Pulpitis is one of the common oral diseases, accounting for about 10%-20% of the overall oral diseases. According to statistics from relevant international research institutions, it is more common among adults, especially those over 30 years old. As they age, their teeth become more susceptible to external stimuli and cause inflammation. At the same time, in some areas with backward sanitary conditions and weak oral protection awareness, the incidence of pulpitis is higher than that in European and American countries, accounting for 20% or more of local oral diseases. It is reported that poor oral hygiene habits are one of the biggest causes of pulpitis.
The pulp is a loose connective tissue containing nerves and blood vessels, located in the pulp cavity inside the tooth. Pulpitis is caused by bacteria invading the pulp after the hard tissue of the tooth is destroyed by bacterial acid production or other reasons. Pulpitis generally has obvious spontaneous pain or occasional dull pain. When the pain occurs, it cannot be clearly pointed out where the affected tooth is. The pain often radiates to the upper and lower jaw teeth or head and face on the same side of the affected tooth. Some patients will also experience aggravated pain due to temperature stimulation, showing symptoms of "hot pain and cold relief".
In addition to uncontrollable factors, such as the loss of tooth hard matter caused by eating hard and irregular foods, dental caries is the most common cause of loss of tooth hard tissue. Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a bacterial disease caused by the combination of Streptococcus mutans and other harmful bacteria to form a bacterial biofilm that corrodes teeth. Bacteria reproduce in the eutrophic and warm and humid environment of the oral cavity, decompose food residues to produce organic acids and ammonia, lower the oral pH environment, decompose tooth organic matter, decalcify and dissolve hard tissue, and gradually destroy the tooth surface, forming cavities and exposing the pulp.
The prevention and improvement of pulpitis are closely related to oral hygiene. The mouths of modern people are often exposed to sweets and high-calorie diets. The residual food contains a large amount of carbohydrates and sugar, which continuously provide power for bacteria to continuously transform the oral environment, making the mouth in an acidic state suitable for their survival for a long time. With the accumulation of time, pulpitis breaks out due to the loss of tooth hard tissue and the proliferation of oral bacteria.
It can be seen that the quality of oral hygiene is directly related to the incidence of pulpitis, and the most direct way to improve oral hygiene is brushing teeth and cleaning mucosa, but common cleaning methods are basically concentrated on teeth cleaning, and the methods for mucosal cleaning are few, single and ineffective, and cannot deeply destroy the bacterial biofilm. Oral bacteria that are not properly cleaned will fill the entire mouth again in just a few hours.
The reciprocating mechanical toothbrushes we are familiar with can only destroy and remove bacterial biofilms attached to teeth, but there has been no scientific cleaning method in the field of oral mucosa. TongueClear starts from the concept of oral mucosa cleaning, sorts out and studies the characteristics of mucosa, and develops oral airbag cleaner and biotechnology oral mucosa gel that clean mucosa at the physical level. The oral brush uses a silicone airbag brush head, and Flexconform adaptive technology makes the mouthwash soft and tough enough to fit the human oral structure. The scraping integrated cleaning texture increases the contact area with the oral mucosa, and massages the inner wall of the oral cavity while scraping to promote blood circulation, enhance oral resistance and the health of the oral mucosa. The oral brush destroys the bacterial biofilm attached to the oral cavity by physical means and removes food residues. At the same time, the lysozyme and glycosidase in the mouthwash destroy the living environment of bacteria while eliminating pathogens, thereby achieving long-term, efficient and deep cleaning of the overall oral hygiene environment.
Pulpitis is closely related to the oral environment and tooth hard tissues, but the loss of tooth hard substances is related to many factors. We cannot prevent foreign objects from damaging teeth, but we can control oral bacteria and biofilms, prevent early bacterial colonization and plaque formation of bacterial biofilms, and reduce damage to teeth caused by bacteria, thereby achieving overall prevention of oral problems.
