Brushing Teeth - Brushing your Teeth properly
Brushing Teeth. Flossing your teeth and using mouthwash come much later, because brushing is the most important step of dental hygiene. That means it's essential that you learn how to brush your teeth properly. This page is here to offer some teeth brushing tips.
Teeth Brushing
Before we get to the brushing teeth tips, take a moment to meet "Adamantine" a character I have created for this section of the website, with a really lame original name. Say hello to Adamantine!
Now that you've seen the badly-drawn illustration of her, let's listen to what I Adamantine has to say on the subject of teeth brushing...- Be sure to pick the right tooth brush for you. You might want to buy a soft-bristled one if you haven't been taking very good care of your teeth and gums for a while.
- Brushing your teeth means devoting 4-5 minutes of your time to do it properly. One minute of brushing doesn't cut it. Do brush your teeth thoroughly at least once a day, for example, before you go to sleep, when you're not in a hurry.
- Fancy expensive tooth paste is not worth the money. Pick a brand and don't pay attention to the ads on TV too much. They're all essentially the same - it's the brushing that does 90% of the job, not the tooth paste.
- Brush your tongue. Everybody forgets to do that!
- Brush in between the teeth - because that's where the food gets stuck. Brushing these spots often means you are less likely to have problems with your teeth and gums.
