To keep beautiful teeth, a few minutes a day is enough! By practicing simple oral care, you can prevent the onset of tooth decay and other gum discomfort.
Brushing your teeth, essential for oral health
Brush your teeth for two minutes, at least twice a day, after meals.
Choose toothbrushes with soft or medium bristles because they are just as effective as those with hard bristles and less aggressive on the gums and use a fluoride toothpaste.
THEmouthwashes: in addition to brushing teeth
Multi-protection, anti-bacterial and purifying formulas … A specific formula for each need.
Mouthwash helps to clean hard-to-reach interdental areas with a toothbrush. It helps fight against dental plaque, bad breath and protects the gums.
It is used daily after each brushing. Leave the product on for 30 seconds in the mouth and spit it out.
However, a mouthwash does not replace brushing the teeth, it is used in addition.
Floss to reach the spaces between the teeth
A real complement to tooth brushing, flossing is an effective way to remove food debris stuck between teeth, remove dental plaque and clean areas where the brush does not easily reach.
Cut 30 to 40 cm of dental floss, wrap its ends around your middle fingers or your index fingers and keep two cm free between the two. Use your thumbs to stretch the floss and gently slide it back and forth between your teeth. Use a piece of new wire between each tooth. Unwind the thread around your fingers as you clean.
Limit sugary foods to avoid cavities
Food is directly linked to oral hygiene. It is necessary to limit sugary foods and drinks and snacking between brushing, so as not to promote the development of bacteria and the appearance of dental caries.
Instead, prefer foods rich in fluorine (table salt enriched in fluorine, certain waters, dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, etc.) and calcium (dairy products).
Finally, don’t forget to visit your dentist at least once a year to check the condition of your teeth and gums.
