How is the most scientific way to shag your teeth?

There are many ways to brush your teeth correctly, and each person can choose a method based on his or her own conditions. Horizontal trembling method with short trembling horizontal brushing action is the most clean plaque, so it is also known as the groove brushing method. Place the tip of the bristles with the teeth? Gingival surface at an angle of 45 ° and mild pressure, the tip of the bristles partly into the gingival sulcus, and partly outside the sulcus, and then for the front and back to the tremor 6 to 8 times, tremor bristles move only 1 mm. brush the upper and lower anterior teeth of the tongue and palate, such as the narrow arch, can be the head of the toothbrush vertical for a short horizontal brushing tremor. At the same time, you should also pull and brush the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth to clean the fossa and pitting of the dentition.

Rotary brushing method: also called Roll brushing or vertical brushing method. Bristles and tooth surface into 45 ° bristle head pointing to the gums, and the gums gently contact, and then to the crown of the direction of the rotation, the speed is not too fast, so repeat 8?10 times, and gradually in the lips of each tooth (buccal) surface and the tongue surface to move. When brushing the occlusal surface, the bristles are placed on the occlusal surface and moved back and forth. This method has the effect of massaging the gums, improving local blood circulation and promoting epithelial keratinization, which helps to strengthen the defense ability of periodontal tissues.

Physiological brushing method: the bristles are in contact with the crown of the tooth, and the head of the bristles points to the crown of the tooth, and brushes gently along the tooth to the gums. Brush each surface of each tooth in turn. This method can not only clean the surface of the teeth, but also massage the gums.

Toothbrush selection: should choose to use health care toothbrush, characterized by soft bristles, brush surface flat brush head is not too big, the tip of the brush bristles rounded, both effective in eliminating plaque, but does not damage teeth and gums. The toothbrush handle and bristles should be vertical or nearly vertical. The tips of the bristles should be rounded to avoid damaging the gums. Choose a toothbrush with two to three rows of bristles, spaced at the same interval, and with a length of about seven-sixteenths of an inch.

The frequency and time of brushing: morning and evening must be brushed, rinse mouth. If you have the conditions, you should brush your teeth immediately after each meal. Each time you brush your teeth for no less than 3 minutes. It is most important to brush your teeth before going to bed, because after falling asleep, saliva secretion will be reduced, and saliva can wash away bacteria and inhibit bacterial reproduction. If you do not brush your teeth before going to bed or did not brush clean, food debris in the role of bacteria will soon be fermented acid, coupled with the mouth due to sleep and lack of saliva, can not dilute and neutralize the acid produced by the bacteria, teeth are easily subject to corrosion, day long may cause dental caries. Therefore, before going to bed to brush the teeth, to stay in the teeth and teeth on the food debris brush clean, after brushing no longer eat anything, you can maintain a night of oral health.

Maintenance and replacement of the toothbrush: each time you finish brushing your teeth, you should wash the toothbrush and put it into a cup with the brush head facing upwards, and place it in a ventilated and dry place. Every 1-3 months should change a new toothbrush, such as found that the bristles scattered curved, tilt should be replaced in time.

Methods of brushing teeth

There are many kinds of methods of brushing teeth, some of which are both reasonable and convenient, and are worth introducing and popularizing, and each of them has its certain characteristics, and is only applicable to different ages and different individual situations, and there is no one method of brushing teeth that is suitable for all people. The horizontal brushing method customarily adopted by the crowd has many disadvantages, but if it is improved, it can be turned into a better method of brushing teeth. Any good brushing method should be easy to learn, clean the teeth well, and not damage the dentition and periodontal tissues. In fact, the ability of people to brush their teeth well depends largely on the dexterity of their hands. Although everyone's brushing gestures are clumsy, but as long as given sufficient inducement, the average person can effectively use a toothbrush to clean the oral cavity. Children are slow and lack patience to cope with complex brushing techniques and should be taught to use simpler brushing methods. As for people with disabilities, it may be necessary to use a toothbrush with a modified handle design for easy gripping or an electric toothbrush. There is a very close relationship between the brushing method and the variety of toothbrushes, so here we will mainly introduce the brushing method of ordinary toothbrushes.

Physiological brushing method: the toothbrush bristles in contact with the surface of the teeth, the tip of the bristles pointing to the crown, and then along the teeth to the gums slightly brush, similar to chewing fibrous food friction action on the surface of the teeth. This method can clean the surface of the teeth and stimulate the blood circulation of the gum tissue. Enhances periodontal tissue health.

Bass brushing method (Bass technique): when brushing the lip and tongue surface, the bristles and the surface of the teeth at an angle of 45 degrees, the head of the bristles pointing to the direction of the gums, so that the bristles into the gingival sulcus and neighboring areas, part of the bristles pressed against the gingival margins of the front and rear for a short distance back and forth trembling. The bristles are tightly pressed on the surface, so that the bristle end penetrates into the cleft area for a short distance back and forth trembling. This method due to the strong cleaning ability, to overcome the shortcomings of the saw type of horizontal brush method, and become a short horizontal brush, can effectively remove the neck and gingival sulcus plaque, massage the gums, but also to avoid, resulting in cervical wedge-shaped defects and gingival recession.

Rotary brushing method (roll method): from the gums to the crown direction of the rotary brush. When brushing the labial surfaces of the front teeth, the buccal surfaces of the back teeth, and the lingual and palatal surfaces of the back teeth, the tips of the toothbrush bristle bundles face the gums, i.e., the upper teeth face upward, and the lower teeth face downward. The bristles of the toothbrush are held at a 45° angle to the surface of the teeth. In the second step, the toothbrush is rotated in a small circular motion towards the crown. In the third step, brush along the teeth to clean all surfaces. When brushing the tongue and palate of the front teeth, the tip of the toothbrush bristle bundle is placed directly on the tongue and palate of the teeth, the upper teeth are pulled downward and the lower teeth are lifted upward, and when brushing the occlusal surfaces of the back teeth, the bristles are placed on the occlusal surfaces, and the brush is brushed back and forth.

Technical points of brushing: 1) recognize the attachment site of plaque: this is a very important part of the brushing effect. The plaque display is a reliable method to recognize the plaque.2)Brush bristles close to the surface of the teeth: the anatomy of the oral cavity is complex, there are many uneven areas, especially the neighboring surfaces of the teeth and the distal and middle surfaces of the last molar teeth, which are the most vulnerable to the accumulation of plaque. When brushing the distal and middle surfaces of the molar teeth, from one direction or from different directions and angles, try to put the bristles into the teeth and the surface of the teeth, so that it can be cleaned.3) The action of the head of the toothbrush: the structure of the oral cavity is more complex, and it is difficult to clean the plaque in the mouth with only one method of brushing, and one action of brushing. When people brush their teeth, the basic action of the head of the toothbrush has four kinds of vertical, horizontal, rotating and trembling to complete the brushing process.4) Order

The above methods of brushing, on the basis of proficiency can also be integrated, for example, the first horizontal trembling method, and then to make a few vertical trembling method, to choose the advantages of their own, to maintain oral hygiene.
