Women use toothpaste like this to better maintain their teeth!

What else do you need to do to protect your teeth besides brushing your teeth every morning and evening? We all know that we have to use toothpaste when brushing our teeth, and choosing toothpaste plays a vital role in dental health. Female friends must not be careless.

To protect your teeth, in addition to choosing the right toothpaste, you also need to pay attention to how to use it. Use toothpaste with different functions in the morning and evening.

It is understood that in advanced European and American countries, more than 80% of people use toothpaste with different functions in the morning and evening to better protect their teeth. Professor Bi Liangjia, a member of the Periodontology Group of the Chinese Stomatological Association and a Japanese dental doctor, also strongly supports this approach. He told reporters that most oral problems are caused by bacteria, and the saliva secreted by the human mouth has a bactericidal function. During the day, the amount of saliva secreted is 3-4 times that of night, which can easily inhibit the production of bacteria. In addition, if you eat more during the day, food residues are easily left in the mouth. Therefore, the toothpaste used during the day should focus on the cleaning function, remove foreign matter and odor, and improve the disease resistance of gum tissue.

When a person is sleeping, the salivary glands secrete insufficiently and dryness can cause acidification of the mouth. In this case, it is easy for oral bacteria to multiply, causing various oral problems. Therefore, the toothpaste used at night should focus on antibacterial and bactericidal effects to reduce the nutrients available for bacterial growth and prevent caries.

If you use the same toothpaste both morning and night, you will lose sight of the other. Using only cleaning toothpaste for a long time will not be satisfactory in terms of antibacterial effect, while using only antibacterial toothpaste may cause an imbalance in the bacterial flora and lead to oral diseases. In addition, the whitening, desensitization, and hemostasis effects mentioned on the toothpaste packaging are only auxiliary and cannot be solved "once and for all" by a tube of toothpaste. If you want to whiten your teeth, you should start with your lifestyle habits, smoke less, and rinse your mouth after drinking tea. People with sensitive teeth should eat less sour and cold foods and avoid biting hard objects. If your gums bleed for a long time, it may be a sign of periodontal disease. You should go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment. Never put your hopes on toothpaste.

Adverse effects of medicated toothpaste

First of all, toothpaste cannot be kept in the mouth for too long, as it will be rinsed out, making it difficult for the medicine to take effect in a short period of time. In addition, the dosage of special medicines must avoid irritating the soft tissues in the mouth, so it cannot be increased to a sufficient effective concentration. The effect of toothpaste itself is often blocked by dirt in the mouth or limited by its morphological characteristics, making it difficult to reach the area where the disease actually occurs.

Secondly, the medicines in toothpaste often undergo other chemical changes due to being stored for a long time and lose their original efficacy. Effective medicines are often not suitable for being put into toothpaste due to their odor. In addition, there is the problem of drug resistance. These factors indicate that medicated toothpaste is not suitable for long-term use. Medicated toothpaste is a good idea, but to truly achieve the effect of preventing oral diseases, some in-depth research is needed.
