Answer:
aggressive brushing.
Three generations ago we did not have toothbrushes in India and even today''s generation learned brushing by observation from family. What we need is to learn the proper techniques of brushing from professionals.
Here are some measures we can implement in our daily life to avoid Hard brushing:
Brush twice daily for a maximum of two to three minutes: Brushing more than two times a day and more than two to three minutes each time is inadvisable as it causes enamel erosion.
Wait half an hour after meals before brushing: After meal your teeth''s outer layers or enamel are temporarily softened. Brushing the teeth immediately after rubs acids from the food into the enamel, breaking them down and intensifying the sensitivity. Waiting half an hour before brushing lets your saliva naturally neutralize the acids.
Use Bass technique for brushing: Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle, brush gently in a circular motion, and hold the toothbrush in your fingertips, not in the palm of your hand. First, the outer surface of the teeth is cleaned followed by the inner surface present around the tongue. Lastly, brush the chewing surface of the teeth to end up with the brushing session.
Brush gently: Vigorously brushing or rubbing too hard isn''t necessary to remove plaque, Thoroughness is the key. Plaque is very soft and sticky film containing millions of bacteria and it builds on your teeth. If you have tooth sensitivity, opt for a soft bristle toothbrush and special anti-sensitivity toothpaste that are designed for sensitive teeth.
Change your toothbrush every three months: Consult an experienced dentist regularly to find out the best toothbrush as per your dental health. Replace toothbrushes every 3 to 4 months, even sooner if the bristles are splayed or you had been sick. Children tend to brush more rigorously than adults, they may need their toothbrushes replaced more often.
Visit a dentist regularly for routine checkups: Regular checkups also help understand the required measures that must be implemented in the daily oral hygiene routine preventing any damage. As they say "Prevention is better than cure".
If one starts following the above measures, sensitivity can be prevented from worsening to a large extent. The key to good health is invariably strengthened pearly whites, because oral conditions if untreated can ravage and weaken the body. These simple measures if taken can prolong the life of the teeth, gums and thus the overall well being of a person. Let''s prioritize & brush up our dental care. Be true to your teeth and they won''t be false to you. "We don''t want our teeth to be as scarce as hen''s teeth".
