After we get up in the morning, the two most important things are brushing our teeth and eating breakfast, but many people have a question, is it better to brush our teeth first and then eat, or eat first and then brush our teeth? Which of them is the practice of health science? Let's get to know!
Brush your teeth or have breakfast first in the morning?
1. Brush your teeth before breakfast.
This kind of people think that after a night's sleep, a lot of bacteria will grow in our mouth. If you don't brush your teeth, there is some peculiar smell, and you will feel very uncomfortable if you don't brush your teeth. So they think it's better to brush their teeth before breakfast, otherwise the bacteria in the mouth will enter our body with breakfast. And after brushing your teeth for a long time, the whole breath is fresh, which will open people's appetite and have a happy breakfast.
2. Eat breakfast first and then brush your teeth.
Such people also account for a large proportion. They think that after breakfast, there will be food residues left on their teeth anyway. After breakfast, you need to brush your teeth anyway, and some slag in the food will form some soft dirt on your teeth that is difficult to clean. If you brush your teeth before meals, you can't clean these soft dirt. So they think brushing their teeth after meals is more conducive to tooth health.
In fact, these two statements are not absolutely right or wrong. Although not brushing your teeth and eating breakfast will cause some bacteria to enter the body, these bacteria will be destroyed by our stomach acid after entering the body. If it is not destroyed by gastric acid, it doesn't matter if it enters the intestine. Our intestines are also rich in bacteria, which can play a balance with the bacteria entering the body and will not bring discomfort to the body.
How do we protect our teeth on a daily basis?
1. It is not recommended to buy toothpaste with too large capacity, and it can be changed frequently. Because large capacity toothpaste is generally used for a long time, bacteria may be exposed every time you open the toothpaste. The longer the time, the more bacteria you will be exposed to. Therefore, it is recommended to buy toothpaste only for one month.
2. In daily life, people who have the habit of drinking and smoking must pay attention to regular cleaning and tooth washing. Otherwise, it is easy to lead to periodontal disease. You should go to the stomatology department to check your teeth regularly. Then choose the frequency of tooth washing according to your own situation.
3. In daily life, you can eat more hard but easy to eat things, which can effectively exercise your teeth and gums. But choose according to your teeth. Don't blindly choose hard things, otherwise it will damage your teeth.
4. When there is a problem with your teeth, you must see a doctor in time. Otherwise, it will infect each other and affect other normal teeth.
5. In daily life, do not use your teeth to bite some too hard objects, such as opening bottle caps, biting walnuts, etc. for these laborious things, it is recommended to use special tools. There are many cases of broken teeth due to opening the bottle cap. In addition, when eating, you should pay attention to biting only with one side of your teeth and chewing on both sides in turn to avoid tooth strain.
