Each of us dreams of having healthy white teeth. And the reason lies not only in the panic fear of the dentist. A bright smile helps you connect with people, makes you more attractive and increases your self-esteem. In addition, dental health is one of the key factors determining the general condition of the body. Teeth eaten away by caries are a constant source of pathogenic microbes entering your gastrointestinal tract. Damaged teeth, moreover, cope worse with their intended purpose - grinding food before it enters the stomach. And this, in turn, directly affects the state of the digestive organs. As you know, a disease is easier to prevent than to treat. And the main method of preventing diseases of teeth and gums is to clean them.
When and how long should you brush your teeth? To many, this question may seem stupid and strange, since everyone knows that teeth need to be brushed twice a day - morning and evening. However, this is not entirely true. A recent survey showed that many people mistakenly believe that they need to brush their teeth immediately after getting up, which is completely wrong. Teeth should be brushed after breakfast so that they remain clean until the next meal (lunch or dinner). The same rule applies in the evening - we brush our teeth after dinner so that they remain clean all night.
Dentists recommend spending at least three to four minutes brushing your teeth per session. During this time, you will have time to treat the upper and lower jaw several times. Pay special attention to the most difficult to reach places - wisdom teeth and the inner surfaces of the front teeth, which intensively accumulate plaque and tartar. The optimal direction of brush movement is in a circle.
