Brushing your teeth should be one of the first hygienic habits that a person has to acquire in their life. The washing of the teeth gives a healthy aspect to one of the most important expressions of the human being: the smile. The first thing to be clear when it comes to brushing teeth is that you have to do it at least three times a day (morning, noon and night, after each meal). Of course, the most important is before going to bed, because it prevents the action of bacteria throughout the night.

But in addition to the times you have to brush your teeth, it is important to know how to do it. The first thing to keep in mind is the brush. Let’s say we use a manual. Did you know that there is a need to renew it every three to four months to fulfill its function perfectly? Excessively prolonged use of a toothbrush will cause wear to end up losing effectiveness. In addition, the bristles should have rounded tips and their size must be adequate to reach all places of the mouth.

When brushing your teeth the action should be done gently – if we act too hard it could damage the enamel – sliding the brush up and down the entire surface of the mouth, paying particular attention to the teeth since, although they are not so Visible as other dental pieces, because of their situation and the function they have when grinding food, are more vulnerable when facing problems such as cavities.

In addition it should be kept in mind that the process of brushing the teeth not only affects the teeth themselves, but also entails another series of care in the whole of the mouth. For example, it is important to brush the tongue from back to front to prevent the appearance of bacterial plaque which, among other things, is the main cause of bad breath.

In total, brush your teeth properly, it will not take you more than about 10 minutes a day. Do not you have the time to prevent all the problems that can cause bad oral hygiene?
