Daily oral hygiene is something we are taught from early childhood. And that's a good thing! Why? If you don't brush your teeth regularly, gargle your mouth and throat or use dental floss, you risk tooth decay and periodontal disease, and as a result of holes in your teeth and inflammation of the gums, you may experience pain, bleeding gums and tooth loss.
As a result, inflammation caused by harmful bacteria can even spread to the body, for example to the jawbone or the lungs. With these prospects of diseases that can arise from bad teeth, you will certainly be happy to take a few minutes in the morning and evening to brush your teeth thoroughly.
In today's blog post we explain why daily dental care is important and how you can protect yourself from unpleasant diseases that can be caused by bad teeth.
The first impression counts
There is no doubt that white teeth are attractive. In addition, well-groomed teeth are a sign of success, because here too, you have to work on them every day.
To make this success in dental hygiene visible, all you need is insight, willpower and a toothbrush with toothpaste to do something to prevent harm to the body. In this way, you actively protect yourself from harmful bacteria, stay healthy and, as a result, get sick less often.
How proper dental care works
A tiger doesn't need to brush its teeth. It devours its meat and doesn't know sugar. Our diet, on the other hand, is full of it. It is this diet that encourages the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth and throat. You can do something about it.
Brush your teeth twice a day with our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush. Most electric toothbrushes recommend two to three minutes each, and for good reason. That's a good 30 seconds per quadrant, i.e. top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right, inside and outside.
You can also use mouthwash to reach the gaps between your teeth, making it particularly difficult for tooth decay to develop. After eating or once a week, you can use dental floss to remove food particles, which will also prevent your body from suffering any harm.
