Dental plaque that causes dental caries or periodontitis is colonizing bacteria. It increases using the glucide remains in our mouth. While sleeping, only a little amount of saliva is secreted and dental plaque increases most quickly. So, "4 times a day" brushing is ideal - after each meal and before bedtime. However, without care, brushing four times a day can't remove plaque. The frequency is important, but careful brushing is more important.



The tooth cleaning before bedtime is the most effective. Although the oral cavity is always while awake washed by saliva, only a little amount of saliva is secreted while sleeping and dental plaque increases most quickly. Because dental plaque increases using the glucide remains in our mouth, the brushing after meal is also effective.

Teeth may be colored by tea, coffee, red wine or cigarette. Severe stain can be removed easily by brushing and in such a case, you should go to dental clinic. However, until the stain is fixed to the teeth by such a drink or cigarette, many days are needed. So, by performing daily brushing correctly, you can prevent the adhesion of the stain.



It is said that correct brushing needs 10 minutes.Although 10 minutes brushing may be difficult in every time, at least once a day, before bedtime, you should do 10 minutes brushing. It may prevent your dental caries or periodontitis.
