We can maintain the health of our teeth and gums through good dietary supplements, but it seems that this is not enough.
Quality natural vitamin D3 and sufficient phosphorus will give you strong enamel teeth.

Calcium in assimilable form (orotate or pidolate) and coenzyme Q10 will strengthen your gums and contribute to a good implantation of the dental roots in the jawbones. We often forget that brushing our teeth is a fundamental factor in keeping our teeth strong. While everyone agrees that regular brushing helps prevent cavities, what most people don't know is that the way they brush is fundamental. This is what the experts in the field say.

Some warning signs about the health of your teeth.

White spots on the teeth sometimes occur naturally, but can also be a possible sign of dental fluorosis. It is therefore imperative to avoid fluorine-based products. Plaque bacteria can lead to decalcification or discoloration, and in more advanced cases to gum infections. This is where the quality of brushing comes in.

We were brought up to believe that we should brush our teeth as often as possible, at least in the morning and in the evening, ideally after each intake of food. However, there are times when brushing is more convenient. Indeed, some foods contain acidic substances. These acids can attack the enamel and then the dentin (the layer underneath the enamel) of the teeth if you brush your teeth too quickly (20 minutes) after eating.

One study found that brushing teeth within 20 minutes of eating or drinking significantly damages the teeth, while there is no negative effect if you brush your teeth at least 30 minutes after eating. But be careful, if brushing means "good hygiene", it also means "wear". If not properly controlled, it can cause spectacular damage to the gums and long-term damage to the teeth.

Many dentists and dental surgeons are sounding the alarm about the risks associated with excessive or improper use of toothbrushes and toothpastes. Incorrect use of the toothbrush could cause a sometimes spectacular wear of the hard tissues of the tooth at the level of the zone close to the gum (collars). In some people, there is even a real progressive retraction of the gums, giving an appearance of "premature loosening". This is very often accompanied by a thermal sensitivity, sometimes very acute, to heat and cold.

According to Dr. Gros, there are several factors to consider and control in order to keep your teeth and gums healthy. First of all, the duration or time of brushing. 45 seconds is more than enough time to clean and smooth the dental surfaces. Beyond one minute, there is danger.
The frequency, 2 daily brushings would be enough of which the principal one is that of the morning. You can add a possible mouthwash during the day, but beware of the wrong product!

The shape and pressure of brushing, be moderate in your pressure and practice an "ellipsoidal" or "roll" brushing, that is to say from the bottom to the top for the lower teeth and vice versa for the upper teeth. Horizontal brushing is to be avoided completely! Bleeding gums can be a sign of real gum irritation after brushing too hard. Too much pressure accelerates the wear of dental tissue. This wear and tear is not always visible in the short term, but it will play tricks on you as time goes by. Beware of toothbrush bristles that are completely crushed by more than a third of their height!

The rate of brushing, i.e. the frequency of the return trips per second of the brush on the teeth, should not be higher than 3. Otherwise, it causes the same risks as mentioned above. The quick brushing in the morning in the rush and stress of leaving for work or school is obviously the most "harmful" for dental and gum health.

The potential risks can be limited by choosing the right brush or toothpaste. In all cases, you should use soft or medium brushes, depending on the condition of your gums. In any case, at the moment, hard brushes seem to have deserted the shelves of our stores, and that's good because they are also a danger.

The role of toothpaste is to be abrasive, but within certain limits. Toothpaste would be more abrasive than tooth gel. In any case, choose products without fluoride or aluminum and prefer plant-based products or clay powder. As for the benefits of electric toothbrushes, they leave our specialists skeptical. Regardless of dental hygiene habits, they must be learned in childhood. Up to now we have known about the awareness and the fight against caries, it is time to inform about tooth wear.
