| Subject | Tips for Gangdong-gu residents in order to have healthy teeth and prevent periodontal disease. | ||

If you brush your teeth thoroughly, a lot of periodontal disease can be prevented. Q1. What does it mean to brush your teeth for 3 minutes? Usually, it is told to brush for 3 minutes, but most of the time, people normally brush their teeth for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds at the longest. In fact, 3 minutes is still not enough to wipe every corner of your teeth, therefore you have to brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. Q2. Which toothbrush is good to use and how to brush your teeth? It is best to choose a toothbrush with a soft and smooth brush that has a size of covering 2-3 teeth. Brushing should be always done from the gums to the top of the teeth. Sweep down from the top and sweep up from the bottom. Clean all sides of one tooth, the chewing side and the back of the molars. Q3. What is the toothbrush replacement cycle? The duration of use of a toothbrush is different for everyone because each person has a different force on the toothbrush, the arrangement of the teeth, the number of times they brush, or the duration of brushing. Usually it is known that a toothbrush should be renewed in 2-3 months, but if you have difficulty brushing your teeth because of the spread of hair, you can replace it regardless of the time period. Q4. Should I use dental floss or an interdental toothbrush? Most of the adults over 30 in Korea have periodontal diseases, although there are differences in degrees. It is a must to use dental floss and interdental toothbrush, and if you use a high-tech toothbrush that is easy to clean the molar area, you can accurately clean the hard-to-clean areas. Q5. Is it effective to use mouthwash? It is better than not using one, but mouthwash isn’t enough to clean your teeth. It doesn’t mean that you don’t have to brush your teeth just because you did a mouthwash. If you brushed your teeth thoroughly, mouthwash is not required. It is prescribed to help reduce the number of bacteria in patients who have had oral surgery and have difficulty brushing their teeth. Q6.What are the habits you should have in order to have healthy teeth? I would like to emphasize to Gangdong-gu citizens that it is important to brush your teeth daily in a correct method, and to visit your dentist regularly to get scaling and checkups. Also, it is important to be careful when eating hard texture food. |
