BRUSH YOUR TEETH!
[/ux_text]
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), it is sufficient to brush your teeth twice a day. One of the most important times to brush your teeth is before going to sleep. The main reason is that, during sleeping hours, the glands secrete less saliva and the mouth is drier, so not eliminating the residues with tooth brushing will cause a more significant development of bacteria. In this section, we will see the three most essential parts of brushing.

Did you know!
[/ux_text]
Even though brushing our teeth is a habit that we have been repeating daily since we were children, according to different studies, it has been shown that 80% of people do not brush their teeth correctly. Similarly, other studies revealed that the area behind the front teeth is the least brushed and that most of the population spends less than two minutes on each brushing, that is, less than the duration recommended by dentists. For this reason, at Channel Islands Family Dental, we want to explain the best way to brush our teeth. We will also tell you about the best tools we have to achieve and maintain perfect oral hygiene, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash recommended for you.

For a proper brushing, the first thing we must do is
divide our mouth into four quadrants: two upper halves and two lower halves.
Dedicate at least 30 seconds to brush each quadrant, which will take us a total
of 2 minutes of brushing. To help us, we can use a stopwatch or listen to our
favorite song. The position of the toothbrush will vary according to the area of
the tooth to be brushed.

Before brushing, wait at least 30 minutes after eating,
especially if something acidic is consumed: doing it immediately after can
eliminate the enamel of the teeth that the acid would weaken.

It is important to know how much toothpaste to use.
From 0 to 3 years of age, an amount of toothpaste similar to a grain of rice
should be used, increasing to the size of a pea from 3 years of age to adults.

Place the brush horizontally at a 45º angle to the gums and make sweeping movements. That is, slide the brush from the gums towards the grinding edge of the teeth. These movements should be short and with gentle pressure. If you brush hard, you damage the tooth enamel and gums without removing food debris or dental plaque. In this position, you will first brush the upper teeth’ outer surfaces, starting with the back area of the right quadrant, then the left quadrant, and continue with the lower left quadrant, and then the right quadrant.

- Store the toothbrush in an upright position, allowing it to air dry. If stored in a closed container, germs will have more opportunities to grow.
- Use fluoride toothpaste because it helps strengthen and protect teeth and is the best anticaries agent.
- Avoid rinsing with water because the beneficial effects of fluoride are diminished. It is recommended to spit, not rinse.
- Use dental floss and mouthwash at least once a day.

The toothbrush should be adjusted to the size of our mouth. For this reason, we should choose a toothbrush that can move easily and brush the inner and outer sides of the teeth. The toothbrush must also reach those areas that are difficult to access, such as the back molars.

• Toothbrush with hard bristles:
Some people believe that choosing this toothbrush type results in better brushing and more effective oral hygiene. However, it is unnecessary to use very hard brushes or exert too much pressure on the teeth and gums when cleaning our teeth. Prolonged use of a stiff bristle brush is not advisable. Over time it can wear down the dental enamel, cause tooth sensitivity and generate lesions in the gums.

It would be best if you replaced your toothbrush when it shows signs of wear or every three months. It is also important to change toothbrushes after having a cold since the bristles accumulate germs that can cause a new infection.

The most common problem is tooth decay, so the main recommendations are to use toothpaste with fluoride and make at least one annual visit to the dentist. At Channel Islands Family Dental, we advise you to use toothpaste with a fluoride content of more than 1,000 particles per million (ppm). This is because the fluoride will help increase the enamel’s strength, stop the growth of tartar-producing bacteria, and remineralize the enamel layer and make it stronger.

In cases of periodontal diseases such as gingivitis (which causes bleeding gums) it is also possible to use a toothpaste that, in addition to the fluoride part, uses some antiseptic. If you notice bleeding in your gums, you can see the Oxnard Dentist, Ventura Dentist, Port Hueneme Dentist, Santa Paula Dentist so that our dentist can diagnose it and indicate the best treatment.

If you present with tooth sensitivity due to enamel wear, we recommend using a toothpaste designed to plug those pores of the tooth that cause us so much pain. This occurs because the nerve is closer and closer to the surface and sudden temperature changes cause this pain to appear.

HOW TO CHOOSE A MOUTHWASH?
Mouthwash is an essential product in oral hygiene because it penetrates every corner of the mouth and eliminates microorganisms and bacteria that form tartar and plaque. They also help fight bad breath and help prevent gum disease.
