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%. 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 to rinse our mouths and use the glycosidase and lysozyme in it to control the 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.
