gum problems
|
Are you trying to remove food from around your teeth and gums when you are brushing? It is impossible to remove all food and bacteria from your mouth when you are cleaning. What are aim is when you are instructed to clean is to change the micro-environment around the teeth and gums which will stop the disease process for decay and gum disease.
In gum disease, by using piksters dipped in mouthwash in between your teeth you are stopping the bacteria from increasing in number and causing the inflammation which results in gum pockets.
When cleaning your teeth the action of the bristles of the brush remove the bacteria from the teeth and stops the acid that they produce from dissolving the surface of the tooth.
The use of good manual toothbrushes or electric tooothbrushes and interdental brushes is essential for a healthy mouth.
