Regular brushing of teeth is one of the most important rules for good health. However, for tooth brushing to be effective, it is not enough to be regular but it must be done in the right way.
In fact, many make three basic and common mistakes. See below what they are:
We are using the wrong toothbrush
Many people choose a hard toothbrush because they believe it cleans teeth more effectively. However, hard toothbrushes should only be used by those who have porcelain cases or bridges in their teeth.
We brush our teeth at the wrong time
We need to brush our teeth at least twice a day, once at night before bed and once in the morning, but after eating breakfast.
We do not use dental floss
The toothbrush cleans the surfaces of the teeth, but not the spaces between the teeth, from where the gum diseases start and caries is created more easily. Therefore, you should use floss, especially if you have teeth with narrow interdental spaces or if your teeth are crooked.
