How to prevent "dental caries"?

Keep your mouth clean and control the growth of bacteria. Unclean oral cavity is fertile ground for bacteria growth, so oral hygiene is one of the main measures to prevent dental caries. Sticking to brushing teeth after three meals a day can effectively reduce and control the growth of bacteria. Teenagers should not eat snacks before going to bed, especially sweets, so as to avoid the sugar sticking to their teeth from fermenting and corroding and damaging their teeth.

Strengthen the exercise of teeth and improve the ability of caries prevention. Propolis has good antibacterial activity, and mouthwash containing propolis has a good inhibitory effect on dental plaque and a good effect on the prevention and treatment of dental caries. The research shows that adding 2.5% Brazilian red propolis to dental care coating can effectively inhibit Streptococcus mutans and prevent dental caries.

Change diet structure and control sugar intake. Food is becoming more and more exquisite, and the sugar content is getting higher and higher, such as chocolate, toffee and exquisite cake. These soft and sticky foods stick to the surface of teeth and provide enough food for cariogenic bacteria, so the intake of such foods should be limited as much as possible.
