DAY 6/30 — DENTAL FLOSSING: IS IT REALLY NECESSARY?

“I brush my teeth every day, so why do I need to floss?” 🤔

The truth is that your toothbrush does a great job at cleaning the surfaces of your teeth, but it cannot properly reach the tight spaces between them. That’s where flossing comes in.

Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between the teeth and along the gum-line especially areas your toothbrush may miss.

Last night when I was chewing my meat 🍖 after eating, a small piece stuck in between my teeth and made me so uncomfortable😔🤭. I jumped up and took my dental floss and removed the meat while I flossed my entire teeth😊.

Also, if plaque is left there, it can contribute to tooth decay and gum problems.

So, brushing and cleaning between your teeth work together.

Therefore, while Brushing cleans the surfaces. Flossing cleans between the teeth.

And please, don’t wait until you have food stuck between your teeth before reaching for the floss! 😂

A healthy smile needs more than just brushing.

Do you floss every day, sometimes, or only when something gets stuck? 😂👇🏽. Honest opinion, please 🙏

DAY 4/30 — SUGAR & YOUR TEETH 🦷

You will agree with me that too much sugar is not healthy for our teeth. But here’s something many people fail to understand:

It’s not only about how much sugar you consume but also, how often your teeth are exposed to it.
Bacteria in your mouth feed on the sugars and produce acids. These acids attack your tooth enamel and this is one of the major factors of tooth decay.

Therefore, constant habit of sipping sugary drinks or snacking on sweet foods throughout the day exposes your teeth to repeated attacks by acids😬.

Here is a simple hack:
Instead of having sugary foods and drinks frequently throughout the day, try to keep them to mealtimes where possible and drink adequate water between meals.
Also, remember that “Little and often” isn’t always little when it comes to sugar and your teeth! 😂🍬

Always protect your smile by being conscious of what you consume on a daily basis. Your teeth deserve a break from the sugar attacks!

🦷 DAY 3/30 — WHY DO TEETH GET CAVITIES?

Have you ever wondered how a strong tooth develops a hole? 🤔

The simple answer is:
Bacteria 🦠 + Sugar 🍭+ Time ⏰ = Tooth Decay

How does this happen?Naturally, our mouth contain bacteria. So, when we eat or drink sugary foods and drinks, these bacteria use the sugars and produce acids.

That acid attacks the enamel which is the hard outer layer of our teeth. When this happens over a period of time, minerals are lost from the enamel. If the process continues without being stopped, the enamel can eventually break down and a cavity (hole) develops.

The more frequently your teeth are exposed to sugar and acid combined with poor oral hygiene, the greater the opportunity for tooth decay to occur.

So how can we reduce the risk of Cavity/ Tooth decay?
✅ Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
✅ Clean between your teeth.
✅ Reduce frequent sugary snacks and drinks.
✅ Drink water adequately and regularly.
✅ Keep up with your dental check-ups.

Always bear in mind that cavity is not simply caused by “eating sweets.” It is a process involving bacteria, sugars, acids, time and other factors.

Quick question for you

DAY 2/30 — HOW TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH PROPERLY

We brush our teeth every day, but are we actually doing it the right way?🤔🦷

Here are a few simple tips:

📌Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
📌Use a soft or medium bristled toothbrush. Brush gently in circular movements.
📌Brush the outer, inner and chewing surfaces of all your teeth.
📌Don’t forget your tongue but do that with a tongue scraper/cleaner.
📌Spend about 2 minutes brushing.
📌Replace your toothbrush when the bristles become worn out.

These are common tooth-brushing mistakes to avoid:
❌ Brushing too hard- harder doesn’t mean cleaner!
❌ Rushing through your brushing.
❌ Missing the back teeth and the tooth surface.
❌ Using a worn-out or frail toothbrush.
❌ Rinsing immediately with lots of water after brushing. Spit out the excess toothpaste instead to allow the fluoride to keep working.

🦷 Remember: Good brushing is not about applying force. It is about using the right technique consistently.

Tell me in the comment section: Do you think you brush for the full 2 minutes or do you brush more or less? 😂

Why are our teeth important?

Apart from the teeth helping us to eat, healthy teeth contribute to:
✅ Proper chewing and digestion
✅ Clear speech
✅ Facial support
✅ A healthy and confident smile
✅ Maintaining the proper position of other teeth

Hence, when a tooth is lost, it isn’t just the gap that matters. It can affect chewing, facial appearance, speech and the position of the adjacent teeth.

How do we care for our teeth?

Taking care of our teeth does have to be a huge task. You should always;
• Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• Clean between your teeth regularly with floss or interdental cleaner.
• Limit frequent sugary snacks and drinks.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Don’t use your teeth as tools to open packages or bottles! 😅
• Have regular dental check-ups.
• Don’t ignore persistent toothache, sensitivity, bleeding or swelling.

🦷 DAY 1 — WHY DO WE HAVE TEETH?

Have you ever wondered why we have different types of teeth in our mouth? 🤔🦷

Every tooth in the mouth has a reason and the different parts of a tooth work together to keep it strong and functional.

What is a tooth🦷 ?
A tooth is a hardest structure of the human body and it is found in the mouth. The tooth helps us to bite, tear and chew food. Our teeth also play an important function in speaking and supporting the shape of our face.

The parts of the tooth are;
1️⃣ Enamel
This is the outer covering of the tooth and it’s the hardest substance in the human body. It protects the tooth from everyday chewing forces, acids and wear.
2️⃣ Dentin
Underneath the enamel is dentin. It makes up much of the tooth and is softer than enamel. When dentin becomes exposed, you may experience tooth sensitivity.
3️⃣ Pulp
Deep inside the tooth is the pulp. This contains nerves and blood vessels which help keep the tooth alive and allow it to sense things such as pain and temperature.
4️⃣ Cementum
The root of the tooth is covered by cementum which helps attach the tooth to the surrounding supporting tissues.

Additionally, we have the tissues around the tooth which includes the gum, periodontal ligament and bone. They help to keep the tooth securely in place.

🦷 Did you know we have different types of teeth?

🦷 Incisors — the front teeth.
They help us cut and bite food.

🦷 Canines — the pointed teeth beside the incisors.
They help us tear and hold food.

🦷 Premolars — located behind the canines.
They help with crushing and chewing.

🦷 Molars — the larger teeth at the back.
They help us to grind and chew food.

Kindly study the attached picture to see the tooth structure and the types of teeth.
