Nowadays, people's lives are fast-paced, and some small things will be forgotten if you don't pay attention to them. For example, many people think that brushing their teeth is a common thing, but in fact, in addition to maintaining the health of the mouth, developing the right brushing habits can also affect our sleep and overall health.
For friends who do not sleep well, flip and move at night, always have an unstable sleep, and wake up easily, brushing your teeth at night must not be delayed until before going to bed! Why is that? The reason is not only that when brushing your teeth, actions such as arms and mouthwash will make you slightly awake due to exercise, but also the cool mint in the toothpaste will also stimulate the body, and even make the brain nerves active, making it easier for people to fall asleep, so this is why it is recommended that everyone avoid brushing their teeth 1 hour before bedtime.
It is better to brush your teeth 30-60 minutes after eating. Not only will this help control your appetite and reduce the risk of craving a late-night snack, but it will also create some good evening rituals in your ordinary life, allowing your body and mind to completely relax and enjoy a peaceful time.
Developing good brushing habits is not only about oral health, but also about improving sleep quality, adjusting eating habits, and making life better.
If you want to enhance your oral health, you can refer to this timetable for daily brushing:
Wake up in the morning, clean your mouth with mouthwash before breakfast, brush your teeth 15-20 minutes after breakfast, and floss between your teeth.
It is also recommended to wait 15-20 minutes after lunch before starting brushing, and use water flosser or dental floss to clean between your teeth after brushing. If you can't easily brush your teeth outside, clean your mouth with mouthwash and dental floss as well.
If you have the habit of taking a lunch break or taking a nap at noon to close your eyes and refresh your mind, then you must clean your mouth after eating before going to bed. This is because the mouth closes after eating, and the food between the teeth and left on the teeth can erode the surface of the teeth, which is very bad for oral health. Therefore, maintaining a clean mouth is essential for oral health.
From now on, let's develop good brushing habits and contribute to your health and well-being!
