Dentist Kamala Allahverdieva told how often you need to change your toothbrush. The radio station reports “Moscow Speaks”.
According to the specialist, a new brush should be purchased in a timely manner, once every one and a half to two months. It should be soft or medium hard.
Allahverdiyeva also told how to properly brush your teeth.
“We hold the toothbrush like a pen, like a brush, in no case do we take it in a fist. This is just the prevention of pressure on the teeth, because the enamel and the cervical part of the tooth can be erased with a brush,” she shared.
The dentist noted that when brushing your teeth, you do not need to press on them with a brush – the pressure force is not equal to the cleaning efficiency, you can get a chronic injury to the gums.
According to the interlocutor of the radio station, you only need to clean out the gums: on the lower jaw – from the bottom up, on the upper jaw – from the top down. You should also not forget about the inner part of the teeth, palatine and lingual.
There also needs to be cleaned from the gums. And at the end – polish in a circular motion, but not necessarily up and down.
