We all have been hearing since childhood that we should brush our teeth every morning. And not only hearing, we often do this too. But do you know that often health experts recommend brushing before sleeping at night? Yes, to improve oral health, you should sleep only after cleaning your teeth every night. However, as important as it is to clean teeth, it is equally important to understand its technique. If you do not do it correctly, it can harm the health of your teeth. Let's know about it in detail...
How long should we brush after dinner? According to an article published on the website of 'Indian Express', we should not brush immediately after dinner at night. Because our food contains some sour things like sour fruits and soda etc. All these things are acidic in nature. Due to this the pH level of your mouth decreases. This is the reason that at this time the uppermost layer of your teeth i.e. enamel becomes weak. So brushing at this time can weaken your teeth.
When to brush in the morning or at night? According to health experts, cleaning in the morning and evening is very important for the health of the teeth. But brushing before sleeping at night is very important. Therefore, you must brush after dinner before sleeping at night. However, you must take care of the time of brushing at this time. You should brush about 30 minutes after dinner. Brushing before this can cause dental problems. However, you need to brush both in the morning and at night.
How long should you brush? There is often a debate on how long you should brush. But health experts say that brushing for 2 minutes is the best for you. Along with this, you must keep in mind that it is important to clean all your teeth. Also, never forget to clean your tongue. Because it shelters the most bacteria.
