Brushing is the key to maintaining and creating a healthy-looking, beautiful smile. Here are some tips to help you improve your brushing procedure.

Remember to brush with a soft bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste twice a day. Spend at least 2-5 minutes brushing your teeth. Replace toothbrush at least four times a year.

The best way to brush your teeth is by holding the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against the gum line, while moving the brush back and forth with short gentle strokes in the outer and inner surfaces of the teeth.

Remember to clean your tongue with your toothbrush, it helps to remove bacteria and to prevent bad breath.

Flossing helps to remove plaque and food particles that get stuck between your teeth. It also prevents bad breath, cavities, and oral diseases like gingivitis.

Use Mouthwash

Mouthwash is a great way to end your brushing regimen and start your day with fresh, clean breath. Stay away from mouthwashes that temporarily mask bad breath.

A diet that is low in sugar keeps teeth strong and gums healthy. Getting the necessary supply of calcium is also important for strong teeth.

Make sure you visit your dentist twice a year to prevent any dental problems.
