Will you, who have received 21st century education, accept it? Do you doubt their views? The editor here would like to explain to all mothers what else to pay attention to during confinement.

Does it mean we can’t maintain oral hygiene if our elders don’t allow us to brush our teeth? There are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. It is necessary to take good care of your own oral cavity.

First of all, mothers should pay attention to the importance of oral hygiene. During the confinement period, parents will often prepare various kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat to reward you who have just given birth to a baby. You are weak after childbirth and it is impossible to refuse these nutrients, otherwise your body will collapse. Moreover, to supplement nutrition after childbirth, you have to eat many meals a day, and they are all large amounts of nutritious substances, high in fat, protein, and nutrition. These often nourish bacteria well, especially when you cannot brush your teeth, as you will unconditionally feed the bacteria. Therefore, if you cannot brush your teeth, various diseases are likely to occur and your teeth may be easily damaged, which will indirectly affect your baby's health.

The first point is to maintain a balanced nutrition. Not only should you eat a lot of meat and fish, you should also eat more vegetables.

This way, there will be enough capital to fight against the bacteria caused by not brushing your teeth and prevent the occurrence of various diseases.

The second point is to rinse your mouth. After eating a nutritious snack, the mother must rinse her mouth carefully and several times. This can relieve bacterial growth, clean oral dirt, and effectively maintain oral hygiene.

Therefore, you should rinse your mouth promptly after meals to remove the residues left by fish and meat in your mouth, so that your teeth can have a healthy body. Only when your teeth don’t hurt can you have a good confinement and feel good. Otherwise, if your molars are injured, the toothache can be life-threatening.

The third method is more expensive, but the effect will be better. Use a confinement toothbrush, but do not let the mother avoid cold water, it can also effectively clean the teeth. Not only can it be dry cleaned, but you can also wash it with warm water. Warm water will not irritate the teeth and it is fast and effective. Cleans food debris between teeth more thoroughly than rinsing your mouth. Moreover, postpartum toothbrushes are made of more environmentally friendly materials, and disposable postpartum toothbrushes will not have any impact on the environment.

With a postpartum toothbrush, you can brush your teeth every morning and evening, but don’t reuse it. Effective methods to protect teeth can effectively resist bacterial growth caused by nutrition, protecting yourself and your baby. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to their oral hygiene, otherwise it will be bad if they have toothache or affect their babies in the future.
