I don’t think we have enough information about the procedures to be done to protect oral and dental health. I chose such a topic to review our knowledge on this subject and remind us of the practices we do not know or know wrong. Toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss needed for oral and dental care Let’s take a brief look at their application.
First of all, what should the shape of our brush be? The top of our brush should be straight (not zigzag, curved, etc.) and short. Such brushes do not harm the surrounding tissue and do not cause nausea. The plane passing under the brush should be parallel to the handle. Put toothpaste on the brush and dry without wetting the brush. The brushing process should always be from the gums to the teeth (first the gums, then the teeth). That is, the brush should be applied not only to the teeth, but also to the gums. Also, the chewing surfaces of the teeth and tongue should be carefully brushed. After this process, the brush and mouth should be thoroughly rinsed, and the next It should be stored hygienically and cleanly in an upright position in a glass or carrier so that it can dry until use.
The brushing process should not take less than two minutes and should not take too long. Ideal brushing should be done in the morning, after lunch, after meals and at bedtime. This process both makes the gums healthy, prevents inflammation, and neutralizes the acid formed in the mouth by removing food residues on the teeth. This eliminates a significant part of the factors that cause caries formation.
Naturally, the brush cannot clean the contact points of the teeth. We have to use dental floss.
Especially after puberty, there is an accumulation of calculus between the teeth and gums, much more. causes.
What I have explained above is the part of oral and dental health that we can do on our own. Despite all these, there may be problems in the mouth and teeth depending on the congestion of the teeth, saliva structure, genetic factors, systemic diseases, our eating habits and many more. It can be solved painlessly, effortlessly and much more economically. For this, every individual should routinely go to the DENTIST at least once every 3-4 months (even if he thinks there is no problem) and go through the check. If these methods, which I have briefly summarized, are applied, an aesthetic smile and trouble-free teeth will make you happy and healthy throughout your life.
