Advantages: Brushing teeth is the main means of self-removing dental plaque, an important self-oral health care method to keep the oral cavity clean, and the most important means for people to remove plaque and prevent the occurrence, development and recurrence of periodontal disease.

Disadvantages: Daily brushing can only remove about 70% of tooth plaque. Each tooth has five surfaces. Usually, brushing can only clean three of them thoroughly, but the plaque and tartar in the gap between two adjacent teeth are difficult to remove.

Dental floss can easily reach the narrow gaps between teeth that are difficult to reach with brushing, rinsing and flossing, effectively remove food debris, dental plaque and soft scale between teeth, thoroughly clean teeth without damaging gums, and is safe and reliable.

Disadvantages: Flossing is not easy and requires strong and flexible hands to move around in the mouth. In addition, if the area cleaned by dental floss accidentally becomes ulcerated, these residues will remain, irritate the gums and cause inflammation, and eventually cause the disease.

Teeth cleaning method: teeth cleaning

Advantages: Regular teeth cleaning can not only thoroughly remove plaque and tartar on the teeth, keep the periodontal tissue healthy, and prevent and treat periodontal disease, but also make it easier to detect small, subtle dental diseases during teeth cleaning.

Disadvantages: During the teeth cleaning operation, the doctor has to constantly move the working head. If the operation is improper, pressure is applied or the tooth surface is kept for too long, small scratches will be left on the tooth surface. Generally, fine rough surfaces can be seen under a microscope. Such scratches can be compensated by polishing.

Disadvantages: Mouthwash is only a supplement to brushing and cannot completely replace brushing, because mouthwash cannot remove dental plaque. It is only suitable when the mouth is not clean or there is bad breath.
