Brushing teeth at least twice a day can make our teeth healthier. Of course, it's not true that the more times you brush your teeth every day, the better. Excessive toothbrushing can cause significant wear on the teeth and may even fail to provide the necessary protection.

In our country, there are a large number of patients with dental caries and periodontal diseases. According to surveys, about 600 million to 700 million people in our country suffer from various degrees of dental diseases, among which dental caries is the most common. On average, each person has more than two cavities, totaling over 2 billion cavities nationwide. The prevalence rate of periodontal diseases reaches as high as 80%. However, the resources for oral health care, including manpower, materials, and finances, are quite limited. Therefore, the fundamental solution to the problem of dental diseases lies in prevention.
