Brushing after each meal is ideal because food particles and bacteria can build up on your teeth within minutes of eating or drinking. Brushing right away neutralizes the toothpaste and gets rid of plaque before it hardens into tartar.
The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for at least two minutes each time. However, brushing three times a day is not excessive and can help reverse gingivitis. Have questions about our dental services? We'd be happy to help you out! Call us at (559) 497-8300.
