How to treat postpartum diseases: 1. Before brushing your teeth, soak the toothbrush in warm water to soften it. Brush twice a day, in the morning and before bed, which is important for postpartum care. Rinse your mouth after meals, and if possible, use medicated liquid for rinsing. Do not eat anything after rinsing your mouth after dinner and after brushing your teeth at night, especially sweets. If you have a habit of eating late-night snacks, brush your teeth again after having them. Postpartum women must develop the good habit of brushing their teeth every day. 2. The method of brushing teeth should not be "reckless" or horizontal brushing. Instead, use vertical brushing. Start from the top down, bottom up for lower teeth, back and forth on the occlusal surface, and both inside and outside must be brushed to maintain the cleanliness of the teeth. 3. Within three days after delivery, the finger-brushing method is best as it promotes blood circulation, strengthens teeth, and prevents tooth loosening. Specific operation method: Wash your right index finger, or wrap it with clean gauze, then squeeze toothpaste onto the finger, and wipe up and down like using a toothbrush, then massage the gums several times with the index finger. 4. Mouthwash with medicated liquid: Use decoction or soaking of Chinese herbal medicine water, then rinse your mouth with the medicated liquid. For example, soak 6 grams of tangerine peel and 1 gram of fine cinnamon in boiling water, remove the residue when it's warm, and use it for mouthwash, which can treat bad breath and gum swelling.
