Some tips to ensure the safety of teeth.. Read them carefully
It is known that oral care is of great importance in maintaining the balance and health of the body, and perhaps many people neglect this aspect, which portends a great danger to public health.
Dentist Cami Hoss has described in a new book about a catastrophe that many people fall into, according to the “Today” newspaper.
Our method is completely wrong
He added that the mouths these days are not healthy at all, explaining that the majority of people suffer from oral diseases.
He stressed that this result is nothing but evidence that what we are currently doing is useless, referring to our method of brushing teeth.
The doctor also pointed out that the usual method of brushing the teeth with a strong-acting toothpaste and antiseptic leads to a microbial imbalance in the mouth, killing all bacteria in the mouth, whether good or bad.
He explained that oral bacteria are similar to gut bacteria, which exist in billions, and there are both harmful and beneficial ones.
He also noted that not using oral care products that contain alcohol and other ingredients can alter the oral microbiome, such as antiseptic mouthwashes that kill 99% of germs.
That’s why this method gets rid of everything except “the tiny, super-strong microbes that are ready to re-colonize the entire mouth unchecked after the good bacteria are eliminated.”
some advices
In addition, the doctor gave several tips that would reduce the risks and preserve the teeth, among them he stressed the need to start the morning oral care routine before breakfast, and not after it, because whenever we eat, the mouth becomes acidic and can damage the enamel, so we have to wait between 30 to At least 60 minutes after meals and drinks before brushing.
And after waking up, we should use an alkaline mouthwash to restore the pH in the mouth, and reduce any plaque that has built up during the night.
He also emphasized the importance of using floss, as regular floss is the best, while the second option is floss with a handle, then electric dental floss.
It is important not to neglect cleaning the tongue with a tongue scraper or brush because these logic are a great source of bacteria that cause bad breath.
You should also brush your teeth using safe and effective toothpaste and a soft toothbrush.
It is important to repeat this routine before bed, but reverse the order, so that the last oral care product you use before bed is an alkaline mouthwash.
