When is the best time to brush your teeth?

I believe everyone will feel confused when seeing this question. We have been brushing our teeth for decades, so how come we don’t know when is the right time to brush our teeth? In fact, the main purpose of brushing teeth is to remove dental plaque, because only dental plaque can form a stable attachment on the surface of teeth. Proper brushing can protect teeth, while inappropriate brushing time will cause damage to teeth. So when is the best time to brush teeth? Let me introduce it to you below, let’s take a look.

Why is it said that brushing your teeth within 15 minutes to 30 minutes is most effective? Because brushing your teeth immediately after a meal can indeed remove food debris and tartar in time, but Australian oral medicine experts say that brushing your teeth immediately after a meal will increase the incidence of tooth sensitivity by 15%! Because there is a layer of enamel on the surface of the teeth, just after eating, especially just after eating acidic foods such as fruits and dairy products, the enamel on the teeth will become soft. Brushing your teeth at this time will make the enamel gradually thinner. Over time, the teeth will become sore and swollen. Therefore, I recommend 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

Simply put, brushing your teeth after meals is more important, and it is best to prepare a toothbrush in the office at noon.

You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, including once before going to bed. If you frequently snack and drink during the day, you should brush your teeth more frequently.

Many foods (including beverages), especially those high in sugars and starches, cause bacteria in the mouth to release acid. These acids are harmful to tooth enamel. Enamel, also known as enamel, is a translucent white hard tissue on the surface of the tooth crown that protects the dentin and pulp tissue inside the tooth. Therefore, brushing your teeth after eating can help remove residual food and plaque, preventing caries (cavities) and periodontitis.

The above introduces when is the best time to brush your teeth. I believe everyone has understood it. I also want to tell you that brushing your teeth alone cannot completely remove residual food and dental plaque. Therefore, you must protect your teeth in normal times. You can use antibacterial mouthwash to maintain oral hygiene. You must maintain good oral health to avoid some oral diseases.
