In pursuit of oral health, various oral care products are available, including anti-bacterial mouthwashing. In recent years, there has been anecdotal evidence that anti-bacterial mouthwashing can be used as an alternative to brushing teeth, as well as for comprehensive oral cleaning and anti-bacterism. However, this is actually a mistake.
Brushing teeth is the cornerstone of mouth cleaning. The mechanical friction of toothbrushes with teeth allows for the effective removal of food residues, toothbrush spots and molluscs from the surface of teeth. Teetherella is a major contributing factor to the disease of teeth and carcasses, and it binds itself to the teeth, especially in the areas of cavity and edges of teeth. When brushing their teeth, brushes can go deep into these cracks, cleaning out the toothbrush and food residues, thus preventing the formation of toothstones, the occurrence of tooth inflammation and the development of teeth. Anti-bacterial mouthwashing, while to some extent inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the mouth, is far less purified than the brushing of teeth for toothbrushes already attached to the teeth surface.
In terms of the extent of cleanness, tooth brushes provide a comprehensive clean-up of all aspects of the teeth, including lips, tongues, gnaws and the border between the teeth and the teeth. Tools such as toothbrushes, toothbrushes and so forth can also assist in cleaning the mouths, an area that is prone to dirt, and ensure that mouths are clean. In contrast, mouthwashing has a relatively short length of time within the mouth, mainly on the surface of the oral mucous membrane and partly free of bacteria, and makes it difficult to get into the hidden parts of the teeth and gutters for thorough cleaning.
Bacteria in the mouth are complex and diverse, not all of which are harmful. The brushing of teeth maintains the ecological balance of bacteria in the mouth while removing the fungus. The long-term over-reliance on anti-bacterial saliva can undermine this balance. Some anti-bacterial mouthwashing, while destroying harmful bacteria, may also affect the survival of normal strains within the oral cavity, causing herbology disorders and, in turn, causing other oral problems, such as drying of oral mucous membranes, odour abnormalities, etc.
In addition, many people believe that the use of anti-bacterial mouthwash can solve the problem of stench once and for all, thus neglecting to brush their teeth. In fact, however, the odour is often associated with a number of factors, such as poor oral hygiene, heavy tongues and dental conditions. The brushing of teeth not only cleans the teeth, but also cleans the moss and reduces the likelihood that bacteria on the moss will decompose food residues. The problem of the stench cannot be solved at the root of the problem by saliva alone.
Anti-bacterial mouthwashing does have a supporting effect in oral care, for example, when it is not easy to brush teeth, such as when travelling outside the home and after-operative mouth cleaning, the use of mouthwashing can temporarily inhibit oral bacteria from growing and fresh breath. But this is no substitute for the basic means of mouth cleaning.
Correct dental care is essential. The basis for brushing teeth twice a day, morning and evening, lasting more than two minutes each time, is to ensure that each side of the tooth is effectively cleaned. Toothlines or toothbrushes can go deep into the teeth and remove residual stains. In the case of a person with a different cavity, a reasonable choice can be made after brushing his or her teeth or after eating, for a mild, anti-alcoholic, non-alcoholic, mouthwashing aided cleaning. However, it needs to be made clear that mouthwashing is never a substitute for brushing teeth. Comprehensive and correct oral care practices are effective in preventing all kinds of diseases, such as tooth decay and diarrhea, leaving us free from oral distress, keeping our breath fresh, their teeth strong and healthy, and enjoying a good life of food and self-confidence.
