Oral health is of fundamental interest in our daily lives, as teeth not only play an essential role in eating, but are also an integral part of our facial expression when smiling. From YOTUEL today we talk about eight curiosities about teeth that may surprise you.

Discover some dental curiosities

• Constant renewal of taste buds: Taste buds last for only 10 days, underscoring the need for constant cleaning to prevent bacterial buildup
• Bacterial battle in dental plaque: More than 300 types of bacteria make up dental plaque; Daily brushing and rinsing are essential to combat it. With the YOTUEL range of toothpastes and mouthwashes, you will completely protect your mouth
• The teeth are like an iceberg: We see only 2/3, the rest is hidden under the gums, where the tooth root is located and is protected. For this reason, it is essential to take care of our gums with YOTUEL® Pharma B5 or YOTUEL® erosion teeth & gums.
• Teeth are unique: Each person has unique teeth, as is the case with fingerprints; Taking care of its uniqueness is essential for proper care.
• The hardness of tooth enamel: Tooth enamel, composed of calcium and phosphates, stands as the most resistant substance in the human body. Although it requires caution and care, microscopic studies show that after applying YOTUEL® all·in·one for a while, the hardness of the enamel is greater.
• Strength of dental floss: In 1992, a prisoner in West Virginia, USA, used dental floss to braid a rope and escape by climbing the building thanks to the material it is made of.
• First toothbrush and toothpaste: In 1938, the first advertisement for toothbrushes was broadcast, while the first toothpaste was created in 1908 after 17 years of attempts to develop it.
• Teeth are indicators of general health: As we have talked about on other occasions, our teeth not only reflect eating habits, but also warn of systemic diseases. Therefore, it is very important to take care of our oral microbiome with YOTUEL microbiome one.

In short, taking care of our teeth is not only essential, and with daily practices such as correct brushing and complete care of our mouth, we not only maintain our smiles, but also contribute to our overall health.
