Dr. Mihai Juncar, a maxillofacial surgeon, says that typically a person should brush their teeth twice a day, with evening dental hygiene being more important than morning hygiene for good oral health.
"As a standard recommendation, tooth brushing should be done twice a day. Of the two moments in the day, the most important moment is in the evening.

Why? Because, normally, during sleep, saliva secretion decreases, our activity decreases, as well as our body protection mechanisms. Basically, in the evening all these decrease and then there is a free ground for bacteria in the oral cavity without being disturbed.
So, the evening is the most important time", said Dr. Mihai Juncar, for a TV station.
He specified that for patients with braces, dental hygiene "customization" is very important.
The doctor said that there are, depending on the patient, particular situations that require special attention to certain areas of the oral cavity, and it is important to consult with a specialist in the case of patients with dental bridges, implants, bone reconstructions or dental crowding.
