Many people practice wrong habits that can cause serious damage to the teeth and gums, and some believe that they are practicing the right way, so in this article we will try to guide you to some of the wrong practices and correct them.
♦ We also encourage you to consult your doctor at AlRawnq about what products and tools you use to keep your teeth.
Use a toothpaste that does not contain fluoride
The concept of "Comprehensive" toothpaste has become very common, but it may be behind tooth damage and periodontal disease if it is free of fluoride, which has been scientifically proven to resist tooth decay.
Use the brush in the wrong way
Do not squeeze your teeth too much while brushing, and start from different places every time you brush your teeth because the last place always gets less attention.
Use coarse toothbrush
The coarse brush may not need advice to keep away from it, as it causes great damage to the teeth. Use a soft bristle brush.
Do not use the electronic brush properly
If you do not use the electric brush in the right way, it may cause damage to your teeth and will not be useful, and the correct way to use is to touch the teeth with the ends of the hairs without pressure.
♦ If you use an electric toothbrush, ask your doctor in AlRawnq about it.
Do not take enough time to brush your teeth
One statistic indicates that 43% of people do not spend 45 seconds brushing their teeth, but this is not enough. Cleaning the teeth takes at least two minutes.
Excessive use of tooth whitening paste
Many use tooth whitening paste, but their frequent use may be counterproductive as teeth become darker and more sensitive in the long term.
Use mouthwash containing alcohol
The use of mouthwash containing alcohol can cause cancer, and studies have shown that excessive use of mouthwash puts health at risk.
Use the threads violently
The Dental cleaning threads should be used gently as it passes between the teeth or it will cause damage to the gums.
