Human body
The human body contains many parts that complement each other, and if they stop working, there is an imbalance in the human life balance, and he lives his life with difficulty, and his life becomes abnormal; as every part of the human body has an important function that it performs, and it is not possible to find any alternative that performs these precise tasks that God created in the best creation, and in order for these parts to continue to work properly, the human must have an important role in that, by preserving himself, and following the instructions and guidelines that aim to maintain his health and the functioning of his body parts as they should.
There are many bad habits that people usually follow, and they do not know that these habits are destructive to many parts of the body in the long run. Therefore, many diseases appear suddenly, and this is the result of the accumulations that have occurred over months or perhaps years of following bad habits, which causes toxins to accumulate in the human body, and causes chronic diseases that are not easy to cure.
The importance of teeth
One of the important parts of the human body is the teeth; as they are the only part that performs the process of cutting, grinding and chewing foods so that they are easy to swallow, and facilitates the task of the stomach to digest food. Teeth are very important in pronunciation; they help in making the letters come out in the correct and understandable way. Therefore, we find it difficult for those who do not have teeth to pronounce some letters, and not fully understand their speech; due to the difficulty of pronouncing some words. We will not forget the beauty that teeth add to the human face, and the secret of the beauty of the smile lies in the teeth.
Dental problems
We must preserve our teeth as much as possible, take adequate care of them, and keep them away from diseases that affect them. Therefore, we must be fully aware of the methods of preserving teeth, the types of diseases that affect them, and their symptoms in an attempt to avoid them.
One of the most common dental problems is tooth decay, which affects teeth at all ages, especially children. There are many factors that cause tooth decay, namely bacteria or what is scientifically known as (soft deposits); these deposits result from food residues that get stuck between the teeth during the chewing process, such as sugars and starches. The important factor for the formation of these bacteria is leaving the teeth for long periods without cleaning or care.
The way tooth decay occurs is as follows: It begins with the accumulation of bacteria, and a layer is formed, and with the presence of saliva it sticks to the teeth, and when eating foods that contain carbohydrates, the bacteria have the ability to convert these substances into acids, and they secrete them on the teeth to dissolve the solid part of them, and the first tooth decay processes begin, and this leads to the appearance of cavities in the teeth; due to the strength of the acids that work to dissolve the layers of the teeth one after the other.
The second most common cause of tooth decay is gingivitis. The gums are the tissue that surrounds and covers the teeth. Gingivitis occurs due to the accumulation of bacteria, which leads to swelling and redness, and sometimes slight bleeding when using a toothbrush. It is noted that the main cause of tooth decay and gingivitis is bacteria, but that is not all.
There are other factors that are important for the weakness of the structure that the teeth should have, which is eating food that is deficient in essential elements such as calcium. This is clearly evident in children who are in the stage of tooth formation, and there are no essential elements in their food, so the structure of the teeth will be weak, and it will cause them to decay and break easily.
When talking about the elderly, the most common habit that causes a lot of deformity and destruction to the teeth is smoking. Many studies have proven that smoking leads to inflammation of the tissues supporting the teeth, and the erosion of their layers due to the high temperature of the mouth caused by smoking, not to mention the bad appearance that smokers have, as the color of the teeth changes from bright white to dark colors, and smoking makes the smile ugly.
Tips and advice for maintaining teeth
There are many ways that any person should follow to protect his teeth from diseases, and this is not difficult, as the matter is very easy, and it only needs to get used to it, nothing more, and the most important thing is to visit the dentist even once a year; so that you can benefit from the advice that he will give you, and know the condition of your teeth, and protect yourself from problems that may be in their beginning, and the dentist discovers them and tells you about them.
- Start using toothpaste, this will be determined by your dentist, and he will advise you on the toothpaste that is suitable for the nature of your teeth, and also use a soft brush to remove acids that cause tooth erosion, and reach all places, especially the small openings that are between the teeth, and it is recommended that you change the brush every three months, and get used to using the brush and toothpaste three times a day, and preferably after every meal you eat; to avoid giving the opportunity for acids and bacteria to form.
- Eat foods that strengthen teeth, and stay away from acidic foods, or reduce them as much as possible; to avoid cavities and dental problems, and get used to eating vegetables and fruits, as they are very beneficial, and help strengthen teeth and gums, and resist bacteria, also reduce eating sweets as much as possible, especially chocolate; because it sticks to the teeth, and makes the opportunity for cavities available faster than other foods, and if you want to strengthen your teeth, and increase their hardness, you should eat foods or drinks that contain calcium such as milk and its derivatives, as all of these contain large amounts of calcium that are very beneficial not only for the teeth, but for the entire human body structure.
- If you suffer from crooked teeth, you should quickly go to the dentist to find a solution for you, as crooked and crooked teeth help bacteria to form, even if you use a brush, it is difficult for the brush to reach difficult places due to the overlapping of teeth, so you must adjust it in the way available to dentists, and then use the brush and toothpaste to ensure that you have full access to all areas of the jaw from the inside and outside.
- The last piece of advice is for those who have children. There are many things that must be paid attention to when dealing with children. It must be known that they are in a physical building stage that requires support, attention and assistance. Children are the most vulnerable to tooth and gum decay, or to their extraction and breakage. Therefore, the child must be given appropriate amounts of calcium, which makes the teeth strong, solid and resistant to decay.
We must pay attention to what the child eats, and try to prevent sweets and sugars, which most children eat, and cause them many problems, and replace them with fruits and vegetables that are very beneficial to them in building their bodies with a strong and solid structure. On the other hand, we must accustom our children to take care of themselves, and to use a brush and toothpaste to clean their teeth daily under our supervision, and teach them the correct way to clean, and always remember that education at a young age is like engraving in stone, so what you teach your child when he is young will continue in him until he grows up, so we must accustom our children to everything that is correct, sound and beneficial for their health, and learn the correct way to deal with cases of tooth injury such as losing them as a result of a specific accident.
