How To Care For The Oral Cavity

Understanding oral knowledge can help maintain oral health and avoid oral diseases. However, many people's oral care just stays at the level of frequent brushing and cleaning, which is very weak. In addition to dental caries and tooth decay, many people’s teeth have the phenomenon.

How to take care of your mouth

1. Develop good eating habits

It is necessary to reduce the frequency of eating sugary foods, because there are many bacteria that accumulate on the edges of teeth and gums. The bacteria use sugar to produce acid, which will erode the teeth and cause dental caries.

2. Establish good oral hygiene habits

Maintain oral hygiene at all times, master the correct method of brushing your teeth, rinse your mouth after meals, brush your teeth in the morning and evening, change your toothbrush regularly, and use dental floss to thoroughly remove food residues between your teeth.

3. Correct brushing angle and action

Tilt the toothbrush at 45 degrees and press it between the tooth surface and the gums. The bristles will enter the gingival sulcus and between the teeth as much as possible. Then brush vertically along the teeth and gently rotate the brush head. Do not use too much force. To be brushed, brush for three minutes each time.

4. Brush the outside of the teeth

Clean the outer sides of the upper and lower teeth with the correct brushing action and the appropriate angle. The upper teeth are brushed from top to bottom and the lower teeth are brushed from bottom to top. Each bit can be brushed 6-8 times.

5. Brush the inside of the teeth

When brushing the inner side of the teeth, still follow the principle of vertical brushing along the interdental space and gently rotating. Don't just pay attention to brushing the outer side of the teeth, and neglect the cleaning of the inside of the teeth.

6. Brush the chewing surface of your teeth

Brush the chewing surfaces of the upper and lower teeth with appropriate force in the front and back directions.
