Good oral health begins with brushing 3 times a day with fluoride toothpaste, followed by flossing. This is used to remove bacterial plaque<\/strong>, a white layer that sticks to the teeth, especially in the interdental spaces and near the gums, causing tooth decay and gum disease<\/strong> (gingivitis and periodontitis).<\/p>\n Brush your teeth, gums and tongue with a small-headed, medium-bristled toothbrush 3 times a day after meals.<\/strong><\/p>\n Brushing should be performed vertically, from the gums towards the teeth.<\/p>\n Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months.<\/p>\n Remember to brush your teeth for 2 minutes<\/strong>, not just 30-60 seconds.<\/p>\n It is essential to brush your teeth in the evening, to protect them from plaque acids: in fact, tooth enamel is more vulnerable at night because less saliva is produced during sleep.<\/p>\n Dental floss is the most important oral hygiene aid! <\/strong>In fact, the toothbrush only removes half of the plaque; the other half remains in the interdental spaces (between one tooth and the other) and causes interproximal (internal) caries and gum disease.<\/p>\n The dental floss removes plaque in the interdental spaces and below the gumline; it also stimulates the gums and helps keep them healthy, and can be effective in arresting the first signs of gingivitis.<\/p>\n Floss twice a day, especially in the evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the presence of bridges or dental implants, the use of a special crown and bridge floss is recommended.<\/p>\n Use fluoride mouthwash<\/strong>, which helps to prevent tooth decay, in the morning and in the evening after brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n The mouthwash also helps to have a fresher breath.<\/p>\n After oral surgery, or in the presence of gum disease, use special mouthwashes, prescribed by your dentist.<\/p>\n Remember that the consequences of poor oral hygiene are the onset of caries and painful inflammation of the gums and the risk of tooth mobility.<\/p>\n Furthermore, numerous clinical studies show a close relationship between gum disease caused by bacterial plaque accumulation and cardiovascular disease.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good oral health begins with brushing 3 times a day with fluoride toothpaste, followed by flossing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1041,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-prevenzione-dentale"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBrushing<\/h4>\n
