How to brush your teeth well?

 Would hard brushing be good for your teeth?

Would a stiff toothbrush be good for your teeth?

Today, we are going to talk about

Bad brushing habits you’ve been misunderstood

&

Proper brushing habits.

The first bad brushing habit is the

‘Aggressive brushing’.

Aggressive brushing can cause wear down your tooth and gum line at a faster rate.

It can cause contraction of the gums, gingival retraction as well.   

If gingival retraction continues by the strong brushing,

  it affects the way your smile looks.

Badly, the roots of your teeth also become exposed.

The second bad brushing habit is the

‘Choosing wrong toothbrush.'

When you choose the wrong brush,

especially toothbrush with strong bristles,

can cause tooth wear, periodontitis.

This can make teeth more sensitive.

The third bad brushing habit is the

“Brushing immediately after a meal.'

Some people brush their teeth immediately after eating

to remove the food debris left on their teeth.

But, did you know that this behavior is no different

than not brushing the teeth at all?

Immediately after eating,

there is an acid in your mouth,

it’s like putting an abrasive in your mouth

 to make the teeth erode better.

It’s better to rinse your mouth with water after eating or drinking.

If you need to brush your teeth,

It is good to brush your teeth

After about 30 minutes of the term.

The fourth bad brushing habit is the

“Wrong way to store a toothbrush”.

If you don’t change your toothbrush on time,

you can catch a cold or flu again.

Also, bacteria which attach to, and survive on toothbrushes that you used

may infect other viruses.

The fifth bad brushing habit is the

'Brushing immediately after a meal.'

 After brushing your teeth,

many people often put the toothbrush in a closed container or put a cover on it.

If you don't give your toothbrush enough time to dry enough,

your toothbrush will stay wet

and that develops mold.

Black dots on the toothbrush also indicate

that the toothbrush is infected with fungus.

While flushing the toilet without closing the toiled lid,

the same is true in this case.

If you flush the water without closing the toilet lid,

the water splashes all over the place and 

bacteria in your stool can also splash onto your toothbrush.

Now, we are going to talk about proper brushing habits out with HASS

First of all, brush your teeth evenly using a toothbrush with soft bristles.

Second, don’t use the toothbrush too long,

Change to a new one at least 3months a once.

When toothbrush bristle wear out,

You need to change it too.

Third, brush your teeth for 2~3 minutes, not too long.

If it is hard to do it, set the timer for 2 minutes.

Fourth, when you brush your teeth,

Brush your teeth evenly up and down from the gum.

Don’t forget to brush the gum line and tongue side!

Fifth, do not brush immediately after eating or drinking,

it is good to brush your teeth after about 20~30 minutes.

When you eat foods or something, your mouth turns acidic,

strong acids corrode the thin film on the tooth surface.

At this time, if you brush your teeth right away,

You will brush your teeth without any protective material.

This behavior can corrode the teeth.

The acidified oral environment after eating may lead to faster tooth wear.

Sixth, store your toothbrush in an open place.

If you store your toothbrush in the bathroom,  

put it in a well-ventilated case after using it.

Keep toothbrushes away from cleaning supplies, toilets, or sinks.

Store it so that it does not overlap with other toothbrushes.

Lastly, the most important thing is that you should choose the right, proper toothbrush with soft bristles.

Brush your teeth, adjacent teeth, gum line for 2~3 minutes.
