Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can have various causes. Here are some common causes of bad breath:

1. Poor oral hygiene: If plaque and food particles are not thoroughly removed, bacteria can accumulate in the corners of the mouth and lead to bad breath.

2. Dry mouth: A dry mouth can reduce saliva production, which can lead to the growth of bacteria and cause bad breath.

3. Oral and dental problems: Gum inflammation, tooth decay, mouth sores, or other oral problems can also cause bad breath.

4. Smoking and Alcohol Consumption: Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages can cause bad breath.

5. Diet: Certain foods, such as garlic, onions, or strongly spiced dishes, can cause temporary bad breath.

6. Health problems: Certain medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, sinus infections, or liver disease, can also cause bad breath.

If bad breath is a frequent problem, it is advisable to see a dentist to determine the exact cause and take appropriate steps to treat it:

a) Push Brush can help you fight bad breath:

• Thorough cleaning thanks to the special high/low bristle design, which removes plaque more effectively than straight bristles.

• Zinc, which has anti-inflammatory properties, helps prevent periodontitis and bad breath.

• Menthol leaves your breath feeling fresh.

Some tips for preventing tooth decay:

1. Brush your teeth regularly: Brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Use a soft- to medium-bristled toothbrush and be sure to clean between your teeth as well.

2. Floss: Clean between your teeth daily with dental floss or interdental brushes to remove food particles and plaque that can cause tooth decay.

3. Fluoride mouthwash: Rinse your mouth regularly with a fluoride mouthwash to provide additional protection against tooth decay.

4. Reducing sugary foods and beverages: Sugar is a major breeding ground for cavity-causing bacteria. Reduce your consumption of sugary foods and beverages to lower your risk of cavities.

5. Regular dental checkups: Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings to detect and treat cavities early.

6. Use of fluoride varnish: In some cases, your dentist may apply fluoride varnish to provide additional protection for your teeth.

By following these tips and maintaining good oral hygiene practices, you can reduce your risk of tooth decay and maintain your dental health.

b) Push Brush can help you fight tooth decay:

• Push Brush contains fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. To strengthen tooth enamel, it is important to use fluoride toothpaste and brush your teeth properly—that is, using circular motions and brushing from the gums toward the teeth.

• You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, ideally about half an hour after eating.

• Push Brush has the ideal bristle firmness—from soft to medium—for cleaning your teeth.

Brushing your teeth properly before bed is especially important:

While you sleep, saliva production decreases, allowing bacteria in the mouth to multiply unchecked. Here are some tips for brushing your teeth properly before bed:

1. Take your time: Take the time to brush thoroughly for at least two minutes. Clean all tooth surfaces, the spaces between your teeth, and your tongue.

2. Use fluoride toothpaste: Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and protects against cavities. Use a fluoride toothpaste for effective cleaning.

3. Use a soft toothbrush: Use a soft- to medium-bristled toothbrush to gently clean your teeth and gums without damaging them.

4. Use dental floss or interdental brushes: Clean between your teeth with dental floss or interdental brushes to remove food particles and plaque.

5. Clean your tongue: Don’t forget to clean your tongue as well, since bacteria can also accumulate there.

6. Avoid eating or drinking after brushing: Avoid eating or drinking anything after brushing your teeth so as not to interfere with the toothpaste’s effectiveness.

By following these tips and brushing your teeth regularly before bed, you can improve your oral health and reduce the risk of cavities and other dental problems. Push Brush can help you do just that with its high-quality toothpaste and toothbrush:

GERM TRAP: TOOTHBRUSH

HYGIENE TIPS

There are numerous bacteria in our mouths that we transfer to our toothbrushes every day. That's why you should not only replace your toothbrush regularly, but also follow a few tips.

Let it dry

If the bristles can't dry, bacteria can build up on them. You should avoid that!

Tip 1: For example, the toothbrush should be stood up like a Push Brush so that the bristles have enough time to dry.

Tip 2: Do not use protective caps around the bristles or closed storage containers.

Push Brush has designed its protective cap with large holes so that the bristles can dry quickly.

 

Keep Your Distance

Avoid direct contact with other toothbrushes so that bacteria from other people don't end up on your toothbrush.

Tip 3: The Push Brush was designed so that the bristles neither come together when standing nor when lying down .

 

 

Regular Bristle Replacement

Replace your toothbrush after 3 months at the latest!

Tip 4: Push Brush holds enough toothpaste to last about 3 months. When the toothpaste runs out, it’s time to replace the bristles. The toothpaste thus serves as an indicator for when to replace the bristles! Push Brush supports dental health with a fully automatic replacement every 3 months!

Most consumers want to replace their toothbrush after 3 months, but hardly anyone remembers when they bought it. They don’t replace it until the bristles start to bend. Statistically speaking, we use an average of two toothbrushes per year. 

 

A bright, white smile isn't just beautiful—it also promotes overall health

Most of you were probably told by your parents when you were kids not to eat too many sweets—otherwise you might get cavities. According to apotheken-umschau.de, this condition—also known as tooth decay—is caused by an excess of dental plaque, which can form on the teeth from food particles. Bacteria colonize this plaque, which in turn converts the sugar from food into acid. This acid attacks the tooth enamel, gradually destroying the tooth—resulting in a cavity. Therefore, poor oral hygiene is naturally a major risk factor for tooth decay, because if teeth are cared for properly, no plaque forms on which bacteria can settle.

Although tooth decay is the most common dental disease, gum disease, periodontitis, and periodontosis are also common. Here, too, one of the causes is bacterial plaque. This is because plaque attacks not only the teeth but also the gums. As a result, the gums can become inflamed. If gum inflammation goes untreated, it can lead to periodontitis and the associated progressive recession of the gums. This should not be confused with periodontosis, which is a non-inflammatory recession of the gums.

But dental plaque isn't the only thing that can lead to periodontitis or periodontal disease. Other causes of these gum diseases may include:

• poor oral and dental hygiene
• Poorly Fitting Dentures
• Teeth Grinding
• Diseases such as diabetes
• Stress and Depression
• Smoking
• Obesity

What both gum diseases have in common is that, in the worst-case scenario, the progressive recession of the gums can lead to tooth loss. In such cases, it becomes necessary to replace the lost teeth, for example, with an implant, a crown, or dentures.

When teeth need to be replaced depends largely on your daily oral hygiene routine. The better you care for your teeth, the more effectively you can prevent dental diseases such as cavities, periodontitis, and periodontal disease.

 

Dental health also affects the rest of the body

Incidentally, dental health is important not only for aesthetics and eating. Although hardly anyone attributes poor health to their teeth, dental health actually affects a person’s overall health. According to infomedizin.de, patients with periodontitis and periodontal disease have a much higher risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks or strokes. The reason: The recession creates a wound in the gum line, through which dangerous bacteria can enter the bloodstream and trigger further diseases in other parts of the body. In this way, conditions such as rheumatism, bladder or prostate infections, and allergies can also often be traced back to dental problems.
