What are the methods to remove dental plaque

We all hope to show beautiful white teeth when we smile or talk. Of course, the health of teeth is closely related to the health of our body. If the teeth are good, everything will be good, including the body. Since we eat a lot of food every day, it is easy for some substances to remain on the teeth. If the teeth are not cleaned in time, dental plaque will form on the teeth. Dental plaque is the main cause of periodontitis, so removing dental plaque is something that must be done. Now let’s talk about the methods of removing dental plaque.

1. Brush your teeth:

Brushing your teeth is a basic and most important way to remove dental plaque. If you brush your teeth properly, you can greatly reduce the amount of plaque on the surface of your teeth. Therefore, we must develop a good habit of brushing our teeth every morning and evening, and master the correct brushing method.

2. Dental floss:

Simply brushing your teeth cannot effectively remove plaque from the adjacent surfaces of your teeth, so other auxiliary products are needed. Dental floss is one of them. Dental floss can effectively remove dental plaque on the adjacent surfaces of teeth and prevent periodontal disease and interproximal caries.

3. Interdental Brush:

Interdental brushes consist of two parts: bristles and a handle. They come in a variety of designs and specifications and can be selected according to the size of the interdental spaces. They can effectively remove plaque from the adjacent surfaces of the teeth.

4. Toothpaste:

When brushing your teeth, you should use toothpaste to rub the tooth surface to enhance the effect of removing dental plaque and make the teeth clean and beautiful. The fragrance in toothpaste can also refresh the taste and reduce bad breath. If some medicine is added to toothpaste, it is called medicated toothpaste. Brushing your teeth with medicated toothpaste can have some corresponding effects, but if you have a dental disease, you should still see a dentist first and listen to the doctor's advice. You cannot simply rely on a certain toothpaste to treat your dental disease by yourself, so as not to delay your condition.

5. Mouthwash:

Gargling is a method of cleaning the oral cavity. The main principle is to use the impact force of liquid flowing in the mouth to remove retained food debris, but gargling cannot remove dental plaque. Adding some medicinal ingredients to mouthwash is called mouthwash. Mouthwash can reduce the formation of dental plaque and play a certain role in reducing the occurrence of caries and periodontal diseases, but it should not be abused.
