Tooth brushing is one thing we do as part of
achieving good personal hygiene. Doing it right is a key part of good oral
health and general wellbeing. This will also provide you with healthy teeth,
fresh breath and a nice smile.
The following are useful tips:
·
Choose
the right tool: Do you have the right toothbrush?
Think about the size of your mouth and that of your tooth brush. Your toothbrush
should feel good in your mouth and hand. It is recommended that soft
toothbrushes should be used for about 3months.
·
Devote
enough time to it: Clean your teeth thoroughly at least
once a day.
·
Use
the right technique: Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle
to your gingival, and make an up-and-down motion using short strokes. Dental floss
should also be used for removing plaque on interdental areas.
·
Your
toothpast should contain fluoride.
In conclusion, always keep your toothbrush clean. Rinse
it well after use, let it air dry (a moist brush is likely to grow bacteria)
and store in a clean place in your house. Never let brushes touch each other if
they are stored together.
