Proper Brushing Techniques in Your Gainesville, Florida Apartments
Brushing your teeth may seem simple enough, but most dentists would shake their head in disappointment if they watched our daily brushing routines. Even though most of us know the basics of brushing our teeth, we tend to cut corners and find other ways to neglect our oral hygiene. Here are a few reminders on how to make sure you won’t be frequenting the dentist office because of bad brushing habits.
- Two minutes means two minutes! Everybody has heard their dentist tell them to spend at least two minutes brushing their teeth, but few people actually do. Start getting in the habit of following your dentist’s advice.
- Make sure you thoroughly brush the hard to reach places like the backs of your teeth, gum-line, and around any crowns or fillings you may have.
- Soft bristle brushes are ideal for removing plaque and other debris. However, most dentists agree that electric toothbrushes will clean your teeth the best. Remember to replace your toothbrush when the bristles begin to wear. A toothbrush can become largely ineffective if the bristles become too worn down.
- Don’t forget to brush your tongue to freshen your breath – and also floss once a day after brushing,
