Brush your teeth when it's best

One day should brush your teeth 3 times after each main meal, as recommended by the world dentist.

Doctor Duong Anh Tuan works at the Department of Dentistry in Ho Chi Minh City, said that dental care is an important part of each person's personal hygiene. However, not everyone knows how to brush teeth several times a day and at what time is appropriate.

As recommended by the world's leading dental experts, brushing teeth 2 to 3 times a day is best. If you brush your teeth less than once, your teeth are more likely to be attacked by bacteria. Brushing more than 3 times, the teeth are easily worn out by mechanical action, leading to a sensitivity later.

Tuan advised people to maintain the habit of brushing their teeth 3 times a day, after main meals. The most important of which is brushing your teeth after dinner. The evening is the longest rest period, from 6 to 8 hours, this time bacteria are easy to penetrate and destroy tooth enamel.

Most Vietnamese people have a habit of brushing their teeth immediately after waking up before eating breakfast. This method of hygiene is not correct, only works to eliminate mouth odor after a long night, if you eat immediately after that, your teeth continue to be attacked by bacteria. Therefore, it is best to just wake up and rinse your mouth with clean water or saline and eat breakfast, wait 30 minutes after brushing your teeth.

Note: After eating, do not brush your teeth right away, because there is still a large amount of acidic foods in your mouth that can soften your tooth enamel. Should wait about 30 minutes after eating is a golden time to brush your teeth. Need to clean teeth with floss before brushing your teeth.
