Opinions about when to brush your teeth before or after breakfast split up. And that’s why.
You can brush your teeth until breakfast and after. But there are nuances.
Till breakfast
If you love to have your breath fresh from the morning, then you need to walk a few minutes after waking and brush your teeth.
Because that’s how you clean the tooth enamel, the tongue from the plaque, and it will not get along with the food into the body. Otherwise, microorganisms, which cause various disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, may also enter the stomach in the course of the attack.
But if you clean your teeth before breakfast, then you should rinse your mouth with water, salt water and water. And even better – a rinse aid for the mouth, which will reset the food and cleanse it from the bacteria.
After breakfast
Experts who adhere to the opinion that teeth need to be cleaned exclusively after breakfast, warn – just do not immediately run out of the kitchen into the bathroom, grab a toothbrush and begin to clean.
The fact is that after eating the tooth enamel softens. As some products get into the oral cavity of acid, and as soon as you start brushing it, you can help acid penetrate deeper into the tooth enamel and destroy it.
Therefore, you need to clean only 30-45 minutes after breakfast. When normal pH is restored in the oral cavity.
After each meal it is harmful to brush your teeth – you will only wash the tooth enamel
How to clean
Brush your teeth for 2-3 minutes. And the brush movements should be vertical rather than horizontal. That’s the way you can clean the remnants of food, and not drive them even deeper between the teeth.
Teeth should be cleaned on each side. With external and internal. We often do not pay enough attention to the inner part, and there may be unpleasant roughness and dark stripes on it. It is easy to get rid of it using a good brush and a good toothpaste. And also we forget to reach the distant wisdom teeth, where the dental plaque is accumulated very intensively. Especially good at these places are electric toothbrushes.
