Daily oral care steps

It is not difficult to see from the structure of the tooth cavity that the gums are like the muscles that tightly wrap the teeth. They are the foundation of the stability of the teeth. Healthy gums and teeth are closely connected, making bacterial dirt impossible to deal with, so it is particularly important to protect the health of the oral cavity. The widely recommended oral care method generally includes three steps:

1. First, brush your teeth every day. The best time to brush your teeth is within half an hour after eating. If possible, try to brush your teeth immediately after three meals. In this way, it can not only freshen the breath, but also prevent food residues from providing nutrients to the bacteria on the tooth surface. The brushing time is controlled at 2 minutes each time. Brushing up and down protects the gums. The vigorous horizontal brushing method used by many people will cause excessive wear on the roots and stimulate the receding of the gums. When brushing your teeth, you should pay special attention to the position of the inner and posterior lower front teeth to avoid the formation of calculus. After brushing your teeth, rinse the toothbrush with clean water several times, dry the water on the bristles, and store it upside down.

2. Use dental floss and tongue coating brush together after brushing your teeth. The food residue between the teeth is difficult to remove by brushing the teeth, which will cause the accumulation and corruption of harmful substances in the deep layers of the teeth. The tone produced by this relationship is obvious. Therefore, flossing after brushing your teeth can thoroughly clean your teeth. Pay special attention to the hygiene of the tongue coating. The tongue coating should not be brushed excessively. Frequent scraping of the tongue coating will damage the tongue papilla, stimulate the taste buds, cause numbness on the back of the tongue, loss of taste, and loss of appetite. Use a special tongue coating brush to clean the tongue coating. Ordinary toothbrushes can also damage the tongue coating.

3. Regular oral inspections and teeth cleaning. Stomatologists recommend cleaning teeth every six months or a year. And do a comprehensive oral examination. In this way, oral problems can be eliminated in the bud, which is simple and effective, and does not cost much.
