Adolescents

adolescents

Following oral and dental health guidelines from a young age is the best way for healthy teeth during adolescence. How teenagers can keep their teeth shiny and healthy: Brushes his teeth at least twice a day to remove plaque. A fluoride toothpaste is used to strengthen teeth. He understands the danger of plaque to the teeth as it is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease. Dental floss is used to remove plaque from between the teeth and from the gum sheaths. If the plaque is not removed daily, it will cause plaque to accumulate and therefore be lime (an ugly yellow-shaped layer that can only be removed by the dentist). Reduces the intake of sugary and starchy foods, especially viscous ones. Visit your dentist regularly at least twice a year to do scaling and remedy any health problems that may have on your teeth or gums before they worsen. It is very important for the teenager to realize the importance of keeping his teeth clean because it will help him to get shiny teeth for life and the clean mouth feels refreshed and confident to have a bright smile and a pure breath. What are the most important medical things a teenager should know: Tooth decay, infections and gum disease are particularly frequent during adolescence. Knowledge of the most important matters related to oral and dental health will enable the adolescent to take the best preventive or therapeutic solutions. Among them are:

  • 1
    Braces
    Many teenagers need to install orthodontics to repair tooth decay or sprains, as well as to coordinate the dental row on the jaws. Inconsistent teeth are difficult to clean and are more likely to lose early and also cause increased pressure on the mouth's muscles. Tests by an orthodontist help determine a teenager's need for orthodontics, and also help him determine the best way to treat him. If the doctor thinks that the adolescent needs a Braces, the adolescent here should realize that he or she should pay more attention to the cleanliness of his teeth.
  • 2
    Mouth protector or Night guard:
    If a teenager is an athlete and has a mouth protector on, he or she should be aware that a mouth protector poses a significant risk to his teeth and smile. These guards are placed on the upper teeth, designed to protect those teeth from fracture and to protect the lips from cracking. It also protects the mouth in general from any further damage to it. If you put braces or any other orthotic device (e.g. bridges) on the lower teeth, the dentist may suggest another type of mouth night guard for the lower teeth.
  • 3
    Nutrition
    Nutrition plays an important role in oral and dental health during adolescence in particular. Sugars and starches found in foods and soft drinks contribute to plaque formation, which in turn destroys tooth enamel. A teenager should reduce snacks because every-time a teenager eats this type of food or drink (containing sugars and starches), he or she exposes his teeth to a harmful plaque attack for more than 20 minutes. Eating a variety of healthy diets that include food from the five food groups will make a huge difference to the health of his teeth. For snacks, a teenager should choose healthy foods such as cheese, fresh (uncooked) fruits and vegetables, and yogurt free of additives or flavors as well.
  • 4
    Smoking
    If the teenager is a non-smoker, he or she should stay away from her and not approach her. In addition to the health damage that smoking causes to health in general, it also works to stain the teeth and yellowing the component of lime, which contributes significantly to bad breath and gum disease. The use of tobacco products and the long-term smoking of regular or wrapped cigarettes increases the risk of oral or lip cancer. If a teenager is a tobacco user, tell his dentist to do so, and be careful to tell him of any health problems he has previously experienced.
  • 5
    Eating disorders
    Bulimia or 'hunger sickness' (a condition in which the patient eats in exchange for constant vomiting) as well as 'anorexia', a condition in which the patient develops a panic or fear of being overweight in avoiding eating and usually results in constant vomiting) is a disease of eating disorders that directly affect the external appearance of the teeth because it leads to the decomposition of the tooth. While the dentist can repair the enamel that is damaged by these conditions, he will not be able to treat the nutritional disorders suffered by the patient, which is a chronic condition that requires examination by a specialist psychiatrist to help the patient regain confidence in his external appearance (for a patient with anorexia) and to help him control himself (for a patient of bulimia). If a teenager suspects that he or she has one of these diseases, he or she should see a doctor as soon as possible.
