Diet and bacteria are the most important factors that cause caries and periodontal disease, so removing dental plaque is the basis for maintaining oral health.

Brushing your teeth can remove plaque, plaque and food debris, maintain oral hygiene, and protect the health of teeth and periodontal tissues.

Fluoride toothpaste is currently recognized in the world as the safest, simple, low-cost and effective caries prevention measure. Fluoride toothpaste can be used after the teeth erupt. To ensure safety and effectiveness, it is recommended that infants and young children aged 0-3 years use fluoride toothpaste with a fluoride concentration of 500-1100 mg/kg. Each dose is the size of a grain of rice (15-20 mg); children aged 3-6 years old should use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste; children over 6 years old and adults should use a soybean-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.

After brushing your teeth to remove dental plaque for several hours, plaque can reattach to the clean tooth surface and continue to form. Especially after falling asleep at night, saliva secretion decreases, the oral self-cleaning function is poor, and bacteria are more likely to grow.

Therefore, you should brush your teeth at least twice a day, and it is more important to brush your teeth before going to bed at night. It is recommended to brush your teeth with horizontal vibration brushing. When brushing your teeth, the bristles of the toothbrush cannot fully reach the gaps between teeth. If you can use dental floss or interdental brushes to help clean the gaps between teeth after brushing your teeth every day, you can achieve the purpose of thoroughly cleaning your teeth.

In addition, chewing sugar-free gum can stimulate saliva secretion, reduce oral acidity, and help freshen breath and clean teeth.
