You do it every day, but do it correctly?
It is namely especially one thing many of us are doing wrong when we brush teeth.
You’re brushing too hard
– As a dental hygienist, I have daily many patients, and the biggest mistake I see is that they are brushing too hard, and often too hard toothbrush, say hygienist Joanna Michalopolos by Dentalia in Nydalen.
– Otherwise, the error slurving, and that it is in plaque especially lower-gum edge, she adds.
Hilde Aga, leader of Norwegian dental hygienist Association, agrees and believes people use too much force on the toothbrush and thus brushing too hard.

– Pusser you too hard, brushing away tannsubstanse and get brushing damage to teeth. Tannsubstanse that is lost can only be replaced with a filling material, she said.
According to Aga shalt put the brush in transition between the tooth and gum, because it is at the gumline bacterial coating plaques opposition.
– Move the toothbrush with short horizontal motions, slowly forward, she said.
Michalopolos explains that it is often advised to invest in an electric toothbrush.
– it takes more plaque, and with it, one can not so easily brush for hard – many lights when you brush too hard. One should never force the electric toothbrush, she said.
Do you use regular toothbrush, you should according Aga shift toothbrush around every three months.
– Replace when bristles splay, she said.

You rinse your mouth after brushing
A another thing that possibly many make is to rinse your mouth after you’ve brushed his teeth. It should not do.
– Toothpaste contains fluoride, and shall fluoride have an optimal effect, you should not rinse your mouth right after finishing plaster, says Haga.
Michalopolos voices.
– Research shows that it is good not to flush out all the toothpaste foam. It is good that the fluorine in toothpaste is long in the saliva ours, because it prevents cavities.
You shirks work
Most people have nights where they just do not bear to brush your teeth. But how bad is it really?
– It builds rapidly up a pellicle (protein film on the teeth), and when they multiply quickly if they get to sit in peace and not be sanded away – especially if they have sugar and carbohydrates to eat. Then they multiply very quickly, says Michalopolos.
The bacteria need time to dig into the enamel, so slurving evening with brushing gives caries, ie holes in the enamel.
– If you have poor brushing habits, such as going to sleep before brushing, you develop quickly poor oral hygiene with bacterial growth, tartar and bad breath, she continues.
and, forget for all part no tongue!
– You should brush your tongue because it accumulates bacteria on it that can create bad breath. If you are struggling with bad breath can also use tongue scraper, says dental hygienist.
Also floss you should use to get rid of food particles and plaque between teeth.
– People most think they have completely clean mouth when they have refurbished well. But it is not clean before every cleaning also between the teeth. After brushing is the 25% plaque in which the toothbrush can not reach, says Michalopolos.
Puss always two minutes
What is the most important thing to remember on when to brush your teeth?
– you use a soft toothbrush and brush well in transition tooth and gum, says Aga.
– Create an environment so that you brush all teeth and surfaces down to the gumline. Never use force and remember soft toothbrush, encourages Michalopolos.
You should always brush for two minutes twice a day. Michalopolos says that the evening is most important – otherwise the bacteria attack the teeth all night.
– It’s not good if it is left leftovers in the mouth at night. It builds up bacteria attacks rapidly, in fact after only two hours, says dental hygienist.
