Basic skills in dental hygiene

Correct brushing method

Proper brushing is one of the easiest ways to keep your teeth clean. To brush your teeth, position the bristles at a 45-degree angle near the gum line. Make sure the gum line and the tooth surface are in contact with the bristles. Brush the outer surface of the teeth, back and forth, up and down, and gently to avoid bleeding. Place the bristles at a 45-degree angle, then move up and down, moving up and down to clean the inner surfaces of the teeth and gums. Finally, brush the surface of the tongue, as well as the top of the mouth, to eliminate bacteria that cause poor width.

It is desirable to brush at least twice a day to avoid acid accumulation during bacterial decomposition of food. If you are too busy to do this, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after meals to reduce the amount of food used as a bacterial substrate.

Flossing

Sometimes, we think this is a chore, and we often forget to do it after brushing our teeth, especially when we rush out the door or go to bed. However, regular flossing can help remove food and other harmful substances that cannot be done by brushing alone. Flossing allows you to reach deeper into the teeth that the toothbrush does not reach or the teeth that are rinsed with mouthwash. Floss should be done at least once a day.

Avoid smoking

You will be helpful to your teeth. First, it prevents you from having oral cancer and periodontal problems. Next, it will allow you to avoid the myriad of adverse effects of agents who hide the smell of tobacco. For example, when you smoke, you may chew candy, drink tea or coffee to cover up the smell and smoke. This is twice the amount of damage caused.

Limit drinks such as alcohol, soda and coffee

These drinks are rich in phosphorus and require a healthy mouth, but too much of this mineral can reduce the body's calcium content. This can lead to dental hygiene problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. Beverages containing additives - such as corn syrup and food dyes - can discolor the pearl white teeth and make them look dull.

The best drink is

- Milk, strengthen your teeth, make your enamel stronger, make your smile healthier and more beautiful,

- Of course there is water, which keeps your body moist longer than sugary drinks.

Taking calcium and vitamins good for your body

Your teeth need a lot of calcium, and so are bones. You can do this by drinking milk and fortified orange juice, as well as other dairy products - broccoli, cheese and yogurt. You can also drink calcium supplements, depending on your age and needs. Both calcium and vitamin D need to maintain the health of the teeth and gums. Vitamin B complex is needed to protect gums and teeth from bleeding and cracking. In order to keep your teeth healthy, you also need copper, iodine, iron, potassium and zinc.
