One of the best ways that you can maintain proper dental is by regularly brushing your teeth. Dentists recommend that you brush twice daily, and after meals. This will ensure that you remove food particles that remain after eating. You will also be cleaning the surface of your teeth, preventing discoloration and stain on your teeth surface. That said, you should also practice good brushing habits. Changing your toothbrush is a vital practice that will provide you with a toothbrush that is effective in cleaning your teeth. Our dentists also provide tips on what to do while brushing your teeth to ensure maximum protection of your teeth.
Do not rinse your mouth immediately after brushing
Dentists recommend that you avoid rinsing your mouth immediately after brushing your teeth. This is because when you introduce water in the mix and spit out the contents, you will be removing the fluoride that is meant to strengthen your teeth. The water will also dilute the fluoride, and make it less effective.
The standard practice should be to spit out the excess toothpaste from your mouth and let the remaining in your mouth. This will provide ample time for the fluoride to sit on your teeth and strengthen your teeth in the process.
Maintain regular dental checkup
Even with routine brushing of your teeth, you should never skip your dental checkup. Our dentist will have ample time to check the development of your oral health and detect oral issues early. This allows for preventive and corrective treatments, to stop the progression of dental issues.
