In these days when fasting for the month of Ramadan is performed, experts point out that it is important to clean the interface of the teeth effectively and emphasize that habits such as sugary, acidic food consumption and smoking increase the acid-producing bacteria in the teeth. Be careful about the methods that will protect the oral and dental health and the correct known mistakes.
THINGS TO BE CONSIDERED IN DENTAL CARE
Brushing teeth too hard and abrasive can erode the enamel, which protects the inner parts of the teeth from wear and decay, and can damage your teeth.
It is the effective cleaning of the interface of the teeth. An interface toothbrush can also be used instead of dental floss, but floss should be used, especially for crooked teeth.
ATTENTION TO GUMS BLEEDING
If there is bleeding in the gums while brushing the teeth, we can also talk about the wrong idea that no intervention should be made. Gum bleeding is usually seen when bacteria and plaque accumulate between the teeth as a result of the toothbrush bristles not reaching the spaces properly. Bacterial formations cause gingival inflammation. Bleeding is also a stage of this process. However, if flossing becomes a habit, inflammation and therefore bleeding can be prevented.
ATTENTION TO THE USE OF CARBONATE AND HERBAL TEA
In case of excessive and uncontrolled use of rubbing the teeth with baking soda or gargling with herbal teas to prevent bad breath, it can damage your teeth. Brushing your teeth with baking soda every day can cause damage to your teeth. Since baking soda is a coarse granular substance, it scratches and erodes the enamel layers of the tooth. Consuming herbal teas too much can also lead to discoloration of the teeth.
SMOKING CAUSES BACTERIAL INCREASE
Not paying enough attention to oral and dental health can cause tooth decay. If the care of the mouth and teeth is not done regularly, the number of bacteria in our mouth will increase and adhere to the tooth surface and holes will form on the teeth. At the beginning of the main reasons for the increase of these acid-producing bacteria are habits that make up our lifestyle, such as not brushing the teeth after meals, not cleaning the food residues between the teeth with dental floss, consumption of sugary and acidic foods, and smoking.
