What is the correct way to brush your teeth

Brushing teeth has become a daily necessity for us in our daily lives. We must brush our teeth correctly whether we wake up in the morning or go to bed at night. The correct brushing method will bring health to our mouth or gums, and it is also a great guarantee to prevent some dental diseases. However, sometimes some wrong brushing postures will not only not bring health to the teeth but may even endanger the health of the gums. Here we will introduce some correct brushing methods.

1. About the choice of toothbrush and toothpaste: a toothbrush with a smaller brush head (which can be rotated flexibly in the mouth), the bristles should preferably be soft and thin high-quality nylon threads (good resilience, poor water absorption and easy to dry, and strong wear resistance), the top of the bristles should be ground and oval, and the brush handle should be easy to grasp, and neither too thin nor too short is suitable. If it meets the above four conditions, it can be called a health toothbrush. Toothpaste Choose fluoride toothpaste containing an appropriate amount of fluoride.

2. Brushing your teeth usually takes about 3 minutes. Try to use warm water instead of cold water. Brush your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening, after getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night. Try not to eat after brushing your teeth at night. Decide whether to add one more time at noon according to your needs.

3. Before brushing your teeth, do not dip your toothbrush in water or rinse your mouth with water, as water will reduce the friction between the toothbrush, toothpaste and teeth.

4. Avoid brushing back and forth horizontally, as this will not only make it difficult to clean dirt, but will also cause serious damage to the teeth and easily cause wedge-shaped defects.

5. Do not brush your teeth immediately after a meal, especially after eating some acidic food. You should rinse your mouth with warm water before brushing.

6. Try to change your toothbrush once a month, and no longer than 3 months; you should also frequently change toothpaste to different brands and types.

7. There are several principles to follow when brushing your teeth: be thorough, use appropriate force, use the correct method, and massage the gums without damaging them.

The above are some correct ways to brush your teeth, but we must also remember that we must be careful and attentive when brushing our teeth, so as to effectively ensure the establishment of teeth. At the same time, we must also pay attention to the degree of damage to the toothbrush when brushing our teeth. Some toothbrushes will become rough over time, so we should replace the toothbrush in time.
