The first stage of oral health practices is tooth brushing. The aim here is to remove the bacterial plaque, which we know adheres very tightly, by scraping the large tooth surfaces and the nooks and crannies where the teeth and gums meet with the help of a brush. It is necessary to position the toothbrush inclined towards the gums and try to reach between the teeth as much as possible. These days are extremely important. Because gum diseases start in the gaps where these two teeth meet. Likewise, interface caries begin at the interface where two teeth meet and where the toothbrush cannot reach.
The second stage, dental floss, comes into play when the toothbrush cannot reach between the teeth. It should be carefully advanced towards the gum from the point of contact of both teeth with each other, inserted into the deepest accessible part of the gum and the tooth surfaces should be scraped with a rope.
The third stage is tongue cleaning. Even if we have cleaned every surface of the teeth well in the first two stages, we have only cleaned a quarter of the surface of the mouth. There are many places in our mouth where food residue and microorganisms can stay and reproduce. Language comes first among these. Cleaning the tongue is very important. If brushing with a toothbrush is thought to be insufficient, tongue scrapers and tongue brushes specially produced for this purpose will be very useful.
4. and the last stage is mouthwash. An additional mouthwash we use will easily reach every part of the mouth, even the throat. An antiseptic mouthwash suitable for daily use will be beneficial in permanently protecting oral health by affecting potential pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth, especially with continuous use in the morning and evening.
