How do you brush your teeth properly? Teeth need to be well cared for if they are to last a lifetime. But in fact, almost all Germans suffer from tooth decay because they don't look after their teeth properly. Improper dental care not only causes tooth decay and periodontal disease, but also bad breath.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
So how are teeth properly cared for?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Teeth should be brushed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Ideally, teeth should be brushed after breakfast and immediately before going to bed. Many people brush their teeth after getting up and then have breakfast. But then the leftovers from breakfast remain in the spaces between the teeth and continue to smoulder throughout the day. It is better to clean your teeth after breakfast so that they are clean for the next meal and your breath stays fresh.<\/p>\n
Teeth should also be brushed in the evening after dinner, directly before going to bed, so that they are not attacked by bacteria during the long resting phase.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The correct brushing technique is also important. The teeth should be cleaned in circular movements from all sides, without brutal scrubbing and with only gentle pressure.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brushing should take 3 minutes, then rinse your mouth thoroughly and gargle out any remaining residue with an antibacterial mouthwash.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A soft or medium-soft toothbrush is suitable for optimum dental care. Toothbrushes that are too hard damage the gums. A new toothbrush should be purchased every 3 months. Electric toothbrushes often take better care of the teeth, as the vibration of the brush head performs the circular movements.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A good toothpaste should have a fluoride content of 0.15%. The flavour is irrelevant.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sugar-free dental care chewing gums are a good idea for in-between meals, as they give your teeth additional protection with minerals. However, dental care chewing gums are no substitute for brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n
