Symptoms and courseHuman teeth are part of the digestive system and are hard, complex anatomical structures. They are used to grind and swallow food. An adult human being has 32 permanent teeth (if, of course, he has all his teeth). A tooth consists of three parts: the tooth crown, the tooth neck and the tooth root. To keep the teeth healthy and to perform their function properly, they need to be cared for regularly.

How do I look after my teeth? How often do you brush them?
Many people ask themselves how often they should brush their teeth. Sometimes you brush your teeth after every meal or drink, but this is not good. You should not exceed 5 brushes per day and the absolute minimum is 2 to 3 brushes. If you brush your teeth too often, it can damage the enamel and irritate the gums.
Youshould also not brush your teeth immediately after you have finished chewing your food; you should wait up to half an hour for the pH level in your mouth to rise. It is essential to brush your teeth in the morning and before going to bed (never forget this). Evening brushing in particular is very important as it is essential to remove food residues from the mouth. You must not allow bacteria to build up in the mouth.
Many people do not know how to brush their teeth properly, brush too often, brush too lightly or brush too hard (scratches on the gums, scarring, swelling). All of this shows that we are not able to walk away with a toothbrush. What is important is not the brushing itself but the brushing technique. The tooth brushing technique is not difficult to learn and a dentist can help us with this. The choice of toothbrush also plays an important role.
We should also remember about proper use of dental floss and diet. And don't forget to visit the dentist regularly if you want beautiful, healthy and strong teeth that will last a lifetime.
