As with many health-related issues, with dental care<\/strong> What we know about our mouths often differs from one another. Doctors believe that the habits we believe to be true and to follow throughout our lives are not as beneficial to oral health as we might think.<\/p>\n

What Are the Misconceptions About Dental Care? 7 Misconceptions<\/h2>\n

With dental care<\/strong> What are the common misconceptions about teeth and what can be done to protect our teeth in the healthiest way possible?<\/p>\n

Myth 1: Brushing your teeth harder means cleaning them better.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we apply too much pressure while brushing our teeth, we cause abrasions on our teeth. When the enamel layer on our teeth is damaged, the yellow layer just below it becomes visible and the teeth lose their whiteness and begin to yellow. In addition, harsh movements while brushing our teeth can cause extreme sensitivity and gum recession.<\/p>\n

Myth 2: We should brush our teeth with baking soda and salt to whiten them.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Since both baking soda and salt contain large particles, they can scratch the enamel layer of the teeth and cause erosion. Thus, the teeth lose their shine and begin to yellow more quickly.<\/p>\n

Myth 3: We should wet the toothpaste and brush before brushing our teeth.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Wetting our brush before brushing our teeth does not provide any benefit, on the contrary, it causes harm. Wetting causes the bristles of the brush to soften, and the toothpaste should foam in the mouth on its own.<\/p>\n

Myth 4: Tooth decay is genetic and impossible to prevent.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tooth decay occurs at different levels from person to person, some of the reasons for this are related to heredity. However, not giving the necessary importance to oral hygiene, bad eating habits or ignoring dentist check-ups means inviting cavities.<\/p>\n

Myth 5: Teeth should bleed during brushing.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If our teeth bleed while brushing, this is not a sign of health, but a sign of gum disease. You should consult your dentist as soon as possible and explain the situation. In order to prevent this bleeding from getting worse, the inflammation will increase even more in teeth that are not brushed. It is best to carefully and thoroughly brush the area where the bleeding occurs and then consult your dentist.<\/p>\n

Myth 6: Having tartar removed damages teeth.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If applied correctly, cleaning tartar is one of the necessary procedures for oral health. It is not true that it damages tooth enamel. When tartar is cleaned, it is not about the tooth tissue, but about unwanted parts such as plaque and tartar that accumulate on the tooth surface.<\/p>\n

Myth 7: Crooked teeth are present from birth and impossible to correct.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Orthodontic methods developed to correct crooked teeth can be applied at all ages as long as there is no tooth loss. In short, teeth that are crooked from birth can be given an aesthetic appearance at any age. Healthy days.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
