2. The "egg membrane temporary filling method" circulated on the Internet has been proven to be ineffective and actually increases the risk of infection.
3. Regular oral examinations can detect problems such as cracked teeth in advance (data shows that those who clean their teeth twice a year reduce the rate of accidental tooth damage by 62%)
