What is good oral hygiene ? UFSBD advice

The UFSBD (French Union for Oral Health) is an institution that offers valuable recommendations for having a healthy mouth and preventing periodontal disease. Among these tips, emphasis is placed on the importance of regular and thorough brushing for two minutes, using rotating movements, twice a day. It is essential to use a suitable brush and to replace it regularly to guarantee optimal cleaning. The Smilist polishing brush is a true innovation in the oral world. The density of its ultra-fine and tight nano soft bristles allows it to delicately massage the gums while stimulating the shine of the enamel and eliminating dental plaque. The sensation is radically different than with a classic toothbrush, its softness gives the impression of brushing your teeth with a little cloud. Contrary to popular belief, it is important to be careful not to brush your teeth too aggressively, this does not clean better, it is even counterproductive because it attacks the gums and can be the cause of oral problems! In addition, it is advisable to use dental floss or a brush to remove food debris, acids and bacteria that can lodge in interdental spaces inaccessible to a toothbrush.

How to take care of teeth in babies ?

Taking care of baby teeth as soon as they appear is essential to promote good oral hygiene in the long term. It is recommended to clean the gums of newborns with a damp compress once a day, from an early age, before the appearance of the first teeth. Once the first teeth are visible, it's time to switch to a toothbrush specially designed for children. Children's toothbrushes usually have extra-soft bristles and a small head size, suitable for toddlers' mouths. The use of a fluoride-free toothpaste appropriate for the child's age is recommended until he is able to spit the toothpaste out.
