DENTAL HYGIENE

Do you know how to brush your teeth properly?

There is no doubt about the need to brush your teeth DAILY. For this purpose, a brush of medium hardness in mouths without gum problems is the correct brush.

• Start by gently "combing" the outer surfaces of the teeth and molars from gingiva to tooth.
• After the upper ones, comb the lower ones in the same way: from gingiva to tooth.
• The same combing movement for the inner faces on the palate and those hidden by the tongue.
• Add cleaning the tongue with the brush or better yet with a "tongue cleaner" sold in pharmacies.
• Fluoride paste.
• If you use an electric toothbrush, make sure it is always in sweeping motion from gum to tooth and without pressure. Do not stand on a tooth.
• And if you brush two to three times a day (night brushing is a must), it is ideal.
• Mouthwashes are not a substitute for brushing.
