DON’T BRUSH YOUR TEETH RIGHT AFTER EATING… WHY?
.
Turkey Medicals Foreigner Medical Service states, contrary to popular belief, stated that brushing teeth immediately after eating was wrong. So how and when is it right to brush? Turkey Antalya dentists made 8 important points.

“For clean teeth and oral hygiene, it is also necessary to know the correct brushing of the teeth, the brushing period and what byproducts to use.”Medical Park Antalya Hospital oral and Dental Health Specialist Dt., contrary to what is known, stated that it is more accurate to brush our teeth not immediately after meals or acidic drinks, but at least half an hour later, and explained how to have healthy and shiny teeth.

Teeth are our little organs. Not only does it help break down or break down nutrients, it also makes our voice sound right. It protects the surrounding tissues and also helps these tissues develop. But the most important thing is the self-confidence it gives aesthetically. Our teeth, which are in the foreground on our face, are healthy and shiny.

ARE YOU BRUSHING YOUR TEETH CORRECTLY?
.
“No one knows the need to brush their teeth 3 times a day. But very few people brush their teeth with the right technique. For dental and gum health, it is not only enough to brush your teeth, it is also necessary to regularly use materials such as dental floss, an interface brush to support decontamination. A balanced diet, reducing snacks between meals and using dental cleaning products containing fluoride are of great importance for ensuring our oral hygiene.

BRUSHING IMMEDIATELY AFTER MEALS CAUSES WEAR
.
Mouth, where the gums are pink, without gum bleeding and swelling, is considered healthy. In addition, there should be no bad smell in the mouth. In order to protect our teeth, we must avoid sugary and acidic foods. Contrary to what is known, we should brush our teeth not immediately after meals or acidic drinks, but at least half an hour later. Because acidic and sugary foods make the surfaces of teeth suitable for wear. When teeth have this sensitivity, we should not increase wear on the surface of the tooth with brush strokes. It is best to rinse our mouth with only water immediately after meals and brush after about half an hour. On the other hand, we should also avoid tea, coffee and cigarettes for both our overall health and dental health.

EARLY TREATMENT PROTECTS TEETH HEALTH
.
While the idea that’ every white tooth is healthy ‘is common, it is wrong. Because every person has a tooth color according to their skin color. Although the color of the tooth is close to yellow, we consider it healthy if it is rot-free and disease-free. The most common mistake in society is not going to the doctor without feeling pain or disease in our teeth. Dental checks in Turkey should be done regularly every 6 months. In this way, caries on the teeth can be noticed at the initial stage, can be treated more easily and painlessly. It is important to remember that the longer Turkish Antalya dental crown treatments are delayed, the greater the risk of losing teeth.

CHANGE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH EVERY THREE MONTHS
.
The first and most important step of brushing your teeth is choosing the right brush. Choose nylon, medium-hard toothbrushes. Use brushes with a large number of hairs on the tip and a short tip to move comfortably inside the mouth. It is also very important to change the toothbrush used every 3 months. Because brushes that wear out hair are not effective in removing plaque from teeth. Loose hairs also make it difficult to reach the corners of the teeth. The possibility of fungi and bacteria growing between the bristles of toothbrushes over time is also reason enough to change your toothbrush..
