The cavities of the roots, the loss of dry mouth and teeth are among the main challenges
The increase in life expectancy brought a warning: taking care of oral health is essential for aging with quality. It is estimated that over 60% of the elderly in Brazil have some type of periodontal disease and that dental loss reaches about 41% of this population, according to IBGE data and the Brazilian society of geriatrics and gerontology.
“In addition to compromising chewing and language, bad oral health can aggravate systemic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Therefore, the maintenance of good oral health habits is also fundamental in this period”, explains the dental surgeon Hugo Lewgoy, doctor of the University of São Paulo (USP) and Scapifice Curaden at Curaden Swiss.
The most common problems in the elderly include radical cavities, favored by gingival retraction, periodontal disease, xerostomy (the famous dry mouth often caused by drugs) and motor difficulties that compromise brushing.
“These physiological changes require an adaptation in the hygiene routine, both in the technique and in the choice of products,” explains the dental surgeon.
The first step is the correct brushing. Hugo Lewgoy recommends bristle brush abroad, such as CS 5460 or Curaprox Velvet Brush, which cleans efficiently without attacking sensitive gums.
“The brushing should be performed at least two or three times a day, with the toothpaste for the prevention of caries. Especially in cases of dry fats, a toothpaste without sodium sulphate (LSS) is indicated, a type of detergent that is incorporated in the formula of these products to facilitate cleaning, forms the foam and give a sensation of freshness.
Another caution is with oral swimming with alcohol, which can also aggravate xerostomy. “Although many of the oral rins available on the market contain alcohol in their formulation, there are some products, such as the Curaprox Perioplus line, which do not transport the ingredient. The products still bring Citrox, consisting of natural bioflavoids extracted for the biofinga periods, processed for the use of Shaart -elaborate.
Developmental cleaning is also fundamental in this phase to avoid the accumulation of bacterial plate between the teeth, where the conventional brush does not reach. “For this, interdental brushes are preferable to the interdental floss, since they offer more ease for those who have motor limits and, if used correctly, significantly reduce the incidence of gingivitis,” says Hugo. By cleaning these more difficult areas, brushes such as Cps Prime act above all to maintain the balance of the microbioma.
The third step involves attention to language: Lingual Saburra, common in the elderly, increases the risk of halitosis and infections.
“The Accumulation of Langal Saburra, that Whit Plate That Arises on the Tongue, Favors the Proliferation of Harmful Bacteria, Which are eventable for Producing Bad Odors. To Remove Langal Saburra, it is Recommended to Add, in the routine of Oral Hygiene, Instruments Aimed at the tongue at the tongue Hygiene, Such As the Ehm Tung System, Composed of the Ehm, Componed of the HMS Tung Brush and Tung Gel “, underlines the expert, who explains that the brush has slightly firm brigs compared to conventional teeth brushes, making it more effective in penetrating the cracks and in the irregularities of the language to remove lingual Saburra.
“The gel has zinc chloride in its formula, which facilitates the removal of this Saberra and the neutralization of unpleasant smell of smell,” says Hugo Lewgoy.
Finally, the dental surgeon recalls that oral hydration is essential, with small quantities of water during the day. “Prevention is increasingly cheaper and less painful than the treatment. Incorporate appropriate tools, such as Curaprox brushes abroad, interdental brushes and dry solutions for the mouth, not only an aesthetic detail, but a fundamental step for aging to be healthy, while preserving vital functions and quality of life”, concludes Hugo.
It inspires the transformation into the world of work, business, society. It is the creation of the compass, content and the connection agency.
