[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Most silver-haired people wear dentures or implants due to loose teeth. Physicians remind that even if you use denture cleaning tablets or the whole mouth is dentures, you must still maintain a good tooth brushing habit, otherwise it is easy to recede the gums. Make dentures loose.

In addition, denture adhesives cannot be used on fixed dentures such as braces, bridges, and implants, nor can other adhesives and fillings be used on dentures.

Missing teeth are prone to receding gums. Oral cleaning is very important.

Physician Wang Shengyao of Lelin Dental Clinic posted on the Facebook fan page "All on 4 Finding a Delicious Life-Professional Dentist Wang Shengyao" that many patients may think that they have denture cleaning tablets, so they don't need to brush their teeth, resulting in dentures that often loosen and need repairs.

He pointed out that this is because missing teeth can cause gum recession, and if you want to slow down the recession, you must do a good job of oral hygiene.

Wang Shengyao explained that denture cleaning tablets can only clean dentures. Many patients with removable dentures do not know that gums should also be cleaned.

Brushing your teeth is not just about brushing your teeth, but also pay attention to the junction between the teeth and the gums, which is where periodontal disease is prone to occur. Even if there are no teeth, the dirt and bacteria in the mouth will still cause periodontal inflammation and accelerate gingival recession, allowing adjustment The frequency of dentures is increasing.

Wang Shengyao suggested that even if there is no tooth in the mouth, you still need to brush your teeth. Toothless patients can use "sponge toothbrush" to slowly clean the bacteria, and do a good job of oral hygiene to avoid periodontal disease.

In addition to avoiding periodontal disease and receding gums, maintaining oral health in older patients can also help control high blood pressure, diabetes or other chronic diseases, so brushing your teeth must not be sloppy.

It is safest to use denture adhesives indiscriminately and follow the doctor's instructions

In addition, Wang Shengyao explained that most of the denture adhesives sold on the market are substances that assist movable dentures, and do not really have the adhesive function, nor are they suitable for fixed dentures (braces, bridges, implants).

If you accidentally drop it and try to restore it with denture adhesives, even non-dental adhesives, it is likely to cause red, swollen, inflamed or bleeding gums.

He emphasized that do not use adhesives and dental fillings bought online on dentures. Not only can they not be fixed, but the probability of loosening is also high. Unapproved drugs are more likely to cause complications, such as periodontal disease and implants. Wait around.

If you encounter dental problems, it is recommended to consult your doctor directly.
