As little kids, when mom said "brush your teeth before you sleep", who knew it could be a lifesaver. Well, and we believe that you don't have to brush all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep!
Achieving a healthy, sparkling white smile takes a lifetime of care; brushing your teeth twice is the first and simplest step of all. Being a little mindful of your daily habits, and taking the right steps at the right time, you can prevent problems that you can't even think of. A study led by researchers from the University of Melbourne and a global network of experts was carried out for the development of a vaccine for a destructive and progressive gum disease called "chronic periodontitis" that affects every one in four people across the globe. The basic science is like the insidious bacteria Porohyromonas gingivalis (abbreviated as Pg), which is present in small amounts in the mouths of most people in a survival mode, interacts with other bacteria and becomes a major reason not just for poor oral health but also degrading immunity by invading the good stream and promoting diseases on other sites in the body. Apart from the major dental issues, chronic periodontitis is also associated with mouth and pancreatic cancers, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, complications in pregnancy, and gut inflammation.
You see how serious this could be! And this is just one instance. The significance of oral health is often overlooked and underappreciated, or is limited to having a decent smile. Even if you've been told you have nice teeth, it is crucial to develop good habits and do them right for preventing underlying gum disease from impacting your overall health and quality of life, moving forward. As science helps us understand how the world around us works, here's presenting a scientific perspective applied to your toothbrush!
Your toothbrush!
When it comes to dental health, your toothbrush is your first line of defence, you can't take any risks. Your toothbrush is your weapon, killing the enemies causing bad oral, physical, mental, and social health.
There are two basic and essential steps involved -
Use the right toothbrush, the one made with natural products like bamboo and charcoal is the best. That's you being responsible in two ways- minimising environmental damage and treating your teeth with a nature-infused, super soft treatment for your teeth. Sangsara’s compostable and long lasting Bamboo toothbrush that comes in two variants- fibre- bristles, and charcoal bristles are your first choice when it comes to investing in a great toothbrush.
Use it the right way! Over vigorous brushing can damage your brackets and also wear down the necessary teeth enamel. Now, that's not what you want. It's just the plaque that has to go. So, gently massaging your teeth in all directions, making sure you don't miss the plaque, that's how you do it. And the activated soft bristles in Sangsara Bamboo Toothbrush are super soft on your teeth and do the job just right!
There are other things that we might have hot thought about, but also contribute to good oral health.
Avoid sharing your toothbrush, as it transfers infections.
Replace your brush regularly as when they are frayed, you won't be brushing as effectively.
Get your brushing schedule as per your mouth health from trusted dental care. Brushing twice is a common tip for all, but depending on if you're having orthodontic treatment going on, or have developed a gum infection, it becomes even more important to brush at regular intervals.
Don't neglect your tongue; plaque can also build up there!
Remember flossing is as important as brushing.
So, keep calm and brush your teeth. Brush at night to keep your teeth, and brush in the morning, to keep your friends. Choose from the all natural, anti-microbial, BPA-free, cruelty-free, biodegradable and sustainable range of Bamboo toothbrushes with fibre and charcoal bristles from Sangsara.
