Att regelbundet borsta sina tänder är det mest verkningsfulla sättet att förebygga karies, tandlossning och dålig andedräkt. Men även om du sköter din munhälsa kan tandskador uppstå. Skälet är många gånger en felaktig tandborstteknik.
Brushing your teeth regularly is the most effective way of preventing caries, loosening of teeth and bad breath. But even if you are careful about oral hygiene, dental damage may still occur. The reason for this is often incorrect brushing technique.
Around 40 per cent of Swedes have some degree of the dental disease periodontitis, which can lead to loosening of the teeth.
Fifty years ago, it was normal to have gaps in the teeth here and there as people got older. Now it is much more common for people to keep their own teeth for life. But scrupulous oral hygiene is essential.
