It's no secret that usually most people reduce oral care to brush their teeth. One does not think about the fact that the oral cavity is filled with teeth only by 25%. Quickly go back and forth on them with a brush in the morning, rushing to work, and in the evening, in a hurry to move away after a tiring day to a saving sleep. Meanwhile, the mouth is not just teeth. It also includes gums, the mucous surface of the inside of the cheeks, the back of the tongue, on which, like the teeth, microbes multiply, which can lead to various diseases of the body. Often we look for the cause of the disease, not suspecting that its origins lurk in insufficient oral care.
