 It is known that to maintain healthy teeth must be constantly brushing and flossing. However, recently, scientists from the University of Gothenburg offered not only to brush your teeth, and rub into the gum toothpaste after a day's meal.

Scientists propose to rub toothpaste on the gums

According to them, it would allow much lower risk of caries. The head of the research, Anna Nordstrom says that rubbing toothpaste into the gum, fluoride provides protection to 400%.

Scientists have proven the effectiveness of a toothpaste with a high content of fluorine, an experiment with 16 volunteers. They tested several methods of cleaning the teeth, including rubbing toothpaste into the gum. The data showed that the effect of rubbing the paste with your finger is the same as during a full dental cleaning.

However, experts clarify that this technique is no substitute for brushing in the mornings and evenings. Anne Nordstrom also advised not to rinse your mouth with water after rubbing the paste, so as not to reduce the concentration of fluoride in the oral cavity. It should be noted that the surplus of fluoride is just as dangerous as the deficit - it can lead to cancer of the bone.
