Practicing proper dental hygiene while undergoing therapy is crucial for your well-being and treatment outcomes. Whether you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, chemotherapy, or healing post-procedure, your mouth needs extra attention.
Start by brushing your teeth at least twice a day with a soft bristled toothbrush and 東京 前歯矯正 therapeutic fluoride gel. Use light pressure, especially if your tissues are inflamed, and ensure thorough coverage of every tooth surface—particularly the rear teeth.
Daily flossing is non-negotiable to eliminate trapped debris and biofilm that brushing alone can miss. If flossing feels cumbersome, consider using a oral irrigator.
Use an alcohol-free oral rinse to alleviate discomfort while minimizing microbial load without compromising moisture levels.
Steer clear of sweets and sugary beverages, which can worsen oral complications during therapy. Instead, choose water, milk, or sugar free options.
If you have dental hardware like retainers or clear aligners, follow your provider’s instructions carefully for maintenance and hygiene.
Respect your preventive care schedule, even if you aren’t experiencing pain. Your hygienist and dentist can spot problems early and adjust your care plan as needed.
Drink plenty of fluids, as reduced saliva heightens vulnerability to oral disease. If your treatment causes dry mouth, chew sugar free gum to stimulate saliva flow.
Finally, talk to your doctor or dentist about any changes you notice in your mouth, such as sores, bleeding, or pain. They can provide personalized strategies to enhance comfort.
Good oral habits during treatment may seem small, but they make a big difference in your recovery and long term health.
