1. Does it matter how long you brush your teeth? wrong
Many people believe that the purpose of brushing teeth is to remove food debris, but the purpose of brushing teeth is to eliminate dental plaque. Dental plaque is a colorless bacterium that adheres to the surface of teeth and gums, causing dental caries and gingival inflammation. According to a survey, the average time for Chinese people to brush their teeth each time is 59 seconds, which is not enough for complete and thorough cleaning of the oral cavity. Therefore, brushing your teeth should not be less than 3 minutes. Start with the front teeth and carefully brush vertically, focusing on areas such as the gaps and inside of the teeth.
2. Is it bad to brush your teeth when you get up? not necessarily
According to a survey, many people believe that the effective tooth protection ingredients in toothpaste do not have much chance of remaining on the teeth, but instead will be eaten into the stomach. However, there is currently no medical opinion that it is not appropriate to brush your teeth and use breakfast after getting up in the morning. If you don't brush your teeth before breakfast, you may feel a foreign body sensation in your mouth, and it may not be clean. You may also feel uneasy about eating breakfast. If you rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth and eating breakfast, you can remove food residues from breakfast.
3. Do you need to brush your teeth hard? wrong
Many people believe that using 200 grams of force to brush their teeth is sufficient, equivalent to the force of a finger picking up a popsicle and using the force of the wrist to brush their teeth rather than the force of the arm. However, the strength of brushing teeth varies from person to person. When brushing your teeth, don't use too much force, it's not that the harder you use, the cleaner you can brush your teeth. Moreover, if you brush your teeth in the wrong way, the greater the force you use, the more damage you will cause to your teeth. Therefore, it is advisable to brush the teeth with a clean surface, and each person can decide based on their own situation.
4. Emphasize regular dental cleaning? differ from man to man
As dental calculus is the main factor causing periodontal disease, and "tooth washing" is one of the important methods for removing dental calculus, more and more people are going to wash their teeth. In fact, dental cleaning is not necessary for everyone. According to clinical observations, everyone's eating habits and health care habits are different, and there are significant differences in their oral health status. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct regular oral examinations, rather than simply emphasizing "regular tooth washing", which can lead to misunderstandings about the concept of oral health care.
5. Can you insist on not pulling out your teeth? wrong
If there is a problem with your teeth, treat and retain them as soon as possible. However, some people suffer from periodontal disease and persist in retaining their teeth even when they need to have their teeth extracted. This is harmful to periodontal and oral health. Therefore, early tooth extraction is beneficial to the recovery of oral health. "If the extracted tooth is not extracted, it can also lead to oral lesions. Failure to extract the extracted tooth can worsen oral hygiene and cause other diseases, such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, heart disease, and so on.". Therefore, tooth extraction is also one of the treatment methods to ensure oral health.
