Top 10 solutions: 1. Brushing teeth. 99% of people in China brush their teeth, but less than 1% do it correctly. You can learn the doctor-level brushing techniques now: use a soft-bristled dental brush. The brush head is small, the bristles have a moderate hardness, and they are arranged at an appropriate density. Use fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride can enhance the resistance of teeth to corrosion, as well as inhibit the reproduction and growth of bacteria. 3 minutes, 3 months. Brush in the morning and evening, 3 minutes each time. After brushing your teeth, turn the toothbrush head upside down. Replace it every 3 months. 45-degree angle, trembling. The correct way to brush teeth is to place the toothbrush at the junction of the teeth and gums, with the bristles pointing toward the roots at a 45-degree angle to the tooth surface. Horizontal vibration in place, then brush vertically along the gaps between teeth. 150 grams. The toothbrush should not be too heavy; the force required to use it is around 150 grams, roughly the weight of an orange. 2. Dental floss: While brushing teeth primarily addresses the cleaning of the tooth surface, dental floss is recommended for removing food debris that gets stuck in the gaps between teeth, especially for those with narrow tooth gaps. 3. For bad breath, go to the periodontology department. There are 500 types of bacteria in the human mouth; even those who maintain good oral hygiene still have 50 billion bacteria. Rough tartar is an ideal environment for bacteria to grow, and the best way to eliminate bad breath is by getting dental cleanings, once every six months. 4. Xylitol gum: Chewing gum continuously in the mouth stimulates saliva production. Meanwhile, the friction of the gum against the teeth helps to clean them, thereby aiding in the prevention of tooth decay and periodontal disease. The sweetness of chewing gum can enhance the pleasure of chewing and also temporarily mask unpleasant odors in the mouth. Sugar is a major factor that causes tooth decay, while xylitol, which replaces sucrose, is an intermediate product of glucose metabolism; bacteria cannot utilize it and are instead inhibited by it. FAO and WHO have always considered it a safe sweetener. 5. Drinking tea: Tea is rich in fluorides; just one liter of black tea can provide the body with about 2 milligrams of fluoride, which accounts for 50% of the amount needed per day. Oolong tea and green tea are superior to black tea, especially as the newly picked ones have a higher fluoride content. Tea also contains polyphenolic compounds, which can prevent starch from being converted into glucose in the mouth; glucose is precisely what causes bacteria in plaque to grow and produce acidic substances. Among them, green tea has the highest polyphenol content. 6. Cavities – go to the dentistry department. Cavities are the most common dental disease. It is a cavity caused by the demineralization of the hard tissue of the teeth, resulting from the acidic substances produced by bacteria. If your teeth don’t hurt at all, it means the lesion is still some distance away from the nerve. Although there’s no need to go to the hospital right away, this lesion won’t resolve on its own; eventually it will reach the nerve. So, the only solution is to go to the dentist to have a filling done. If the lesion is severe and affects the pulp, root canal treatment is necessary to kill the nerves, remove the inflamed pulp, and fill the space with medication. Although it won’t hurt anymore, due to the lack of nerve supply, this tooth may turn discolored and black in the future. 7. For gum bleeding, consult a periodontist. The most common cause of gum bleeding is periodontal disease. Bacteria invade periodontal tissues such as the gums, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone; mild cases are known as periodontitis. The most fundamental treatment is to completely remove the pathogenic plaque and tartar, which is usually achieved through teeth cleaning. If early gingival inflammation is not treated promptly, it often progresses to periodontitis. Under stimuli such as brushing teeth or chewing, gum bleeding usually stops on its own, but periodontal disease does not heal on its own. At this point, simple cleaning alone cannot solve all problems; special instruments are needed to remove the tartar attached to the surface of the tooth roots, which is known as subgingival scaling. 8. Wisdom teeth – go to the oral surgery department. Look in a mirror to see if there is an eighth tooth in each of the upper, lower, left, and right sides, measured from the midline Do I look good? Is it right? Does it often become inflamed and painful? Whether there is an eighth tooth or not, please have the doctor check it. If you were born without teeth, you should be grateful. Because it supports the areas in the mouth that are most difficult to clean, residual food particles can easily be utilized by bacteria, leading to chronic infections; the second molar next to it can also be affected. Especially when the body is weak and fatigued, or during severe illnesses, acute inflammation caused by bacteria can lead to redness, swelling, and severe pain in the affected area; it can also cause difficulties in opening the mouth and swallowing, as well as fever and systemic symptoms. 9. For missing teeth, go to the restoration department. To create a natural-looking result, you can try porcelain crowns; these crowns have a metal base with a layer of porcelain powder applied over it. After being fused at high temperature in a vacuum environment, they appear just like real teeth. All-ceramic teeth have a more realistic color and shape, appearing very natural, and their hardness can rival that of metal. All-ceramic teeth are the highest-quality dental restorations available worldwide, and of course their price is very high as well. If you don’t want to use hooks nor have your healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth polished, dental implants offer a good cost-benefit ratio. All that’s needed is to implant a titanium alloy implant, similar to a tooth root, into the jawbone where the tooth is missing; a crown can then be fitted over this implant. Its function and appearance are almost identical to those of natural teeth, and it’s also much cheaper than all-ceramic teeth. 10. Teeth whitening – Department of Physical Therapy: The cold-light whitening technique has become the most popular method worldwide due to its short treatment time, as well as its scientific validity and safety. Its principle is that it is a whitening agent based on silica as the main ingredient, which undergoes redox reactions with the pigments deep within the teeth, thereby restoring their whiteness. The effect can generally last for more than two years. Note: Avoid hot and cold drinks within 24 hours after treatment ； Do not drink beverages such as tea, coffee, cola, red wine, strawberries, etc ； Avoid using colored toothpaste and mouthwash, as well as dark-colored foods; do not smoke.

Every time you brush your teeth, apply a little salt to the toothpaste on the brush. Keep doing this for several months; after a few years, you will find that you experience less tooth pain. . .
