BRUSHING TEETH
BEFORE BED

The habit of brushing teeth before bed

in Indonesia is still lacking, people
usually just brush he teeth when he
was bathing in the morning and
afternoon.
According to the American Dental
Association, brushing two times a day
with toothpaste, specially after
breakfast and before bed, helps to
reduce plaque formation.

Activity at night will usually be

increased 2 times compared to the
day, because since we slept in where
our mouths are not doing activities
like eating, drinking, or talking.
Why should we brush our teeth at
night before bed? We've all heard it
from our parents and dentists "Brush
your teeth before bed! Right??

1. What you eat, drink, and put in

your mouth can affect your teeth,
like coffee, tea, chocolate, rice ect
and causing food stuck between
teeth.
When food stusk on the teeth while
we sleep, especially if it is sugary or
acidic, that invites bacteria it will
start to break down the enamel
around our teeth and cause caries.

2. Morning breath is bad. Not just the

stuck food but caused by your diet,
instead of bad breath caused by
infections and rotting foods in your
mouth.

3. Due to continued tooth so easily

damaged, inflamed gums faster.

To prevent this, we can brushing with

toothpaste contains mild abrasives,
surfactants, and acid neutralizers that clean
the teeth gently. In addition, some
toothpastes have fluoride that strengthens
the teeth if used in moderation. Excessive
fluoride during tooth development can cause
tooth discoloration and mottled teeth. This
condition is called dental fluorosis. Use only a
small amount of toothpaste (about the size of
a pea), and avoid swallowing toothpaste and
other dental hygiene products. After
brushing, spit out the toothpaste and rinse
your mouth with water.

Most dentists recommend brushing

the tooth surfaces in a circular
motion using a soft toothbrush with
round-ended bristles that will not
scratch the teeth or irritate the
gums.
The result will be better, using
disclosing solution before teeth
because the layer are attached to
the tooth surface can be seen
clearly.

But when we are brushing your

teeth before bed then all the dirt
will disappear so the pH will rise
again, then there was the process
of remineralization, balanced and
normal. Brush your teeth the
night is essential to inhibit the
breeding of germs, thus oral and
dental health can be maintained.

How to a good brushing :

Use a soft bristle brush, not that
hard.
2. Dont brush your teeth too short
too, because the shape of teeth
are very complex requires us for
more detail so that all the teeth
can brused.

We can brusing teeth min. 2

minutes.
4. Use toothpaste that contains
flour, because it is very useful to
strong then teeth.
3.

Although many people already

know the benefits of toothbrush
night, but very few are willing to
get used to it. And this shall be
accomplished because when the
rest will happen but there
remineralization process to the
contrary, namely ongoing
demineralization process that can
ultimately result in making the
teeth so hollow.
