Each of us has heard stories about people who never brushed their teeth and had no problems doing so.. So, most likely, these people either did not know about the presence of diseases in themselves, because they did not visit dentists, or they lied (for some reason, no one considers this option).

Oral health is only partially dependent on genetic predisposition, but to a greater extent - it is on the level of hygiene.. And now we will figure out exactly how oral care or lack of it affects health..

Where do caries and other oral diseases come from Within a few hours after brushing, plaque begins to form on the teeth - a thin film of bacteria, food debris, dead cells of the oral mucosa. If you do not clean regularly, plaque will accumulate, harden, turning into tartar..

Bacteria contained in plaque cause inflammation of the gums, corrode tooth enamel, provoking the appearance of caries.. These problems in the absence of timely treatment are transformed into more serious diseases, such as periodontitis or pulpitis..

All this can be avoided only with the help of regular and high-quality hygiene.. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and in some clinical situations more often, after each meal. It is worth choosing a brush responsibly - it should not be too soft or hard just for you.. Proper brushing technique must be followed. And most importantly: in addition to a toothbrush, you should clean your mouth with an irrigator.
