Black tea also has special effects on protecting and strengthening teeth. Frequent gargling with black tea can prevent bacteria from forming dental plaque or mixing with sugar and food particles to produce acidic substances, which will corrode the enamel of teeth. Japanese scientists have confirmed that drinking more green tea can help prevent tooth decay. A recent study shows that black tea can also protect teeth.

# # # The correct way to brush your teeth
When brushing the maxillary posterior teeth, put the toothbrush on the maxillary posterior teeth so that the bristles form a 45-degree angle with the teeth, then rotate the brush head and brush from top to bottom, and brush each part for about 10 times. The internal and external brushing methods are the same. When brushing the mandibular posterior teeth, put the toothbrush on the mandibular posterior teeth, and the bristles are still at a 45-degree angle with the teeth. Rotate the brush head to brush from bottom to top, and repeat each part for about 10 times. Brush method is consistent inside and outside. The labial brushing method of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth is the same as that of posterior teeth. When brushing the palatal surface of the upper teeth and the lingual surface of the lower teeth, the drama head can be firmly established, with the upper teeth brushing from top to bottom and the lower teeth brushing from bottom to top. When brushing the occlusal surface of the upper and lower teeth, put the toothbrush on the occlusal surface of the teeth and brush it back and forth horizontally with a little force.
When brushing your teeth, get up early every day, brush your teeth before going to bed at night, and insist on gargling after meals. It takes 3 ~ 5 minutes to brush all parts of the teeth at a time. Brushing your teeth before going to bed at night is more important, because it can remove the food residue and dirt accumulated on your teeth in three meals that day. Otherwise, when sleeping at night, bacteria will breed in the mouth, and calcium salts of dirt and saliva will deposit to form dental plaque and tartar, leading to dental caries and periodontal disease.
And now don't forget to brush your tongue and the inner wall of your mouth!
I wish you smile often and stay young forever!
