Brushing your teeth correctly and daily is the most important way to keep your mouth and teeth clean and prevent tooth decay and the diseases that result from it.
The correct use of the toothbrush is linked to the moment in which you brush your teeth, since choosing the wrong moment can lead to problems and damage to the mouth and teeth.
Wrong times
Dentists recommend avoiding cleaning your mouth with toothbrushes and pastes and warn against brushing immediately after eating or vomiting, as this can destroy the tooth pulp known as enamel.
According to the Mayo Clinic Medical Organization, the mouth becomes acidic immediately after eating, or after vomiting, and brushing your mouth in this case distributes the acid on the teeth and allows it to dissolve their surface, which is the first stage of tooth decay , which ends with the damage and subsequent removal of tooth enamel.
It is recommended to wait at least an hour after eating to brush your teeth
The best way to clean your teeth
The Saudi Ministry of Health provides a series of steps to properly clean your teeth:
• Place the toothbrush on your teeth at a 45-degree angle, so that the bristles of the toothbrush touch the tips of your gums and teeth.
• Brush every 2 or 3 teeth together gently back and forth from the gum side to the end of the tooth, and so on for the rest of the teeth.
• Clean your back teeth (molars) by positioning the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle, back and forth, in a circular motion over all internal surfaces.
• Clean the inside of the teeth using the brush head, moving the toothbrush longitudinally up and down.
• Clean the edges of the teeth, then clean the tongue using its brush or a toothbrush.
