Dentist dispels major myths about dental health
You should visit the dentist periodically, even if you have no complaints about the condition of your teeth.
It is advisable to do this at least once every six months. However, it is important to remember that if your teeth do not hurt, this does not mean that they are healthy.
Dentist Larisa Kiselnikova spoke about this.
As the doctor noted, another myth is that some people think that all dental problems are due to genetics. This is not true.
Diseases usually have multiple causes. The most common disease is caries. It is important to consider that this is an infectious, diet-dependent and microbial biofilm-related disease.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain hygiene and use dental floss.
During a conversation with the media, the dentist noted that if you want to achieve “Hollywood” whiteness, you should not use charcoal, soda, hydrogen peroxide or citric acid.
It is advisable to use special toothpastes or seek professional help.
Milk teeth also need to be carefully cleaned. Care should begin with the appearance of the very first tooth. Do not believe that the first teeth do not need to be cleaned, as this is another common myth that causes harm.
“Oral hygiene in children at an early age is extremely important and affects the condition of permanent teeth in the future,” Lenta.ru quotes the doctor as saying.
