Tips to Brush Right!

Do you want to know the best way to brush your teeth? Are you someone who brushes his/her teeth twice a day and also flosses diligently? Even if you do, there could be something wrong with the technique. Most of the debris might still be in your mouth!

The Main Tips and Tricks to Correctly Brush Your Teeth

Let us have a look at the basics to brush your teeth correctly in the steps below: 

• Do not brush back and forth- Imagine your teeth as vertical bamboo sticks, now if a piece of kale is stuck in between your teeth, brushing up and down or in circular motions is even more helpful than horizontal motion.
• Brush your gums- We spend more time brushing on top of our teeth rather than at the gum line. It's important to place the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to be able to reach in there easily.
• Reach your back teeth- Close your mouth slightly while brushing your back teeth so that your cheeks let your brush slide in easily, and reach those corners behind your last teeth.
• Pick the right brush- Make sure your toothbrush can reach spaces it needs to cover. Use soft bristle toothbrushes with a small brush head.
• Do not brush too soon- It's tempting to brush right after eating sometimes, but we can actually harm our teeth as there is an acid in food which can wear our teeth. Try waiting for 15-20 minutes after meals or rinse out with water before you brush.
• Brush 2 times a day- Plaque builds up on our teeth every 12 hours, so you must brush at least twice a day. Especially brushing at night is the most important as bacteria get the perfect environment to attack your teeth when you are asleep.
• Brush for two minutes.
• Change the toothbrush when the bristles are bent and dirty.
