So many people have developed this habit, but some people drink water after brushing their teeth, and some people drink water directly without brushing their teeth after getting up.
So if you drink water directly without brushing your teeth, will you drink bacteria into your stomach? What effect will it have on the body?
After a night's sleep, a large number of bacteria will breed in the mouth. According to relevant research, under normal circumstances, there are 50 billion bacteria in the mouth, especially in the morning, so many people think it is right to drink water directly without brushing your teeth, and these bacteria will be drunk into your stomach.
Although these bacteria will be drunk into the stomach, they will not have much impact on the body, because the bacteria entering the body will be killed by high concentration of gastric acid, and the intestine also has a strong defense function, especially the flora in the intestine plays a very important role, which can avoid the invasion of other bacteria.
Although it will not affect the stomach, drinking water without brushing your teeth in the morning will cause many oral diseases. This is because not brushing your teeth in the morning is easy to breed dental plaque. Over time, dental calculus will form.
Dental calculus is a high-risk factor to induce various oral diseases, such as periodontitis, dental caries and gingivitis. So after getting up, you'd better brush your teeth and drink water.
How to protect oral health in daily life?
1, brush your teeth correctly
Get into the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening from an early age. Brush your teeth for not less than three minutes at a time, and make sure that every tooth is brushed.
At the same time, we should master the correct way of brushing teeth, and do not brush horizontally or vertically, so as not to cause gingival atrophy or dentin hypersensitivity.
Step 2 Use dental floss correctly
Flossing can help remove the residue between teeth and effectively prevent adjacent caries. When using dental floss, you should pay attention to let dental floss slowly pass through your teeth and gently rub it to better remove dental plaque. Rinse your mouth with warm water after using dental floss.
3. Keep gargling.
You should also develop the habit of gargling every day, especially after eating or eating sweets, so as not to produce acidic substances and damage your teeth.
If there is a wound or infection in the mouth, you can also use mouthwash containing medicine, but you must use it under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.
It should be noted that mouthwash only plays an auxiliary cleaning role and cannot replace brushing teeth.
Step 4 wash your teeth
Even if you brush your teeth every day, you can't completely remove the soft dirt and dental plaque attached to the tooth surface. The long-term existence of these substances will produce dental calculus, and tooth washing is the best way to remove dental calculus.
Ultrasound can remove dental plaque and calculus, improve gingival inflammation, and relieve exogenous coloring caused by drinking strong tea or smoking.
For your own health, it is best to brush your teeth before drinking water after getting up in the morning, and pay attention to protecting your teeth every day. In addition to the above points, it is best to go to a regular hospital for an oral examination every year.
Choosing a small soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste every day can make your teeth stronger. In addition, we should pay attention to eating less sweets, not eating sweets and cakes before going to bed, and the elderly should repair missing teeth in time.
