• Do not brush your teeth too often, twice a day is enough. After eating, it is useful to rinse your mouth, use dental floss, and this will be enough.
• The cleansing procedure must be carried out for at least 2 minutes, carefully brushing all segments of the oral cavity with a brush.

When and how to properly brush your teeth

We are all used to brushing our teeth in the morning, but in the evening, brushing is also necessary. It is not enough to rinse your mouth with a balm, because food particles get stuck between the teeth. There are several reasons why it is worth taking the time to clean.

• During the day, bacteria accumulate in the mouth. And if you do not make certain efforts, during the night they actively multiply. This leads to caries, the enamel is destroyed, as bacteria secrete acid.
• If you brush your teeth in the evening, then in the morning bad breath will be much less. It is better to carry out the procedure an hour after dinner.
• If you do not remove plaque, it will eventually turn into a stone that cannot be cleaned on your own.
• Electric brushes have proven themselves very well. They work in several directions, are convenient and easy to use.
• With a regular brush, it is important to perform the movements correctly. They should be directed up and down, pushing out so that the villi penetrate between the teeth. Perform circular movements, trying to cover all hard-to-reach places. Horizontal movements are ineffective, although they are most convenient to perform.
• In the morning, it is better to brush your teeth immediately, and after eating, rinse your mouth with a special tool.
• Be sure to floss after eating, especially if there are crowns or gaps between teeth.
• The choice of brush is also individual. It all depends on the condition of the enamel and the health of the gums. It is better to consult your dentist.
