Cleaning teeth immediately after eating can harm more than bring benefits. Dr. Hanna Kinsella (Hanna Kinsella) from the Kiln Lane Dental clinic in the UK is sure. Daily protect the oral cavity from dental fly-film and bacteria, is reasonable, since the accumulation of dental plates contributes to the gum disease and caries. But it’s not necessary to do this immediately after eating every day, she told the EXPRESS edition.
“Many brush teeth immediately after eating to quickly get rid of food residues on teeth. But it can bring more harm than good. When using a mechanical toothbrush, many people firmly compress it in a fist. And it can damage the dental dental enamel – The substance that covers each tooth and creates a durable protective layer. Too strong pressure is dangerous, because it can slowly destroy the dental enamel, which is not restored by herself, “the Dr. Kinsella explained.
There are also products containing citric acid. They can soften the dental enamel for a while, and the cleaning of the teeth will damage the enamel at this moment. According to Dr. Kinsella, it is better to wait half an hour after eating before brushing your teeth, especially after the use of acidic food. The dentist advised to avoid excessive pressure on the teeth and gums when cleaning to keep the toothbrush for the tip so that you hold the handle for the letter. Holding the brush in this way, you will not press too much. At the same time, Dr. Kinsella noted that there is no difference between the usual and electrical toothbrush.
