People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be "deceived"? Many understandings are originally misunderstandings, and when people say too much, they cover up the truth. Thinking that we can grow "wildly" without the protection of the truth, it is a great fortune in misfortune.

But don't get too complacent, the current safe and sound does not mean that you can rest easy in the future. Five oral misunderstandings, and countless people were shot just by the first one!

Brush your teeth horizontally or vertically?

Remember, our teeth have a layer of enamel that protects them. Since it is a good thing to protect teeth, shouldn't we take good care of it? Unfortunately, brushing your teeth sideways happens to damage the enamel pattern that grows from top to bottom. Once the enamel is damaged, its self-repair process is quite long.

In addition, brushing your teeth horizontally often makes the junction of the root of the teeth and the gums not cleaned in place, and over time, plaque outbreaks can lead to oral diseases. It can be seen that in the world, in addition to not walking sideways, it is also not advisable to brush your teeth sideways.

Does it get wet after squeezing toothpaste?

The reason why this issue has stumped a large number of people can be said to be because both the "wetted" and "non-wetted" parties are strong.

On the one hand, a toothbrush soaked in water can quickly generate a large amount of foam, covering the surface of the teeth to be cleaned, saving time and effort; however, too much toothpaste foam can easily give people the illusion that the cleaning is complete, implying or even prompting people to shorten the cleaning time. On the other hand, toothpaste brushing without water is considered by many scholars to effectively exert the cleaning effect of toothpaste. However, the toothbrush without water is too hard and easily causes unnecessary damage to the gums.

The conclusion is that there are pros and cons to preferring dry brushing or wet brushing, and it is the correct brushing style and proper cleaning that are the most critical.

Brush your toothbrush for dozens of seconds?

The slogan of Japanese dentistry is "within 30 minutes after a meal, brush for more than 3 minutes." Oral cleaning is still a hassle? It's too random. There are 28 teeth in the human mouth, and a tooth has multiple faces. Thinking about it carefully, it takes 28 seconds for a tooth to be cleaned for only one second. If the task of brushing your teeth is completed in dozens of seconds, the editor will be embarrassed for you.

Wisdom teeth extraction will make your face thinner?

Focus! Face shape is determined by facial bones not teeth! The "melon seed face" and "oval face" presented by different people are in the final analysis the "credit" of the mandible. Some people have swollen gums and swollen faces after their wisdom teeth are removed. In addition, the removal of wisdom teeth often leads to loss of appetite and inability to swallow. The recovery of the face after the swelling and pain subsides and the reduction of diet are the reasons why people have the "illusion" that the face has become thinner after wisdom teeth extraction!

Will the gap between the teeth become larger after cleaning?

Never carry the pot of "grow between your teeth" when scaling your teeth! The real damage to the teeth is the calculus and plaque, which adhere to the surface of the teeth and destroy the teeth recklessly. Scaling not only effectively eliminates these diseases, but also helps us to understand the things that are not cleaned in the usual cleaning. It is plaque and calculus that destroy the gap between the teeth, and the cleaning is responsible for expelling these threats.

Toothache is over?

Can't bear the toothache because the body is too "squeamish"? Just bear with it, and your teeth will not hurt after you sleep? Toothache is often accompanied by dental diseases, such as periodontitis, pulp infection, etc. If not treated in time, it will cause serious consequences. Therefore, if you feel a toothache, you must go to a professional dental hospital to see it. Remember not to appease the pain just because it is good.

Those who do not know are innocent, but as human beings, questioning and thinking are our tools for truth. The road ahead is always full of wind and rain. I hope that these misunderstandings can be solved to help readers establish correct oral knowledge and effective oral care methods.
