What is the cause of cavity?
The problem of cavity in teeth i.e. tooth decay usually occurs due to tooth decay. If you do not rinse or brush after eating, then mainly carbohydrates get stuck between the teeth and within a short time they develop decay. After which cavity starts in the teeth, gums get swollen, bad smell comes from the mouth due to decay and there is problem of severe pain in the tooth.
Founder of Jabis Dental Solutions, Noida and former Senior Consultant, Fortis Hospital, Dr. Libby Singh She says, ‘It has been observed that usually people keep drinking water or gargle after eating something during the day, due to this the water reaches the carbs stuck between the teeth and the chances of decay are less but at night. After eating food, sweets or anything else, they go to sleep without brushing their teeth. If that food or carbs remain then germs grow and cavity problems occur.
When is it more important to brush, morning or night?
Dr. Libby Singh says that people usually brush their teeth after waking up in the morning, but very few people have the habit of brushing their teeth before sleeping after dinner at night. Whereas brushing at night is even more important, because about 8 to 10 hours after sleeping is a very long time and if any food fiber remains between the teeth, it will cause tooth decay. This is where dental diseases start. Therefore, it is very important to brush before sleeping at night.
Brushing teeth should always be done in circular motion.
Some people say that if you have brushed your teeth at night, then what is the need to do it in the morning, when you have not eaten anything? In such a situation, it is worth knowing that saliva contains maximum number of micro organisms, which can cause mouth injuries. Let’s fill it quickly. In such a situation, the activity of micro organisms continues throughout the night and the pH level of the mouth decreases. Due to which there may be problem in digestion. Brushing should also be done in the morning.
