Specialized doctors have revealed mistakes that we all make when cleaning our teeth, which is the reason behind their yellowing and the caries problems that we suffer from.
According to the Mirror newspaper, Dr. Farrak Hameed said, “The mistake that leads to yellowing of the teeth is using the brush directly for cleaning before wetting it with water.”
He added: “This small step makes it easier to distribute the toothpaste to all of your teeth, making brushing more effective.”
Hamid continued: “When you wet the brush, it becomes softer and therefore gentler on your gums and teeth, which helps avoid any irritation or damage.”
Al-Tabbi said: “A quick splash of water on the toothbrush can make a big difference in maintaining oral hygiene.”
The doctor also revealed another mistake that leads to damage to the health of the teeth and their yellowing, saying: “Brushing the teeth shortly after eating acidic foods can lead to the erosion of the enamel, and this reveals the yellow layer underneath.”
He added: “To avoid this, it is best to wait for some time after eating acidic foods before brushing your teeth, which ensures that the enamel remains strong and the teeth are healthy.”
He added: “To get fresh breath and a healthy mouth, it is important to have a good brushing routine, gently brushing teeth for two minutes twice daily, using products such as mouthwash or antimicrobial toothpaste, and visiting the dentist regularly.”
