation. Generally speaking, regular follow-up visit is needed after tooth trauma to observe the vitality and therapeutic effect of dental nerve.
