How to properly wash your teeth?
Common enemy of the teeth and gums is "plaque". Plaque is a sticky, colorless biofilm that builds up on the teeth. It is an ideal base for colonization of bacteria that act, with its toxins, harmful to teeth and gums, leading to caries, gingivitis and periodontitis. For proper maintenance of oral hygiene are essential: a good toothbrush, proper teeth washing techniques, time length and frequency of washing teeth. Regular brushing of teeth removes plaque and food residues from the external and internal surfaces of the teeth. Toothbrush fiber should be directed at an angle of 45 degrees toward gums and make small circular motions, keeping the fibers more or less at the same place, which helps those longer fibers, remove foreign plaque under the gums and between teeth. The length of brushing time is about 3 minutes, and the frequency is mandatory morning and evening. In addition to brushes, additional resources are used for proper washing of teeth. Those are small brushes (for space between teeth) floss, toothpicks, tape, and finally a fluid (antiseptic, deodorant) in the bottle or by the apparatus with canals, fixed in the bathroom. Guidelines for the use of toothbrushes and extra resources are obtained at the dentist.
