Dentists pointed out that the correct brushing method can effectively remove the plaque and soft dirt of teeth and periodontal tissue, and can play a role in preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases. Improper brushing can also damage teeth,
1. The labial brushing method of upper and lower anterior teeth is the same as that of posterior teeth. When brushing the palatal surface of the upper anterior teeth and the lingual surface of the lower anterior teeth, the head of the head can be firmly fixed, and the upper teeth can be brushed from top to bottom and the lower teeth from bottom to top. When brushing the occlusal surface of the upper and lower teeth, place the toothbrush on the occlusal surface of the teeth, and brush back and forth in the horizontal direction with a little force.
2. When brushing the mandibular posterior teeth, place the toothbrush on the mandibular posterior teeth with the bristles still at a 45 degree angle with the teeth. Rotate the brush head and brush from the bottom to the top. Repeat for about 10 times for each part. The brushing method is the same inside and outside.
3. When brushing the maxillary posterior teeth, place the toothbrush on the maxillary posterior teeth so that the bristles and teeth are at a 45 degree angle. Then turn the brush head and brush from top to bottom. Brush each part for about 10 times, with the same brush method inside and outside.
The time of brushing teeth should be done in the morning and at night before going to bed, and insist on gargling after meals. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to brush every part of the teeth. Brushing your teeth before going to bed at night is more important because it can remove the food residue and dirt accumulated on the teeth during the three meals of the day. Otherwise, in the sleep state at night, bacteria grow in the mouth, dirt and saliva calcium salt deposit to form plaque and calculus, which will cause dental caries and periodontal disease for a long time.
