老年人护齿的几个误区
Several Misunderstandings of Teeth Protection for the Elderly
误区一：老人牙齿松动脱落是自然现象
Myth 1: Loose and detached teeth in elderly people are a natural phenomenon
造成牙齿松动脱落的主要原因其实是“牙周病”，患牙周病时牙槽骨会发生吸收。牙槽骨吸收是一个慢性进行性的过程，这个过程中除了偶尔有肿胀和不适感，大部分时候无特别感觉，很容易被忽略。
The main cause of tooth loosening and detachment is actually "periodontal disease", where the alveolar bone undergoes absorption. Alveolar bone resorption is a chronic and progressive process, in which there is occasional swelling and discomfort, and most of the time there is no special sensation, which is easily overlooked.
如果不及时治疗，当牙根周围的牙槽骨减少到一定程度时，牙齿就会出现松动，牙周病发展到*后就是牙齿脱落。所以牙齿松动脱落主要是疾病造成的。
If not treated in a timely manner, when the alveolar bone around the root of the tooth decreases to a certain extent, teeth will become loose, and periodontal disease will develop to a point where teeth fall off. So tooth looseness and detachment are mainly caused by diseases.
虽然随着年龄增长，牙龈会有增龄性萎缩，牙槽骨会出现不同程度的骨质疏松，但这些变化带来的影响较小，无法与牙周病造成的破坏相比。因此，若能够预防牙周病的发生或及时治疗牙周病，高寿的老人仍可保留一口健康的牙齿。
Although with age, gingival atrophy and varying degrees of osteoporosis may occur in the alveolar bone, the impact of these changes is relatively small and cannot be compared to the damage caused by periodontal disease. Therefore, if periodontal disease can be prevented or treated in a timely manner, elderly people can still maintain a healthy mouth of teeth.
误区二：掉一两颗牙，不必急着补
Myth 2: If one or two teeth are lost, there is no need to rush to repair them
有些老年人认为，年纪大了，缺几颗牙是正常的事。缺了牙，怕麻烦、花钱多，不想镶假牙或种牙，就让牙齿一直空缺。
Some elderly people believe that it is normal for them to lose a few teeth as they get older. Missing teeth, afraid of trouble and spending too much money, doesn't want to have dentures or implants, just keeps the teeth empty.
但其实这样会产生很多弊端：*，降低了咀嚼效率，影响消化和营养吸收；第二，随着时间推移，牙齿的排列会因为缺牙而发生改变，原本缺牙的空位逐渐变小，上下的咬合关系也会改变，使咀嚼效率进一步降低，若此时才进行镶牙会受影响；第三，由于牙齿长期“将就”使用，两侧的颞颌关节负担增加，可导致颞颌关节紊乱症，出现关节弹响、张口受限等症状。
But in fact, this can have many drawbacks: *, it reduces chewing efficiency, affects digestion and nutrient absorption; Secondly, as time goes on, the arrangement of teeth will change due to missing teeth. The original vacancy of missing teeth will gradually decrease, and the occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth will also change, further reducing chewing efficiency. If teeth are inserted at this time, it will be affected; Thirdly, due to long-term "accommodating" use of teeth, the burden on both temporomandibular joints increases, which can lead to temporomandibular joint disorder and symptoms such as joint popping and restricted mouth opening.
误区三：日常清洁只刷牙就可以
Myth 3: Daily cleaning can only be done by brushing teeth
现在大部分人已经形成刷牙的习惯，但刷牙不等于能刷好牙。正确的刷牙是在牙膏的辅助配合之下，刷毛机械清理软垢和菌斑的过程，需要刷到每一个位置，包括牙龈边缘。建议刷牙时使用含氟牙膏，牙刷是软毛头小，有利于其在口腔内灵活使用。
Nowadays, most people have formed the habit of brushing their teeth, but brushing their teeth does not mean they can brush their teeth well. The correct brushing of teeth is the process of mechanically cleaning soft dirt and plaque with the help of toothpaste, which requires brushing to every position, including the gum edge. It is recommended to use fluoride toothpaste when brushing teeth. The toothbrush is soft and has a small bristle, which is beneficial for its flexible use in the oral cavity.
老年人大多有不同程度的州苗木 保定通风管道 丝网立柱模具 尼龙输送带 保定空压机 高碑店养老院牙周问题，牙龈退缩后的牙间隙很大，普通牙刷难以进入清洁，因此需要配合使用牙缝刷清理。另外，牙线也是清理牙齿邻面接触区的工具，但老年人的使用率极低，建议老年人学会使用，以免牙齿形成邻面龋。
Most elderly people have varying degrees of periodontal problems, and the gap between teeth after gingival recession is large, making it difficult for regular toothbrushes to enter and clean. Therefore, it is necessary to use a toothbrush to clean the gaps. In addition, dental floss is also a tool for cleaning the adjacent contact area of teeth, but the usage rate is extremely low for the elderly. It is recommended that the elderly learn to use it to avoid adjacent caries of teeth.
