To keep your teeth white, do not eat for an hour after brushing. Anton Ivanov, a dentist at Tyumen Regional Hospital No. 3, told the publication about this “Today Tyumen region”.
The doctor explained that when brushing with a toothbrush, we mechanically remove the thin layer full of bacteria and dyes, thereby polishing the teeth. The pellicle heals in about an hour, so it is better not to eat during this period. Professional oral hygiene, electric toothbrushes and whitening pastes will help keep your teeth white. However, pastes containing abrasive granules cannot be used constantly, as they can damage enamel and sensitize teeth.
“Various folk remedies are popular when it comes to whitening at home. Soda, salts, oils, coal, citric acid, etc. It is better that these methods are promoted by ordinary people and are perceived as a myth, since they do not have any proven effectiveness. “Unfortunately, there are no simple miraculous treatments and such practices harm the condition of the teeth and the entire oral cavity,” he said.
The doctor also added that it is better not to use trays containing whitening gel without the supervision of a dentist. Without proper control, they can damage the dental pulp.
Previously at the Ministry of Health reportedthat regular dentist visits reduce the risk of impotence.
