When we were young, our parents reminded us to "eat less sweets, tooth decay will eat your teeth." Theoretically, it is not tooth decay that eats your teeth, but the bacteria in your mouth. As life improves, various eating-related experiences increase, and a large amount of food and sugar residues will lead to a sharp increase in the incidence of dental caries. Relevant data show that more than 90% of adults have cavities in their permanent teeth.
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. In the acidic oral environment, a large number of bacteria will change the composition of saliva and reduce the cleaning and protection capabilities of saliva.
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.
TongueClear has found through research that early bacterial colonization can be prevented by reducing biofilm (the precursor of mature dental plaque), thereby preventing dental diseases. TongueClear develops products based on the oral cleaning concept of "frequent destruction of biofilm". Most people believe that high-frequency brushing can effectively clean the entire oral cavity, but biofilm is not only attached to teeth. Although high-frequency brushing has a certain cleaning effect, it can only remove biofilm on teeth. Excessive brushing can cause tooth damage. From the perspective of the entire oral cavity, we need to pay more attention to the cleaning of the mucosa.
TongueClear found that using the index finger to clean teeth and gums, clean the tongue, and then rinse the mouth with water can effectively destroy oral biofilms in physical oral cleaning. Frequent biofilm interference can more effectively destroy early bacterial colonization than multiple tooth cleanings. TongueClear is based on the theory of oral mucosal cleaning and designs oral brushes based on the characteristics of fingers. The food-grade silicone airbag brush head adaptively fits the entire oral cavity to clean the entire oral cavity. Physical cleaning safely and efficiently removes biofilms and food residues in the oral cavity. The scraping integrated brush head can also massage the inner wall of the oral cavity on the basis of cleaning the mucosa to promote microcirculation and enhance oral resistance. On the basis of physical cleaning, TongueClear develops a oral cleaning gel containing lysozyme and glycosidase based on biotechnology according to the overall characteristics of the oral cavity. On the basis of physical cleaning, it kills harmful bacteria, decomposes residual sugar in the oral cavity, destroys the living space of bacteria, and achieves the purpose of long-term bacteria control. TongueClear improves the overall oral hygiene conditions. A good oral environment can be more conducive to the secretion of saliva and neutralize acidic substances in the oral cavity. Calcium, phosphorus and other substances in saliva can promote tooth remineralization, thereby achieving the effect of auxiliary treatment.
It is impossible for the oral cavity to become a sterile environment, and it is even more impossible to completely eliminate bacteria. Doing so will instead reduce the oral cavity's resistance and lead to the growth of fungi. The oral mucosa is delicate and sensitive. TongueClear uses physical and biological technologies to clean the entire oral cavity safely, efficiently and for a long time without irritating the mucosa.
