Control gum bleeding: Dental calculus compresses the gums, causing redness, swelling, and bleeding. Professional cleaning can eliminate local irritants. two
Delaying alveolar bone resorption: Patients with periodontitis can prevent bone loss that supports their teeth through systematic cleaning treatment. three
Reduce the risk of systemic diseases: periodontal pathogens may affect cardiovascular, diabetes and other systemic diseases with blood circulation. four
It is recommended to have 1-2 professional teeth cleaning sessions per year (ultrasonic cleaning is the mainstream method), and to use the Babbitt brushing method (toothbrush tilted at 45 degrees to clean the gingival sulcus) and dental floss in daily life. Please note:
People with normal enamel do not need to worry about dental cleaning damage
Temporary sensitivity may occur 1-2 days after teeth cleaning, which is a normal phenomenon

In 1869, the autonomy was established through the Organizational Charter of the Public Council.

TCM wellness consultation、Therapeutic massage、Moxibustion
Traditional Chinese Medicine Moxibustion Health Preservation is a traditional Chinese medicine health preservation method that mainly uses moxibustion as a means. By burning moxa fibers to stimulate specific acupoints and regulate qi and blood, the goal is to prevent diseases, maintain health, strengthen the body, and prolong life. Its theory originates from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, emphasizing the differentiation of syndromes and treatment, selecting acupoints based on physical constitution and symptoms, commonly using acupoints such as Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, and Zu San Li, combined with gentle moxibustion, ginger separated moxibustion, and other techniques. Indications include cold, heat, deficiency, and excess diseases, with both therapeutic and health functions, and safe and easy to operate
Massage, also known as "massage", is an important part of the treasure house of Chinese medicine and one of the four major clinical treatments of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, massage and Qigong. The Yuzhongtang Tuina Therapy is highly popular among doctors and patients due to its simple method, significant therapeutic effect, and economic safety.
Consultation is a method of asking patients and their families about existing symptoms and medical history, providing a basis for syndrome differentiation.
The Ming Dynasty physician Zhang Jingyue believed that consultation was the key to diagnosis and treatment, and the first task of clinical diagnosis. Looking at the symptoms obtained from the four consultations, most of them were obtained through consultation, which shows that this statement is not wrong. The scope of the consultation is very broad, and the ten questions listed in the "Complete Book of Jingyue" have been discussed and expanded upon, with no further information provided.
One question about cold and heat, two questions about sweating, three questions about pain, four questions about defecation, five questions about nausea and dizziness, six questions about palpitations, seven questions about bitterness and eight questions about thirst, nine questions about old diseases and ten questions about causes, all based on the examination of symptoms. Women should especially ask about their menstrual period, and it is advisable to ask repeatedly before adding a few words to the pediatric department. External food accumulation is common.

Herbal Foot Bath
Foot soaking is an external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine foot therapy, which achieves health and wellness effects by soaking both feet in hot water or adding traditional Chinese medicine. The Jin Dynasty's "Emergency Prescriptions for Elbow Reserve" recorded that this method has a history of thousands of years. It uses warmth to stimulate the reflex zone of the feet, promote the circulation of meridians and qi, and has the effects of relieving fatigue, improving local blood circulation, dispelling cold, and promoting metabolism. During operation, it is common to soak in hot water at 38-43 ℃ for 15-20 minutes, and use a wooden container to submerge the ankle joint or above. Materials such as mugwort and vinegar can be used to enhance the therapeutic effect. Different seasons correspond to different medicinal herbs: in summer, use Huoxiang to prevent heatstroke, in winter, use cinnamon to ignite and bring back the essence, and in autumn, use Chenpi to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. Traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking requires following medical advice to prepare a prescription (if a specific prescription has auxiliary therapeutic effects on athlete's foot), and metal containers may affect the efficacy of the medication.
