      Learn the correct way to brush your teeth

      Normally, everyone must have a lot of lateral brushing methods when brushing their teeth. Maybe you don't know that this will cause great damage to the teeth in the long run, and some food residues cannot be removed.

      The more scientific method is to brush the upper teeth from top to bottom along the gaps between the teeth, and brush the lower teeth from bottom to upward, which can effectively clean various food residues in the gaps between the teeth.

      Then brush the toothbrush vertically against the teeth a few times, and brush the tip of the tongue as well.

      When brushing your teeth, try to avoid brushing your gums to prevent gum damage. And when brushing, the innermost teeth on both sides of the mouth should also be brushed.

      Master the intensity of brushing your teeth

      Many people brush their teeth too hard, which can easily cause gum bleeding. Doing this for a long time will damage your gums and teeth, so brush your teeth with even force and not too hard.

      Choose the right toothbrush

      Currently, toothbrushes are available in filament soft bristle brushes, medium bristle brushes and hard bristle brushes. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and we should choose reasonably according to our personal dental conditions.

      In order to protect the tooth surface, I recommend using a soft-bristled brush, which will cause less damage to the tooth surface.

      Know the appropriate time to brush your teeth

      When brushing your teeth, remember not to brush just twice, but to brush for at least 3 minutes. The best time to brush your teeth is about 3 minutes after a meal.

      Pay attention to how many times you brush your teeth every day

      The most reasonable frequency of brushing is 3 times a day. If that is not possible, brush your teeth at least 2 times a day.

      Clean your mouthwash cup and toothbrush regularly

      We only focus on brushing our teeth every day. Mouthwash cups are often dirty and easy to breed bacteria, so they need to be cleaned regularly. After each brushing, tap the toothbrush on the rim of the mouthwash cup to shake out the toothpaste from the bristles.

      Choose the right toothpaste

      Bite the squeezed out toothpaste with your teeth. If you feel that the toothpaste contains particles, it is a good toothpaste.
