Don't wait for a toothache to find that you've brushed your teeth wrong. Today Xiaobian tells you how to brush your teeth is the right way, and some common mistakes in life.

Correct method of brushing teeth

When brushing the palatal surface of the upper anterior teeth and the lingual surface of the lower anterior teeth, the brush head can be firmly established, the upper teeth can be brushed from top to bottom, and the lower teeth can be brushed from bottom to top. When brushing the occlusal surface of the upper and lower teeth, put the toothbrush on the occlusal surface of the teeth, brush back and forth with a little force in the horizontal direction, and clean the pit and fissure space on the occlusal surface.

Brush your teeth every morning and evening. If possible, brush your teeth immediately after each meal. At least rinse your mouth with water for at least 3 minutes each time. Toothbrush should choose soft bristles, flat brush surface, small brush head, rounded brush tip. After brushing, wash the toothbrush, put the brush head upward into the cup, and change a new toothbrush every 1-3 months.

Incorrect brushing

Brush your teeth with too cold water: the main ingredients in toothpaste are friction agents and fluoride. Laboratory studies have found that the optimal temperature for these effective ingredients to work is about 37 ℃. Brushing teeth in cold water can cause tooth ache in dentin sensitive people, and it is not conducive to the activity of effective substances in toothpaste.

Brushing time is too short: a lot of brushing time is too short to achieve good cleaning effect. Brushing time should be no less than three minutes, to ensure that every side of each tooth is clean.

Too much force when brushing: if we brush our teeth too much force, it may hurt our teeth and lead to gingival bleeding. In addition, improper brushing methods are more likely to cause wedge-shaped defects.

Horizontal brushing: horizontal brushing not only can not completely remove the garbage in the teeth gap, but also may lead to wedge-shaped defect of tooth root, gingival injury, dentin sensitivity and other problems.

Oral health is very important to us. Only when we clean our teeth correctly, can the cavity be healthy and reduce the cavity problem.
