Why should I clean between my teeth?

What's going on between your teeth that can seriously affect not only your oral health, but your overall health?

 

 I brush my teeth 2 times a day. Is enough;

When you brush your teeth you cover the outer, inner and chewing surface of the tooth. But what about the spaces between the teeth? That's right, the teeth have total 5 surfaces, three of which are visible and easily accessible with a toothbrush and two of which are not.

After eating and drinking, residue and sugars can get stuck in your mouth. They have even more chances areas between the teeth where debris gets "trapped" and cleaning with a toothbrush is difficult. Just because you can't see the interdental spaces doesn't mean they don't need cleaning. In fact, they deserve the same care and attention as the rest of the teeth.

In fact, any food residue that gets stuck between your teeth can cause plaque to build up. Plaque is created when the bacteria and the waste they produce, food scraps, etco saliva, combine to create a biofilm. This pale yellow and sticky sediment "sits" on the surface of the tooth, specifically between the teeth. If the plaque is not removed, it will harden and become stone - which can only be removed by a dentist. This external sediment makes it easier for new bacteria and food to stick to the surface of the tooth, creating the conditions for further plaque build-up.

By not brushing between your teeth, you are putting your oral health at risk.

Η bad breath, also known as bad breath, is one of the effects of plaque. In fact, poor oral hygiene is one of the main causes of bad breath. In fact, if you don't get rid of food debris and bacteria, especially in the areas between your teeth, the food will begin to decompose, causing a foul smell. In addition, plaque can affect the appearance of the tooth, as the teeth begin to “they turn yellow", while plaque acids can erode the enamel, causing the appearance stains and wear on the tooth surface. Interdental cleaning on a daily basis can significantly help prevent such situations.   
 

You might not think about it, but those little hidden spots between your teeth can cause significant damage to your mouth. In fact, if you don't actively remove food debris and bacteria from these areas, they stay and form plaque. This plaque can be harmful to your teeth, causing wear and sensitivity, but it also causes serious effects on the health of your gums. Plaque bacteria release toxins that can cause gum disease.

As plaque builds up around the gum line, these toxins can easily come into contact with and penetrate the gum tissue, creating inflammation. This is known as gingivitis, early stage of gum disease [11] and affects up to 90% of adults worldwide, according to its definition. Symptoms include sensitivity, swelling and/or bleeding when cleaning between your teeth.

By neglecting to clean between the teeth, you are creating the infrastructure for such situations. Before you know it, food and bacteria debris between your teeth turns into plaque, causing wear and tear on your gums and teeth. The good news is that you can manage and reverse gingivitis with good oral care, which includes daily cleaning between the teeth. 

If you don't do something, gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, which has been linked to general health problems of the body. This severe form of gum disease causes loss of bone and tissue around the tooth. Chronic inflammation will cause the gums to recede from the teeth, creating pockets that can become infected. As the infection spreads below the gum line, the body's immune system is activated. Combined with the bacteria's toxins, this immune reaction can cause the bone & tissue supporting the tooth to fall out. When this happens, intervention by a dental professional is required to stop the progression and prevent it tooth loss.

As the gums are exposed, they lose their ability to form a barrier against harmful bacteria, which more easily find their way into the bloodstream and travel to other parts of the body. In doing so, they can create inflammation and put you at risk for health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. By taking care of your oral health, you also help protect your overall health.

The key is to adopt small & easy habits that can be easily incorporated into your daily life. This means choosing the method that works best for you. For example, if you find threading somewhat demanding, you can try a differential tool such as interdental brush or a rubber toothpick. Unless you have very narrow interdental spaces, both tools have been shown to be more effective than flossing at removing plaque between teeth.
