How to brush your teeth properly

Beautiful teeth - more than 70% of girls dream about them, because this the beauty of your smile, and a dazzling and cheerful smile adorns the face. And a woman's smile is sometimes her weapon, moreover, the most crushing one. However, beautiful white teeth are not only beauty, but also an indicator of health, normal functioning of internal organs. Where should you start?

Undoubtedly with the correct brushing of your teeth. How much time do you spend brushing your teeth? The speed of the century in which we live does not allow many of us to do everything with maximum care, and therefore, most of us brush our teeth in 30-45 seconds. This is oh-oh-very little. Ideally, you should brush your teeth for 2 to 5 minutes. It is during this time that the paste will perform its useful functions - it will have time to form a film that protects the enamel and protects against bacteria that cause caries and other diseases.

How often should you brush your teeth? At least twice (in the morning and in the evening), and it is necessary to clean not before meals, but after. Do you wash your cup after drinking coffee and leave it clean until next time? The best option is to brush your teeth after every meal. This happens three to four times a day. If you have a snack, such as an apple or candy, you can limit yourself to rinse.

Dentists keep reminding us to brush our teeth after every meal, and this will be a practical opportunity to keep our teeth healthy. Many of us brush our teeth in a horizontal, reciprocating motion. However, plaque is removed well if the movements go from the gums to the tips of the teeth, that is, "sweeping" movements, both from the outside and from the inside of the teeth.

Do not forget to brush the chewing surface of the molars. Brushing your teeth should be completed with a gum massage. Using a clean and damp toothbrush, massage first the upper and then the lower gums in a circular motion.

The quality of brushing your teeth also depends on the correct brush. It is better to choose brushes with synthetic bristles of medium hardness or soft. These brushes do not injure the gums and tooth enamel. Brushes with natural bristles have a tubular structure, therefore, microbes gradually accumulate in the cavity of each bristle, and from this, it is clear to everyone, there will be no benefit.

The ideal bristles are dense and dense medical polyester. The best shape for a brush is with a small head and a curved handle. It is convenient to clean with such a brush even in the most inaccessible places. Flexible-handle brushes often have large heads, and this only increases the amount of toothpaste, but not the quality of brushing your teeth. Indeed, for large heads, access to secret places in the oral cavity is significantly limited. Flexibility is more important for the bristles than the handle.

The brush should be changed once a month. For additional cleaning of teeth, some dentists recommend using a special silk thread - floss. However, many other dentists argue that it should be used rarely - only in extreme cases (remove the remaining food that could not be eliminated with regular brushing).

Are electric toothbrushes good? It's up to you. But you need to know that these brushes make circular movements, unlike the recommended ones - from the gums to the tips of the teeth. There are also sonic brushes that are superior to electric ones. However, we will leave the answers to these questions for the next time.

What will be your smile - you decide. Smiling in youth, most often part of the upper teeth is exposed, in middle age - almost all of the front teeth, and in old age, due to the lowering of the muscular tissue of the face, a smile sinks to the lower row of teeth. There are other, purely cosmetic and physiological features, but this is from the field of professional aesthetic dentistry, which today can help in many situations.
