In recent years, because of dental problems, I have been in and out of the hospital frequently.

I have tried to maintain my oral health by cleaning my teeth. In the beginning, every cleaning felt like torture, and my mouth seemed to have a hard time getting used to the cleaning. However, as time went on, I found that the condition of my teeth did not improve as the cavity technician said, but some of the roots of the teeth appeared defects, resulting in the exposure of dental sensitive substances, and had to be repaired.

I began to wonder if the enamel on my teeth had been damaged during the cleaning process, which caused the breakage of my teeth. Since then, my dental cleaning habit has become intermittent and no longer an annual routine. This causes dental stones to gradually destroy the periodontal tissue, causing bigger problems.

About five years ago, one of my teeth actually became loose. After examination, the doctor told me that it was due to the receded gums caused by long-term periodontal inflammation, and the basic gums of the teeth were damaged. As a result, my teeth became very weak and could loosen if I was not careful. For this, I paid a painful price and had three teeth removed, two of which were wisdom teeth that should have been removed long ago.

Now I realize that brushing my teeth every day is not enough to protect my teeth. I also need to use dental floss, dental irrigators and other tools to thoroughly clean every corner of my teeth. In addition, regularly find a periodontal doctor for examination every year, timely detection and treatment of problems, is the fundamental way to protect teeth. This experience has made me more appreciative of my teeth and the importance of protecting them.
