Supposedly good for teeth.
Preserving your oral hygiene is not so difficult. Provided you have the right reflexes and avoid certain gestures … and products. First – we will never say it to consult your dentist regularly. “”Few people like to go to the dentist. However, not consulting your dentist every 6 months to take stock and descaling is a real error. This is essential to keep teeth in good health and make sure that you have no cavities “reminds us of Dr. Mathieu Benichou, dental surgeon in Toulouse.
Another frequent error is to “jump” the brushing of teeth in the evening. In a hurry to go to bed, some people omit to brush their teeth before going to sleep. However, at night, the rate of saliva, which plays a role of protection against acids, decreases. At the same time, the secretion of acids increases. Therefore, it is the night that the teeth are the most vulnerable and that it is necessary to pay particular attention to brushing.
The choice of toothpaste is also essential: “Contrary to what one might think, coal toothpaste are not a good ideatells us our interlocutor. For good reason, they abrad the surface of the enamel, lead to an increase in sensitivity to the tooth level and can cause a risk of secondary cavities“. In addition, the application of fluoride toothpaste has become a trend. Some argue that this component is not natural when it is essential for the creation or maintenance of the mineralization of enamel.
The consumption of acidic drinks such as Coca-Cola, Apple juice or lemon juice in the morning at breakfast is also a very bad habit because it acidifies the pH of the mouth, thus promoting the appearance of Caries. Same thing for “The snack between meals, it acidifies the pH which has the consequence of demineralizing enamel and promoting the appearance of cavities”says Dr. Benichou. The more frequent food intake, the more the risk increases. This is valid regardless of the foods consumed, especially the sweetest.
