"Good teeth, good appetite, double the body, eating double the fragrance." It can be seen that dental health is the first step for people to improve their quality of life. And brushing is an important part of dental care that cannot be ignored. In today's fast-paced life, time often symbolizes efficiency and money.
The fast-paced lifestyle has made people neglect good habits. People spend less than 1 minute brushing their teeth, and this brushing method not only does not have a health effect, but also damages the teeth and gums. The purpose of brushing is to clean the oral cavity, remove soft white deposits, food debris, and some dental plaque, rather than a form or process. Many people have poor dental health, which is related to their incorrect brushing methods. Incorrect brushing methods can cause plaque to accumulate in areas that have not been brushed for a long time, which not only affects health but also affects aesthetics. However, proper brushing can not only reduce pathogenic factors in the oral environment and enhance the tissue's ability to resist disease, but also prevent various oral diseases, especially for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and dental caries. Cleaning each surface of the teeth, including the buccal (cheek) surface, the lingual (tongue and palate) surface, and the occlusal surface, is a detail worth special attention during brushing. This requires at least 3 minutes. Slowing down the brushing action can thoroughly clean the teeth and oral environment, which is beneficial for eliminating gingivitis, killing viruses and bacteria, and protecting the heart, brain, and lungs. At the same time, a sufficient amount of brushing time is also beneficial for the absorption of medicinal ingredients in toothpaste. Developing the habit of brushing in the morning and evening and rinsing after meals is the basis for maintaining oral hygiene and the premise for maintaining good health. At the same time, we should also pay attention to small details in life, such as cleaning the toothbrush after each use and trying to shake off the water on the bristles. After brushing, the toothbrush head should be placed upwards in a rinse cup, preferably in a dry and ventilated place. Remember not to put the used toothbrush in a sealed container. When brushing, do not brush horizontally, as it can cause hard tissue damage to the teeth called "wedge-shaped defects." Brushing vertically can brush food residues into the gaps between the gums, causing gum infection. In conclusion, the healthiest brushing method is to brush in a circular motion, drawing an "M" shape for the upper teeth and a "W" shape for the lower teeth. This can not only clean the dental plaque effectively but also not damage the teeth and gums. A friendly reminder: Everyone wants to have a set of clean and beautiful teeth, but is it better to have whiter teeth? It is understood that when dentists choose the color of dentures for patients, there is a special color matching series. This is because our skin tones vary, and the whiteness of each person's teeth should be coordinated with their skin. So, don't blindly pursue "whiteness," but choose a tooth color that suits your skin tone. Only then can you achieve a natural and coordinated beauty.
