Brushing your teeth is not enough to avoid bad breath. You must have forgotten to clean a certain part of your mouth, away from your tongue.
We all know that we probably should do more to maintain good oral hygiene, with mouthwash used after brushing your teeth.
But did you know that there is a little-known tip that is to clean the inside of your cheeks?
It may seem very strange, but the chief dentist at the Ollie & Darsh Clinic in Liverpool, Britain, confirmed that one of the most common teeth cleaning mistakes is neglecting to clean the inner part of the cheeks, in addition to neglecting the tongue, which must also be cleaned, according to Metro newspaper. .
Skipping these parts of the mouth when brushing can cause bacteria to build up, leading to bad breath and potential oral health problems.
“Brushing your teeth is an important part of maintaining good oral hygiene, and it’s important to include the tongue and inner cheeks in your oral care routine,” he says.
The tongue and inner cheeks can contain a large number of bacteria, food particles, and dead cells. Neglecting these areas may allow bacteria to grow, contributing to bad breath, plaque formation, and other oral health problems.
He stressed that cleaning or scraping the tongue helps remove the bacteria responsible for bad odors, warning that plaque, a sticky layer of bacteria, can accumulate on the surfaces of the teeth, tongue, and inner cheeks.
Regular brushing helps remove this plaque and prevents it from hardening and turning into tartar, which leads to gum disease and tooth decay.
He advised: “Comprehensive oral care includes cleaning all surfaces of the mouth, and this includes the teeth, gums, tongue, and inner cheeks. Neglecting any of these parts can harm the effectiveness of your oral hygiene routine.”
When it comes to cleaning the inner cheeks and other soft tissues in the mouth, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
A soft-bristled toothbrush is gentle on the gums and soft tissues inside the mouth, reducing the risk of irritation and any other potential damage.
