Proper oral care is not only abouta guarantee of health, but also a beautiful "Hollywood" smile. It is unlikely that anyone will want to communicate with you if you have rotten teeth and, as a result, bad breath. And all this can lead to very sad consequences, up to the development of a strong inferiority complex. However, this problem is not only aesthetic - as a rule, people with bad teeth have problems with the stomach, since poorly chewed food provokes gastritis and various diseases of the digestive system. Dental care involves a timely visit to the dentist, even just for prevention. But how to prevent dental diseases in time? This is a simple and proven method - proper teeth cleaning. It would seem that what could be simpler, but not everyone knows how to properly care for the oral cavity. Because of this, they then have all the problems associated with a beautiful smile. It is absolutely not necessary to spend a lot of money on what can be saved by competently doing prevention. Dental care will take much less time and money than caries treatment.
Teeth cleaning
Oral care begins with brushing your teeth.And it is very important to do it correctly. A few strokes with a worn-out brush - this is clearly not what your teeth need. Let's look at a few simple rules, the observance of which will help you avoid many problems:
- When and how much?
The fact that brushing your teeth is necessary isat least twice a day – in the morning and in the evening – even a child knows. No matter how tired you are during the day, you simply must brush your teeth – dental care should be regular! It is very important to clean all surfaces of the teeth – this will take you at least three minutes. Even the movements of the brush should be specific, namely – from the gums to the end of the teeth, and not vice versa, which is not unimportant. The upper teeth must be brushed from top to bottom, but the lower ones, on the contrary, from bottom to top. The inner side of the teeth also needs to be thoroughly cleaned, because this is where the largest number of harmful bacteria accumulates, which cause our teeth to become unusable. Ideally, it would be better to use dental floss to clean the interdental space. Of course, ideally, you should brush your teeth after each meal, but since this is very difficult in practice, you can rinse your mouth with warm water after eating. But the vaunted chewing gum will not be able to protect you from caries.
- Brush and paste selection.
You should choose a brush with medium bristles.жесткости — мягкая щетина не удалит весь налет должным образом, а жесткая может повредить целостность эмали . Форма щётки в идеале должна быть выпуклая, что гораздо облегчит процесс чистки зубов. И не забывайте вовремя менять щетку — не реже одного раза в три месяца. Паста же — это отдельный разговор — противовоспалительная, отбеливающая, фторсодержащая. В идеале подобрать пасту вам должен помочь ваш врач-стоматолог. В противном случае уход за зубами будет неполноценным. 
Care for gums and tongue
It is also important not to forget about oral care.mouth - in particular, behind the gums, because the health of the teeth depends on their condition. And this is the weak point of many people, unfortunately. But in most cases, it is very easy to avoid problems - oral care is quite simple and will not take you much time. Do your gums often bleed? Try to rinse daily with sauerkraut brine or St. John's wort decoction - both act in this case as a good antiseptic. It will take only two or three days for the problem to recede. If this does not help, you will have to resort to good old chamomile. Put three tablespoons of chamomile flowers in a thermos, pour one glass of water and leave for 12 hours. Then strain the broth and divide it into two parts - for the morning and evening. Rinse your mouth until the bleeding stops. If there is no improvement after a week, be sure to seek help from a dentist. Do not forget about the need to massage your gums - sometimes regular brushing is not enough. Buy a toothbrush with the softest bristles, designed for small children. After each brushing, massage your gums with this brush - at least three minutes. Bleeding and inflammation will disappear quite quickly. Of course, if the treatment is comprehensive. And as a preventive measure, massage is very, very good. Oddly enough, not only teeth and gums, but also the tongue require certain care. After all, sometimes bad breath occurs not only because of sore teeth, but also because of plaque on the tongue. But people think about this very, very rarely. In most cases, it is enough to buy a special toothbrush, the back of which is designed specifically for cleaning the tongue. To clean your tongue, you can use a wooden spoon - it's very easy to do. Stand in front of a mirror and clean your tongue from the root to the tip, but not vice versa. Finish this procedure by rinsing your mouth with plenty of water. Watch the water temperature - the oral cavity is very sensitive and you can get a burn very easily. A mixture of baking soda with a few drops of lemon juice diluted in water will help get rid of the yellow plaque. Just clean your entire oral cavity with this mixture. But you should do this procedure no more than twice a month, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the tooth enamel.
Proper nutrition
No care, even the best and most thorough,teeth will not help to avoid problems if your diet is far from ideal. Be sure to strictly monitor your menu. Fermented milk products are rich in calcium, which is so necessary for the health of teeth, nails and the skeletal system. In addition, it is very important to eat a complete and varied diet so that the body receives all the necessary vitamins, minerals and microelements. In the off-season, when there are few fruits and vegetables, ask your doctor to select a suitable vitamin and mineral complex for you. Not only your teeth, but also your nails, hair and your entire body will thank you for this. Let us repeat once again - the complex should be selected by a doctor. You should not rely on advertising, reviews of friends and acquaintances - what is good for one person may not be suitable for another. We recommend reading:
