Should I wet my toothbrush before brushing?

2021-09-15

When most people brush their teeth, they habitually wet the toothbrush before squeezing the toothpaste. However, some studies suggest that toothbrushes can be brushed cleaner without water. So, do you need to dip in water before brushing your teeth?
Some people think that dipping in water before brushing can easily make the toothpaste bubble, and it seems that the teeth can be brushed more cleanly. Carefully brush the gap between each tooth.
The correct way is that the toothbrush does not need to be dipped in water. You only need to squeeze the toothpaste and slowly brush your teeth in the mouth, so that the gradually secreted saliva soaks the toothpaste and foams, so that the maximum effect of cleaning the teeth can be achieved.
However, some people believe that not soaking the toothbrush with water before brushing will make the toothbrush in a dry and hard state, so that direct brushing will damage the health of the gums. Regarding these two statements, Jin Ming, deputy chief physician of the Department of Stomatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, pointed out that it is more appropriate to infiltrate the toothbrush before brushing.
People also pay attention to the hardness of toothbrushes. For example, patients with periodontal disease need to choose soft-bristled toothbrushes, which is conducive to cleaning the periodontal belt. People without periodontal disease can choose a toothbrush with medium-firm bristles and a small head. It is not recommended to use the toothbrush for too long, otherwise the bristles will easily accumulate bacteria and be detrimental to oral health.
In fact, if you want to keep your teeth clean, learning the correct way to brush your teeth is the key. The best way to brush your teeth is to slant the brush head at 45 degrees to the gums and massage in a circular motion. This method can comprehensively clean the teeth and gums from multiple angles. In addition, it is recommended to use dental floss to clean the dirt that is difficult to brush out between the teeth after brushing.
In addition, the storage of toothbrushes is also very particular. Many people like to put the toothbrush head down in the cup after brushing their teeth.
