We all know the benefits of paying attention to dental hygiene. The rules of brushing at least twice a day and continuing the process for no less than two minutes are well-known rules, but dental experts have highlighted a new rule that must be paid attention to, which is to wet the brush before applying toothpaste to it because of its benefits. In getting rid of yellowing.
Wetting the toothbrush before applying toothpaste to it is necessary for several reasons, including:
1- Wetting the bristles helps distribute the toothpaste more effectively, ensuring better coverage of the tooth surfaces, and more comprehensive removal of dental plaque, which is a sticky, colorless layer that forms on the teeth and is most noticeable when Teeth are not cleaned on a daily basis.
2- Wetting the toothbrush softens the bristles, making the brushing experience gentler on the gums and enamel and reducing the risk of irritation or damage.
3- Moisture helps activate the components of the toothpaste, making it more effective in fighting bacteria and maintaining oral hygiene.
4- Wetting the brush before brushing teeth “prevents aggressive brushing,” which can lead to enamel erosion and gum recession.
5- The moisture on the bristles can also help form foam when combined with toothpaste, which helps remove debris, dental plaque, and food particles.
