Everyone knows to brush your teeth every day .
But are you sure you know how to do it well?
This may sound like a weird question.
But when you've seen the following, you'll thank us. Watch:
Know that cheap toothbrushes are just as good as the most expensive ones. However, what is important is to change them regularly. At least once every 3 to 4 months.
To avoid pressing too hard on your teeth, try holding your toothbrush between your index finger and thumb. Don't use the rest of your fingers or you risk putting too much pressure on your teeth.
Why ? Because it damages the enamel of your teeth.
For the same reason as before, you should resist the temptation to eat anything right after you've brushed your teeth. Wait at least half an hour.
Divide your mouth into four quarters and spend 30 seconds on each.
Flossing is almost as important as brushing your teeth, so try to get into the habit of using it every day. On the other hand, mouthwashes, such as Listerine, have very little benefit for the hygiene of your teeth. To fight bad breath, use our homemade recipe here instead.
Dentists recommend soft toothbrushes. Hard bristles can damage your tooth enamel and gums.
This is one of the most important parts, so don't forget it.
