though some people may spend longer, or less. Spending less than a
minute to brush isn't enough time to clean your teeth.
Here are some tips to help you improve your "teeth brushing skills":
1)While brushing your teeth, use short gentle movements and avoid
using too much pressure.
2) Concentrate on parts of your teeth that are not easy to reach,
especially the areas between your teeth, eating surfaces(molars,
premolars), and your upper and lower gums.
3) A good brushing technique is nothing without an effective
toothpaste. Getting the right toothpaste to buy is so important
especially when being faced with a market that is flooded with various
types and brands. There are toothpastes that help prevent toothaches,
tartar and gingivitis, while others are specially for sensitive teeth.
Your dentist may recommend a type of toothpaste for you if need be.
Also make sure you use the required amount of toothpaste for brushing.
Most manufacturers suggest a "Pea size" amount.
4) Your Toothbrush: what type of toothbrush should you use or what is
the best toothbrush shape available?
Have this in mind when choosing a toothbrush;
go for toothbrushes with soft bristles, these are tender and will not
bruise your gums but will still get the job done.
Select toothbrushes with small heads because they can easily get to
those "hard to reach" areas or corners.
5) How often should you change your toothbrush? You should change your
brush atleast every 3 months, even if it's not showing any signs of
wearing out.
You should also replace your toothbrush after being treated for any
mouth or respiratory infections.
6) How often should you brush your teeth?
Always brush twice a day as recommended by dentists all around the
world. First thing in the morning (before eating) and last thing at
night (after eating).
Caring for your teeth isn't rocket science and also take time to visit
your dentist at least twice a year for regular checkups to maintain
your "toothpaste" smile.
