What are the Common Misconceptions About Oral Health?
It is a fact that daily oral care is extremely important for dental health... However, some mistakes made in dental cleaning can cause irreversible damage to the natural structure of the teeth.
Especially errors made during brushing can lead to abrasion of the enamel layer. Therefore, harsh and forceful brushing practices, instead of whitening the teeth, yellow the teeth by exposing the underlying layer and also lead to gum recession. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and brushing twice a day prevents abrasion problems.
Brushing teeth with baking soda sprinkled on the brush to benefit from its whitening effect greatly damages tooth enamel. Such practices that leave micro-scratches on the tooth surface should be avoided. Baking soda, which is a natural method for oral health, should be used in the form of a mouthwash.
Sugar-free gums chewed after meals have no effect against plaque and tartar on teeth; they increase saliva secretion, aid in oral cleaning, and freshen breath.
Dental scaling and teeth whitening procedures performed by dentists do not damage the natural structure of the teeth. The methods used here are extremely reliable.
