Fun Facts about Brushing Your Teeth

Posted .

Are you aware that you can dramatically improve your oral health care just by improving how you brush your teeth? Usually, you should be brushing your teeth twice a day, every day, although brushing will not be effective if you are not doing the job correctly. To enhance your tooth brushing tactics, consider the following:

– Be sure to brush your teeth at least twice per day.
– Due to the abrasiveness of toothpaste, try to stay away from brushing your teeth right after eating, as your teeth may be extra sensitive during this period.
– Make an effort to store your toothbrush in a safe and secure area both upright and with proper ventilation.
– Do not share or cross contaminate your brushes with others.
– If your toothbrush is worn down, replace it, as standard toothbrushes typically only last around 3-4 months.
– Use a brush with soft bristles that is big enough to easily clean and reach all areas of your mouth.
– If it proves too difficult to brush by hand, try switching to an electric toothbrush.
