    A clean mouth for up to 12-24 hours. This is often in advertisements for toothpaste and mouthwashes, but the claims in advertisements are often directly untrue. That is why many consumers around with unrealistic ideas of what the type of products can accomplish. It said lead dentist Bo Danielsen, focusing on the problem in Dental Society Semester Course the 2010th

    A toothbrushing can not be replaced by a fancy product that promises gold and green forests. One can not take a shortcut to a healthy oral hygiene. One has to make its own efforts by remembering to brush her teeth thoroughly. In addition, fluoride in toothpaste is most important to avoid getting cavities, says the senior dentist, MBA, MIL Bo Danielsen from SKT, School of Dentistry in Aarhus. Bo Danielsen is among speakers at the Dental Society Semester Course, which takes place 15th-17th april 2010 in Bella Center in Copenhagen.

    Toothpastes and mouth rinses can help to make brushing a little more comfortable and give a sense of purity and freshness in the mouth. But if it really was such that these products on their own to keep the mouth clean for up to 12-24 hours, we would dentists probably be informed of it, says Bo Danielsen.

    My advice to consumers: "Drop the expensive products, brush your teeth thoroughly with toothpaste containing fluoride," emphasizes Bo Danielsen.

    He gets along with dental, Ph.D. Alan Richards focus on what advice dentists and dental carers can give their patients about the use of toothpaste and mouthwashes on dental association Semester Course the 2010th Semester Course is the largest training event in dentistry and gathers this year over 3000 dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and others interested in dental health.

    Question:

    Hi, I would like to know if that makes any difference if you put water on the toothbrush / toothpaste BEFORE you brush your teeth? I realize that it is best not to rinse your mouth after brushing, but it does not matter with water on the brush before?
    Thanks and with best regards

    Hanne

    Answer:

    Dear Hanne,

    It is completely irrelevant if you put water on the toothbrush is not brushing your teeth, it is essential that you have mentioned, not to rinse your mouth with water after brushing.

    Hope you can use my answer.

    Sincerely

    Dentist Joan Olsen
