How to clean up the smelly particles coming out of your mouth

Many people's mouths always secrete some small particles, and the odor is very strong and always feels smelly. In this case, you must be careful and do corresponding preventive work. Pay attention to cleaning the gaps between teeth and gums, including the surface of the tongue. Use dental floss to clean the gaps between teeth to ensure that there is no food residue in the gaps between teeth. Try to use dental floss to clean places that cannot be reached by brushing your teeth to prevent odor.

Specific method of brushing teeth--cleaning tooth surface

Brushing teeth is the most basic method of oral cleaning. Its main function is to remove and interfere with the formation of dental plaque, remove food debris and pigments on the surface of teeth, and massage the gums. The mouth is full of various bacteria. They do not "fight alone", but "group together" tightly to form a film attached to the teeth, and are always ready to attract more bacteria to join. This film is dental plaque. It is the "culprit" that causes caries, gingivitis, and periodontal disease. If it is not removed in time, it will continue to grow and mature and become hard tartar. Because dental plaque is very "tenacious" and will form again soon after being removed, you need to brush your teeth every day to remove it in time. Generally speaking, you should brush your teeth every morning and evening, for about 3 minutes each time. It should be noted that you cannot just brush the outside of the teeth, you also need to brush the inside, outside and occlusal surfaces, and it is best to brush in a certain order to avoid missing anything. In addition, the direction of brushing is also very important. You should brush along the teeth up and down instead of brushing horizontally in a sawing motion, because this can easily damage the teeth and make them sensitive.

Just as there are always some dead corners that we cannot reach when we clean the room, there are also dead corners that we cannot reach when we brush our teeth. The gaps between teeth are such "oral hygiene blind spots" that require the use of special tools to clean them, including dental floss, toothpicks, interdental brushes, etc. Dental floss is most suitable for spaces between teeth where there is no obvious gum recession. Most people, including children, can use dental floss on their deciduous teeth. The specific method is: first take a piece of dental floss about 15 to 20 cm long and tie it into a coil; then use the index finger and thumb of both hands to tighten the coil, with the two fingers about 1.0 to 1.5 cm apart, and gently pass this piece of dental floss between the two teeth. If the space between two teeth is tight and difficult to pass through, you can use a sawing motion in and out to pass through; finally, after passing through the teeth and reaching the edge of the gums, place the dental floss close to one side of the tooth surface, and wrap it around the tooth surface in a C shape, moving toward the top of the tooth to "scrape off" the plaque on the teeth. Following this method, you can remove plaque from all the teeth in your mouth, including the distal end of the last tooth. It is best to rinse your mouth with clean water after finishing. The dental floss sticks on the market today are easier to use as they no longer require wrapping the thread around your fingers and their method of use is similar to that of dental floss. You can hold the handle with one hand, pull the dental floss in and out like a saw through the teeth, place it on the gum edge, and scrape it upwards close to the tooth surface. Patients with receding gums or increased spaces between teeth can choose a toothpick or interdental brush. Toothpicks should be made of smooth, burr-free plastic, while interdental brushes are more suitable for people with receding gums. It should be noted that if the gingival papilla has not retracted and insertion is difficult, you should not force it in to avoid damaging the gums.

Rinse your mouth - remove residues . Brushing your teeth and flossing complete the basic cleaning of the oral cavity, but the maintenance of the entire oral hygiene is not limited to the teeth. It is also necessary to remove food residues in the mouth in time, and rinsing your mouth can play this auxiliary role. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a record in "Book of Rites" that "when the cock first crows, rinse your mouth with salty water", which means that you should rinse your mouth with salt water in the morning. It is best to rinse your mouth after eating sweets or meals. For patients with infections or wounds in the mouth, they can use medicated mouthwash under the guidance of a doctor, which can inhibit the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth. In addition, there are some mouthwashes on the market that can help control bad breath and keep your breath fresh. But it should be noted that whether it is clean water, light salt water, or various mouthwashes on the market, they can only play an auxiliary cleaning role. They cannot wash away dental plaque and therefore cannot replace brushing teeth.
