Daily oral hygiene
In the case of dental prophylaxis, its basis is regularity and diligent care of the oral cavity, regular tooth brushing and selection of a suitable brush, toothpaste or cleaning thread. Let’s not forget about the mouthwash. We often think that the oral hygiene accessories advertised on TV are suitable for us, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Not everything that is beautiful and colorful is perfect and good for us. One visit to Atelier Uśmiechu in Mokotów is enough for our specialists to advise you what to use. You will see differences day by day if you start using the right “tools” in your oral hygiene. We will also teach you how to use them, how to brush, how to teach your children this habit, how to take care not to heal later.
How long should you brush your teeth? For a manual brush, the brushing time should be between 3 and 4 minutes. However, using an electric or sonic brush, 2 minutes is enough. Teeth are most effectively brushed with a round brush because it allows you to focus on cleaning the surface of one tooth. You should brush your teeth in a sweeping and not scrubbing way. Unfortunately, adults very often press the brush too much, causing harm to their teeth. Let’s remember that no, even the most expensive brush can replace the time spent and the right cleaning technique.
In addition to the brush, dental floss also plays a very important role. With its help, we can remove food debris from the space between the teeth. People who have prosthetic restorations or wear orthodontic braces should use specialized floss. It is best in this situation to go to a hygienist who will advise in all doubts and help choose the right preparations, taking into account the condition of the patient’s teeth and his preferences. On the other hand, toothpaste and mouthwash perform an auxiliary function. The whole cleaning consists in removing food debris from the teeth. The paste and liquid cause a slip and make this operation more enjoyable. In addition, the active ingredients reduce dentin sensitivity, the number of bacteria and support enamel reminarelization.
