A story of oral destruction bacteria that can lead to tongue resection and fear of oral cancer recurrence

The guest on this broadcast had a history of undergoing surgery for oral cancer and was particularly careful with their oral health management.

Dr. Myungjin Chung examined the guest's daily life with the MC and panelists and discussed what daily habits can be a burden on oral health and what aspects should be careful and managed.

Excessive oral care can be a burden on the gums

While it's important to keep your mouth clean, brushing your teeth with strong force can cause unnecessary stimulation to your gums and teeth.

Having a habit of pressing the toothbrush hard doesn't necessarily mean that plaque is removed more effectively.

It's essential to brush your teeth with the right amount of force and method to avoid repeated stimulation on your gums.

When checking oral care methods at a dental clinic in Dangjin, it's not just about managing your teeth 'more strongly' or 'more often', but rather finding a brushing method that suits your tooth arrangement and gum condition.

Oral care is more important in terms of the right method and consistency than intensity.

Is there a relationship between oral health, the first line of defense for immunity, and overall health?

The mouth is a part of the body that is constantly exposed to the external environment through food, air, and other factors.

There are various microorganisms in the mouth, and if plaque is not managed properly, inflammation can occur in the gums or periodontal disease can progress.

Periodontitis is a disease in which inflammatory changes occur in the tissues that support the teeth, including the gums and alveolar bone.

If you experience dry mouth or changes in your tongue, it's also important to check your oral environment.

Dr. Myungjin Chung's daily routine for preventing oral cancer

Avoid foods high in sugar, thorough brushing and oral care, and regular check-ups and oral harmful bacteria tests

Oral care is not necessarily good just because it's done a lot. It's essential to manage your teeth and gums consistently in a way that suits your condition, and if you notice any unusual changes, it's crucial to identify the cause.

Guardians Dental Dangjin will continue to strive to provide patients with information on oral health and how to practice it in their daily lives through various activities. The video can be found on the JTBC website.
