The lifelong brushing '333' rule was not the correct answer.

The secret hidden behind the 333 rule

 

 

Brushing your teeth with incorrect habits can threaten your dental health. The 3-3-3 rule you often hear may not always be correct. Let's learn about the proper way to brush your teeth.

 

The 333 rule states that you should brush your teeth three times a day, within three minutes after meals, for three minutes each time.

Be careful of foods that can damage the surface of your teeth if you brush your teeth within three minutes after a meal.

These include carbonated drinks, oranges, and cold noodles.

Foods that are highly acidic and corrode teeth.

 

 

 

To maintain cleanliness, toothbrushes should be replaced every 2 to 3 months.

 

Continuing to use a bent or deformed toothbrush makes it difficult to remove debris stuck between the teeth.

You can get a cut on your gums.

 

Brushing should thoroughly clean all areas, including the outer surfaces of the teeth, the inner surfaces, the chewing surfaces, the palate, and the tongue, without missing any spots.

 

Please carefully brush the inside inclined surfaces and chewing surfaces of your molars in order while looking in the mirror, as toothbrushes may not easily reach those areas.

 

No matter how much you brush your teeth, it is meaningless if you don't do it properly.

 

 

 

Toothbrushes sold in the market come in a wide variety of sizes and types.

 

When choosing a toothbrush, it is important to select a brush head that fits the size of your teeth.

 

If your teeth are small, it is recommended to use a toothbrush that is appropriately small in size.

 

Please be aware that brushing too hard can cause injuries to your gums and teeth.

Dental care using dental floss and interdental brushes

 

 

 

 

Interdental brushes should be used to clean between the teeth, aligning them horizontally with the gums.

Generally, after repeating the insertion about 2 to 3 times, rinse your mouth. At this time, you should carefully control the force so as not to forcefully insert the toothbrush between the teeth.

 

What is the appropriate size for the interdental brush's bristles? Since the size of the gaps between teeth varies from person to person, it is best to visit a dentist or pharmacy in person to compare and choose the right brush size before use.

 

 

 

When using dental floss, first cut it to about 50cm in length.

Wrap the ends of the dental floss around your middle finger.

Then, use your thumb and index finger to pull tightly and brush between the teeth as if sawing.

 

It is best to carefully manage while maintaining appropriate strength and direction by looking into the mirror.
