Do you want to protect your teeth? One suggestion is to use teeth tapping exercise .

Teeth tapping is basically the tapping of the upper and lower teeth on one another.

It existed more than 1,500 years ago and was mentioned by Ge Hong, a Jin Dynasty specialist in maintaining health in his book Bao Pu Zi ( The Book of Master Baopu). Here, it mentioned that ” the teeth will never get loose if they are tapped for more than 300 times every morning”

Interestingly, in China, it was found that many people with long life have a habit of gritting their teeth during urination and defecation. By gritting the teeth, massage is applied to their roots, promoting the local blood circulation and nutrient supply and thus strengthening the teeth. Since the digestive system starts from the teeth, it is certainly beneficial to one’s health to have good teeth. That is the “secret” of longevity to teeth tapping.

Steps:

  1. After getting up in the morning or in the evening or before going to sleep, tap on the molars firsts, the incisors next and then the cannines. They should be tapped separately because they are not on the same horizontal plane.
  2.  After the tapping, lick the gums and buccal mucosa with thetongue to simulate secretion of saliva. Garge with the saliva several times and then swallow it. In traditional Chinese medicine, saliva is considered a kind of body fluid that should be not expectorated.
  3. Then massage the gums with the tongue, thereby improving the gingival blood circulation.
  4. Then grit the teeth and puff out the cheeks to increase salivary secretion. Swallow the saliva in several gulps.
  5. This teeth-protection exercise can be done in about 10 minutes with forty to fifty repetitions of the abovementioned actions. The more repetitions the better the results.
