If it meets the above four conditions, it can be called a “health toothbrush”. 2, choose toothpaste Fluoride toothpaste is the first choice. Because the right amount of fluoride can reduce the solubility of enamel (commonly known as enamel), enhance the structural strength of enamel crystals, enhance the hardness of the teeth, and promote the remineralization of mildly demineralized enamel can play a role in the prevention of dental caries. However, if the human body intake of fluoride is too much, will have an adverse effect on health, it is recommended that children under 3 years of age should be cautious of fluoride toothpaste, 4 to 6 years old children should be used under the guidance of adults, fluoride toothpaste should not be too much, each time the amount of about the size of a soybean can be. Time not less than 3 minutes The purpose of brushing is to remove plaque, tartar, food debris and pigmentation, to keep the mouth clean, while massaging the gums, enhance periodontal health. There are many ways to brush teeth, no matter which method, all sides of the teeth should be brushed to. At present, we advocate more is “horizontal short-distance vibration brushing method” (i.e. Bass method). This method of brushing allows the bristles to reach into the gingival sulcus and adjacent surfaces of the teeth, aligning the area where plaque is most likely to adhere to, and short-distance horizontal fluttering, which can effectively remove plaque. With the “Bass method” of brushing the crowd, should pay attention to the following essentials: the bristles will be placed at the junction of the teeth and gums, and the surface of the teeth at a 45-degree angle, the level of gently trembling, and then brush up and down along the tooth gap, not to miss everything; with the upper end of the bristles brushing the upper and lower front teeth on the inner side of the teeth of the occlusal surfaces should be brushed back and forth; and finally don’t forget to brush the tongue, so that the breath Fresher breath. It is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day, 10 times for each part (5 times back and forth), and the brushing time varies from person to person, but generally should not be less than 3 minutes. Correct steps 1, first brush the outer surface of the teeth will be brushed with the toothbrush bristles and the surface of the teeth into 45 degrees, diagonally placed and lightly pressed on the teeth and gums of the junction, gently do a small arc back and forth brushing, the upper row of teeth down, the lower row of teeth to the top of the brushing, pay attention to the light brushing of the gums, proper massage can promote its blood circulation. 2, brush teeth occlusal surface Hold the toothbrush flat, moderate strength back and forth brush teeth occlusal surface, health care toothbrush bristles can play a unique role in different parts of the unique role, respectively, in-depth cleaning of the tooth surface and interdental crevices; flexible and thin brush head, so that it is difficult to reach the back of the molars are clean. 3. Brush the inner side of the teeth. Use the dynamic bristles on the front of the toothbrush to gently clean the inner surfaces of the teeth up and down. Brush the surface of your tongue Gently remove food debris and bacteria from the inside out. Keeps your breath fresh. Note: For children, early detection and treatment of oral diseases can maintain the integrity of the teeth and prevent tooth loss. We advocate that both adults and children should have an oral examination every six months in order to treat asymptomatic early caries, clean tartar regularly, and maintain the health of the hard and soft tissues of the mouth. Your common wrong brushing method: As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but a pain that kills. In spite of this fear, there are more and more people who need to see a doctor for dental disease, which has an important reason, that is, we grew up adhering to some of the habits of dental care, may be wrong! 1, cold water brushing teeth Cold water can lead to dentin sensitivity of people with sore teeth, and is not conducive to the effective substances within the toothpaste to play an active. The main ingredients in toothpaste are friction agents and fluoride, laboratory studies have found that the optimal temperature for these active ingredients to play a role is about 37 degrees Celsius. Suggestion: Brush your teeth with warm water close to your own body temperature for the best results. 2, violent brushing brushing too much force, may hurt teeth. Suggestions: 200 grams of force is enough, about the equivalent of fingers to pick up a popsicle power, use the wrist power to brush teeth rather than the arm. 3, horizontal brushing Survey shows that more than 90% of Chinese people use horizontal brushing form. Brushing is a physical wear and tear on tooth enamel. The purpose of brushing is to remove bacteria from the surface and crevices of the teeth, not to damage the teeth themselves. Brushing horizontally does not remove debris from the crevices of the teeth, but it can also lead to problems such as wedge-shaped defects at the roots of the teeth, gum damage, and dentin sensitivity. Suggestion: The correct way to brush your teeth is to brush vertically along the crevices of the teeth. 4, the wrong time to brush 98% of Chinese people get up early every day to brush their teeth, and then eat breakfast. The result is that the effective tooth care ingredients in toothpaste don’t have much chance to stay on the teeth, but are eaten into the stomach with breakfast. Suggestion: Brush your teeth 20 minutes after meals. It is healthiest to rinse your mouth with water after getting up, eat breakfast and brush your teeth 20 minutes after meals. Especially after drinking acidic beverages or eating acidic fruits, it is best to brush your teeth after 20 minutes and wait for the impact of these substances on the teeth to pass, to avoid greater damage to the surface of the teeth. 5, frequent rinsing after brushing some of the active ingredients in toothpaste need to retain some of the surface of the teeth to form a protective layer to maintain a period of time bacteria will not grow quickly, too much rinsing will not have this role. Some people will also use water to brush their teeth again, which is to help bacteria harm their teeth silly behavior. Suggestion: 1 rinse 10 seconds is enough. Experiments have found that after brushing our teeth when we spit out the first mouthful of mouthwash, 95% of the active ingredients are spit out, and the second mouthful will spit out 95% of the remaining 5%. So after brushing with toothpaste rinse once can, rinse time to keep 10 seconds or so on the good. 6, choose a toothbrush like a big good Each person’s teeth are big and small, toothbrush is too big, in the mouth to perform the task will not be flexible enough, toothbrush is too small, and can not complete a large area of the oral cavity cleaning work. Suggestion: Choose a toothbrush of the right size. The size of the tooth head should be equal to the width of 2 ½ to 3 teeth. The most important thing is: a toothbrush life is best not more than 1 month, electric toothbrush 3 months to replace the head of the toothbrush because the electric toothbrush is more gentle, and the design of the bristles is more conducive to teeth cleaning, so the use of life can be longer.
