The Japanese are very detail-oriented, and oral hygiene is no exception. They brush their teeth every day, not just twice in the morning and twice in the evening, but after every meal!

This is the so-called "after-meal brushing" habit, and it is simply admirable! If you think about yourself, sometimes you are lazy to brush your teeth in the morning and evening, not to mention after every meal.

In addition to brushing their teeth, Japanese people are also very particular about oral hygiene. They use a variety of tools such as flossing, toothbrushes and tongue brushes to make sure that their teeth and every corner of the mouth is immaculately clean.

Many people usually just brush their teeth mechanically, without mastering the correct brushing techniques and methods.
They may simply put the toothbrush in their mouth and brush back and forth a few times without paying attention to the time and angle of brushing. Such brushing style cannot effectively remove plaque and food debris, which can easily lead to gingivitis, tooth decay and other oral problems.

In addition, many people do not practice good oral hygiene in their daily lives. Neglecting to use floss to clean areas that cannot be cleaned by a toothbrush.

It is widely recognized in Japan that the health of the teeth and mouth is closely related to overall health.
They believe that only with healthy teeth and mouth can they enjoy food and maintain good digestion and absorption. Therefore, they are willing to spend time and effort to take care of their oral health.

Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare Affairs data show that in the 1970s and 1980s, the Japanese people's oral condition is not optimistic, the incidence of dental caries continues to rise, many people at a young age has been tooth loss.

As a result of neglecting the problems of oral hygiene and tooth loss, deaths from aspiration pneumonia and accidental injuries to the elderly caused by oral problems are frequent. In addition, oral hygiene and health also affect the elderly's ability to go out and make friends and other social activities, and some "toothless" elderly people are reluctant to go out and have a tendency to be depressed.

For this reason, since 1989, Japan has been promoting a nationwide dental care campaign called the "8020 Dental Care Campaign," which encourages people to take care of their teeth and strive to retain 20 of their own teeth by the time they reach the age of 80.

In addition, flossing your teeth can help prevent tooth decay and gingivitis.

In addition, regular visits to the dentist for oral checkups and cleanings will allow for early detection and treatment of oral problems and keep your mouth healthy.

Bacteria and food debris in the mouth can form plaque on the teeth, and if not removed in a timely manner, this plaque will gradually harden to form tartar.
The presence of tartar can lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease and other oral problems. Regular brushing can effectively remove plaque and tartar and minimize the occurrence of dental problems.

In addition, careful brushing can prevent tooth decay.
Cavities are caused by bacteria on the surface that produce acids that eat away at the teeth. Brushing removes bacteria from the surface of the teeth and reduces the incidence of tooth decay.

Bacteria and food debris in the mouth can produce a foul odor and bring uncomfortable feeling. Brushing can effectively remove bacteria and food residues in the mouth and keep your breath fresh. In addition, brushing can also stimulate the secretion of saliva, which has enzymes that can break down food debris and reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth, further keeping your breath fresh.
