Proper Tooth Brushing

Teeth should be brushed with the appropriate technique so that bacterial plaques and nutrient residues that accumulate on the teeth can be cleaned. Plaque and deposits that cannot be cleaned settle on the tooth and prepare the ground for caries and gum diseases. Reasons such as incorrect tooth brushing technique, hard brushing, brushing too often, using a hard toothbrush can lead to gum retraction and lead to the formation of sensitivity.

It will be enough to use a chickpea-sized toothpaste. With a soft-headed toothbrush, teeth should be brushed 2 times a day for 2 minutes. The toothbrush should be placed on the front surface of the teeth at a 45-degree angle (inclined) and brushed from the gum into the oral cavity. Circular movements should be made to the toothbrush on the front and back surfaces of the teeth, while the brush should be moved back and forth on the chewing surfaces.

Bleeding gums during brushing can mean that the teeth and gums cannot be cleaned well. Brushing with hard and incorrect movements can also lead to gum bleeding. Care should be taken to clean the bleeding area, it should be brushed with gentle movements. If there is a buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, it should be cleaned by a dentist. Stopping brushing because the gums are bleeding will lead to an increase in the existing problem.

A toothbrush alone is not enough to clean the teeth effectively. The faces of the two teeth facing each other are suitable environments for plaque accumulation that cannot be cleaned with a toothbrush. These surfaces should be cleaned with dental floss or interface brush 1 time a day before going to bed at night. If the surfaces of the teeth are too cramped for the interface brush to enter, dental floss should be used if there are crown and bridge dentures. An interface brush should be used if there are triangular gaps between the teeth due to gum retraction or if the teeth are not cramped. Interface brushes are available in various sizes to fit the space on the teeth. After the dental examination, the recommended use of dental floss or an appropriate sized interface brush should not be disrupted.

For effective cleaning, dental floss and interface brush should also be used correctly. Harsh use with sloppy movements can cause harm rather than benefit. The dental floss should be cut to about 45 cm in size and most of it should be wrapped around the middle finger. With the other hand, the rope should be twisted into the C-shape and inserted into the cavities of the teeth and cleaned upward from the gum by leaning against the Decking surface. In this way, after the side surface of both teeth is cleaned, the used part of the Decongestant is wrapped around the middle finger of the other hand and Decongestant between the remaining decongestant and the other teeth. The interface brush should be used with gentle movements back and forth, then Decontaminated with plenty of water and the recommended use time should not be exceeded.

It is also a very suitable environment for bacteria to settle on the tongue, and these bacteria can also spread to the teeth. The bacteria accumulated by the digestive system throughout the night should be cleaned with a tongue brush before brushing the teeth in the morning. The use of a toothbrush in tongue cleaning should not be preferred as it may lead to the spread of bacteria to the teeth. Brushing the tongue is also part of oral care and should not be neglected.
