Tips on Brushing Your Teeth
Below are a few tips I learned as a body language expert and former
spokesperson for a Dental product line the Natural Dentist where I did research on
the relationship between your smile and your DISC Personality. I also found out a tremendous amount about teeth as the sister of a former dental hygienist and Endodontist.
What's the best method to brush your teeth- up and down, in
circles or back and forth?
You want to brush up and down, back and forth can erode the
enamel.
What kind of toothpaste should you use?
You want to use the right toothpaste for your teeth and your
gums so get your dentist to recommend if you need special toothpaste like tarter control or you can
do more harm than good.
Should you brush without tooth paste?
Brush once a day without toothpaste too as it actually
gives a different kind of cleaning.
What is the best toothbrush to use?
Automatic toothbrushes are great to use for the full two
minutes.
How often should you brush your teeth?
Twice a day brushing is typically
enough.
What if I can't brush my teeth after I eat?
If you can’t brush your teeth because you’re out and about
one of the most effective fall backs is to swish water around in your mouth,
very powerfully. Then brush your teeth when you get home.
Liquid damages your teeth too if not brushed away, so brush or
swish water after coffee, juice and other beverages and any sweets like candy.
