Why Is Oral Care So Important?

It is impossible to look beautiful without having a healthy, attractive smile. The function of teeth is not limited only to ease of chewing and digestion of food. A symmetrical row of teeth and a healthy oral cavity also help us pronounce sounds correctly and maintain the symmetry of facial features.

"Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Clinic" offers advice that will help you avoid the most common mistakes, make your smile attractive and maintain oral health for a long time.

Mistake #1: Not Brushing Your Teeth Properly

One of the easiest ways to keep your teeth healthy is to brush your teeth regularly with the right toothbrush for your mouth. Brushing your teeth is the number one way of maintaining hygiene that any dentist recommends. However, how you brush and hold your toothbrush is also important. When brushing, make sure the toothbrush is positioned at a 45-degree angle above the gum line. Also, make sure you brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes so that most of the surface of your teeth (both front and back) is handled at the correct angle by the toothbrush. After brushing your teeth, clean your tongue. Brush the surface of your tongue and palate to make sure your mouth is free of bacteria. All this will prevent the unpleasant smell coming from the mouth.

Mistake #2: You Don't Floss And Use An Irrigator

We all know that flossing (cleaning the teeth with special threads) takes a lot of time, and often after a long and tiring day, we refuse to do this procedure. It is important to remember that even after brushing the teeth, the bacteria present on at least 40% of the surface of the teeth remain intact. The use of floss and irrigator ensures the removal of food particles remaining in the space between the teeth. This plaque cannot be removed using a regular brush. That is why it is recommended to use floss and irrigator at least once a day.

Mistake #3: You Use Tobacco And Alcohol

Quitting tobacco is one of the best ways you can protect your mouth from serious problems. Reducing tobacco consumption will prevent periodontal diseases such as gum inflammation (periodontitis), palate and tongue tumors, and others. Permanent consumption of alcohol can also damage your teeth, because at this time the acid-alkaline balance in the oral cavity is disturbed.

Mistake # 4 You Drink Coffee, Tea And Carbonated Drinks

Caffeinated drinks can provide energy to your body, but their permanent intake can endanger the health of your teeth. Fizzy drinks with a high sugar content weaken the teeth and cause dental problems such as tooth decay. In addition, tea and coffee discolor the teeth and give them a yellowish tint.

Mistake #5: You Are Not Following A Healthy Diet

Teeth need a lot of calcium. It is necessary to include healthy foods in the diet, such as: milk, yogurt, cheese, orange juice and other foods rich in vitamins and calcium.

Mistake #6: You Don't Visit The Dentist Regularly

It is important to visit the dentist at least once every 6 months and have your teeth professionally cleaned. In this way, you will avoid the formation of stones on the teeth and prevent the development of caries.

Mistake #7: Eating Foods High In Sugar

What happens when you eat sugary foods? At this time, bacteria break down sugar and produce acids, which directly damage the teeth. If you crave sugary foods, keep in mind that after eating any sweets, You should clean your mouth thoroughly to prevent the growth of bacteria.
