Young people today….may not be free even with a toothpaste.
Especially when I was about to brush my teeth in the morning, I suddenly saw the most terrifying 5 words—–You! tooth! paste! No! !
So I went to the supermarket to buy it, and suddenly found out —–Why the daily necessities that could be solved with small change in the past have now become the light luxury goods for migrant workers?
It is even known as “Hermes in toothpaste” – the Italian brand Marvis, directly priced at 69 yuan, seems to make people suddenly feel that “Little Times” is a realistic literature. !
The 9.9 yuan toothpaste is different from the 99 yuan toothpaste?
In the face of a dazzling array of toothpastes, there are various functions and prices, all kinds, anti-cavity, whitening, hemostasis, tooth sensitivity…
But in fact, in terms of the composition of toothpaste, there is not much difference between the cheap toothpaste and the expensive toothpaste.
It’s just that some toothpastes tend to have higher price positioning due to their relatively fresh and novel taste and strong brand influence.
And a good toothpaste must contain this ingredient—-fluorine, low-dose fluoride can help the tooth surface more stubborn, not only to prevent tooth decay , while not causing harm to the body.
Fortunately, most toothpastes contain low-dose fluoride, so when choosing a toothpaste, just grab a cheap fluoride toothpaste.
As for the so-called whitening, hemostasis and other effects, in fact, the effect is not great. If you want to take good care of your teeth, you have to start with other things.
But if your purse is too bulging and it’s hard to hold….you can buy those top toothpastes.
In addition to choosing toothpaste, if you want to stay away from oral diseases, you need to do 4 things:
First, brush more often
As we all know, brushing your teeth every morning and evening is the most basic requirement to keep your teeth healthy.
Whether brushing your teeth in the morning or at night is essential. For example, lack of morning brushing can lead to a large number of bacteria that continue to damage dental health throughout the day.
And if you don’t brush your teeth before going to bed at night, a lot of food residues will continue to accumulate and ferment during sleep at night, which will cause great harm to oral health.
Second, the right way to brush your teeth
If you want to effectively keep your teeth healthy by brushing your teeth, in addition to paying more attention to the number of times you brush your teeth, it is also very important to master the correct brushing method.
For example, during the brushing process, be sure to control the toothbrush from the three directions of vertical, horizontal, and oblique to thoroughly clean the teeth. And it is best to control the length of each brushing to more than five minutes.
Third, rinse your mouth in time
Teeth play an important role in chewing food.
At the end of every meal, a large amount of food debris will remain in the gaps between the teeth. At this time, if you fail to develop the good habit of gargling in time, it is easy to cause yellow teeth, plaque and even calculus.
Fourth, regular cleaning
A lot of people don’t know enough about teeth cleaning, and some people mistakenly believe that teeth cleaning will cause the gap between the teeth to increase.
In fact, as long as the teeth are cleaned under regular operation, it will not cause harm to the health of the teeth.
And through regular tooth cleaning, it is very effective to thoroughly clean the gaps between the teeth and clean the dead corners, which has always been very important in helping to prevent dental diseases.
I’ve run out of toothpaste, do I need another one?
Some people think that if the same toothpaste is used for a long time, the bacteria on the teeth will gradually develop “drug resistance”, and the ingredients of the toothpaste will not be able to kill the bacteria, which is not conducive to oral protection.
But in fact, this is completely unfounded.
Its own “resistance” is mainly aimed at antibiotics, and toothpaste does not contain antibiotics or other special drug ingredients, so naturally there will be no so-called “resistance
” strong>”.
Of course, using the same toothpaste for a long time may make you lose the freshness. You can use the new flavor completely, but there is no need to change it out of fear of resistance.
After all, brushing your teeth is both serious and fun!
