It is recommended not to brush your teeth immediately after eating and drinking acidic beverages. It is best to wait for the demineralized dental tissue to be mineralized after 1 hour. If it is really inconvenient, you can chew xylitol-containing chewing gum. It does not produce acidic substances that cause insect teeth, can reduce plaque and tartar, or use floss.

mouthwash cannot replace brushing her teeth. Although mouthwash can remove food residues and a small amount of soft stains in the mouth, no oral health care measures can replace brushing.

Healthy periodontal brushing will not bleed, and bleeding from brushing is an early warning signal for periodontal disease.
Will there be spontaneous bleeding in the gums? There are mainly two aspects: one is caused by oral diseases. The oral cavity is an environment full of various bacteria. Many bacteria gather together to form plaque bacteria. If the oral cavity is not clean, a large amount of plaque will form tartars that stimulate the gums after a long period of time. The surface of the tartar is rough and can absorb more bacteria, which will continuously stimulate periodontal tissue, causing inflammation of the gums, and dilate and congestion. On the other hand, some systemic diseases can also cause spontaneous bleeding of the gums, which may be related to blood system diseases, diabetes , cardiovascular diseases, abnormal liver and kidney function, tumors and other diseases. The pathogenic method is usually the decrease in resistance to local stimuli caused by the decline of systemic immunity, which induces gingivitis. For oral health, you must regularly perform "physical examinations" for your teeth to detect problems early and treat them early.

The current mainstream practice is still in accordance with the recommendations of the American Dental Association (ADA): the toothbrush needs to be changed at least once every 3-4 months, because most people use the toothbrush for about 3 months and the bristles will be bent and worn, which will affect the effect of cleaning teeth.

When brushing the posterior teeth of the mandibular teeth, place the toothbrush on the posterior teeth of the mandibular teeth, and the bristles are still at a 45-degree angle to the teeth. Turn the brush head and brush from bottom to top. Repeat each part about 10 times, and the brushing method inside and outside is the same.
▶▷▶▷ Misunderstanding 6: College student Xiaomi thinks that he does not smoke or drink, brushes his teeth every day, and his teeth are very healthy. What is teeth cleaning? Don't waste my money!
First of all, no matter how serious a person is in brushing his teeth in daily life, there are always some places that are not easy to brush, such as the gaps near the two teeth and the inner side of all teeth, which are easy to remain soft dirt .
Second, even if you brush your teeth effectively, new plaque will still form on the surface of the teeth after 30 minutes. The minerals in the saliva will mineralize it, which will form tartar. Once tartar is formed, it cannot be removed by brushing your teeth alone.
Third, the plaque and tartar on the tooth surface are the culprits for our oral odor and bleeding gums in . What we call "tooth washing" is to remove these plaque and tartars from the tooth surface, just like rubbing off mud balls on your body when you take a bath.
