Disruption of dental cleaning can cause tartar, stones and decay in the teeth. It is known that the most effective way to prevent these dental problems is through proper dental cleaning. Dentists have warned in their statement that you may indeed be cleaning your teeth incorrectly, increasing your risk of potentially life-threatening disease.
IT NEEDS TO ADD flossing to your cleaning routine.
While most people know they should brush their teeth twice a day to avoid poor oral hygiene, one expert said many people forget to floss.
Dr. Sameer Patel explained that flossing also removes plaque below the gumline, which can erode tooth enamel and cause tartar. The expert added that incorporating this into your routine can reduce the chances of gingivitis, cavities and gingivitis.
CONNECTED TO INCREASE RISK OF HEART DISEASE
“Research is increasingly showing the importance of flossing for neurological and heart health,” he told MailOnline. Experts at Harvard Medical School warn that gum disease is also linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
THESE PEOPLE ARE AT A HIGHER RISK OF HEART ATTACKS AND PALACE
They note that study after study has shown that people with poor oral health and suffering from problems such as gum disease or tooth loss generally have higher rates of heart attack and stroke than people with good oral health. “Studies have linked periodontal disease (especially if caused by infection by a bacteria called porphyromonas gingivalis) and rheumatoid arthritis.”
NOT BRUSHING AT THE NIGHT IS AMONG THE BIGGEST MISTAKES
Dr. Safa Al-Naher added that if you didn’t clean your teeth well before going to bed, you might have brushed your teeth incorrectly. He said that while you should brush twice a day, if you only brush once a day, you should do it before you go to sleep. This is because soft food particles can harden on teeth overnight, making them nearly impossible to remove with brushing alone.
Dr. Safa added, “We recommend brushing twice a day. If you’re only going to be brushing once a day, make sure it’s at the end of the day before you go to bed.”
BRUSH IN THE MORNING BEFORE BREAKFAST
Dr Patel said that if you clear your pearly whites right after you have breakfast, you may also be putting your health at risk. He said too much bacteria builds up in the mouth overnight. What we eat for breakfast can feed these bacteria that attack tooth enamel.
