Are you brushing for long enough? 🪥
Most of us brush our teeth every day, but many people don't brush for the full two minutes.
A few simple habits can make a real difference:
• Brush twice a day, especially before bed.
• Brush for a full two minutes.
• Use a fluoride toothpaste.
• If you can, use an electric toothbrush. It can help remove more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
• Brush gently. There's no need to scrub.
• Clean between your teeth every day with floss or interdental brushes.
• Don't rinse with water straight after brushing. This helps the fluoride protect your teeth for longer.
Healthy teeth aren't about being perfect. They're about building good habits that last.
If you're not sure whether you're brushing effectively, or you'd like advice on choosing the right toothbrush, ask us at your next appointment. We'd be happy to help.😃😄
