Can The Toothbrush Damage Your Dental Health
Did you know that much of the treatment that dentists provide can be directly or indirectly related to your tooth brushing Few dental awareness programmes ever give this information or explain the dangers of the toothbrush.
First off, let me say that the idea of using a toothbrush as part of a hygiene programme to keep the mouth clean and healthy is undoubtedly a good idea. Without reservation, I support and advocate the concept. There has been, however, a tendency to promote the toothbrush to the position of Supreme Dental Product. The notion of the toothbrush as a dental cure-all has been allowed to take root unchallenged in the minds of people. This has led to all manner of problems not least of which is the sense of let down and disappointment that committed and enthusiastic brushers feel when they are told that they need fillings.
The Toothbrush Does Not Prevent Decay, – Hello!
How can I have cavities when I brush my teeth not once but at least three or four times daily is a question that I am often asked. When I tell people that brushing has little effect, if any, on tooth decay, the reaction is often shock and disbelief. They have genuinely believed that tooth brushing would keep them safe from all cavities and are devastated to be told of, perhaps, the presence of a very large cavity that may require root canal treatment or extraction.
