Dentist named common mistakes in dental care

On Thursday, September 18, Roman Wolberg, a dental surgeon, implantologist and periodontist, named the most common mistakes that lead to dental problems.

According to the doctor, one of the main enemies of oral health is haste. Daily dental care should take at least three minutes per set. Another couple of minutes should be allocated for using dental floss or a brush to clean the interdental spaces, he added.

"In less time, the active ingredients of the paste will not have time to act, and some areas will be completely ignored," the dentist said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

Wolberg noted that skipping the next procedure also causes damage to the teeth. Brushing teeth once a day is not enough to maintain good dental hygiene, the specialist emphasized. If bacterial plaque is not removed on time, once every 12 hours, then such a tooth becomes susceptible to caries.

The choice of a brush and paste also affects the condition of the oral cavity. According to the dentist, brushes with rubber inserts and bristles of different lengths are not the best option. It is better to give preference to an electric brush. In addition, modern devices are equipped with a timer, which allows you to calculate the required time for a complete procedure.

He also called the choice of fluoride-free toothpaste a common misconception. The use of fluoridated toothpaste is a good prevention of tooth decay, the expert noted.

In addition to a toothbrush and toothpaste, the dentist also advised regular use of dental floss and an irrigator.

He stressed that about 80% of patients use the wrong dental cleaning technique. Horizontal movements only shift plaque in different directions, without affecting important areas and hard-to-reach places, the dentist explained.
