Brushing the teeth hard; Instead of cleaning the teeth, it causes abrasions that we call ‘brush caries’. As the enamel layer of the teeth is eroded, the underlying yellow layer is exposed and the teeth appear more yellow. In addition, hard brushing causes tooth sensitivity and gum recession.

Brushing well; It’s not about the hardness of the brush, it’s about the brushing technique. Generally, medium hard toothbrushes are used. Brushes that are too hard can wear down the teeth. Brushes that are too soft may not clean the teeth.

The toothbrush should not be wet before brushing. Because; When the bristles are wet, they lose their hardness. There is also enough liquid in the mouth for the paste to foam.

Caries susceptibility may differ between individuals. However, in the case of correcting bad eating habits, giving importance to oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the predisposition to caries does not matter.

Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, after breakfast and before going to bed. After brushing the teeth, the upper part of the tongue should also be brushed softly.

Scratching of the enamel layer of the teeth; It’s not about using the paste too much, it’s about the large granules of the paste used. Therefore, long-term use of pastes with large granules should be avoided. The amount of paste put on the brush should be in the size of a ‘lentil grain.

The color of the tooth does not determine the strength of the tooth.
