Free Teeth Tips

Since childhood we have been trained to brush our teeth twice a day, and still they sometimes get sore. Doctors are sure: for a full-fledged dental care one brush is not enough! Free tips for dental care are posted below.

If you are convinced that morning and evening brushing your teeth is enough to "protect yourself from bacteria and carious monsters," then you are watching too much TV and believe advertising. In oral care, there are no more and less important points: the importance of the quality of the toothbrush, and the selected paste, and the thread, and mouthwash ... In short, the health of teeth and gums requires a whole arsenal of modern tools. And, importantly, you need to learn all these tools to choose and apply correctly.

PASTE

Price: from 50 rubles.

What can. In addition to a purely abrasive property (that is, the ability to scrape off the plaque from the tooth enamel), a good paste has an antibacterial effect. It is provided, for example, by triclosan, an antimicrobial drug that protects the oral cavity from bacteria. On the teeth remains a thin film, which protects the enamel. Naturally, after each meal, drinking or chewing gum, the film is erased, and the teeth again are defenseless. Therefore, for peace of mind, it is better to either constantly brush your teeth, or to supplement the effect of the paste with other "helpers".

How to apply. Of all the tips for dental care, we are guided, basically, by one: for one brushing it is enough to apply a toothpaste of 1.5 cm paste to the brush. The rest, in general, is excess. The taste of the pasta, by the way, has no effect on its effectiveness, so it is not necessary to tolerate menthol fire in the mouth in the hope that the teeth will be clean longer.

BRUSH

Price: from 70 rubles.

What can. A good toothbrush should also have plastic inserts in the cleaning surface. They serve as a kind of guide for the bristles, helping them to penetrate into the interdental spaces. The bristles themselves must be different - so the chewing surfaces of teeth are better cleared. Excellent, if the head of the brush on the back side is equipped with a ribbed plastic pad to remove plaque from the tongue and inner surface of the cheeks. Between the papillae of the tongue, a lot of bacteria accumulate, which will be on your teeth immediately after cleansing, negating all efforts.

How to apply. Polls dentists show that you can properly brush your teeth every second god. And after all it is possible to receive free-of-charge consultation about it at any stomatologist. So, we make only vertical brushes (as if sweeping away the plaque in the direction from the gums to the tips of the teeth) or circular motions. Brush the outer surface of the teeth, then the inner surface and, finally, the chewing. Do not brush along the row of teeth: it only deeper pushes the remains of food. In the end, work with the padded tongue and the inner surface of the cheeks.

TOOTH THREAD (FLOSS)

Price: from 80 rubles.

What can. Thin and strong, it is needed in order to clean the interdental spaces, where the villi toothbrush can not get through. The thread removes plaque in the areas where the teeth are closed, helping to prevent the so-called internal caries, which is very common. A good thread should not be perfectly smooth: a small "fluffiness" helps protect the gums from cuts. Modern flosses are produced with various flavors and impregnations - for example, with the taste of lemon or mint. Which option to choose - "coil" or thread, planted on a toothpick, it's up to you, they do not differ in effectiveness.

How to apply. After each meal and after brushing the teeth, clean each gap between the teeth, 2-3 times using a thread back and forth. Then rinse the mouth with a rinse aid.

BINDING RINSE

Price: from 40 rubles.

What can. A high-quality rinse is quite capable of replacing teeth cleaning during the day. Its effectiveness is due to the presence in the composition of chlorhexidine (antiseptic broad spectrum of action) and benzidamine, which has an anti-inflammatory and local anesthetic effect, penetrates well into inflamed tissues, reducing pain sensitivity in the site of inflammation.

How to apply. As a measuring cup a cap from the bottle is used. The rinse aid is worth keeping in the office, where it is inconvenient to brush your teeth after lunch or snack. The composition is ready for use, it does not need to be diluted with water.

IRRIGATOR

The price: from 1700 rubles.

What can. In medicine, irrigation is the procedure for irrigation of inflammatory foci by drugs, and the irrigator is the device for this operation. Irrigator rinses the mouth with a jet of antibacterial fluid under pressure; this improves the condition of the gums, prevents and reduces gingivitis, and also removes plaque and food residues from the gaps between the teeth. The force of the pressure of the jet can be selected individually.

To apply. The easiest way to give a few more free tips for dental care, than to explain the principle of the irrigator. However, you can do this using the example of a mechanical car wash: you turn the nozzle at different angles with respect to the teeth, and the pulsating jet flushes away the dirt.
