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 Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus 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.
