I've taken so many good info from this site&forum so i want to give something back!
I am student at medicine- stomatology- so here goes a few advice.
No particular order, just what comes into mind right know:
Don't drink too hot or too ice - it is bad for your teeth.
If you are too lazy to wash your teeth after each meal do it at least before you go to sleep- that is the most important time to do it!
Use dental floos- it works.When flossing, don't be scared by the sight of bleeding-it is normal.
Brush your teeth using up and down motions- not the go in go out tipe of motion- this is the most comon mistake people do.
Be gentle and use soft brushes!
Brush your tongue too- it caries germs.(if you didn't now male healthy sexual organs are cleaner that healthy mouth) . Do not use your tooth brush for your tongue because it was not design for this- use a spoon insted(or any othe special device that you find in a drugstore) be gentle!
If you have small children wash their mouth too and "brush"their gums&teeth and tongue with a soft wet cloth- be gentle!
Bleaching yout teeth with any products that have or don't any dental association aproval is higly NOT recomended- there is still no product that truly doesn't harm the tooth dentine!
Moth wash : do not use products that containd alchool and search the ones that contains chlorine dioxide. Gargle- it's a must!
Did i mention quit smoking- but hey this is a martial art forum so most of you doesn't smoke! are you?
MOST IMPORTANT
Go to see a dentist once or twice a year. It is better to prevent than to cure and a lot more painless!
This is just the abc but hope it helps if you got any questions feel free to ask!
