Is Your Oral Biofilm Secretly Accelerating Your Biological Age?

by CHUSIN WO on Feb 02 2026
Introduction: Aging Starts from WithinWhen we think about anti-aging, we often focus on topical serums, collagen supplements, or intermittent fasting. Yet, cutting-edge research in gerontology and immunology reveals a startling truth: one of the most potent, yet overlooked, drivers of biological aging resides in your mouth.It’s not merely about maintaining a bright smile or avoiding cavities. Emerging science points to Oral Biofilm—the complex bacterial ecosystem coating your teeth and gums—as a critical regulator of your biological clock. When this biofilm remains unchecked, it doesn’t just threaten your teeth; it triggers a cascade of "inflammaging" (inflammation + aging) that accelerates cellular senescence throughout your entire body.Studies now link periodontal biofilm to premature aging of the immune system (immunosenescence), measurable shortening of telomeres (the protective caps on your DNA), and even accelerated brain aging. Understanding this hidden connection isn’t just dental hygiene—it’s cellular longevity strategy. 1. Oral Biofilm: The "Illegal Structures" in Your Mouth Think of your mouth as a miniature city. Oral Biofilm is like the "slums" growing in the corners. Bacteria build fortifications (plaque) here that water alone cannot wash away. If left uncleaned, these bacteria release toxins into your bloodstream through tiny gum wounds, triggering a "chain reaction of aging" throughout your body. 2. Why is it an "Aging Accelerator"? This involves a cutting-edge concept: Cellular Senescence. When harmful oral bacteria constantly irritate your gums, healthy cells "strike" due to burnout. They stop dividing but refuse to die, turning into "Zombie Cells." They secrete toxic substances (SASP) that "infect" nearby healthy cells, leading to sagging skin, weakened immunity, and organ decline. 3. Three Mechanisms of Oral Biofilm-Induced Cellular Aging Mechanism 1: Inflammaging — Igniting Systemic "Slow Fire"Imagine your gums are like a leaky roof. When oral biofilm—the "bacterial fortress"—takes root beneath your gums, it constantly releases toxins (LPS) that slip through gum wounds into your bloodstream like flames, igniting body-wide inflammation. This "slow fire" forces immune cells to continuously secrete "aging signal flares" (IL-6, TNF-α), eventually creating a senescence cascade.Mechanism 2: Telomere Erosion — The Cellular "Life Clock" AcceleratedEveryone's cells have a "life clock"—telomeres. With each cell division, telomeres shorten slightly; when they become too short, cells "retire" (enter senescence). Oral biofilm acts like a time thief, making this clock tick faster.Mechanism 3: Mitochondrial "Energy Crisis" — Premature Cellular BlackoutMitochondria are the cell's "power plants," responsible for producing energy (ATP). Oral biofilm toxins invade and destroy these plants, causing power shortages. A 2025 Inflammation and Regeneration mouse study showed periodontitis reduced liver cell mitochondrial DNA by 35% and ATP production plummeted 40%, resulting in: systemic fatigue, slowed metabolism, and premature organ decline.Ever feel like your toothbrush only scrubs the obvious surfaces? That's because most brushes are designed to clean teeth, not your entire mouth. Plaque biofilm hides on cheeks, tongue, and gums. The Airbag Toothbrush is different. Its soft, adaptive cushions gently hug the contours of your entire oral cavity—reaching where bristles can't—to lift away biofilm for a truly comprehensive clean. It's not just brushing your teeth; it's caring for your Full-Mouth.Summary: Anti-Aging Starts in the MouthThe battle against aging isn't just fought in beauty salons; it's fought at your bathroom sink every morning and night. By switching to an Airbag Brush and a high-penetration Gel Toothpaste, you aren't just saving your teeth—you're preserving the vitality of every cell in your body.

Do you really understand oral tissue?

by CHUSIN WO on Jan 20 2026
According to the WHO report, oral diseases are the most common non-communicable diseases, affecting 3.5 billion people worldwide, accounting for about 45% of the total population. This figure is about 1 billion more than the sum of the five major non-communicable diseases. The incidence of oral diseases is on the rise worldwide, and the number of people suffering from oral diseases has increased by about 1 billion in 30 years. WHO Director-General said that "oral health has long been neglected in the global health field", but many oral diseases are "preventable". When it comes to oral disease prevention, people generally think of oral hygiene. In many cases, patients generally have good oral awareness. But in fact, the condition of the oral mucosa is the key link in oral health, but very little attention is paid to the oral mucosa. Repeated oral problems have placed a heavy burden on the oral health environment. Common diseases caused by the lack of attention to the oral mucosa include: recurrent oral ulcers (because the oral mucosa is not cleaned enough, the interaction of multiple bacteria leads to a long healing period and easy recurrence); oral leukoplakia (commonly occurs in patients who over-stimulate the oral mucosa, and mucosal lesions are caused by excessive stimulation); geographic tongue (because the tongue mucosal lesions form a clear boundary with the normal mucosa, and the shape resembles a map, so it is named); bad breath (90% of the causes of bad breath are basically due to poor oral hygiene environment and the result of the interaction of multiple bacteria and microorganisms). It can be seen that oral mucosal cleaning can prevent or improve most oral problems. The oral mucosa is a tissue attached to the oral cavity, composed of stratified squamous epithelium and lamina propria. It contains a large number of glands and is delicate, sensitive, complex in structure, and rich in blood vessels and nerves. Overall, the mucosa accounts for 75% of the oral cavity and is the largest tissue besides teeth. There are about 700 species of bacteria in the oral cavity. The bacteria interact with each other and multiply in large numbers with the help of food residues. Eventually, they interact to form a biofilm attached to the oral mucosa. The interaction of various harmful bacteria such as caries bacteria and dental plaque bacteria has a significant impact on overall oral health. In the inertial thinking, frequent brushing of teeth, brushing of tongue coating and use of mouthwash are one of the ways to reduce biofilm. However, toothbrushes can only remove biofilm attached to teeth, and frequent brushing can cause damage to teeth. Tongue brushes are hard in texture and can easily damage the delicate oral mucosa. They can only act on the tongue coating in fixed usage scenarios, and cannot clean other parts of the mouth. Mouthwashes containing chemical ingredients are highly irritating and can only remove surface biofilms, but cannot achieve deep cleaning. Long-term use will cause dependence, and will also destroy the overall balance of oral flora, reducing oral self-cleaning ability and resistance. The overall environment of the human oral cavity is generally eutrophic (food residues). In the warm and humid environment of the oral cavity, it is very easy to cause a large number of bacteria to proliferate, and interact with each other to form bacterial biofilms that are difficult to remove. Biofilms that are not effectively removed can cover the entire mouth in just 12 hours! How can we effectively and safely clean the biofilm attached to the oral mucosa? Tongueclear relies on the delicate, sensitive, and easily damaged characteristics of the oral mucosa, and uses biotechnology and physical cleaning as research and development directions to develop oral mucosa cleaning products such as Tongueclear oral airbag cleaner, oral mucosa gel, and oral cleaning finger wipes. Tongueclear oral airbag cleaner uses maternal and infant food-grade silicone as its core material, and the brush head adopts patented integrated airbag scraping technology. With the assistance of Flexconforn adaptive fitting technology, it can effectively and deeply clean all parts of the oral cavity, even some special locations such as under the tongue or around the tonsils. The soft and fitting characteristics make it less of a foreign body sensation when used. It does not use bactericidal and antibacterial means and does not damage the mucosa. It is safe and reliable. After physically cleaning the biofilm, the biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology of Tongueclear oral mucosa gel uses glycosidase and lysozyme to hydrolyze bacterial growth enzymatically, decompose residual sugar in the mouth, destroy the bacterial nutrient absorption environment, reduce activity, and slow down its regeneration rate. The deep combination of physical cleaning and biological enzymatic hydrolysis can safely and effectively control the bacteria in the oral cavity for a long time. Unlike the irritation of chemical preparations and the damage to the oral microecology, Tongueclear aims to deeply clean the oral mucosa from the perspective of safety, efficiency, and long-term sustainable development, and prevent oral diseases from the perspective of maintaining and caring for the oral cavity. It is not difficult to see that the induction of oral diseases is related to the oral mucosa. In terms of oral cleaning, we should choose products that are gentle and will not irritate the oral cavity, such as oral airbag cleaner or oral finger wipes; try to avoid choosing products with chemical preparations, which very easily irritate the already delicate oral mucosa. Try to choose mouthwash products with bio-enzymatic hydrolysis technology as the core, which can protect the oral cavity while nourishing the oral cavity, and achieve long-term and effective deep cleaning of the oral mucosa. Prevention is better than cure, and we urge everyone to pay attention to oral mucosa problems from today. Mucosal cleaning can better protect the oral cavity.

What is the Nasopharyngeal Tissue Hyperplasia?

by CHUSIN WO on Aug 07 2025
Nasopharyngeal tissue hyperplasia refers to an abnormal increase in the size and number of cells in the nasopharynx, the area of the upper throat behind the nose. Why does tissue hyperplasia form in the nasopharynx? Tissue hyperplasia in the nasopharynx, particularly adenoid hypertrophy, is primarily caused by chronic inflammation and irritation. This often stems from repeated or persistent upper respiratory infections, allergies, or other irritants like smoke or GERD. In some cases, underlying immune system issues or certain viral infections can also contribute to the overgrowth of lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx. What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal tissue hyperplasia? While symptoms may vary depending on the severity of tissue overgrowth, the common signs include: Nasal congestion: A stuffy nose or difficulty breathing through the nose is a common symptom. Nosebleeds: Bleeding from the nose can occur. Postnasal drip: Mucus may drip down the back of the throat. Sore throat: A persistent sore throat or discomfort in the throat can be present. Difficulty swallowing: In some cases, the tissue growth can make it difficult to swallow. Tinnitus: Ringing or other noises in the ears can occur. How to prevent nasopharyngeal tissue hyperplasia? Keeping the nasopharynx healthy is easier when you weave a few small habits into your daily routine and know when to seek professional help. Keep your nasal passages clear: Use a saline nasal spray or rinse once or twice a day. Practice good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day, floss every night, and rinse your mouth with water after meals. Get checked early: If you experience persistent nasal congestion, mouth breathing, or ear congestion, make an appointment with an ENT specialist for a nasal endoscopy as soon as possible. Early treatment of infections or allergies can prevent long-term tissue growth. In addition to the above preventive methods, of course, there is a new oral cleaning technique that is the most effective and perfect preventive and therapeutic method, known in the medical community as the GIFTS method, which further enhances the cleaning effect of brushing, and cleansing of the tongue, which is the key to maintaining good oral health. The tongue is not only a potential reservoir for bacteria to re-colonize the periodontal tissue, but it is also a source of bad odors in the mouth. The GIFTS cleans the mouth perfectly without wearing down the enamel. And it effectively reduces the impact of the microbiota in the oral biofilm....

What is the Tonsil Stones?

by CHUSIN WO on Aug 07 2025
Tonsil Stones Tonsil stones (tonsilloliths) are small, hardened lumps that form in the crevices (crypts) of the tonsils. They consist of: Bacteria (especially anaerobic types) Dead cells and mucus from the throat Food particles that get trapped Calcium deposits (which harden over time) Why do tonsil stones form? Tonsil stones develop when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts and hardens. What are the symptoms of tonsil stones? Bad breath Sore throat or discomfort Cough Ear pain (due to shared nerve pathways) White debris (There is obvious white substance in the tonsils) Tonsil swelling How to prevent tonsil stones? Good Oral HygieneRegular brushing, flossing and other cleaning methods can help reduce the buildup of bacteria and debris that lead to tonsil stones. Staying HydratedAdequate hydration helps to produce saliva, which can naturally rinse away particles that might otherwise accumulate in the tonsils. Gargling with Salt WaterGargling salt water can help cleanse the tonsils and reduce the risk of infection. It can also dislodge any small particles in the tonsil crypts. Using an Oral IrrigatorOral irrigators or water flossers can be useful in flushing out particles from the tonsil crypts, reducing the likelihood of stone formation. In addition to the above preventive methods, of course, there is a new oral cleaning technique that is the most effective and perfect preventive and therapeutic method, known in the medical community as the GIFTS method, which further enhances the cleaning effect of brushing, and cleansing of the tongue, which is the key to maintaining good oral health.

What is the Gingivitis?

by CHUSIN WO on Apr 26 2025
Gingivitis is a non-destructive disease that causes inflammation of the gums; gingivitis is another term for it. The common form of gingivitis, and the most common form of periodontal disease, is caused by a bacterial biofilm (also known as plaque) attached to the surface of the teeth called plaque-induced gingivitis. Most gingivitis is caused by plaque. Some of the symptoms of gingivitis are not specific and are typical of inflammation in the gum tissue: Swollen gums Bright red gums Gums that are painful to the touch Gums that bleed or bleed after brushing and/or flossing Bad breath  How is gingivitis treated? Treatment for gingivitis aims to control the infection and restore healthy teeth and gums. Your dentist or periodontist will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove harmful bacteria, plaque and tartar. How can I reduce my risk of developing gingivitis? You can reduce your risk of gingivitis by practicing good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day - once when you wake up and once before you go to bed. If you have diabetes, get it under control. Do not smoke or use other tobacco products. Floss daily to remove bacteria from between your teeth. Limit foods and beverages that contain alcohol and too much sugar. Visit your dentist at least once a year for a checkup, or more often if you have any symptoms. Of course, in addition to the above preventive methods, a new oral cleaning technology can be used, which is the most effective and perfect preventive and therapeutic method, known in the medical field as the GIFT method, which is able to clean the oral cavity perfectly without wearing down the enamel. It also effectively reduces the impact of the microbiota in the oral biofilm in order to prevent the biofilm from forming before plaque formation.

What is the Dental Ulcer?

by CHUSIN WO on Apr 26 2025
What is a mouth ulcer? A mouth ulcer is a sore that appears anywhere inside your mouth. These sores are usually red, yellow or white, and you might have one or several. You can get mouth ulcers on your: Gums. Tongue. Roof of mouth (palate). Inner cheeks. Inner lips. These sores are often painful and can make eating, drinking and speaking uncomfortable. Mouth ulcers can be alarming. However, they’re not a sexually transmitted infection(STI) and you can’t get or spread them from kissing or sharing food and drinks. Aside from any pain and discomfort, mouth ulcers are usually harmless and go away on their own in a week or two. But some types of mouth sores could point to underlying health conditions like viruses, autoimmune diseases or gastrointestinal issues.  What are the symptoms of a mouth ulcer? Mouth ulcers are usually easy to spot. They appear as sores on your gums, tongue, inner cheeks, inner lips or roof of your mouth. Mouth sores are typically: Red around the edges. White, yellow or gray in the center. You may only develop one ulcer, or there might be more. Other symptoms could include: Swelling around the ulcers. Increased soreness when brushing your teeth. Pain that worsens when eating spicy, salty or sour foods. Can I prevent mouth ulcers? While you can’t prevent mouth ulcers altogether, there are things you can do to reduce your risk: Brush your teeth twice daily and floss once daily for optimal oral health. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid tissue irritation. Eat a healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. If your provider thinks you have an underlying condition that causes sores, treating your condition can reduce the risk of ulcers returning. Talk to your provider about ways to manage your health. Of course, in addition to the above prevention methods, a novel oral cleaning technology can be used. It is the most effective and perfect prevention and treatment method. The medical community calls it the GIFT method. GIFT can perfectly clean the mouth without wearing away tooth enamel. It can also effectively reduce the impact of microbial flora in oral biofilms, thereby hindering early colonization bacteria from establishing a stable biofilm.

Waht is the Cavity?

by CHUSIN WO on Apr 26 2025
A cavity is a hole in a tooth that develops from tooth decay. Cavities form when acids in your mouth wear down (erode) your tooth’s hard outer layer (enamel). Anyone can get a cavity. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can prevent cavities. Another name for tooth cavities is dental caries. Symptoms and Causes: What are the signs of cavities? Tooth decay on the outer enamel surface doesn’t usually cause pain or symptoms. You’re more likely to experience symptoms as decay reaches beyond the enamel into the dentin and pulp. Cavity symptoms include: Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth. Bleeding gums or other signs of gum disease. Facial swelling. Toothache or mouth pain. Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks. How do you get rid of cavities? Tooth decay treatment depends on the severity of your condition. Cavity treatments include: Fluoride. Fillings. Root canal therapy. Tooth extraction. How can I prevent cavities? Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, can get rid of plaque, acids and cavity-causing bacteria. Good teeth and gum care includes: Brushing your teeth with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, and preferably after every meal. Cutting back on sugary, starchy foods and drinks. Daily flossing to get rid of food and plaque stuck between your teeth. Of course, in addition to the above preventive methods, a new oral cleaning technology can be used, which is the most effective and perfect preventive and therapeutic method, known in the medical field as the GIFT method, which is able to clean the oral cavity perfectly without wearing down the enamel. It can also effectively reduce the impact of microbial flora in oral biofilm, inhibit the formation of biofilm and the maturation of dental plaque and caries.

What is the Dental Plaque?

What is the Dental Plaque?

by CHUSIN WO on Apr 26 2025
Plaque (dental plaque), also known as tartar (as opposed to tartar), is a biological film gradually deposited on the surface of the teeth and gums, composed of microorganisms, mainly bacteria, but also fungi; plaque is formed at the beginning of the viscous thin layer of colorless sediments, but when it becomes thicker, it will form a tartar and show a yellowish or brownish color. Plaque is commonly found between the teeth, in front of the teeth, behind the teeth, on the chewing surfaces, along the gingival line (supragingival), or along the margins of the necks of the teeth below the gingival line (subgingival). Bacterial plaque is one of the leading causes of tooth decay and gum disease. Causes Dental plaque consists of food debris, shed oral epithelial cells, saliva and bacteria. The bacteria in plaque are mainly streptococci and anaerobes that are present in normal oral cavity. After plaque builds up to a certain thickness, the bacteria inside the plaque next to the surface of the teeth begin to switch to anaerobic respiration because they are cut off from the air. The acid produced by anaerobic respiration here cannot be washed away by saliva in time, so it corrodes the mineral content of the enamel and causes further dental caries. Effects and Symptoms Plaque on the teeth can form cavities, and plaque that builds up at the roots of the teeth can also irritate the gums leading to gingivitis, and when it progresses to the bone around the teeth it is known as periodontal disease such as periodontitis. If you have any of the following, you may have gum disease:  Symptoms such as bleeding gums, pus and pus when squeezed, recession, swelling, or pain when touched  Loose or shifting teeth  Bad taste in your mouth when you breathe Cleaning and treatment Plaque is harmful to your teeth and the risk of plaque buildup increases over time, so it should be removed on a regular basis. Plaque is soft in texture and can be effectively removed with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Brushing focuses on the three areas of the teeth themselves, the shallow groove between the gums and the teeth (gingival sulcus) and the gingival crevices between the teeth (gingival papillae), and the rest of the mouth to ensure that there is no food debris. Brushing twice a day, morning and evening, is usually sufficient to achieve better results. Flossing can be used in areas that are not easily brushed, such as between teeth. Scaling can further ensure the complete removal of plaque. Long-term deposits of plaque that contain more than three times the phosphorus content of normal plaque and higher calcium content will calcify to form hard tartar (calculus) after combining the soluble carbonate and phosphate minerals in saliva, which has a rough surface that makes it easier to produce plaque. Tartar makes it difficult to clean the junction between the teeth and the gums, which can lead to bacterial accumulation and long-term inflammation of the gums, which in turn can lead to periodontal disease. Tartar is generally tightly attached to the surface of the teeth and its removal needs to be carried out by a professional such as a dentist. Of course, in addition to the above preventive methods, a new oral cleaning technology can be used, which is the most effective and perfect preventive and therapeutic method, known in the medical field as the GIFT method, which is able to clean the oral cavity perfectly without wearing down the enamel. It also effectively reduces the impact of the microbiota in the oral biofilm in order to prevent the biofilm from forming before plaque formation.

Why do oral ulcers occur and what should I do?

by CHUSIN WO on Nov 28 2024
What is oral ulcer? Oral ulcer is a common oral problem in life. It is caused by infection of wounds in the mouth. Before the ulcer is formed, if the environment in the mouth is clean enough, it is actually possible to heal itself. But if the oral environment is poor, it is very likely to develop into oral ulcer.  Impact and harm of oral ulcers Although oral ulcers are small in area, the impact and harm they bring are multifaceted. Whether it is eating, drinking water, or simply talking, it will become difficult. The following are common harms of oral ulcers: 1.Increased risk of infection If oral ulcers are not healed for a long time, they may become an entry point for bacterial or viral infection. The wounds on the surface of the ulcers are easily infected by food residues or bacteria in the mouth, leading to aggravated local inflammation and even the possibility of systemic infection. 2.It may be a sign of certain diseases Recurrent or long-term unhealed oral ulcers may be early symptoms of certain systemic diseases, such as: Vitamin or trace element deficiency: such as lack of vitamin B, iron or zinc. Immune system problems: such as autoimmune diseases such as Behcet's disease and lupus erythematosus. Gastrointestinal diseases: such as gastric ulcers or Crohn's disease. Signals of malignant diseases: For example, the early manifestation of oral cancer may be persistent unhealed ulcers. 3.Induce other oral problems Long-term oral ulcers may affect the health of adjacent teeth and oral tissues, and increase the risk of other oral diseases such as caries and gingivitis. How do oral ulcers form? There are many factors that cause oral ulcers, such as stress from life and work, decreased immunity, etc., but the biggest reason is actually because of wounds on the oral mucosa and the poor environment in the mouth. Since the oral mucosa is delicate and sensitive, but we cannot reduce some daily habits, such as brushing teeth, we cannot avoid it from being damaged. If we want to curb oral ulcers, we need to control and change the oral hygiene conditions. The reason why oral ulcers occur is that after the oral mucosa is damaged, the poor oral hygiene environment affects the normal metabolism and repair of the oral mucosa. Bacteria reproduce faster in the rich, humid and warm environment of the mouth, and oral bacterial biofilms are formed between multiple bacteria. These bacteria and bacterial biofilms are not cleaned in time, which in turn causes oral inflammation and oral ulcers. Not only that, the poor oral environment may also prolong the healing time of oral ulcers, making your pain cycle longer. How does the oral environment affect oral ulcers?  Oral ulcers are mainly caused by unavoidable oral mucosal wounds, which become infected in extremely bad oral environments and then form ulcers. How does the oral environment affect oral ulcers? As the saying goes, "diseases come from the mouth." With the improvement of the quality of life, people have more and more choices for food. Some people like to eat heavy-tasting food, and this type of people are more likely to suffer from oral ulcers. First of all, other irritating flavors such as heavy oil, spicy, and sour can easily irritate the delicate oral mucosa. If we do not clean the mouth thoroughly at this time, the probability of suffering from oral ulcers will greatly increase. Another point that needs to be explained is that comprehensive oral cleaning is not as simple as brushing teeth. According to relevant data, teeth only account for 25% of the oral area, and the remaining 75% are covered by oral mucosa. Therefore, if you want to have a good oral environment, you need to clean your teeth while cleaning the oral mucosa, including our tongue, sublingual, upper and lower jaws, inside of the cheeks, gums and other parts.
How can we prevent bad breath

How can we prevent bad breath?

by CHUSIN WO on Nov 01 2024
According to statistics, bad breath can be divided into oral and non-oral halitosis ;according to its characteristics. Currently, 90% of the common bad breath in life is oral halitosis. This type of bad breath is caused by bacteria. Most of them are manifested as inadequate oral hygiene, large-scale bacterial reproduction, and then causing bad breath. This type of bad breath can be well prevented as long as daily oral hygiene is in place. However, non-oral halitosis is mostly pathological halitosis, such as caries, tartar, respiratory diseases, consumptive system diseases, etc. If it is non-oral halitosis, then it is necessary to carry out targeted treatment first, and then carry out effective prevention. Therefore, the first step to prevent bad breath is to determine the type of bad breath. If it is non-oral halitosis, you need to seek medical attention in time, and then carry out scientific prevention. How to prevent bad breath? 1. Deeply clean teeth and gaps between teeth to inhibit bacterial growth You should know that the bacteria in the mouth rely on food residues in the mouth to absorb energy and reproduce. In particular, food residues are easily hidden in the gaps between teeth. If daily teeth cleaning is not in place, the bacteria will have enough energy, and they will continue to reproduce and produce bad odors. If this continues for a long time, when bacteria are rampant, not only will the bad breath problem be aggravated, but oral problems such as dental plaque, gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth decay will also come together. Therefore, if you want to prevent bad breath, the first step is to do a good job of daily cleaning of teeth and gaps between teeth to prevent bacteria from multiplying in large numbers and producing unpleasant odors. When choosing toothpaste, you can choose one that contains antibacterial ingredients. Using it every day can prevent bad breath very well. 2. Comprehensively remove bacteria in the oral cavity to solve the problem of bad breath The oral cavity is one of the five major bacterial reservoirs in the human body, with a large number of bacteria and a high density. They mainly exist in the oral environment in two forms, one is attached to the teeth, and the other is in a floating state, existing in saliva, gingival sulcus, mucosa, tonsils and other parts! Therefore, tooth cleaning ≠ oral cleaning. According to statistics, in the human oral cavity, teeth actually only occupy 25% of the area, which means that correct and scientific brushing can only remove 25% of the bacteria in the oral cavity, and the remaining 75% are covered by the oral mucosa.  Therefore, if you want to prevent bad breath, you can't just focus on tooth cleaning but ignore oral cleaning. We must give the entire oral cavity a comprehensive cleaning!
How to detect whether you have bad breath

How to detect whether you have bad breath?

by CHUSIN WO on Oct 31 2024
How To Detect Bad Breath: 1. Licking the back of your hand: lick the back of your hand with your tongue, wait for about 10 seconds, and smell it near the back of your hand after the saliva has dried. What you smell is the real smell of your mouth. If there is a pungent or unpleasant smell, it is bad breath.2. Breathing judgment method: Put your hands together, cover your mouth and nose, and form a sealed space. Exhale, then inhale through your nose. If you can smell a pungent or unpleasant smell, it means you have bad breath.3. Cotton swab detection method: Choose a clean cotton swab, insert the cotton swab into your mouth, gently wipe it on the tongue coating or between your teeth, and then take it out and smell it for any peculiar smell.4. Mask method: After putting on the mask, wrap your mouth and nose to form a closed space, take a deep breath and exhale several times. If you smell a peculiar smell, it proves that you have bad breath.5.Exhalation method: Take a small cup, exhale into it with your mouth for 5-8s, and then smell it for any peculiar smell. Misconceptions about bad breath: Myth 1: Exhaling into the palm of your hand can determine whether you have bad breath. Bad breath comes not only from the tongue coating, but also from many hidden places such as the deep part of the mouth and the gaps between teeth. Therefore, simply exhaling into the palm of your hand cannot effectively detect whether you have bad breath. This is an unscientific detection method. The correct detection method can refer to the above-mentioned bad breath detection method. Myth 2: Bad breath indicates a serious illness. It should be noted that having bad breath does not imply that you have a serious illness, but about 3/4 of patients with bad breath have some dental problems, such as swollen gums, ulcers, infections or thick tongue coating. If you find symptoms, you need to go to the oral department in time. Myth 3: Mouthwash can effectively remove bad breath. A British health research institute analyzed the scientific literature on bad breath and found that 5 tests showed that if the mouthwash contains antibacterial substances such as chlorhexidine, chlorine dioxide, and zinc, the unpleasant odor can be reduced to a certain extent. But A study by Queen Mary College, University of London, found that a healthy oral biological flora can inhibit the proliferation of bacteria that produce bad breath, while frequent use of mouthwash will kill some "beneficial bacteria" and lead to oral flora imbalance. Therefore, it can be seen that mouthwash can only be used for emergency and short-term use, and it is not a product that can truly solve the problem of bad breath. If you can understand the relationship between the bacteria in the mouth, you will know that the bacteria exist in groups and are covered with a layer of biofilm. American scientists have done a lot of experiments before. This film cannot be removed by the impact of mouthwash alone. This is one of the reasons why mouthwash is very short-term. The correct way is to first remove food residues by brushing and flossing, and use oral mucosal cleaning tools to clean bacteria and food residues in other parts except teeth; keep regular teeth washing to reduce the living space of odor-producing microorganisms such as anaerobic bacteria. Maintain a benign oral hygiene environment.

Daily teeth cleaning, gums bleeding frequently, why?

by CHUSIN WO on Oct 14 2024
Gum bleeding is a common oral problem. About 80% of people worldwide have experienced or are experiencing gum bleeding. Apart from the effects of inappropriate cleaning utensils or overly hard food on the oral cavity, the main cause of gum bleeding is inflammation of the gums under the stimulation of bacteria, which makes the gums fragile and sensitive. Incorrect cleaning methods cause them to bleed at the touch. Teeth account for 25% of the entire oral cavity, and the rest is mucosal tissue. Gums are also one of the mucosal tissues. Teeth grow on the gums, just like flowers grow in the soil. In the case of bleeding gums, continuing to use incorrect oral cleaning methods will make the problem more serious, so the results will not meet expectations; to care for bleeding gums and restore the oral cavity to a dynamic and healthy state, you need to sterilize the gums, massage the gums, and reduce factors that irritate the gums. In overall oral hygiene, everyone should think that mouthwash is one of the long-term effective ways to kill bacteria, but mouthwash removes bacteria in a free state and has little effect on bacterial biofilms that have already adhered to the oral mucosa or teeth. Within a few hours after use, the bacteria will return to the level before use, and the timeliness is very short and irritating. But long-term use is not recommended. Excessive brushing can irritate and worsen gum damage, and it also fails to clean the bacteria on the gums. Long-term use of mouthwash can damage the oral flora and irritate the mucosa. Are there other safe, effective, and long-lasting products for cleaning the oral mucosa? TongueClear oral airbag brush can effectively remove bacterial biofilm on the gums by scraping with the airbag brush head. Bacterial biofilm has a certain stickiness and cannot be removed by ordinary mouthwash. The gentle and soft wiping of the airbag brush head will not only not damage the gum tissue, but also effectively peel off the adhered bacteria, remove food residues in the mouth, make the bacteria lose food, and find it difficult to reproduce, reduce the activity of bacteria and naturally die. It has little irritation to the mucosa. Unlike the hard texture of toothbrushes or tongue brushes, oral brushes are soft and tough, and the cleaning process is gentle with little foreign body sensation. It is also different from chemical mouthwashes for the purpose of inactivation. Physical cleaning is safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting.

Unlocking the secrets of oral thrush: Advice from health experts

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 27 2024
Oral thrush, also known as oral candidiasis, is a common oral disease. It is caused by Candida infection and usually affects infants, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems. Especially among infants, many mothers are still immersed in the joy of the baby's arrival. Because the baby's mouth is very delicate, they are worried or afraid that cleaning will hurt the baby, so they will ignore oral hygiene, which will induce oral diseases such as thrush. But don't panic, we only need to understand the symptoms, causes, treatments and preventive measures of the disease, so that we can better manage oral health. What is thrush? Thrush is a disease caused by a fungal infection, most commonly caused by Candida albicans. This fungus is normally present in the mouth, but under certain conditions, it can overgrow and cause an infection. Typical symptoms of thrush include white spots in the mouth, pain, difficulty swallowing, and dryness in the mouth. Sometimes, the infection can also cause redness, swelling, and discomfort in other areas of the mouth. Causes of Thrush Thrush can be caused by a variety of reasons, usually due to the following:1. Low immunity: A weak immune system makes the body susceptible to infection.2. Antibiotic use: Antibiotics kill the beneficial bacteria in the mouth, allowing Candida to multiply rapidly.3. Diabetes: High blood sugar levels help Candida to grow, making diabetics more susceptible to infection.4. Poor oral hygiene: Lack of good oral care habits can lead to an imbalance of bacteria in the mouth, increasing the risk of infection. Although thrush is a common oral disease, it can cause great harm to the body if it is not treated in time. Therefore, once you find symptoms of thrush, you should go to the hospital in time and take effective treatment measures. How to treat thrush? If you have symptoms of thrush or suspect you have thrush, please see a doctor immediately. Treatment for thrush usually includes the use of antifungal drugs, such as fluconazole or clotrimazole. Maintain good oral hygiene and perform full oral cleaning regularly. It should be noted that brushing and flossing can only clean 25% of the oral area. The other 75% is made up of oral mucosa. Therefore, if you want to achieve true oral cleaning, you need to clean not only the teeth but also the oral mucosa. Only in this way can you effectively prevent reinfection and speed up recovery. At the same time, you should also reduce the consumption of irritating foods and keep your diet light. How to prevent thrush? The key to preventing thrush is to maintain oral health and good living habits. Here are some effective preventive measures:Regular oral cleaning: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and use dental floss to clean the residue between the teeth. At the same time, use oral mucosal cleaning tools to clean the oral cavity other than the teeth, so as to achieve true full oral cleaning, remove harmful bacteria, and maintain oral hygiene.Healthy diet: Maintain a balanced diet and reduce sugar intake to reduce the chance of Candida growth.Exercise and fitness: Exercise to enhance immunity and prevent infection caused by low immunity.Regular health checks: Especially for diabetics, regularly monitor blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Understanding Gum Disease: How to Prevent and Maintain Oral Health

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 19 2024
 What are the types of gum disease and what are their symptoms? Gum disease is often silent and has no obvious symptoms in the early stages, so it is difficult to detect in the early stages, which means that symptoms may not appear until the later stages of the disease. Here are some common types of oral gum disease: Gingivitis: The mildest form of gum disease, usually caused by plaque accumulation. Symptoms of gingivitis include red and swollen gums, bleeding (especially when brushing), and bad breath. Periodontitis: Periodontitis is the advanced stage of untreated gingivitis. At this time, the inflammation will spread to the bones and tissues around the teeth, causing the teeth to loosen or even fall out. Symptoms include gum recession, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, abscesses, etc. Necrotic gingivitis: This disease is rare and usually occurs in people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include severe gum pain, ulcers, necrosis and fever, which require emergency treatment. Gum recession: refers to the phenomenon that the gum tissue gradually recedes, exposing the tooth root. Under normal circumstances, the gums cover the root part of the tooth, but as the gums shrink, the root will be exposed. This situation not only affects the appearance, but may also lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of caries, and even loose teeth. How can gum disease be prevented? Relevant data research shows that if most oral diseases can be prevented early and good oral hygiene is maintained, the risk of oral diseases can be effectively reduced. The following are some common and effective prevention methods: Maintain good oral hygiene habits: The correct brushing method is the basis for preventing gum disease. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth at least twice a day, and use dental floss to clean the gaps between teeth to remove physical debris in the gaps between teeth. Choose fluoride toothpaste and replace toothbrushes regularly. Adhere to good dental cleaning to help remove dental plaque and keep the mouth clean. Pay attention to mucosal cleaning: In addition to brushing and flossing, it is equally important to clean the oral mucosa (such as the tongue, under the tongue, inside the cheeks, and gums). Bacteria and food residues can also accumulate on the tongue coating. Using professional oral cleaning tools (such as oral mucosa cleaners) can help completely remove bacteria in the mouth and reduce the risk of gingivitis. Regular oral examinations: At least two oral examinations a year can detect and treat gum disease early. Dentists can perform professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar and prevent further development of gum disease. Healthy diet and quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption: Healthy eating habits are also important for gum health. Reducing sugar intake helps reduce the formation of dental plaque. Smoking and excessive drinking increase the risk of gum disease, so quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption is essential for maintaining gum health.

The concept and daily prevention of gum sensitivity

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 19 2024
Everyone may be familiar with sensitive gums. The gums or teeth will feel obvious soreness in hot or cold environments. Some friends will feel soreness, weakness in their teeth, and bleeding gums when eating hard or irregular foods. Gum sensitivity, which is caused by poor hygiene in the oral cavity, resulting in bacteria and food debris at the periodontium and mucous membranes to form a biofilm at the gingival margins and not properly and scientifically cleaned, leading to further bacterial damage to stimulate the gum tissues, causing redness and swelling of the gums, bleeding, receding gums, and other oral problems. Sensitive gums are one of the early warnings of oral problems. When you notice that your gums are reddish in color, have a noticeable indentation when pressed, and have a softer texture than normal gums, you should be concerned about whether or not your mouth is being properly cleaned. Ineffective oral hygiene is a key factor in causing gum sensitivity. Modern people's oral cavity is basically in a eutrophic state. The warm and humid overall environment allows bacteria to multiply and form biofilms attached to various parts of the oral cavity. A large number of bacteria survive and grow under the protection of biofilms. Uninterrupted biofilms will eventually lead to the formation of plaques, promoting the formation of tartar, demineralization, caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease. It threatens the overall health of the oral cavity because inflammation continues to irritate the gums. Therefore, frequent destruction of biofilms is essential to prevent plaque formation. Most people think that brushing teeth frequently can effectively clean the mouth, but brushing teeth can only clean teeth. The hardness of the toothbrush will cause wear on the teeth, and the greater the force applied, the more wear will be caused. However, even for well-trained people, brushing teeth cannot remove more than 40% of dental plaque. Moreover, incorrect brushing methods not only fail to clean teeth and mucosa, but also easily cause the gums to retreat toward the roots, making gum sensitivity more serious. In order to prevent gum sensitivity problems, other oral cleaning methods should be used to supplement brushing. Related studies have shown that although the combination of toothpaste and mechanical brushing can remove most bacteria in the mouth, tongue cleaning will further enhance the cleaning effect of brushing. However, the tongue cleaning methods are relatively limited, which causes the bacteria on the tongue to continue to multiply in the saliva. We cannot take out the tongue for cleaning at any time, but it proves from the side that cleaning methods similar to the tongue, such as wiping the oral mucosa with fingers, are crucial in reducing the overall bacterial load in the mouth. TongueClear starts from the cleaning concept theory of "frequent destruction of biofilms" and believes that oral cleaning must have the three characteristics of safety, effectiveness and long-term use. We only need to mechanically interfere with the formation of biofilms to reduce the early colonization of bacteria. Combined with relevant research, physical cleaning is the safest and most efficient way to effectively destroy biofilms. Based on this research, TongueClear combines the tongue with fingers that have similar characteristics to the tongue to develop an oral airbag cleaner with mucosal cleaning function. The oral airbag cleaner is made of food-grade silicone material, and the airbag brush head can cling to the inner wall of the mouth like a tongue or finger. The patented scraping integrated texture cleans the mucosa over a large area while massaging the mouth, improving blood circulation in the mouth, reducing symptoms of gum sensitivity, and enhancing the overall resistance of the mouth. On the basis of physical cleaning, TongueClear has developed an oral mucosal gel containing lysozyme and glycosidase as a supplement to oral physical cleaning. After physical cleaning, some residual bacteria still pose a certain threat to oral hygiene. Lysozyme can dissolve harmful bacteria without damaging the oral microecology and decompose the residual sugar in the mouth to achieve the purpose of destroying bacterial activity and living environment, and achieve safe, efficient and long-term cleaning at both the physical and biological levels of the oral cavity. Effective and scientific oral cleaning can effectively prevent diseases caused by oral hygiene problems. Gum sensitivity is a warning before the occurrence of oral diseases. Therefore, we must pay attention to oral cleaning and choose oral cleaning products that can be used for a long time, safe and effective.

Common Dental Diseases - Prevention and Auxiliary Treatment of Caries (Tooth Decay)

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 18 2024
Tooth decay is what we often call dental caries. It is a disease that causes progressive destruction of tooth hard tissues under the influence of multiple factors such as bacterial infection. Failure to receive timely treatment can lead to complications such as pulpitis, apical periodontitis, and even jaw inflammation. Bacteria are the main factor in the occurrence of dental caries. Cariogenic bacteria are often mainly Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus, and Actinomycetes (Streptococcus mutans can cause caries on the smooth surface of teeth, Actinomycetes can cause pit and fissure caries, and Lactobacillus accelerates the development of caries). With the change of modern dietary structure, food residues and lack of attention to oral hygiene have become the norm. The oral cavity is continuously in a state of eutrophication. The warm and humid environmental characteristics of the oral cavity allow bacteria to multiply in large numbers. Bacteria interact with each other to form biofilms, which provide living space and protection for bacteria. Bacteria then decompose food residues in the oral cavity to metabolize and feed back to the biofilm to make it stronger. The acidic substances in the metabolic process corrode and change the overall environment of the oral cavity, while causing the enamel to demineralize and dissolve to produce caries. Dental caries are common in people of any age after the eruption of deciduous teeth, and the main reason for the high incidence of dental caries is the lack of correct oral hygiene awareness and effective cleaning methods. Symptoms and Causes: What are the signs of cavities? Tooth decay on the outer enamel surface doesn’t usually cause pain or symptoms. You’re more likely to experience symptoms as decay reaches beyond the enamel into the dentin and pulp. Cavity symptoms include: Bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth. Bleeding gums or other signs of gum disease. Facial swelling. Toothache or mouth pain. Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks. How do you get rid of cavities? Tooth decay treatment depends on the severity of your condition. Cavity treatments include: Fluoride. Fillings. Root canal therapy. Tooth extraction. How can I prevent cavities? Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, can get rid of plaque, acids and cavity-causing bacteria. Good teeth and gum care includes: Brushing your teeth with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day, and preferably after every meal. Cutting back on sugary, starchy foods and drinks. Daily flossing to get rid of food and plaque stuck between your teeth.
The relationship between pulpitis prevention and improvement and oral hygiene

The relationship between pulpitis prevention and improvement and oral hygiene

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 10 2024
Pulpitis is one of the common oral diseases, accounting for about 10%-20% of the overall oral diseases. According to statistics from relevant international research institutions, it is more common among adults, especially those over 30 years old. As they age, their teeth become more susceptible to external stimuli and cause inflammation. At the same time, in some areas with backward sanitary conditions and weak oral protection awareness, the incidence of pulpitis is higher than that in European and American countries, accounting for 20% or more of local oral diseases. It is reported that poor oral hygiene habits are one of the biggest causes of pulpitis. The pulp is a loose connective tissue containing nerves and blood vessels, located in the pulp cavity inside the tooth. Pulpitis is caused by bacteria invading the pulp after the hard tissue of the tooth is destroyed by bacterial acid production or other reasons. Pulpitis generally has obvious spontaneous pain or occasional dull pain. When the pain occurs, it cannot be clearly pointed out where the affected tooth is. The pain often radiates to the upper and lower jaw teeth or head and face on the same side of the affected tooth. Some patients will also experience aggravated pain due to temperature stimulation, showing symptoms of "hot pain and cold relief". In addition to uncontrollable factors, such as the loss of tooth hard matter caused by eating hard and irregular foods, dental caries is the most common cause of loss of tooth hard tissue. Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a bacterial disease caused by the combination of Streptococcus mutans and other harmful bacteria to form a bacterial biofilm that corrodes teeth. Bacteria reproduce in the eutrophic and warm and humid environment of the oral cavity, decompose food residues to produce organic acids and ammonia, lower the oral pH environment, decompose tooth organic matter, decalcify and dissolve hard tissue, and gradually destroy the tooth surface, forming cavities and exposing the pulp. The prevention and improvement of pulpitis are closely related to oral hygiene. The mouths of modern people are often exposed to sweets and high-calorie diets. The residual food contains a large amount of carbohydrates and sugar, which continuously provide power for bacteria to continuously transform the oral environment, making the mouth in an acidic state suitable for their survival for a long time. With the accumulation of time, pulpitis breaks out due to the loss of tooth hard tissue and the proliferation of oral bacteria. It can be seen that the quality of oral hygiene is directly related to the incidence of pulpitis, and the most direct way to improve oral hygiene is brushing teeth and cleaning mucosa, but common cleaning methods are basically concentrated on teeth cleaning, and the methods for mucosal cleaning are few, single and ineffective, and cannot deeply destroy the bacterial biofilm. Oral bacteria that are not properly cleaned will fill the entire mouth again in just a few hours. The reciprocating mechanical toothbrushes we are familiar with can only destroy and remove bacterial biofilms attached to teeth, but there has been no scientific cleaning method in the field of oral mucosa. TongueClear starts from the concept of oral mucosa cleaning, sorts out and studies the characteristics of mucosa, and develops oral airbag cleaner and biotechnology oral mucosa gel that clean mucosa at the physical level. The oral brush uses a silicone airbag brush head, and Flexconform adaptive technology makes the mouthwash soft and tough enough to fit the human oral structure. The scraping integrated cleaning texture increases the contact area with the oral mucosa, and massages the inner wall of the oral cavity while scraping to promote blood circulation, enhance oral resistance and the health of the oral mucosa. The oral brush destroys the bacterial biofilm attached to the oral cavity by physical means and removes food residues. At the same time, the lysozyme and glycosidase in the mouthwash destroy the living environment of bacteria while eliminating pathogens, thereby achieving long-term, efficient and deep cleaning of the overall oral hygiene environment. Pulpitis is closely related to the oral environment and tooth hard tissues, but the loss of tooth hard substances is related to many factors. We cannot prevent foreign objects from damaging teeth, but we can control oral bacteria and biofilms, prevent early bacterial colonization and plaque formation of bacterial biofilms, and reduce damage to teeth caused by bacteria, thereby achieving overall prevention of oral problems.
How to prevent pericoronitis by improving oral hygiene

How to prevent pericoronitis by improving oral hygiene

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 10 2024
Pericoronitis is a common oral disease worldwide, accounting for about 5%-15% of oral diseases. The onset of pericoronitis is mainly concentrated in the stage of tooth eruption, often occurring in the wisdom tooth eruption period of young people around 18-30 years old. The eruption of wisdom teeth is affected by the physiological characteristics and living habits of wisdom teeth. The incidence of pericoronitis in this stage is about 10%-20%. In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, due to the sound awareness of oral health care, their professional intervention in early prevention and intervention has made the incidence of pericoronitis in European and American countries relatively low. Pericoronitis is mainly manifested as inflammation of the soft tissue around the crown of the tooth. In the early stage of pericoronitis, the gums can be obviously painful and swollen, and local swelling due to inflammation may occur. The main treatment methods currently available are to control local bacterial infection and control oral hygiene while eliminating the infection. In the analysis of many cases of pericoronitis oral diseases, it was found that a small number of patients had pericoronitis due to bacterial infection caused by oral gingival tissue injury. Some patients had impacted wisdom teeth due to the physiological characteristics of wisdom teeth, which led to inflammation. In this case, surgery was required to remove the impacted wisdom teeth. However, oral hygiene is crucial in both the preoperative surgical environment and postoperative recovery. Putting aside the uncontrollable factors mentioned above, about 70% of the remaining pericoronitis patients have long-term accumulation of food residues around the crowns before the onset of the disease. In the eutrophic and warm and humid environment of the oral cavity, anaerobic bacteria, the main pathogens of pericoronitis, multiply in large numbers. Anaerobic bacteria use the bacterial residues in the mouth for metabolism and produce a large number of harmful metabolites, such as endotoxins, organic acidic substances, etc. The accumulation of acidic substances leads to a decrease in the pH value of the oral cavity, which has a comprehensive impact on the overall oral environment. At the same time, a large number of bacteria interact with each other in the mouth to form bacterial biofilms attached to the teeth, oral mucosa and other internal spaces of the oral cavity. The biofilm provides bacteria with a stable living environment to help them continuously release harmful substances, causing the gums and other tissues to be in a state of chronic inflammation, restricting local blood circulation, and reducing the resistance and self-healing ability of the gums. The biofilm can resist common oral cleaning methods. Damage to the oral mucosa and gums and periodontal tissues is inevitable. Whether it is gum damage during the eruption of wisdom teeth, picking teeth with a toothpick after meals, or eating hard, angular foods, it can easily cause damage to the fragile and delicate oral tissues. Ultimately, the occurrence of pericoronitis is also caused by poor oral hygiene and increased bacteria. For oral hygiene, we need to pay more attention to the cleaning of the mucosa.Good oral cleaning can prevent the occurrence of most common oral diseases. Maintaining correct cleaning habits can effectively prevent about 70% to 80% of oral diseases. However, the simple mechanical back-and-forth brushing behavior can only basically remove the biofilm and bacteria attached to the teeth, and the cleaning of the mucosa is basically zero. Oral mucosa occupies most of the space and area of the oral cavity, and is delicate and sensitive. Common cleaning methods generally have many limitations, and are often highly irritating and easily damage the mucosa. Most products are prone to damage the oral microecology. TongueClear has developed an oral airbag cleaner with Flexconform adaptive fitting technology at the physical level for the delicate oral mucosa. The patented texture of the scraping one-piece can maximize the contact area and massage the gums to promote blood circulation during use. The brush head is soft and elastic, comfortable to use, and has low foreign body sensation. It uses physical means to remove food residues and bacterial biofilms in the mouth. On the basis of physical cleaning, TongueClear has developed a oral mucosa gel made by biotechnology. The lysozyme and glycosidase contained in it can enzymatically hydrolyze a variety of pathogens in the oral cavity through biological enzymatic hydrolysis, decompose residual sugar in the oral cavity, destroy the living space of bacteria, and kill bacteria from the root. A variety of natural plant extracts can also nourish the beneficial bacteria in the oral cavity. Long-term use is safe and durable and will not damage the microecology in the oral cavity. This is why long-term and correct use of TongueClear can prevent pericoronitis. Prevention of oral diseases is better than cure, and oral hygiene is the basic link in the prevention of oral diseases. We must have a correct understanding of pericoronitis. Damage to oral tissue is inevitable, but we can kill bacteria by cleaning the mouth and reduce the risk of pericoronitis caused by a poor oral microenvironment. At the same time, a healthy oral microenvironment will also promote the self-healing of pericoronitis and the dissipation of inflammation.

How to prevent and improve oral ulcers through oral hygiene

by CHUSIN WO on Sep 06 2024
   Speaking of oral ulcers, I believe everyone is familiar with them. Everyone is more or less troubled by them. Often, wounds the size of rice grains can affect our dining and talking for a whole day. The main incidence of oral ulcers is concentrated in the stage from youth to adulthood, accounting for 10-25% of the total population, among which the main age group is 20-40 years old. At this stage, young and middle-aged people generally have oral hygiene problems caused by high pressure and irregular life, which has become a major cause of the high incidence of oral ulcers. Some research data show that the annual prevalence of recurrent oral ulcers is 5%-25%. In the survey of the oral ulcer drug market, it can be found that the oral ulcer drug market will reach US$1.619 billion in 2023. If estimated at a predicted growth rate of 3.9%, it is expected to reach US$2.1222 billion in 2029, which has led some institutions to believe that the probability of a person suffering from oral ulcers in his lifetime is infinitely close to 100%. Preventing and reducing the occurrence of oral ulcers is much more cost-effective than waiting for oral ulcers to occur before treating them. How can we correctly and scientifically prevent oral ulcers?    Oral ulcer is a common ulcerative injury disease of the oral mucosa. Its typical ulcer surface is mostly round or oval, and the surface is covered with a layer of grayish white or yellow pseudomembrane, which is composed of a mixture of inflammatory exudate, necrotic tissue and various bacteria. The ulcers come in various forms, as small as rice grains, as large as several centimeters, and there are even multiple wounds fused into one piece. The most intuitive feeling of oral ulcer is pain in the affected area, but the pain varies from person to person. Some patients even feel a significant burning or tingling sensation on the inner wall of the mouth. During the onset of the disease, patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as bad breath, dry mouth, and bitter mouth. The human oral environment is eutrophic, warm and humid. In this environment, the bacterial reproduction ability is enhanced, resulting in a geometric increase in oral bacteria. The excessive cells have a great impact on wound healing, and some patients may even develop other diseases such as lymphadenopathy (the body's immune response to inflammation at the site of oral ulcers).    The cause of oral ulcers is simple. The oral mucosa of the human body is delicate and sensitive. If the oral mucosa is injured or the oral hygiene environment is poor, excessive bacteria will lead to oral ulcers. The injury to the oral mucosa mainly comes from the stimulation of food or the damage to the mucosa by sharp foreign objects. Injury to the oral mucosa is inevitable, but the only thing we can control and change is oral hygiene. A poor oral hygiene environment can easily affect normal metabolism and the repair of oral mucosa. Bacteria reproduce faster in the oral cavity's rich, humid, and warm atmosphere. Oral bacterial biofilms are formed between various bacteria. Biofilms that are not properly cleaned can cover the entire mouth in just a few hours, which will then cause oral inflammation and lead to oral ulcers. Poor oral environment and poor eating habits will also greatly prolong the healing time of oral ulcers.    The prevention and healing of oral ulcers are closely related to oral hygiene. The imbalance of oral microecology can lead to the proliferation of biofilms and other pathogens. Diet and personal oral hygiene are essential for preventing oral diseases. However, through literature and data, it is found that most people's understanding of oral hygiene remains at the level of teeth cleaning, and there is no systematic understanding of oral mucosal cleaning and biofilms. How to clean the oral mucosa and attached bacterial biofilms is a major point in preventing oral problems.    Common oral cleaning products on the market can be divided into toothbrushes, mouthwashes, and tongue brushes. There are many types, but they are very limited. In daily life, mechanical methods (brushing and interdental cleaning) can indeed destroy the dental biofilm, but teeth only account for 25% of the entire oral cavity. Cleaning teeth cannot change the oral hygiene environment as a whole. The biofilm removed from the teeth can cover the entire mouth again in just a few hours. Tongue brushes have a single usage scenario and can only be used for tongue cleaning. The rough and hard material often causes certain damage to the tongue during use, resulting in damage to the taste buds and taste degradation. Mouthwashes commonly used for rinsing the mouth after meals are also mostly made of chemical agents, which are highly irritating and have a single function to sterilize the oral cavity. They can easily cause oral flora disorders and break the oral microecology, resulting in a decrease in the oral cavity's resistance.    TongueClear combined data and experiments to conduct a control experiment on biofilm interference by brushing teeth multiple times a day and using fingers or other flexible objects after brushing teeth. It was found that oral-related diseases can be prevented in advance by reducing biofilm. Frequent oral biofilm interference can improve oral hygiene and prevent diseases more effectively than oral cleaning multiple times a day without wearing out teeth or destroying the oral micro environment.    TongueClear relies on relevant experimental data and combines the characteristics of weak oral mucosa to develop physical oral airbag cleaner and biotechnology gel. The oral airbag cleaner uses Flexconform technology and a 3D airbag brush head. It has adapted fit while simulating the flexibility of fingers in experiments. The patented texture design of the scraping one-piece maximizes the contact area with the oral cavity. It massages the gums and the inner wall of the oral cavity while cleaning the oral cavity. Massaging the gums and the inner wall of the oral cavity can promote blood circulation and assist in preventing oral diseases. It can also clean the bacterial biofilm and food residues attached to the oral mucosa through physical means without damaging the delicate oral mucosa.    Through physical means, we can destroy most bacterial biofilms and remove a large of food residues. On this basis, we can use TongueClear gel to rinse our mouths. In the gel, glycosidase and lysase are used to control bacteria remaining in the mouth. Different from the stimulation and surface sterilization of chemical agents on the oral mucosa, TongueClear uses biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology on the basis of physical cleaning to enzymatically hydrolyze pathogenic bacteria in the mouth, control and destroy the living environment of bacteria, reduce bacterial growth, and deeply destroy stubborn biofilms. Without changing the oral microecology, it is gentler, more durable and more efficient.    For the prevention and improvement of oral diseases, TongueClear takes the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of oral cleaning as the core concept of prevention and intervention. For oral ulcers, due to the delicate characteristics of oral mucosa, we cannot ensure that every time we eat, we will not damage the oral mucosa, but we can control and change the overall oral hygiene, especially the mucosa hygiene. This is why TongueClear can reduce the incidence of oral ulcers. Through correct and scientific cleaning methods, the self-healing time of oral ulcers can be greatly shortened and the incidence of ulcers can be reduced. Choose the right product to prevent oral problems in advance.
