Dental health for everyone
Why did a problem arise that was so severe it caused pain and required dental treatment?
Have you ever thought about the root cause of your dental treatment? Surprisingly, some of you may have had the experience of hearing about the treatment method from your dentist, but not the reason why it happened.
If you don't find the root cause of the problem and solve it, the same problem will come back again after months or years.
Many oral problems are caused by "oral bacteria." By thoroughly controlling these bacteria, many dental problems can be avoided. And if you establish lifestyle habits that prevent disease, new problems will naturally become less likely to appear. The key to preventing dental disease is to realize as early as possible that there is a world of difference between taking this approach and not.
At our clinic, we want to think together with patients about where the root cause lies, and then provide the treatment and expert advice necessary for improvement. Medical professionals and patients need to face the same direction and move forward together.
Habits start from childhood
The most important thing to do to remove bacteria from your mouth is to brush your teeth . Brushing your teeth is an essential daily activity that you should incorporate into your daily routine.
Humans are creatures that learn, but it is very difficult to make things a habit. There are many things that we understand intellectually but find it difficult to take action.
Children are best at making tooth brushing a fun routine. By acquiring the habit and technique of brushing their teeth from an early age , they will naturally develop the habit of protecting their own oral health.
The benefits of a regular tooth brushing habit can be expected to continue for a lifetime. By continuing to take care of your mouth yourself, you can improve your oral environment every day to prevent tooth grinding as much as possible.
The earlier the better, but you can start forming dental habits at any age. You can change your habits even as an adult. The moment you start thinking about your oral health is the chance to start.
Learn how to brush your teeth at the dentist
How to brush your teeth is not taught at school or cram school. Even though it is an issue that directly affects your lifestyle and health, there are very few opportunities in Japan to learn how to brush your teeth.
Unfortunately, even dental clinics have little time to properly teach patients how to brush their teeth.
"Please brush your back teeth well."
"Please use interdental brushes and floss as well."
There may be many explanations like this, but specifically
"How do you brush your back teeth?"
How do I use interdental brushes and floss?
Such advice is missing.
Tooth brushing is a very complex subject that requires knowledge and skill. Dental clinics are supposed to be there to teach this to patients, but in health insurance treatment, it is unavoidable that treatment procedures such as grinding teeth and removing tartar take priority, and they are unable to devote time to teaching patients about tooth brushing, which is what they should be teaching them most.
It may take time to improve your brushing skills, and it may take some hard work, but it's all for the benefit of your future health .
Learning to do something for the first time is difficult for anyone. In order to be able to ride a bicycle, you probably practice using various methods, such as wearing training wheels or having someone help you push from behind.
The same goes for brushing your teeth. It takes a lot of ingenuity to acquire the correct knowledge and skills. We, dental professionals, would like to work together with you to support these efforts.
Because everyone's mouth is different, we would like to suggest a method of brushing your teeth that is best suited to you.
