IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BRUSHING TEETH
.
The best Istanbul dentist who gives information about oral and dental health in Turkey says that it has many problems in this regard, we are unconsciously acting on the use of both toothbrushes and toothpaste. Here are the tricks to be considered for oral health.
Experts often criticize our habit of brushing teeth. ”We change the brush that we need to change every 4 months every 2 years,” said dentist in Istanbul, according to the results of a literature study that maps Turkey dental health and care.

60 PERCENT DON’T BUY TOOTHPASTE
.
“According to the study, 86 percent of the population does not brush their teeth, while 60 percent of houses do not enter toothpaste. A person should change a toothbrush 4 times a year, while 2.16 toothbrushes fall for every 4 people in Turkey. So a person uses a toothbrush for an average of 2 years.” A family of 4 needs to eat the amount of the annual putty tube 24, but according to research, this figure was 14.4, indicating, “toothbrush flossing so important in our country and also the use of mouthwash is almost negligible. Fifteen percent of people who regularly brush their teeth 2 times a day in Turkey. As a result of a survey of 500 people in the 35-44 age group, it was found that 5 percent of these people never went to dentist tooth filling in Turkey. In our country, an average of 3 thousand dentists graduate annually. There are 45 public universities, 14 private universities. Despite the increase in the number of dentists, people cannot get enough services because adequate employment cannot be provided to dentists,” he said.

WE HAVE 1 BILLION BACTERIA IN OUR MOUTH
.
Also Antalya Dentist listed how to fight this depressing picture as follows: “we have 1 billion bacteria in our mouth. Bad bacteria do not breed if the tooth is brushed. It may not be possible to brush 3 times a day, only 1 time, but always brush with care. It is especially necessary to brush teeth at night, bacteria increase at night. Clean teeth mechanically. Let the brush hair touch every point. Use dental floss. Don’t call it a bruise. Each is a threat to the body. An abscess or bruise on any tooth can even cause your neck pain, affecting the enzyme in the liver. Sugar-free gum provides mechanical cleaning. Brushing your teeth in the morning cleanses the bad bacteria that accumulate in our mouth all night long. It is important to consume green leafy vegetables, eggs, Yesil, meat to strengthen teeth. If genetically weak tooth enamel, it is necessary to make a special application. In our country, 83 percent of the 0-12 age group has tooth decay. Oral health education is required in kindergartens and primary schools.”

WE WANT TO BUILD AN ARMY OF TURKISH VOLUNTEER DENTISTS
.
“Toothpaste is also used in Turkey, unfortunately, in a very unconscious way. The American Dental Association estimates that a woman is optimally about 3 mg per day., a man’s maximum of 4 mg per day. he suggests he take fluoride. According to research literature, no more than a quarter of a milligram of fluoride should be ingested in a single scrub. Especially children should be very careful. Because there are studies that fluoride has a negative effect on intelligence.”said dentist, explained his project that he is working to make it happen:
Our call in this project will be that each dentist will take 30 children under his protection and take care of the teeth. The project we’re talking about involves only care, not treatment. By doing this, we want to use the power of Preventive Medicine by instilling the habit of going to dental checkups from childhood. If they come to check once a year from the age of 1 to the age of 6, and twice a year from the age of 6, during the February holiday and before the schools open, these children will make a habit of brushing their teeth, the rate of caries problems in society will decrease. Dentists can voluntarily take charge of 30 children. It takes 1 or no more than 2 days a month to do this. In this way, our oral and Dental Health Statistics will change within 5-10 years. Because we are a country of adults who do not care about dental health. 3 thousand dentists graduate every year. But if we say that we should do dental treatments all over Turkey right now, all dentists should work 24/7 for 60 years.
Adults have the biggest task of setting an example for children in Turkey. The cheapest contribution parents can make to the child teeth health in Turkey and quality of life of their children is to teach it.

DENTAL CLEANING TRAINING SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRICULUM
.
A journalist and newscaster Turkey Medicals who brought toothbrush to Turkey together with some dentist scientists, mentioned other projects they wanted to implement in Turkish schools:
We believe that the importance of dental health cost in Turkey, dental care should be given from a young age, more children from kindergarten, nursery age. There are these practices abroad; schools provide information about dental health, and there are countries that have developed a system that will allow parents to check and monitor at home. So we have prepared a project about this and we want to present it to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. Maybe in the future, the family ministry… it’s very important that these three legs move together. We met with authorized units in ministries and created a dental health training program that will first start with pilot regions and then spread throughout Turkey. We want to start from kindergarten, nurseries and get it in primary school, and even include it in the curriculum in education is one of our dreams. Perhaps thanks to this project, we can also enable unconscious adult individuals who are the majority in our society in oral and dental health to be educated by their own children. We want to start this in more rural areas rather than big cities. Because we think our children there need this education more.
Dentist and journalist and newsreader Turkey Medicals Medical collaborated to bring Misoka to Turkey, which is produced using nanotechnology in Japan and whose biggest feature is the use of toothpaste without it. Giving information about the brush, Turkey Medicals specialist noted that the product can be useful in the use of uncontrolled toothpaste.
