If you want to protect your teeth from tooth decay and other diseases, you should pay a lot of attention to dental care. In addition to brushing twice a day, using your toothbrush correctly is also a must.
For example, incorrect brushing does not completely remove plaque. This in turn can lead to tartar forming. In today's blog post, we explain how you can best protect your teeth and prevent incorrect brushing.
Not brushing your teeth regularly promotes the formation of caries
Can you brush your teeth incorrectly? The answer is yes! More and more dentists are reporting on patients who brush their teeth incorrectly or irregularly. People who do not take daily dental care seriously will, over time, be confronted with periodontitis or tooth decay.
Daily brushing with our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrushdoesn't sound complicated at first. And it isn't. However, the first problems arise when you don't reach the sensitive spaces between your teeth due to incorrect brushing. In this particular case, deposits are not removed at all. This can sometimes lead to severe inflammation of the gums.
Not brushing your teeth at all? Now the problems really start
In order to brush your teeth properly, you need to follow the guidelines of the professionals. Brushing your teeth with pressure is rarely successful and can even lead to bleeding gums or inflammation.
It is better to gently move the brush of our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush in circular movements over the rows of teeth.
Important: Don't forget the back molars. Ideally, you should clean your teeth optimally from all sides and equally intensively.
Experts advise not to neglect dental care
Scrubbing your teeth too hard is unlikely to produce high-quality results. If you own our electric emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush, you know how gently, carefully and yet efficiently the brushes rotate, thus ensuring first-class cleaning.
If you still use a conventional toothbrush without an electric motor, you have to rotate the brush head yourself. It is important that you move the toothbrush as evenly as possible over your teeth. If you do this properly and routinely, you can also actively combat tooth decay.
Always remember that only brushing your teeth correctly will protect you from disease.
