The Christmas and year old holidays have a marked festive character materialized around a table.Family gatherings, company dinners and reunions with friends who occur totally habitual routines.And not only of schedules and activities.Also something as elementary as hygiene is affected, specifically that referred to the oral.

That, in the end, also goes to our health.Nougat, mazapanes, wine, cava...They are just some of the whims that we give ourselves during these parties.With moderation and good hygiene they do not have to suppose a problem for our mouth, but it is easy to neglect once immersed in Christmas dynamics.Eating away from home more times than usual or chopping at loose times of a caprices of caprices is often easy to skip the rear tooth brushing.

two.Sarrre: Bacteria are mixed with food and create the bacterial plaque.If the plate is not eliminated and hard.

3.Spots: yellowish teeth do not necessarily imply that there is a problem;It is likely that the color is due to the usual intake of some food that stains the teeth, which translates into a less white smile.

4.Damage and fractures: nougat and seafood are present at all tables at this time, although their hardness makes care with them.Try to open seafood legs with teeth or bite hard nougat with great force can create microfractures, as well as damage orthodontics and prostheses.

5.Dental sensitivity: it is an acute and penetrating pain caused by the exposure of dentin, the tissue that is just below the enamel.In certain areas, the enamel is scarce or can disappear, so external stimuli (cold, sweet or acid) produce that annoying sensation of pain in the exposed tooth.

6.Halitosis: There are different causes that cause halitosis, although the most frequent are inappropriate hygiene and the consumption of certain foods, such as garlic or onion.In the case of lack of hygiene, bad breath is produced by the accumulation of bacteria, which arise in the remains of food that have remained in the mouth and teeth.

Tips to avoid as much as possible

To avoid these possible problems at this time, experts advise simple guidelines to follow these days and continue the rest of the year as a purpose.

1.Wash your teeth at least twice a day: the ideal is brushing three times a day, one after each meal.The festive relax and out -of -home exits usually make us forget.A small travel brush kit and pasta minitubo occupy little space and make it easier.Do not forget that most of the time we sleep at home, so, in the worst case, the brushing of the morning and before sleeping can always be done.

two.Better with electric brush: although with the manuals it is easier.Your comfort facilitates that a longer brushing.Ideally have a mechanism that allows you to reach all holes.

3.Pass the tooth thread: indispensable to eliminate food remains between the teeth.They are very small and the brush cannot remove them, especially if there is little space between pieces.This technique is used less than a third of citizens.The most recommended routine is to use it twice a day, but these days of hustle.

4.Control the sweets we eat: the enamel of the teeth is spent over time, by simple daily chewing.The origin is in the loss of the essential minerals to keep it healthy and strong.But there are substances that accelerate the loss of these minerals, such as the acids and sugars of Christmas sweets.

5.Use teeth with fluoride: there are other elements that help avoid demineralization of enamel, such as teeth pastes with fluoride, one of the minerals that help remineralization and subsequent strengthening of the tooth.

6.Also clean the tongue.It is usually the great forgotten of oral cleaning.Accumulates a large number of bacteria that cause both caries and bad breath.There are lingual cleaners, but if we do not have one, we can gently pass the brush, from behind and end up making a rinse to remove any residue.And then go down to buy a special cleaner.
