The dentist pointed out the danger of frequent brushing of teeth

Dentist Marina Kolisnichenko told whether it is worth brushing your teeth after each meal. In an interview with Radio 1 on Monday, April 27, the expert reminded that teeth should be brushed twice a day — in the morning and in the evening, and it is not recommended to do this after each meal.

She explained that food and sugary carbonated drinks contain acids that soften the enamel, which is why frequent brushing can accelerate its wear and tear.

According to the expert, it is better to simply rinse your mouth with water after eating.: It helps to reduce acidity, stimulates saliva production and promotes natural cleansing of the oral cavity.

Orthodontist Maria Balakireva on April 24, in an interview with Moscow 24, listed the most dangerous products for teeth. According to her, seeds, chips and soda contribute to the appearance of caries and tooth decay. Sticky sweets such as toffee and chewy candies are also particularly dangerous. It is important to remember that many fruits contain organic acids that soften the enamel and make teeth more vulnerable. According to the expert, it is better to exclude purchased juices and fruit drinks from the diet completely, since sugar and dyes create a thin plaque on the enamel, which makes the teeth darken.
