The softer the bristles of a toothbrush, the harder it is to clean

We wash our faces and brush our teeth every morning when we wake up, but does everyone know how to brush their teeth? Maybe you think this question is quite simple. Who doesn't take out a toothbrush and some toothpaste, add some water and start brushing teeth? However, most people don't know how to brush their teeth. Let's talk about it. Most people don't know how to brush their teeth and it hurts their teeth. The softer the bristles of the toothbrush, the harder it is to clean.

If you feel that brushing your toothbrush is not clean enough in your mouth, it may be due to the presence of dental plaque in your mouth. The symptoms can be relieved by teeth cleaning. The 'inside' of the mandibular teeth is called the lingual side because it is close to the tongue; the maxillary teeth are close to the upper palate, so it is also called the palatal side. Other parts that can be brushed when brushing teeth include the lip side close to the lips and the jaw surface used for eating. There are three sides in total, and they all must be brushed when brushing your teeth. The correct way to brush your teeth should be with a "rotating brush". Place the tip of the toothbrush lightly and flatly on the gums, and rotate the toothbrush with moderate force, using the elasticity of the bristles to fully contact the tooth surface. Do it rhythmically, and rely on the friction between the bristles and the tooth surface to remove dental plaque. Because the inner side of the front teeth is curved, you need to hold the toothbrush upright and gently rotate it about 30 degrees, and pull it up and down to really brush the teeth. Repeat each action more than 5 times, and each brushing time should take 3 minutes. Instead of choosing a toothbrush with hard or soft bristles, choose fine bristles. Some people will deliberately choose soft bristles because they mistakenly believe that soft bristles will not damage teeth. However, the hardness and cleaning efficiency of the bristles are not what we usually think. The softer the brush is, the harder it is to clean, but the harder it is, the greater the wear on the tooth surface and the damage to the gums.

In addition, brushing your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening is enough, and brushing your teeth at night is more important. The growth cycle of dental plaque peaks at night. Brushing your teeth at night can remove plaque bacteria that have the potential to reproduce. In addition, do not brush your teeth after eating candy, just rinse your mouth. Brushing your teeth will destroy the protective effect of tooth enamel.

Perhaps most people think that the softer the toothbrush, the better it protects the teeth. Some people experience bleeding teeth when brushing their teeth, so they prefer to choose a toothbrush with softer bristles. However, choosing this kind of toothbrush will not clean the teeth well. If you do not choose the correct brushing method, it will also hurt your teeth. So please read the above article carefully to protect our teeth.
